Vet Special Hinged Educator Hoof - available in HORSE or DRAFT size
Actual freeze dried horse's hoof, pastern, and part of fetlock. It's sawn in half vertically for study of the internal structures; the coffin bone, navicular bone and related soft tissue are readily visible. An excellent time-saving tool for explaining not only anatomy, but also the mechanics of hoof trimming as it relates to the internal hoof.
The Vet Special has an extra cut in one half of the hoof to facilitate further explanation of the navicular area, the lateral cartilage, and the relationship of the sensitive and insensitive laminae. Vital elements are colorized and numbered for easy identification and extra emphasis.
It's hinged in the front and secures shut with a brass hook at the heel.
