The Equi-Librium front side clips is designed with balance and breakover for welfare and athletic performance of the horse. With the same superb features as steel but at a much lower weight, the Equi-Librium Aluminum is ideal for competition horses with extra knee action (i.e. horses judged on movement, such as jumpers), horses in rehabilitation after a leg injury, horses sensitive to strain or laoding injuries and horses requiring additional support provided by sole pads or silicone without increasing overall weight per foot.
