Does Your Horse Have Heel Pain?

Does your horse struggle with heel pain?

Think about how that must feel — every step, every landing, every ride.

This video gives a quick look at how The Black Pads are designed to help horses stay more comfortable while they continue doing their job.

The farrier still stays in control of the important decisions: how to trim and balance the foot, what shoe to use, and where to place it.

The difference is in the heel.

Instead of the horse landing on the hard, rigid heel portion of a steel or aluminum shoe, The Black Pads replace that area with a wide, impact-absorbing surface designed to help spread out the force of landing.

That gives the heel a better chance to do what it was meant to do — expand on impact, reduce concussion, and support the horse more naturally.
