This original design Half Mesh Pad available in flat and 3 Degree (the 3 degree has a corresponding 3 degree recess for a prolapsed frog built into the pad) The round design of this pad is based around the thoroughbred racehorse and will fit most race plates perfectly with little alterations necessary.
