Farrier Pride Clear Pads are highly durable, flat hoof pads designed for maximum visibility and protection. Unlike the colored wedge versions, the clear pads are available as flat pads, offering a transparent view of the hoof sole that is invaluable during the application of hoof packing or silicone.
Key Features and Benefits: Maximum Visibility: The clear polyurethane material allows farriers to see any voids or air pockets when filling the pad with packing materials, ensuring a complete seal and proper support. Versatile Protection: These pads serve as an artificial sole, deflecting ground contact and helping to absorb impact. They are also effective for keeping topical medications in place against the hoof.
Durable Construction: Made from high-quality polyurethane, they are noted for "super-wearing" qualities that often allow for a reset during subsequent shoeing cycles.
Reliable Shape: Designed in an oval shape with a flat heel edge, making them easy to trim and fit to various shoe styles.
