Either side can be used.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHard Pads are designed to provide a supportive surface that yields to heat and pressure with no lateral (side-to-side) movement. They are intended to allow horses to focus on their proprioception and body awareness. As horses become more attuned to their balance and weight distribution, they become more relaxed and confident. The Hard Pad's combination of stability and responsiveness makes it an excellent choice for horses that are new to SURE FOOT.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Hard Pad is ideal for:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntroducing horses to SURE FOOT\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHorses with a previous illness, injury, or physical challenge\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBuilding a horse's confidence and sense of security in his own balance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLetting horses explore their balance without too much side-to-side movement\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUse with larger, heavier horses and breeds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNervous, anxious, or tense horses \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe dense material of the Hard Pad gradually yields to the horse's hoof, providing a customized level of support and comfort while allowing horses to sense changes in their balance and stability.
