The double-sided Half Physiopad is the most versatile of all the SURE FOOT Pads and a great place to start. As an introductory Pad, it can be useful if you’re unsure how your horse is going to react, if you’re working with a horse you don’t know, or if your horse is nervous or anxious. This Pad is also ideal for horses who have difficulty picking up their feet since it has a lower profile (1.5 inches) than the standard Pads (2 inches).

The Half Physiopad was specifically designed for farriers and trimmers, to help horses stand in comfort and stability during hoof care, supporting a safer environment for both humans and horses. This Pad is also popular among equine professionals for use before, during, and after treatments such as acupuncture, chiropractic, massage, etc.

The Half Physio and the larger Full Physio are the only SURE FOOT Pads made with a combination of two materials: Hard and Medium. Either surface may be used. The 1-inch Hard side will give slowly while the ½-inch Medium side is a bit softer.

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.
