Product Description
Hoof pads are vital protective equipment for horses that strike the heel area of their front hooves with their hind legs while in motion. Such impacts can damage the coronary band and heel bulb, one of the horse's most sensitive areas, leading to serious injuries. Hoof pads wrap around these areas like armor, absorbing the impact and preventing skin irritation or cuts. It is a practical and effective solution that ensures the horse takes safe steps both during training and daily outings.
