SURE FOOT Equine Balance Pads are intended for in the patented SURE FOOT Equine Stability Program® developed by Wendy Murdoch. This program is a progressive system in which the horse is gradually introduced to various unstable surfaces. SURE FOOT pads are designed to support function and mobility and improve posture and proprioception.

Soft pads are the most comfortable option in the SURE FOOT product line and offer the greatest degree of flexibility for that are ready for balance training. They compress quickly under load and allow gentle lateral movement, causing the horse to "sink in" and encouraging relaxation—similar to the feeling of slipping into slippers. Soft pads are best used after the horse has already developed confidence and trust on hard or firm pads. With veterinary approval, they can also provide support for sensitive hooves or joints. However, they are not recommended for soft tissue injuries.
