Working in conjunction with our patented Double Sling Strap is our patented Orthopedic Wedge that is positioned behind the distal pastern. The soft ergonomically designed Orthopedic Wedge provides additional vertical support to the suspensories by dispersing the impact shock from each hoof strike. Combining the Orthopedic Wedge with the Double Sling Straps creates a boot that insures 360 degree support and protection. Although the boot is primarily designed as a rehabilitation boot, it is perfectly safe to use on a daily basis for any horse you may feel needs an extra measure of support and protection. Iconoclast® Rehabilitation Boots were designed by horse trainers and leading veterinarians who were unsatisfied with the performance of every other support boot in the market place. The equine leg needs support and protection against the daily rigors of extreme physical activities and there has not been a boot that adequately meets those demands until now. Please note: the Rehabilitation Boot does not accept bell boots
