  • Patent number: 5636695
    Abstract: A gripping device for horse's hooves. The novel device, in general, prevents the horse's hoof from winging in or paddling out in order that the hoof travels in a straight line, and, in addition, spreads shock evenly upon striking the contacting surface and taking pressure off the wall of the hoof. The gripping device has a flat top surface which faces towards a horse's hoof and a bottom surface opposite the top surface, the bottom surface having a raised portion for improved gripping, the device being positioned centrally with respect to the horse's hoof.
