How to fit the easy to trim and convenient one size Balance Hoof Care Pad
- The pads are marked with “GROUND SIDE” to avoid any confusion when fitting.
- Place the sized and worked shoe on the pad to line up with the horses’ natural frog and tap with hammer to mark toe clip or side clips and trim out this/these area/s of the pad. Note: the shoe will align with one of the guide grooves running through the frog insert section of the pad which will require trimming, unless fitting a larger size shoe.
- Once the clip areas are trimmed out, the pad will now sit flush with shoe. Option to trace around the shoe with a marker to assist with trimming the pad to size. Trim off any excess pad material, including at heel end of the pad prior to nailing on shoe/pad set.
- Make sure hoof is brushed clean and dry. The option to apply a frog treatment e.g., Kevin Bacon's Hoof Solution is now
- Mix equal parts of the Hoof Packing DIM (we recommend 3P Hoof Packing DIM) until colour is fully blended. Move quickly to avoid packing setting.
- Flatten the hoof packing DIM to cover across the frog area and position your shoe and pad in place.
- Secure the shoe with a nail in each side of the shoe and place the hoof down to bear weight and disperse the hoof packing DIM (3P Hoof Packing DIM) through the pad slots before it sets. This step is essential and should not be missed.
- Pick up hoof and wipe off excess hoof packing DIM before it fully sets.
- Put the remaining nails in the shoe and finish job as standard.
