Out West, Delta carries a green pad they call an "Impact Pad". I looked on 
their website, and all they list there are the shocktamers, but they do 
carry the pad I use, as I had to run over there once when my shoer was her 
and did not have the size we needed.  It has a hole in the middle to let out 
sand and small rocks.

That is what I have used in the past. One thing I would avoid, are the pads 
with the built in wedge to elevate the heel. That kind of pad has caused me 
problems in the past.


Another option your friend may want to consider for this horse is to boot 
over his shoes for the hard surfaces. Funny thing is, when I went to the 
Delta site, I found they have a new boot out called, amazingly enough, "The 
Delta Boot"...They look interesting to say the least! They certainly have 
some cool features. Given that my 4 yr old will stay barefoot as long as 
possible to let his feet develop, I may have to try these:
