Genuine SURE FOOT 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 and/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 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.

Using Your Pads

Please familiarize yourself with the SURE FOOT Equine Stability Program® before using SURE FOOT Pads. We highly recommend watching the Quick Start Guide prior to offering Pads to your horse for the first time. Also check out the illustrated SURE FOOT Equine Stability Program Workbook which can be taken to the barn!

• Use caution when first offering - make sure your horse is comfortable with them.
• Start by having your horse in an open space, like an enclosed arena.
• Keep your horse on a lead rope when using Pads, rather than cross ties.
• Position the Pads with your foot - keep hands away from hooves.
• Allow your horse to walk off the Pads if he needs to move.
• Never leave your horse unattended while using the Pads.

Always check with your veterinarian before using the Pads for any specific conditions or unsoundness. 

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 over time. Nicks, tears, and cuts are considered normal and do not alter the effect of the Pads in any way.

Caring For Your Pads

Before using your SURE FOOT Pads for the first time, rub a small amount of dirt or footing on the colored surface. This will prevent them from sticking together or from sticking to the horse’s hoof during the initial use.

If needed, Pads can be cleaned with a sponge and warm water.

Store your SURE FOOT Pads where rodents can't get to them. When not using the Pads, please don't leave them:

• In a closed vehicle (like a car or trailer)
• Exposed to excessive heat
• Out in prolonged sunlight

Simply - if you wouldn’t leave your dog there, don’t leave your Pads there.
