Yes that is extremly helpful in the beginning stages...Sally and I
use a foam kickboard that they sell over here, it has the similar
density that the Gene Ovineck site sells. When Gene was here and
Sally got to study with him one on one for 2 full days he talked
about the styrofoam that they use. They tested every type of
styrofoam they could find, and they use the one they sell one their
website because it produced the most comfort for the horses..not too
stiff not too soft...it comes precut, but buying any styrofoam will
help a lot if your horse is in any discomfort.
