FIRM SLANT will give more under the horse’s weight than HARD SLANT. This is beneficial to many horses because they can yield laterally - similar to the FIRM pads - depending upon where the hoof is along the slant thickness. (There are no medium or soft, as those materials will not maintain shape under the weight of a horse.) FIRM SLANT may be used on either side; however, the pad is more stable when used colored side up, due to the angle in relation to the ground. FIRM SLANT may be used in any direction, heel high, heel low, or laterally (supination or pronation). Horses may stand anywhere along the angle of the pad from the thin leading edge to the full height (up to 3”) at the back."
