FIRM SLANT will give more under the horse’s
weight than HARD SLANT. This is beneficial to
many horses because they can yield laterally -
similar to the FIRM pads - depending upon where
the hoof is along the slant thickness. (There are no
medium or soft, as those materials will not maintain
shape under the weight of a horse.)
FIRM SLANT may be used on either side; however,
the pad is more stable when used colored
side up, due to the angle in relation to the ground.
FIRM SLANT may be used in any direction, heel
high, heel low, or laterally (supination or pronation).
Horses may stand anywhere along the angle
of the pad from the thin leading edge to the full
height (up to 3”) at the back."
