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 primarily 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.
