Equestrian Training Pad (Balance & Stability)

Often referred to as Balance Pads, these foam tools are essential for groundwork to improve a horse's proprioception and physical awareness.

• High-Density EVA Foam: Professional-grade, closed-cell foam that supports 1,000+ lbs without bottoming out.
• Varying Densities: Available in multiple "give" levels to challenge the horse's core stability and micro-muscles.
• Non-Slip Surface: Textured top-grip ensures the hoof remains stable during neurological adjustments.
• Hygienic and Portable: Waterproof material that is easy to wipe down and light enough to carry between the stall and the arena.

Equine Stability Frequently Asked Questions

Can I just use a human yoga or balance block?
No. Human-grade foam is not designed to withstand equine weight. It can compress too quickly, causing the horse to lose balance or trip, potentially leading to injury.

How long should my horse stand on them?
For beginners, we recommend starting with 1–2 minutes per hoof. Observe your horse's comfort level and gradually increase time as they build core strength.

What signs of "processing" should I look for?
Watch for licking, chewing, yawning, or a deep sigh. These are positive indicators that the horse is relaxing and processing the neuromuscular feedback.

Saddle Pad Frequently Asked Questions

Does this pad fix a poorly fitting saddle?
A pad is designed to enhance comfort and minor fit adjustments; however, it cannot fix a saddle with a fundamentally incorrect tree size. Always consult a professional saddle fitter.

How do I wash this without it shrinking?
We recommend a cool-water wash on a gentle cycle with specialized wool/fleece detergent. Always air dry; never use a tumble dryer as it can damage the internal foams.
