Jim Blurton 3D 3 Degree Wedge Pads are high-performance half mesh hoofcare pads designed by Derek Poupard and Jim Blurton to support the frog and prevent it reaching the ground surface, keeping the hoof functioning correctly on hard going. The 3 degree wedge makes them well suited to horses needing bony column support - such as laminitic cases - by letting the frog share a portion of the load and reducing the strain placed on other areas of the hoof. The pads are intended for use with a high-grade impression material (such as EDSS/TFP soft blue, medium pink or firm yellow) packed into the rear half of the pad, which prevents the frog and hoof capsule being over-extended and helps avoid sore heels or corns. Manufactured from recyclable, antimicrobial material. Available in four sizes, measured across the widest point of the pad: size 3 = 135mm, size 4 = 145mm, size 5 = 155mm, size 6 = 170mm. A flat version is also made in the same half mesh pattern.
