A device or structure for fitting on the bottom of an equine leg cast to protect the cast from abrasion and wear, to aid in keeping the cast clean and, in one aspect, to provide a shaped molded rocker bottom that allows the leg cast hoof to rock forward or back, allowing the equine to find a naturally comfortable position. A method of applying the device to an equine leg cast. The device or structure consist, in general, of a solid member having a top face and a bottom face and having malleable straps attached to the solid member and extending from at least two sides of the solid member, which straps are made of material and sized to be capable of being bent or folded upward in a plane perpendicular to the top face of the solid member to attach to an equine leg cast.
An equine leg cast attachment comprising a solid whole member having a top face, a bottom face and having a circumference with a length around and having malleable straps attached to the solid member and extending from at least two sides of the solid whole member, wherein the malleable straps are made of material and sized to be capable of being bent or folded upward in a plane perpendicular to the top face of the solid member to attach to an equine leg cast and wherein the strap width are between about 3 to 16 percent of the length of the circumference of the whole solid.
An equine leg cast assembly comprising an equine leg encased in casting material having a bottom, to which is attached at the bottom an equine leg cast attachment comprising a horizontally whole solid member having a top face, a bottom face and having a circumference with a length around and having malleable straps attached to the solid whole member and extending from at least two sides of the solid whole member, wherein the malleable straps are made of material and sized to be capable of being bent or folded upward in a plane perpendicular to the top face of the horizontally whole member to attach to an equine leg cast and wherein the strap width are between about 3 to 16 percent of the length of the circumference of the solid whole member measured at the side of the solid whole member.
A method of protecting and providing improved mobility in an equine when in a leg cast comprising fitting an attachment comprising a solid whole solid member having a top face and a bottom face and having malleable straps attached to the solid member and extending from at least two sides of the solid member, which straps are made of material and sized to be capable of being bent or folded upward in a plane perpendicular to the top face of the solid member to attach to an equine leg cast on an equine leg cast by attaching straps of the device to the sides of a cast.
