They are made of the same material as the Firm Pad but cut on an angle.It is recommended that you use the Slants colored side up for greater stability.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFirm Slants will “give” more under the horse’s weight than Hard Slants. This is beneficial to many horses because the Firm Slants also yield laterally (side-to-side), similar to Firm Pads, depending on where the hoof is along the slant thickness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlthough horses seem to prefer Firm Slants positioned heel-high, they can be used in any direction – heel-high, heel-low, or side-high (i.e. laterally) – and under any hooves, front or hind.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFirm Slants are ideal for:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHorses that are comfortable with the concept of SURE FOOT Pads\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConfident, well-balanced horses ready to progress to a more challenging surface\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEncouraging horses to engage their core muscles to help improve overall stability\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProviding comfort to horses with laminitis, arthritis, stringhalt, stifle, or hoof issues, or those rehabilitating from shoulder or pelvic injury\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFirm Slants can be combined with other Pads to stack two or, in some instances, even three Pads high. Typically, the Firm Slant is used as the top layer. Stacking allows the person to offer the horse an experience that matches the different habit patterns of the body. Do not force a horse to stand on stacked Pads. Be aware that stacked Pads may slip as the horse steps off or the Pads may slide. This may cause additional wear and tear on the Pads. However, stacking is worthwhile because it allows the horse to experience a difference in limb length, which can be especially helpful in establishing more normal, balanced posture and movement. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFirm Slants are packaged as a pair.
