Padding it out - Using comfort pads in hoof boots

Most hoof boots can take a comfort pad system to help horses feel more comfortable, whether they are transitioning to barefoot or suffering from hoof problems such as laminitis, bruised soles or abscesses. These pads come in varying sizes and density. 

Easycare Comfort Pads

The Easycare range of comfort pads can be cut to size and will fit nearly all of the Easyboot range of hoof boots. They come in Small, Medium & Large with 6mm or 12mm thickness. Lastly you can specify the density of the pad from Soft, Medium or Firm depending on the level of support and relief the horse requires. 

Cavallo Gel Support Pads

The Cavallo Gel Pad is made from a special thermoplastic elastomer to give optimum shock absorption meaning your horses legs don't bear the brunt of the concussion. They also give increased support to the sole whilst maintaining frog stimulation to increase blood flow and hoof health. They are marked with all the Cavallo Hoof Boot sizes on them so it's simply a case of cutting them to fit following the templates.
