HARD SLANT are made of the same material as
the SURE FOOT HARD Pads, but cut on an angle.
The HARD SLANT may be used on either side;
however, the pad is more stable used colored
side up due to the angle it produces in relation
to the ground. HARD SLANT will give to heat and
pressure, but have no lateral give. Therefore they
will, for the most part, maintain the angle under
the weight of the horse. They can be used in any
direction: heel-high, heel-low, or laterally (supination
or pronation).
Horses can stand anywhere along the angle
of the HARD SLANT Pads, from the thin leading
edge to the full height (up to 3”) at the back.
Horses that are particularly unsure or nervous
benefit from using them this way as the horse can stand on the leading edge, which is very thin.
This allows the horse an opportunity to experience the feeling without the full height of the
SLANT Pads or the added height of the rectangular HARD pads.
Pads are suitable for use on any surface with horses that are shod, bare foot and/or wearing
boots. Pads will show wear over time. Nicks, tears and cuts are considered normal wear and tear
and do not limit the effects of the pads in any way"
