Snug Hoof Wool Hoof Pads 12cm, Natural Felt Padding for Horses

• Wool moulds to the shape of the frog rather than sitting flat on top of it, so the pad follows the underside of the hoof and stays in contact where it's wanted.
• It's breathable and hygroscopic, which is a long way of saying it draws the wet and the muck away from the hoof rather than trapping it against the foot.
• Wool absorbs many times its own weight in moisture without feeling wet, and it keeps letting air through while it does it, so the hoof isn't sealed up.
• Wash it, dry it and use it again. When it finally gives up it composts, so there's nothing to send to landfill at the end of its working life.
• Made in the UK from sheep wool felted onto a jute carrier. 10% of profit goes to Buy Land Plant Trees CIC.

Product description These hoof pads are made of sheep wool felted onto a jute carrier, and the reason they work is that wool moulds. A flat pad sits on the sole; a wool pad takes the shape of the frog and follows the whole underside rather than one flat plane. Wool is breathable and hygroscopic, so it wicks moisture and gunge away from the hoof instead of trapping it there, and it will hold many times its own weight in moisture without feeling wet. Wash them, dry them, and use them again; when they finally give up they compost. Made in the UK, in 12cm, 15cm and 20cm. 10% of profit goes to Buy Land Plant Trees CIC. Directions Simply slip into hoof boot. Remove, clean with soap and water, dry and reuse as necessary.
