The EasyShoe Mesh Pad offers hoof care professionals a versatile new option for adding support, comfort, and stability to a wide variety of hoof applications.
Constructed from the same soft-density material used in the blue center of the EasyShoe One, the Mesh Pad is designed to hold DIM (dental impression material) and pour-in pads in place while also providing valuable concussion dampening for horses that need additional comfort and protection.
Available in both a flat (0°) option and a 3° wedge option, the EasyShoe Mesh Pad can be easily trimmed to fit a variety of hoof shapes and sizes.
Securely Holds DIM and Pour-In Pads
One of the primary benefits of the EasyShoe Mesh Pad is its ability to create a stable foundation for DIM and pour-in pads such as HoofLox SoftPak. The mesh design helps keep packing material in place allowing HCPs to create consistent support across the solar surface.
Reduces Concussion and Vibration
Every stride generates impact forces that travel through the hoof and up the limb. The EasyShoe Mesh Pad acts as a cushion between the hoof and the ground, helping to reduce concussion and dampen vibration. This can help improve comfort during movement and reduce stress on tendons and ligaments.
For horses ridden frequently on rocky trails, packed dirt roads, or other firm surfaces, the added protection can make a noticeable difference in overall comfort and performance.
Excellent for Thin-Soled Horses
Thin-soled horses often struggle with sensitivity because they have less natural protection between the ground and the internal structures of the hoof.
Pair the EasyShoe Mesh Pad with DIM or SoftPak for horses experiencing discomfort on hard surfaces. The soft-density material of the EasyShoe Mesh Pad provides an additional layer of shock absorption for horses with sensitive or thin soles.
Added Comfort for Laminitic Horses
Laminitic horses frequently require enhanced sole support and protection from concussion. The Mesh Pad helps facilitate the use of supportive packing materials while simultaneously adding a layer of cushioning.
This combination can help distribute load more evenly across the hoof, reducing pressure on sensitive structures and promoting greater comfort during movement.
Beneficial for Navicular Cases
The EasyShoe Mesh Pad a valuable tool that helps keep DIM in place for horses needing comfort and support to the heels. Available in a 3 degree wedge option, the Mesh Pad can help relieve pressure on the navicular bone and reduce tension on the deep digital flexor tendon.
Flat and 3° Options
The EasyShoe Mesh Pad is available in two configurations:
Flat (0°): Ideal when sole support and cushioning are desired without altering hoof angles.
3° Wedge: Ideal when the heels need to be elevated, such as horses with navicular or underrun heels.
Easy to Customize
Available in two sizes, each Mesh Pad can be trimmed for a precise fit. This allows practitioners to accommodate a wide range of hoof shapes while minimizing excess material and maintaining a clean, professional application.
Whether you’re managing a performance horse on hard surfaces, supporting a horse with thin soles, or building a therapeutic package for navicular or laminitic cases, the EasyShoe Mesh Pad is a helpful tool for hoof care professionals to have in their toolbox.
