Hoof pads are a type of protective material used in farriery to cushion and protect a horse’s hoof. They are typically made of various synthetic or natural materials, such as rubber, leather or felt, and are placed between the horse’s hoof and the horseshoe. 

Hoof pads can serve a variety of purposes, depending on the specific needs of the horse. They can help to provide additional support and shock absorption, especially for horses with sensitive or injured hooves. They can also help to prevent or alleviate certain hoof conditions, such as bruising, thrush or laminitis.

• Hoof packing: Hoof packing is a material that is applied to the horse’s hoof to provide additional support and relieve pressure. It is typically used for horses with bruises, abscesses or other injuries. 
• Poultices: Poultices are a mixture of clay, Epsom salt and other ingredients that are applied to the horse’s hoof to draw out infection or inflammation. They are often used to treat abscesses or other hoof infections. 
• Topical treatments: Topical hoof care treatments such as antifungal or antibacterial creams can be applied to the horse's hooves to treat infections or other issues. For example, thrush buster and hoof hygiene are popular products to treat the common hoof infection, thrush. 
• Hoof supplements: There are a range of hoof supplements on the market each containing a slightly different variety of ingredients. Popular ingredients contained in hoof supplements include biotin, zinc, iron, vitamin E, vitamin A, vitamin C and iodine. It is important to assess the diet that your horse is currently on and the nutrients they are currently consuming. From here you can therefore assess what your horse is getting too much/not enough of and you are able to change feed or add supplements as necessary. Consulting with an equine nutritionist or your veterinarian can assist you with this process.
