Abstract

The present invention concerns a pad-like support device (1) intended to be attached between a horse's hoof (2) and a horseshoe (3) comprised of at least one first side part (6), at least one second side part (7), at least one middle part (8) and a support section (9) for the frog, and at least one first flexible zone (10) and at least one second flexible zone (11) extending essentially along the pad-like support device's longitudinal direction. This design allows for the support section (9) and the middle part (8) to be flexibly arranged in the horizontal and vertical directions relative to the first side part (6) and the second side part (7). The first side part (6) and the second side part (7) include at least one first material layer (29) constituting a surface layer on the topside of the side parts (6, 7) and at least one second material layer (30) constituting a surface layer on the bottom side of the side parts (6, 7) and at least one intermediate material layer (31) positioned between the first material layer (29) and the second material layer (30) of a relatively softer material than the material of the first material layer (29) and the second material layer (30). Material layer (31) is partitioned into at least two sections (34) by at least one intermediate wall (35) that stretches between the first material layer (29) and the second material layer (30).
