There is a frame around 2:33 of 2 hoof stands with cradles that appear to have different concavity to their shape - can you talk about the difference and how we would choose the right concavity for our needs?

Hello Amber, I just uploaded a video showing how to replace a worn out rubber pad insert. The only difference between the two EquiPost Cradles is the one on the right is about seven years old. The cradle with less curvature is simply from general wear and tear of daily work. Currently we are only selling the one size. I find that it works well on 95%+ of the horses I work on , ranging from small draft, warmbloods to miniature horses and ponies. The horses that it does not work well with are the very small ponies and horses that have very arthritic joints that would not allow their legs to bend in a position to use the equipost. Hope this is helpful, Cheerio Chris
