ABSTRACT:
A device and method for use in preventing laminitis in the foot of a horse includes a boot which is formed and adapted to fit over the horse's hoof. A bladder is positioned inside of the boot and beneath the frog of the horse's hoof. A pump is connected to the bladder and pulsates the bladder to provide pulsating pressure to the frog of the horse's foot to simulate the pressure applied to the frog when the horse is walking. Pulsation of the frog has the effect of removing fluid which may tend to cause a softening of the area where the coffin bone of the horse's foot attaches to the hoof.
