My horse only has one problem hoof. Can the hoof plate be applied to a single hoof?
The application of the Nolan Hoof Plate™ is required to be done on both feet of the horse, either front or rear, due to the rapid amount of growth that is experienced in the hoof during treatment. If one hoof only has the plates applied, the horse will be very unbalanced during the grow-out period and may experience difficulties in the opposing limb if it is not plated as well. The NHP will increase blood flow, support the hoof capsule while the horse is loading and encourage rapid, healthy growth in the hoof wall, frog, digital cushions and sole. This will happen in both feet if the hoof plate is applied appropriately, and the horse will stay balanced and sound.
