š“Ā Limb Prosthetics for Horses ā Restoring Mobility and Quality of Life
Horse prosthetics are becoming increasingly mainstream, offering life-changing support for animals recovering from catastrophic injuries, severe diseases like vascular conditions, tumors, or other serious health issues. When a leg amputation becomes necessary,Ā Specialized Pet SolutionsĀ is here to help.
Thanks to advancements in technology and materials, we now have the tools to help horses live healthy, active livesāeven after limb loss. The same prosthetic principles used in human medicine can be applied to equine care, helping reduce strain on the remaining limbs and dramatically improving overall mobility.
š¦æ How We Help Horses Thrive
AtĀ Specialized Pet Solutions, we lead the way in animal prosthetics and orthotics. Our custom-designed devices give horses a second chance at movement, comfort, and independence. Many horses who havenāt walked or run in months begin to move freely again with the help of our prosthetics.
Horses quickly adapt to their new limb and often look forward to wearing itābecause they feel the difference. They begin to understand how the device supports them, reduces pain, and restores freedom.
š¦ Getting Started Is Simple
If you believe your horse is a good candidate for a prosthetic limb, contactĀ Specialized Pet SolutionsĀ in Spokane, Washington. Once you place an order, weāll ship a casting kit the same day. The kit includes everything you and your veterinarian need to create a mold of your horseās limb.
After we receive the cast, we begin fabrication. Most devices are completed withinĀ 10ā14 business days, ensuring a fast turnaround and a custom fit.
Specialized Pet Solutions provides:
- Custom-made equine orthotic and prosthetic devices
- Easy-to use molding materials for the cast for the deviceĀ

š“Ā Should You Get Your Horse a Prosthetic or an Orthotic?
Choosing between aĀ prostheticĀ and anĀ orthoticĀ for your horse depends on the type and location of the injury. Understanding the difference is key to making the right decision for your horseās comfort and mobility.
š¦æ When Is a Horse a Candidate for a Prosthetic?
The location of the amputation plays a critical role. For aĀ front leg prosthetic, the amputation must beĀ below the elbow. For aĀ rear leg prosthetic, it must beĀ below the hock. These areas provide the necessary suspension to properly secure the prosthetic device.
If your horse meets these criteria, a prosthetic can significantly improve their quality of life by restoring balance, reducing strain on other limbs, and allowing them to move more naturally.
š©ŗ When Is an Orthotic the Better Option?
Orthotics are ideal forĀ lame horsesĀ that still have use of the affected limb but struggle with joint issues, instability, or pain. Just a few decades ago, many of these horses would have been euthanized. Today,Ā custom orthotic devicesāalso known as orthosesāoffer a second chance.
These braces can:
- Improve balance
- Reduce muscle or nerve pain (neuropathy)
- Support healing and mobility
- Prevent further injury
AtĀ Specialized Pet Solutions, we design orthotics that not only reduce pain but also help restore your horseās ability to move comfortably and confidently.
ā³ Give Your Horse Time to Adjust
Every horse responds differently to a new device. Some adapt quickly, while others need time and patience. Be gentle, consistent, and supportive during the adjustment period.
š ļø Custom Fit for Maximum Comfort
Gone are the days of one-size-fits-all braces. Today, we use aĀ custom casting processĀ to create orthotics and prosthetics that fit your horse perfectly. This ensures better support, improved comfort, and more effective results.
