Note: We are in the process of switching from the black to white material. Currently all lefts are black and all rights are white. It is the same material just a different color.
Many years ago, Dr Redden's Dalric Extension concept offered the world a fresh, new look at treating angular deformities in foals. Now he is introducing the Nanric Foal Extension, a second generation extension made of ABS plastic that is lightweight, easy to use, does not require sedation and is very effective when used on young foals.
Indications
- Recommended for foals 30 days or younger.
- Varus Fetlock (toed-in).
Apply to the lateral side of the hoof. Early detection is the key, as optimum response period is 5-30 days of age. - Varus Hock (windswept)
- Valgus Knee (knock-kneed, toed out)
The optimum window of response is 30-60 days.
How To Apply The NANRIC Foal Extension
- Valgus Hock (windswept)
- Clean the foot with a sanding block
- Fit the cuff to foot using the center toe marker as a guide. Note the cuff length at the coronary band and trim when necessary.
- Apply composite. We recommend Vettec's Super Fast for 1 week old foals and Equilox works well for older foals (though sedation may be required when using Equilox as it takes longer to cure).
- Warm the extension in cold weather to speed set time.
