Make Your Horse Happy One Hoof At A Time!
SURE FOOT Equine Balance Pads are for use with the patented SURE FOOT Equine Stability Program® developed by Wendy Murdoch. This Program is a progressive system of offering a variety of unstable surfaces to the horse. SURE FOOT Pads are designed to help support function and mobility and may help improve posture and proprioception.
Medium Pads are color-coded with dark purple on one side and light purple on the other. Either side can be used.
Medium Pads are very springy and preferred by most people when they stand on SURE FOOT Pads themselves! The spring in this Pad is great for horses that tend to be a bit flat in their movement or are ready for a more challenging SURE FOOT experience.
Mediums are not an introductory Pad precisely because of their spring or bounce, as this effect can be unsettling to some horses. Medium Pads are generally introduced after a horse is already comfortable with at least two other density Pads, such as Hard and Firm. Once a horse has been on more stable Pads like these, Mediums are a great choice to challenge a horse’s balance a bit more.
Horses should be gradually introduced to this surface until they become familiar with it, and as always with Pads, allowed to step off as needed. Mediums can be mixed in with other SURE FOOT Pads to offer a wide variety of experiences for horses to explore.
Medium Pads are packaged as a pair and come with a Warranty Card Registration Form and QR code for immediate access to the SURE FOOT Equine website for online registration and education.
Assembled in the USA.
To get started using SURE FOOT Equine Balance Pads, we strongly recommend reviewing the QuickStart Guide, a short video. Here are some basic tips:
- Use caution when first offering Pads—be sure your horse is comfortable with them.
- Position Pads with your foot and keep your hands away from hooves.
- To begin, work in an open space (such as an arena) with your horse on a lead rope.
- Let your horse step off the Pads if he needs to.
- Observe his response and use it as a guide on how to proceed.

Note: SURE FOOT Equine Balance Pads are a tool to benefit your horse. Though durable, just like your other equipment they will show wear and tear. Nicks, tears, and cuts are considered normal and do not alter the effect of the Pads in any way.
Please be sure to familiarize yourself with the SURE FOOT Equine Stability Program® before using SURE FOOT Pads with your horse. Always check with your veterinarian before using the Pads for any specific conditions or unsoundness. Have your horse on a lead when using SURE FOOT Pads instead of on crossties. Do not leave horse unattended while using the Pads.
