Velmourne Collection
Hoof Testers
Hoof testers for locating sensitivity and supporting accurate hoof assessment.
Hoof Testers
Locating the source of hoof pain depends on even, controlled pressure applied across the sole and wall — too little and the response is missed, too much and every point reads as sensitive. Velmourne's hoof testers are built for that consistency, in weights and jaw spans to suit different sizes of horse and different hands.
Why Consistent Pressure Matters
- Jaws that flex or bind give an unreliable reading exactly when precision matters most
- Adjustable spans let one tester cover ponies through to draught breeds
- A well-balanced tester reduces hand fatigue across a full lameness work-up
- Repeatable pressure means findings can be compared point to point across the hoof
Testers in This Collection
- Hoof Tester — a standard-weight tester for routine examination.
- Hoof Tester (Large) — a wider span for larger feet.
- Hoof Tester (Heavy Duty) — built for sustained, high-frequency use.
- Hoof Tester Adjustable — one tester adjusted across a range of hoof sizes.
Every tester is checked for jaw alignment before dispatch — a tester that doesn't close true is worse than not testing at all.
