The Medium Hoofjack® will accommodate a pony up to a small draft or draft cross (hooves up to a size 7 shoe or less than 7 ¾” wide). The Medium Hoofjack® base has the same base diameter as the Standard Hoofjack but is 3" shorter. The Medium Hoofjack® came about as a response to calls Hoofjack received over the years from people saying they were having difficulty keeping their heels on the ground when using the cradle on a front hoof. This was because the Standard Hoofjack® base was too tall for someone under 5'10" (or a floor-to-bottom kneecap distance of less than 18”) when using the cradle on the front hoof.

While the Medium Hoofjack® can be used in place of the Standard Hoofjack® it is ideal for:

• Smaller ponies (under 12 hands)
• Geriatric or injured horses with a limited range of motion
• Users under 5'10" who want to use the cradle on the front feet. An additional criteria to determine if the medium Hoofjack® is right for you is to measure the distance from the ground to the bottom of your kneecap. If that distance is less than 18” the medium Hoofjack® would be the best choice.
