Click Horse Hock Shield Black with Green Trim - Hock Protection

In this review the Click Horse Hock Shield in black with green trim is assessed for horse owners seeking targeted protection against bed sores and hock sores. The bottom line: this is a practical, comfort-focused hock protector that excels at covering the specific area where sores form and at staying in place during daily turnout or stall rest. Recommended for owners who need a dependable, fleece-lined wrap that cushions tendons and reduces pressure in sensitive spots without restricting movement.

Key Features

• Comprehensive coverage: The shield delivers full coverage over the areas most prone to bed sores so affected hocks are protected from further rubbing and pressure.
• Comfort-focused pocket: A soft, flexible center-back pocket cushions the tendon area where skin is closest to bone, reducing pain and aiding healing.
• Tear-resistant outer shell: Constructed from durable neoprene to resist wear during turnout and handling while keeping the protector intact.
• Soft fleece lining: The internal fleece provides a comfortable contact surface that reduces friction against delicate skin.
• Adjustable fit for common horses: Sized to fit horse legs measuring about 13 in to 15.9 in around the hock and allows natural range of motion.
• Versatile care use: Suitable for prevention and treatment of hock sores in horses of many sizes, useful in both stall and light turnout situations.

Who It's For

The Hock Shield is best for horse owners caring for animals prone to hock sores, older horses with thin skin over the hock, and horses recovering from pressure-related lesions. Its fleece lining and center-back pocket make it specifically useful when tendon protection and comfort are priorities.

Owners with extremely active turnout needs or those wanting a long-term heavy-duty field boot may prefer a different style, since some customers reported mixed durability experiences under very rough use. Also measure just above the hock joint; it fits horses with a leg circumference of about 13 in to 15.9 in.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Effective protection that helps hock sores heal and prevents new pressure points from forming.
• Comfort-oriented design with a center-back pocket that reduces tendon rubbing.
• Fleece lining improves comfort and helps the shield stay in place without binding or twisting.
• Tear-resistant neoprene outer shell resists everyday wear in most stable environments.

Cons

• Durability reports are mixed; a minority of users found seams or materials fail under heavy turnout.
• Single size fits a range but may not suit very small ponies or very large drafts without checking measurements.
