3D Hoofcare Solutions for Donkeys

Why the MoreAid Donkey Squish Pad is a Game-Changer for Laminitis

The MoreAid Donkey Squish Pad is a new type of clog—but with cutting-edge 3D-printed technology designed specifically for donkeys. This innovative therapeutic pad only became available in the U.S. this year, bringing the latest in hoof care innovation to donkeys suffering from laminitis, hoof sensitivity, and sole pain.

Why It Works & How It Helps

1. Full Sole Support & Pain Relief
✔ Unlike traditional hoof treatments that focus on the hoof wall, the Squish Pad supports the entire sole, frog, and bars—reducing pressure on inflamed laminae.
✔ This even distribution reduces pain immediately, making movement more comfortable.

2. Built-in Shock Absorption
✔ The soft-yet-resilient 3D-printed material compresses and rebounds, absorbing impact with every step.
✔ This protects fragile hooves and prevents further trauma while allowing healing to occur.

3. Encourages Correct Weight Distribution
✔ Many laminitic donkeys shift weight to their heels or avoid moving altogether due to pain.
✔ The Squish Pad gently shifts pressure away from the painful toe area, promoting natural movement and better circulation—which speeds up recovery.

4. Glue-On or Cast Applications for Versatility
✔ Can be glued on or secured with a cast, allowing for customization based on the severity of the case.
✔ No nails or hard shoes required, making it perfect for compromised or sensitive hooves.

5. Cutting-Edge 3D Printing Technology
✔ Designed with precision, the Squish Pad is the first-ever donkey-specific hoof support pad—a huge step forward in hoof care.
✔ It just arrived in the U.S. this year, bringing European innovation to donkey owners who need better options for laminitis and hoof rehab.

Why Choose the Donkey Squish Pad?

✅ More comfort & faster relief than traditional methods
✅ Prevents further damage by absorbing shock & supporting the hoof
✅ Encourages movement & healing by improving circulation
✅ Flexible & non-invasive—glue-on or cast, no nails needed

This is the future of laminitis care for donkeys—and it’s finally here!

When I, Megan Hensley, reached out for donkey-specific hoof care products, Derek Poupard and Kelvin Lymer didn’t stop at the Donkey Squish Pad.

They are able to develop other custom 3D-printed solutions for donkeys, including:

🔹 Sole Protection Pads – Provides hoof protection and support for thin soles and chronic hoof sensitivity.
🔹 Extensions for Foals – Designed to aid in proper hoof development and address early growth imbalances.
🔹 Angular Limb Deformity Extensions – Made to assist in realignment and stabilization for growing donkeys.

Each product is custom-made for the specific needs of each donkey, ensuring effective support and correction.

Thanks to Derek and Kelvin for bringing precision and innovation to donkey hoof care.

Application Videos

Please note: More instructional videos are coming soon. These are brand-new products, and once I’ve applied them to donkeys, I’ll share my own videos. In the meantime, you can find some application videos on Facebook, showing them being used on horses.

If you apply them, please use #3DHoofCare on social media and feel free to tag me (Megan Hensley). Together, we can educate and share these products with donkey owners worldwide! 🌎

I have several hoof care workshops planned for 2025, and Squish Pad applications will be part of the education.

If you’re interested in attending or hosting a donkey hoof care clinic, please email me at [email protected].

In addition to using Squish Pads for hoof support, it is highly encouraged for donkey owners and rescues to become familiar with the Equine Cushing’s & Insulin Resistance (ECIR) Group. Their latest research papers and best practices provide current, science-based information on laminitis management, emergency diet protocols, and metabolic health.

Staying informed with ECIR’s research ensures you are using the most effective strategies for preventing and managing laminitis.
