At Doc Foal's, we manufacture The Black Pads and The Black Pads PLUS (featuring embedded magnets and copper). Our hybrid pads work seamlessly with your choice of conventional horseshoe, combining metal for structure with polyurethane for exceptional comfort and shock absorption. Designed as a versatile tool for horses with sore heels or general foot soreness, our pads leave the farrier in complete control of the trim, balance, shoe choice, and placement. Plus, they are highly durable—most often lasting for at least one re-set, and frequently more, depending on the horse's workload.
