🐴 Limb Prosthetics for Horses — 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, Specialized Pet Solutions is here to help.
Thanks to advancements in technology and materials, we now have the tools to help horses live healthy, active lives—even 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.
🦿 How We Help Horses Thrive
At 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 haven’t 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 it—because they feel the difference. They begin to understand how the device supports them, reduces pain, and restores freedom.
📦 Getting Started Is Simple
If you believe your horse is a good candidate for a prosthetic limb, contact Specialized Pet Solutions in Spokane, Washington. Once you place an order, we’ll ship a casting kit the same day. The kit includes everything you and your veterinarian need to create a mold of your horse’s limb.
After we receive the cast, we begin fabrication. Most devices are completed within 10–14 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 device
- Support for you and your vet, while casting your animal, to ensure a perfect fit
- Easy shipping options

🐴 Should You Get Your Horse a Prosthetic or an Orthotic?
Choosing between a prosthetic and an orthotic for your horse depends on the type and location of the injury. Understanding the difference is key to making the right decision for your horse’s comfort and mobility.
🦿 When Is a Horse a Candidate for a Prosthetic?
The location of the amputation plays a critical role. For a front leg prosthetic, the amputation must be below the elbow. For a rear leg prosthetic, it must be 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.
🩺 When Is an Orthotic the Better Option?
Orthotics are ideal for lame horses 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, custom orthotic devices—also known as orthoses—offer a second chance.
These braces can:
- Improve balance
- Reduce muscle or nerve pain (neuropathy)
- Support healing and mobility
- Prevent further injury
At Specialized Pet Solutions, we design orthotics that not only reduce pain but also help restore your horse’s ability to move comfortably and confidently.
⏳ 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.
🛠️ Custom Fit for Maximum Comfort
Gone are the days of one-size-fits-all braces. Today, we use a custom casting process to create orthotics and prosthetics that fit your horse perfectly. This ensures better support, improved comfort, and more effective results.

🐴 Pain Relief for Horses — Support Beyond Medication
Horses suffering from conditions like a torn meniscus, arthritis, ACL/CCL injuries, Achilles tendon ruptures, nerve or spinal cord damage, or genetic anomalies once had limited options. In the past, pain management often relied solely on medication.
Today, things have changed.
At Specialized Pet Solutions, we offer custom orthotic and prosthetic devices that provide targeted support and relief. These tools help reduce pain, improve balance, and restore mobility—giving your horse a chance to live more comfortably and actively.
🐴 What Makes Our Horse Prosthetics Different?
At Specialized Pet Solutions, we design horse prosthetics and orthotics that are built to last. Each product features a durable polypropylene shell on the outside and non-porous foam on the inside—making them easy to clean and comfortable for daily use.
Our devices do more than just support—they actively help your horse:
- Balance weight more evenly
- Reduce strain on tendons and joints
- Avoid skin irritation or fur abrasion
- Move freely without restriction
Unlike generic options, our prosthetics are crafted to fit your horse’s anatomy and lifestyle. We focus on comfort, durability, and performance to ensure your horse gets the relief they need without compromising mobility.
