Overview
Why We Love This
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.
Soft Pads are color-coded with a blue top on one side and beige foam on the other. Either side can be used.
Soft Pads are the most comfortable Pad in the SURE FOOT line. They are also the most unstable because they have the most “give.” Not only does the Soft Pad yield to the weight of the horse quickly, it also gives laterally (side-to-side), allowing the horse to sink into the Pad rapidly. This is unlike the Hard Pad which “gives” very slowly.
Using the Soft Pad is like presenting the horse with a pair of bedroom slippers -- comfort is acknowledged immediately. However, the Soft Pad are not a good choice for nervous, or anxious horses who need something more secure and ground-like to start out with, such as the Hard Pad or Physiopad. In general, it is recommended that horses should be comfortable with Hard or Firm Pads before progressing to Soft Pads.
Soft Pads are not a good choice for horses with soft tissue injuries due to the amount of instability these pads offer. If your horse has a soft tissue injury, please consult with your veterinarian before using SURE FOOT Pads. Once cleared to proceed, begin with Hard Pads to avoid lateral movements and introduce Soft Pads when your vet suggests.
Soft Pads are packaged as a pair and 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.
