Description
Soft Ride’s patented and interchangeable Gel Orthotic Inserts are the heart of the Soft Ride gel boots system. Our Gel Orthotics conform to and support the sole of the hoof and the hoof wall on shod and unshod feet, providing unparalleled comfort for your horse. Soft Ride equine gel boots in sizes 2 through 7 include a pair of our standard, turquoise orthotics; size 8 through 10 boots include a pair of purple orthotics. Replacement or specialty orthotics are available and can be purchased in pairs.
We offer replacement gel orthotics because they may wear out, or you may need a softer or firmer insert with a different density depending on a few factors, such as your horse’s weight or a practitioner’s recommendation.
The purple/turquoise specialty gel orthotic is ideal for use on horses with laminitis.
- Provides extra cushioning for the front of the hoof.
- Rear half of the orthotic offers additional support for the frog and bars area of the hoof.
- This combination positions the front of the hoof slightly lower than the rear of the hoof.
