ABSTRACT:
A flexible, resilient wedge pad for hooved animals, particularly the horse, comprising a semicircular toe portion used in connection with a semicircular half-shoe to attach the pad to the forward rim or toe of the hoof and a heel portion that extends linearly between the quarters and bars of the hoof, covering the frog, and terminating behind the heel, directly below the rearmost part of the heel bulbs. The wedge pad increases in thickness from toe to heel, with the heel being thick enough to elevate the quarters, bars and bulbs and prevent contact thereto with the ground. Groundstriking forces are cushioned and placed upon the frog.
