Abstract
A portable, wearable, height adjustable equine leg rest that is removably supported on the lower leg of a person such as a farrier or veterinarian. A generally U-shaped padded hoof cradle receives and supports the lower leg of a horse for hoof work. A conforming elongate human leg support member is adapted for positioning along the lower leg of a person. A retaining device is provided for releasably retaining the leg support member on the person's leg. A height-adjustable extendable member provides a height adjustment for the hoof cradle. A ground contacting foot is affixed to the bottom end of the equine leg rest and transfers weight to the ground. The hoof cradle is mounted to the upper region of the leg rest, but extends to a side of the human leg support member such that the hoof cradle extends outwardly of the person's leg.
