Deplano Flat Leather Spider Pads

A flat leather spider pad from Italian pad maker DePlano, designed to give local protection and support to the additional weight-bearing structures of the foot. The spider shape covers the frog and radiates across the sole rather than sealing the whole foot, leaving most of the sole exposed to the air. The pad centralises load and brings stability to the hoof capsule, provides frog support, offers protection from hard ground surfaces and reduces sinking on soft going - all without altering hoof angles, since the pad is flat. A sound choice where frog engagement and targeted protection are wanted at the horse's existing palmar angle. Works well with impression material packed under the spider. Available in three sizes: size 4 (165 x 147 mm), size 5 (177 x 156 mm) and size 6 (190 x 170 mm). A wedged version of the same leather spider pad is also available, along with the synthetic Spider Bar pad.

Flat leather spider pad giving frog support and targeted protection while leaving most of the sole open. Centralises load without changing hoof angles. Sizes 4-6.
