Abstract
An adjustable horse owner's and farrier's stand includes a base having a large generally flat base and an upright portion upending from the base, and a hoof platform adjustably locked in the base. The hoof platform height may be adjusted continuously rather than incrementally for precise and accurate positioning of a hoof. One hoof platform includes a diverging U-shaped cradle, with a firm but cushioning, shock-absorbing material on its top side for elevating the hoof and absorbing the concussion of nailing and hoof maintenance. Preferably, the firm but cushioning material is a flexible strap slung across the cradle to form a hoof-receiving sling spaced above the surface of the cradle. Interchangeable hoof platforms may be provided, such as an alternative platform with a flat surface to receive the bottom of a hoof. The preferably plastic base, and the continuous adjustability of the height of the hoof platform, provide a quiet, substantially non-metallic, and non-intimidating stand that does not frighten most horses.
