What differentiates us from other pads?

You certainly have a lot in common and would probably love to share a bed - but your horse can weigh many times more than you, its hoof shape is not the same as your foot shape and it has a completely different anatomy than you. So instead of putting your darling on human pads, you can use a species-appropriate pad to eliminate any risks.

So we made it our mission to develop a balance pad that is specifically designed for your horse.

Have you ever had the experience that many pads tear very quickly under the heavy weight of the horse or because of shod hooves? If not, we would like to spare you this annoying experience.

Our balance pad is robust and we give you a 100% satisfaction guarantee.

Even with horseshoes, high horse weights and demanding training conditions, our pad works reliably even after repeated use.

No, definitely not - because your shoes are naturally shaped like your feet, an elongated oval. You may even train your balance regularly - on oval balance pads!

However, your horse's hooves are rather round, so the round shape of our pad is absolutely crucial. It allows even pressure distribution and makes it easier for you to position the hooves - it's more ergonomic and comfortable !

Conventional pads are often sent without any instructions or with exercises for human use.

But only with horse-specific instructions you can train in a targeted and safe manner - our enclosed instructions give you useful hints for horse training!

Pads used in humans are often extremely soft because they are designed for our low body weight. It is not advisable to use these in horse training because it represents a too big challenge for the horse. Horses with balance deficits in particular cannot overcome this obstacle and as a result often refuse further training attempts. Instead of immediately confronting your horse with the highest obstacle without preparation and experience, you should approach it more gently and build it up step by step .

Our balance pad has a degree of hardness that is optimally balanced and is suitable for every horse, regardless of its level of training. The complexity of the training can also be increased by other measures.

There are studies that show that horses react sensitively to certain colors. Blue, for example, is a color that horses can perceive very well.

During the development phase, we tried out many colors. With our neutral gray, we found that the horses accepted the balance pad very well.

With our pads you use one pad per hoof and they always come in sets of two - this is easy to implement and has a significant advantage over some other pads: if your horse has developed into a balance master and needs other challenges, you can easily start with so-called "cross combinations", for example front left and back right - with many other pads, this is not possible.

In addition to the perfectly designed functionality, it was also important to us to develop an aesthetic product. So we set ourselves the goal of considering your needs and those of your horse equally and it makes us so happy every time customers praise the unique design of our NØRSHOLM EQUESTRIAN® pads.

We are Lisa & Morten and with us you are not just a customer, but become part of our Nørsholm family. Whether you have a question or need some support with your training, we are always available and happy to help you.
