Mustad

Anyone used use or heard of Mustad pads?

No, what are they...?

Honestly, I am not sure

Vet was out today reviewing Tyler and his progress. He has managed to lose the silcone in both front hooves (fortunately over yesterday and this morning so he wasn't without the for long). He was 1/10ths lame (better than his previous 3-4/10ths)

Decision was made to keep him on box rest for four weeks as fields very wet and not helping the silicone stay on. He can be turned out in a dry indoor school which is fine as I am stabled just behind the indoor

Vet is going to phone my farrier and ask him about Mustad Pads (think that is how you spell it). They go in between the shoe and the hoof I think. Although she thinks the farrier may prefer to stick with silicone.

I did a quick Google

Mustad appears to be a manufacturer/supplier of horse shoeing stuff (technical term lol).

mustad pads are hospital pads.. like any other hospital pad.

They are places between the clean sole and the shoe and are nailed onto the foot in the same way as a shoe..

Quite possible your farrier will say to use both a silicone filler and the hospital pads.. i cant say as i dont know what condition is being fitted...

Thanks for that info

Tyler has very flat pedal dones and vet advised natural balane with silicone, but she sid she was going to discuss mustads as silicone keeps faling out.

Some sidebone there as well, but insignificant and her main concern is the pedal bone.

Yes, that being the case i would say that the farrier would use the natural balence as it has a broader web with a natural wear pattern on it.

Then i would say he would use soleguard cs which is an antifungal/basterial silicone sole support and then the hospital pads!

Good luck hunnie!
