Jim Blurton 3D Full Mesh Hoof Pad

Full Mesh FM Hoof Pad – Flat

Full mesh hoof pad designed to provide maximum sole protection and support, particularly for thin-soled horses and horses working or turned out on hard, stony ground.

The Full Mesh FM Hoof Pad features an added mesh construction designed to provide increased protection across the underside of the hoof.

Suitable for use with dental impression material (DIM) or lightweight hoof packing such as Glue-U Shufill, the mesh helps retain and stabilise the packing material while providing comprehensive protection to the sole.

The Full Mesh FM Pad is available in flat sizes 4–7 and is supplied in pairs.

Maximum Sole Protection

The full mesh design provides extensive coverage across the bottom of the hoof, making this pad particularly useful for horses requiring additional protection from hard, uneven or stony surfaces.

It is an excellent option for:

• Thin-soled horses
• Horses turned out on stony or abrasive ground
• Horses ridden over hard or rocky terrain
• Horses requiring additional sole protection
• Selected horses with sensitive heels
• Hooves requiring packing or impression material

Designed for Use with Hoof Packing

The Full Mesh FM Pad is designed to be used in conjunction with an appropriate supportive material such as:

• Dental Impression Material (DIM)
• Glue-U Shufill
• Other suitable lightweight hoof packing materials

The mesh structure assists in retaining the packing material beneath the hoof, allowing the farrier to create an appropriate supportive interface between the hoof, packing and pad.

Frog & Heel Support

When peripheral loading places excessive pressure through the hoof wall, the frog may receive inadequate support, potentially contributing to discomfort around the heel area in some horses.

When appropriately fitted with impression material or hoof packing, the Full Mesh FM Pad allows the farrier to provide additional support beneath the hoof, including the frog and caudal hoof structures, according to the individual horse's requirements.

This may be particularly useful as part of a professional shoeing strategy for horses prone to sore or sensitive heels.

Full Mesh Construction

Unlike pads with limited mesh sections, the full mesh design provides maximum coverage.

This makes it particularly suitable where the farrier wants to combine:

• Full sole protection
• Hoof packing
• Frog and sole support
• Protection from stones and hard ground

Available Sizes

The Full Mesh FM Pad is available in:

• FM Pad 4 – Flat
• FM Pad 5 – Flat
• FM Pad 6 – Flat
• FM Pad 7 – Flat

Protection for Thin & Sensitive Soles

The Full Mesh FM Hoof Pad provides comprehensive protection across the underside of the hoof and, when combined with suitable impression or packing material, gives the farrier a versatile option for supporting and protecting thin-soled or sensitive-footed horses.

Hoof pads and packing materials should be selected and fitted by an experienced farrier or suitably qualified hoof-care professional. Persistent heel pain, corns, sole sensitivity or lameness should be appropriately investigated.
