Ortho Kit 1.0
Werkman Ortho-Kit
June 2013 saw the launch of a comprehensive scientific study on the subject of shoeing, funded by the Werkman Horseshoes company and led by Dr. Jenny Hagen (Veterinary-Anatomical Institute (Veterinär-Anatomisches Institut) of Leipzig University).
The study focused on the impact of various horseshoes and shoeing modifications, taking into account diverse soil types, on
• the distribution pattern of the vertical compressive forces exerted on the hoof
• the size of the load-bearing area
• the foot roll and the gait
• the orientation of the phalanges
The results of this study were used for the development of the Werkman Ortho-Kit.
The Werkman Ortho-Kit provides you with an effective and straightforward means to turn Werkman horseshoes into various therapeutic shoes.
