Old Mac's comfort pads are the ideal complement to almost any hoof boot in the Easycare range. The comfort pad is a flat pad designed to increase comfort and reduce concussion. Comfort pads increase heel comfort so that all horses- sound or unsound- are encouraged to move correctly. Comfort pads can also be a useful tool to improve the fit of a boot. A comfort pad will provide cushioning, additional protection and and shock absorption to the hoof as well as support to the frog. Comfort pads are an excellent aid in transitioning a horse from shod to barefoot, and exercise both the internal and external structures of the hoof to help build a stronger hoof capsule.

Comfort pads are available in three densities; soft, medium and hard.

Soft are ideal for very sore horses, or as the top pad in a stack if required.
Medium is the most popular density as it offers resistance coupled with a good amount of give.
Hard is useful to lift the hoof up if the heel is short or the hoof sits too low in a boot.

Comfort pads come in two thicknesses:

6mm which is ideal for everyday use, or to stack in any density combination to alter the fit of a boot if the heels are very short or the hoof sits too low in the boot.

12mm are a brilliant pad to help encourage a hoof to strengthen and improve, a soft or medium 12mm is usually the best pad to use on a transitioning horse, the more sore the horse is the softer the pad should be.
