{"product_id":"level-2-hard-slants-angle","title":"Level 2 - Hard Slants (Angle)","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGenuine SURE FOOT Hard Slants\u003c\/strong\u003e are color-coded with pink on one side and ivory on the other. Hard Slants are made of the same dense material as Hard Pads, but cut on an angle. It is recommended that you use the Slants colored side up for greater stability.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHard Slants will “give” to heat and pressure but have no lateral (side-to-side) give. Therefore, they will maintain their original angle under the weight of the horse. Although horses seem to prefer the Hard Slants positioned heel-high, they can be used in any direction -- heel-high, heel-low, or side-high (i.e. laterally) -- and under any hooves, front or hind.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHard Slants are an excellent choice for horses that are particularly unsure or nervous about standing on Pads. This is because horses can stand anywhere along the angle of the Slant from the thin leading edge to the full height at the back (3 inches). Choosing to stand on the thin edge offers the horse an opportunity to experience the feeling of Pads without the full height of the Hard Slant or the standard height of the regular Hard Pad (2 inches).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHard Slants can be combined with other Pads to stack two or, in some instances, even three Pads high. Typically, the Hard Slant is used as the top layer. Stacking allows the person to offer the horse an experience that matches the different habit patterns of the body. Do not force a horse to stand on stacked Pads. Be aware that stacked Pads may slip as the horse steps off or the Pads may slide. This may cause additional wear and tear on the Pads. However, stacking is worthwhile because it allows the horse to experience a difference in limb length, which can be especially helpful in establishing more normal, balanced posture and movement. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHard Slants are ideal for:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntroducing horses to SURE FOOT\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNervous, anxious, or tense horses \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHorses with a previous illness, injury, or physical challenge\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLarger, heavier horses and breeds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHelping to build 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\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHard Slants are packaged as a pair.
