The Styrofoam Pads are the most important tool we have found to treat horses in the acute stage of laminitis.

They are pre-cut, hoof-shaped pads or blocks of a very dense 2" piece of special Styrofoam. (*It is important to note that regular white beaded Styrofoam is a poor substitute for this use.

This consistency and thickness are very important for optimal treatment.) The Styrofoam is used to offer the horse comfort and support through this critical stage of laminitis.

Use of the Styrofoam will allow the horse to stabilise so that a more comprehensive diagnosis and treatment approach can be established.

There are 4 pads to a set. Sizes range from Small to X-Large (‘00’ to ‘4’).
