Shires Equestrian Tubbease Hoof Sock for Abscesses, Thrush & Seedy Toe - Multiple Sizes

Stop the cycle of hoof discomfort and restricted mobility with a treatment solution that actually stays in place. The Shires Tubbease Hoof Sock provides targeted relief for abscesses and thrush while ensuring your horse remains comfortable and protected during the recovery process.

Engineered to bridge the gap between traditional poulticing and bulky rubber boots, the Tubbease features a unique rubber-dipped PVC cup that protects the sole without trapping moisture. This innovative mesh design allows the hoof to "breathe," preventing the softening and "stewing" of hoof tissue that often occurs with non-breathable alternatives, ensuring a healthier environment for healing.

Key Features & Specifications:

• Breathable Mesh Design: Promotes healthy hoof circulation and prevents tissue softening by allowing airflow, unlike traditional non-breathable rubber boots.
• Heavy-Duty Velcro Fastening: Features a secure hook-and-loop strap that fastens around the pastern, eliminating the need for messy adhesive tapes or cumbersome bandages.
• Thick Protective Sole: The durable rubber-dipped PVC cup provides immediate relief for horses struggling with thin soles, laminitis, or seedy toe.
• Bucket-Free Soaking: Simplifies your medical routine by allowing medicated fluids to be poured directly into the fitted sock, offering a cleaner alternative to traditional bucket soaking.
• Reusable and Washable: Constructed from high-quality materials designed to be washed and reused for multiple treatment cycles, providing a cost-effective alternative to disposable wraps.
• Precision Color-Coded Sizing: Available in Small (Pink/110mm), Medium (Red/140mm), Large (Blue/155mm), and X-Large (Orange/165mm) to ensure a snug, non-slip fit.
• Versatile Medical Application: Specifically designed for the effective management of abscesses, thrush, and protecting medicated hooves during confined stall rest.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Q: How do I ensure I select the correct size for my horse?
A: Sizing is determined by the maximum internal diameter of the rubber cup. Measure the widest part of your horse's hoof sole (not the length); if your horse is shod, be sure to measure over the shoe to ensure a snug fit that prevents rotation.

Q: Can I use the Tubbease Hoof Sock for turnout or riding?
A: No, the Tubbease is strictly intended for medical treatment and protection during stall rest or in a small, confined enclosure. It is not designed for high-activity movement, riding, or pasture turnout.
