In this video, Felicitas introduces the Sure Foot pads to a young horse. This horse is very nervous and tense so she takes her time with him. Eventually she is able to get him to stand on the pads, and he puts himself in a position that he appears to prefer the wedge pads so she tries those. She stresses that much of it is being a little bit intuitive as to what the horse needs, and there is no written system.
