We have a horse who needs to try pads to absorb the concussion and vibration in his feet and legs from his shod feet going over the hard ground and stamping at flies. (He is not driven on hard roads for hrs, just ridden in a groomed ring and around grass fields. He wears fly boots inside to eliminate fly stomping totally, but can’t wear them out as he removes them in the pasture and then stands and stamps his feet.) Is there anyone that has experience with shoeing with a pad for cushioning vs navicular and such? If so, what did you have success with?
I had a set of front pads for my driving pony yrs ago but they are long gone. They were very flexible and shock absorbing. I wish I could remember the name… got them at the Equine Expo in Harrisburg PA
Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.
