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. This program is designed to help support function and mobility of your horse and may help improve posture and proprioception.

This SmartPak Exclusive Set of SURE FOOT Pads includes 6 Pairs of Sure Foot Equine Pads: Hard, Firm, Medium, Soft, Hard Slant, and Firm Slant. The Set also includes a duffel bag and a FREE SURE FOOT Equine Stability Program® Workbook! 
With this exclusive set of pads, you will have all of the standard SURE FOOT Pad choices, giving you and your horse more choices while also offering individualized support for each hoof. Each Pad is packaged as a pair and comes with a Warranty Card Registration Form and QR Code for immediate Access to the Sure Foot Equine website for online registration and education.

The Hard Pad is ideal for horses that are new to the SURE FOOT Equine Stability Program. The 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.

The Firm Pad is ideal for horses that are comfortable with the concept of SURE FOOT Pads. The Firm Pad's dense and supportive material allows horses to feel slightly more unstable while still providing a gentle proprioceptive challenge. The Firm Pad allows horses to explore a larger range of weight shifts. When lateral movement is added, the pad begins to yield to the horse's hoof in a side-to-side manner

The Medium Pad offers a springy surface and is recommended to horses that have already been introduced to the SURE FOOT Equine Stability Program and are ready for a more challenging pad. Because of the spring in this pad, it is advised to gradually introduce this pad to your horse until familiar with the pad and to allow your horse to step off of the pad as needed.

The Soft Pad is designed to offer the most yield of all SURE FOOT Pads. The Soft Pad is not an introductory pad and is ideal for horse that are already familiar with the SURE FOOT Equine Stability Program and are ready for a more challenging pad. The Soft Pad yields to the horses foot allowing the horse to "sink" into the pad providing support and comfort. The Soft Pad can be used to encourage horses to explore their natural balance without excessive lateral challenge. 

The Hard Slant Pads are made of the same material as the Hard Pad and is designed to offer and supportive angled surface without lateral movement. The Hard Slant Pad is ideal for as an introductory pad for horses that are new to the Sure Foot program and encourage horses to explore their natural balance without excessive lateral challenge. 

The Firm Slant Pads are made of the same material as the Firm Pads and are designed to help introduce your horse to a laterally unstable pad. 
the Firm Slant Pads are intended to be used with the color side facing up. This pad offers more instability than the Half Physiopad or the Hard pad and allows horses to explore a larger range of weight shifts. The Firm Slant Pads are the next challenge level in the SURE FOOT Program after the Half Physiopad and the Hard Pad and are ideal for horses who are familiar and comfortable with the SURE  FOOT Equine Stability Program®

Assembled in the USA.


To get started with SURE FOOT Equine Balance Pads, it is strongly recommend that the Quickstart Guide is reviewed prior to using Sure Foot Pads. When first introducing Sure Foot Pads to your horse:

• Use caution when first offering Pads - make sure your horse is comfortable with the pads
• Use caution when positioning pads and keep your hands/feet away from hooves
• To start with, have your horse in an open space (like an arena) and on a lead rope
• Allow your horse to walk off the Pad if he needs to move
• Observe your horse’s response as a guide to 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 SURE FOOT Pads for
any health-related conditions. Have your horse on a lead when using SURE FOOT Pads instead of
on crossties. Do not leave horse unattended while using Sure Foot Pads.
