🏆 Performance Cushioning Where It Matters Most
The Sport PLUS delivers targeted heel protection that keeps your horse comfortable, sound, and performing at their best. Unlike full pads that can trap debris and heat, our streamlined design focuses cushioning precisely where impact forces are greatest—the heel area.
✨ Key Benefits
- Targeted Heel Protection: Extra cushioning in the cleat (heel) area absorbs shock and reduces concussion where your horse needs it most—protecting against bruising, soreness, and long-term damage
- Hybrid Versatility: Works seamlessly with your farrier's preferred shoe style, giving you therapeutic benefits without changing your entire shoeing program
- Streamlined Design: Reduced center profile with strategic heel tapering means less material, better hoof breathability, and reduced risk of debris packing—while maintaining maximum protection
- Proven Comfort: Horses move more freely and confidently on hard surfaces, gravel, and varied terrain
- Therapeutic Support: Ideal for horses dealing with navicular syndrome, laminitis, founder, sheared heels, under-run heels, thin soles, or general foot sensitivity
💡 Perfect For
Performance horses that need protection without bulk, horses transitioning back to work after hoof issues, or any horse that's tender on hard ground. The Sport PLUS gives you the cushioning benefits of The Black Pad in a more refined package—think of it as the difference between running shoes and cross-trainers.
🔧 Easy Integration
Your farrier will love how The Sport PLUS works with standard shoeing techniques. No special tools or complicated installation—just enhanced comfort and protection for your horse.
Made in the USA with premium materials designed to last through multiple shoeings.
