Between May 14th – June 30th FormaHoof users can send back their used FormaHoof Molds, buy a brand new replacement from FormaHoof.com and receive another mold of their choice absolutely free! The returned mold will be cleaned, disinfected, and donated to an equine rescue centre or charity, to assist with the hoof health and rehabilitation of horses, ponies and donkeys in need.

FormaHoof’s mission is to help improve the comfort, performance and welfare of equines worldwide. Inspired by a local pony sanctuary in Waterford, Ireland and its caretaker Carole York, FormaHoof are proud to launch the Giving Back For Good FormaHoof Mold Replace & Donate Program, to support equine rescue and charity organisations that work tirelessly to help the many animals in their care.

Hoof problems are one of the biggest challenges faced in the rehabilitation of neglected and abused equines and FormaHoof can offer instant pain relief, faster rehabilitation and a brighter future for horses, ponies and donkeys that may have faced a lifetime of pain and neglect. Although FormaHoof Molds are built to last and have a long life span when cared for correctly, sometimes equine professionals and horse owners might like to replace older molds, even though they are still fully functional. The FormaHoof Mold replace and donate program gives you the opportunity to do this for free, while helping equines in need.

Carole York of Putting in the Magic Pony Sanctuary comments on the results she has achieved with FormaHoof with a number of laminitic rescue ponies:
“We started our FormaHoof journey on 6 March with Sinbad, a little Shetland with severe chronic laminitis. Sinbad had been on heavy duty painkillers for 8 days prior, but we were able to stop them as soon as we applied FormaHoof. After 5 weeks, we removed his application and found he’d grown heel and gained noticeable concavity in his soles. He’s now in the 3rd week of his second application and moving so well that he may not need another one!

“Another of our ponies – Ernie’ – could barely walk when he came to us. He got his FormaHoof application with a second-hand mold that was kindly donated to us by FormaHoof. Ernie had trouble walking pre-application, but just 4 days after the application he was able to climb up the hills in the fields, bearing most of his weight on his front legs. He is now 4 weeks into his first application and we are looking forward to see his progress.

“The materials required for an application of return! a size 2 Pony costs roughly €80 for two feet, excluding the reusable mold. While this may sound expensive we think it’s absolutely worth it for the pain relief, the much shorter recovery time over conventional methods and the peace of mind I get from knowing the ponies are getting the treatment they need and deserve and can be comfortable all the way.”
