ABSTRACT:
A correctional pad for use on the hoof of an animal such as a horse or the like is disclosed comprising a resilient body member having a side wall with a bottom wall extending laterally therefrom. The body member is comprised of a material such as Neoprene or the like so that the side wall member may be adhesively secured to the side of the animal's hoof so that the bottom wall member will be selectively positioned beneath the hoof to alter the flight of the animal's foot. One of the embodiments is substantially straight and is L-shaped in cross-section. A further embodiment is also L-shaped in cross-section but it is curved along its length so as to conform to the curvature of the animal's hoof. The thickness of the bottom wall member may be increased by laminating additional thicknesses thereon.
