A spider bar pad from Italian pad maker DePlano, moulded from a hard synthetic plastic. Like the leather spider pads in the range, it is designed to give local protection and support to the additional weight-bearing structures of the foot, with the frog plate and radiating branches leaving the bulk of the sole open. The rigid synthetic construction centralises load and adds stability to the hoof capsule, provides frog support, protects the foot from hard ground surfaces and reduces sinking on soft going. Best fitted with impression material packed beneath the pad so the frog and sole are loaded evenly and comfortably. Available in three sizes measured at the widest point: size 0 (125 mm), size 1 (135 mm) and size 2 (145 mm) - a smaller size run than the leather spider pads, useful for ponies and smaller feet. Leather spider pads in flat and wedge patterns are also available in the Deplano range.
Hard synthetic plastic spider bar pad giving frog support and targeted protection. Centralises load and stabilises the hoof capsule. Sizes 0-2 (125-145 mm).
