Description
One of the largest advantages of this product is that it is essentially fool proof. Unlike similar products that must be mixed, cured and applied meticulously, the AIM Half Round only needs to be placed in the sole of the horses hoof, flat side against the sole, and secured with Vetrap. The unique property of the urethane allows the horses hoof to form the Half Round to the exact shape it needs. Another large advantage of this product is that it is extremely reusable and will regain its original shape. We recommend using the Half Round for up to 30 uses, but it has been used successfully up to 49 applications.

The Half Rounds come in a variety of sizes including; 3”, 4”, and 5”. This wide variety of sizes will ensure that all equines, from minis to Clydesdales, will be able to benefit from this unique product.

I feel compelled to tell everyone about this amazing product. My 26-year-old thoroughbred, Harry, fractured his knee a few months ago when he fell down racing around the pasture (yes – he’s still frisky at his age). My vet said it would take about 6 months to heal and during this time, he would need complete stall rest. I was extremely concerned about his discomfort and the threat of founder in his good leg, which is a common occurrence for horses with an injured leg.
Fortunately, I found this new product and applied the Half Round to Harry’s bad leg. It immediately made a huge difference in his comfort level and his attitude changed quickly. He was able to bear weight comfortably on the leg with the broken knee, which reduced pressure on his good leg. He miraculously recovered from the injury, which is rare for a 26-year-old horse. I truly don’t believe this great result could have happened without the AIM Half Round. I highly recommend the AIM product and will definitely be using it in the future.

I used the half rounds on two different horses. One horse blew the medial hoof wall and we placed the half rounds on to give some protection to the sole until we could get product to fix up the horse. The half rounds provided immediate relief. The only issue was that the half round was no longer usable. I feel it was because of lack of hoof wall to support.
The second horse was bleeding due to an over aggressive knife. The half round was used and again provided substantial comfort until actions could be taken to stop the bleeding. That half round was saved.
