Positioning Block

Podoblock, a Dutch company specializing in the development and sale of accessories for X-ray imaging of racehorses, has obtained CE marking for its products, which are highly regarded for their quality not only in Europe but also in global markets.
Using Podoblock products improves the efficiency of the labor-intensive process of imaging racehorses and enables the acquisition of optimal images.

This positioning block allows you to secure the hoof at a consistent angle.
When used in conjunction with the Podo-Protection box or Cowboy box, it maintains an optimal shooting distance, enabling the photographer to shoot from a distance.
The height of the Podoblock from the ground to the tip of the hoof is 90, 120, or 170 mm.
