Hoof Pads and Wedges
Be Quick Horseshoeing, Inc
Hoof pads and wedges are available for lame horses or horses with tender feet. Leather hoof pads are preferred over plastic, because plastic makes the hoof sweat and sometimes irritates the horse. When using hoof pads, you need to make sure that dirt cannot get between the hoof and the pad and cause lameness.
Hoof Pads are generally considered useful in certain situations, particularly with lame or foundered horses, a properly set pad can provide the frog support needed to make the horse more comfortable.
