So Erin created this rubber-dipped sock which 'breathes' whilst still protecting and soaking the damaged hoof. This 'breathability' prevents the hoof going soft during the treatment period. A thick EVA sole pad relieves pain for the horse and extends the life of the Tubbease'. Various remedies can be used under the sock for ailments such as abscess, thrush, seedy toe, thin sole, injuries, cracks and general deterioration. Dimension is maximum width of hoof that will fit in the Tubbease cup. Tubbease is a Registered Design, No NZ 417646.NB: Tubbease should always be secured with the Velcro strap supplied. A bandage is not suitable or adequate. New straps are available.
