Dwarf with lax tendons

I have a 6 month old dwarf (20 inches tall) weighing approx. 75 lbs who has very lax tendons in his right hind leg below the knee. When he walks he rolls over to the outside on his hoof. He never limps and the joint is not swollen but an obvious deformity. While he still runs and plays with his other companion who is also a dwarf I need bracing ideas as to what would be suitable to use. We are currently using Miracle Mend which is a wonderful product that lets us build him a lateral extension on the hoof to give him something to "plant" his weight on but it is not enough. Any ideas for suitable bracing materials? All standard bracing does not fit as he is so small.
