HARD SLANT are made of the same material as the SURE FOOT HARD Pads, but cut on an angle. The HARD SLANT may be used on either side; however, the pad is more stable used colored side up due to the angle it produces in relation to the ground. HARD SLANT will give to heat and pressure, but have no lateral give. Therefore they will, for the most part, maintain the angle under the weight of the horse. They can be used in any direction: heel-high, heel-low, or laterally (supination or pronation). Horses can stand anywhere along the angle of the HARD SLANT Pads, from the thin leading edge to the full height (up to 3”) at the back. Horses that are particularly unsure or nervous benefit from using them this way as the horse can stand on the leading edge, which is very thin. This allows the horse an opportunity to experience the feeling without the full height of the SLANT Pads or the added height of the rectangular HARD pads. Pads are suitable for use on any surface with horses that are shod, bare foot and/or wearing boots. Pads will show wear over time. Nicks, tears and cuts are considered normal wear and tear and do not limit the effects of the pads in any way"
