The Castle Plastics Snoball Pad is a heavy-duty, full-coverage winter hoof pad designed to prevent the accumulation of ice and snow inside a horse's shoe. It features a prominent "convex ball" or "bubble" in the center that compresses and pops inward when the horse steps, effectively ejecting packed snow and slush to maintain secure footing.
Key Features & Benefits: Convex Ball Design: The central "popper" mechanism forces out snow with every step, preventing the formation of dangerous "ice balls".
Winter-Resilient Material: Manufactured from high-quality virgin polyurethane that remains flexible and effective even in sub-zero temperatures.
High Durability: Resistant to barnyard acids and built to withstand a full shoeing cycle, these pads are often sturdy enough to be reset across multiple shoeings.
Traction Compatibility: Works effectively with horseshoes featuring low calks or those treated with borium for enhanced stability on icy surfaces.
