Michael Puhl "Wedge Pads" (small & large)

The PM Hoof Pad Wedge offers, like any wedge-shaped pad, the opportunity to correct the hoof-pastern-axis. In addition, it is a well-proven technique to regenerate heels and improve leg balance

In application of this technique, the heels are trimmed just so much that tting in the PM Hoof Pad Wedge does not alter the correct hoof-pastern-axis

This extends the heels’ bearing surface greatly and distributes the specic pressure at the heels on a larger area. Thus the heels grow again healthily; the toe will remain at the correct angle throughout the shoeing interval. Furthermore, the leg balance improves, because the enlargement shifts the hoof’s bearing surface closer to the limb’s weight bearing axis
