PRO Orthopedic will introduce the first eco-friendly equine leg support in January 2009.

This new eco-foam, developed in accordance with the principals of the WBCSD, will fit and function the same as traditional neoprene but with a smaller ecological footprint. These redesigned supports also feature a fabric laminate made from a plant fiber base instead of petroleum. All products will be packaged in a recycled package that can, itself, be recycled.
