Propads are dual purpose polyurethane hoof pads that provide shock absorption and frog support to a shod horse. Propads fill the void between the frog and the ground, giving horses the function and feeling of being barefoot while wearing a shoe.

Frog function is crucial not only for weight distribution, but also overall health and wellness. When you put shoes on a horse, you elevate the hoof, deactivating the frog to some extent. The patented accordion-like frog support featured in Propads allows the frog to regain proper function and ground contact. The horse’s weight is then appropriately distributed across the entire foot and the frog acts as a pump, promoting healthy blood flow and hoof growth.

Propads come in three different levels of support for your horse: Support, Support Soft and Xtra Soft, with the latter two styles featuring dual-density polyurethane displayed by orange and black material. All three styles support the bony column, reduce stress to the laminae and wall and reduce pressure to the joints and ligaments.

“Propads have proven to be a vital training aid for the racing industry, specifically harness racing. Many top trainers are using the Propad in order to promote healthy hoof growth and maintain soundness through the heavy training schedule these young horses endure to get to the starting gate,” says Conny Svensson, farrier for Harness Racing Hall of Fame inductee Jimmy Takter.

Extremely versatile, Propads can be used with any open heel shoe, making it ideal for all disciplines and breeds. They can be left intact or cut and used as a rim pad with added frog support. Incomparable in durability, most horses can get multiple resets from Propads.
