Why do some horses need the Ultra?

  1. Some horses pivot on their hocks while getting up and spin their Hock Shields leaving their hock sores exposed.

  2. It can be used if a horse has an injury further forward than the typical bed sores.

  3. If a horse that has to wear a bandage, this will keep the wrap in place and prevent it from tearing.

  4. It can keep the hock warmer for the horse with arthritis.
