GOODSMITH IN SPORT & LEISURE
YOUR DISCIPLINE.
YOUR HOOF PROTECTION.
Every discipline brings its own demands.
Your hoof protection should support them.
Jumping
Maximum performance at the decisive moment.
In the show jumping course, millisecond precision decides between victory and error. Whether in the powerful push-off before the oxer or catching the landing after a vertical-vertical combination – the load on the horse's hoof is enormous. Rigid systems often block exactly where flexibility for balance and grip would be needed.
Our hoof protection is designed to support the hoof's natural shock absorption rather than switching it off through a rigid corset. This relieves tendons and joints on every landing, while the hoof simultaneously retains the stability it needs for peak performance.
We give your horse the hold it needs in sport and the freedom the hoof demands for its health.
Dressage
Permeability requires a free foundation.
Dressage is the work with positive tension. For this energy to flow from the hindquarters through the swinging back into the hand, the functional chain must not be blocked at any point. The hoof is more than just the base here.
Our systems allow the hoof its natural vertical and horizontal deformability. The result is an honest, physiologically correct break-over and unhindered shock absorption - true to rhythm, full of swing and healthy in the long run.
Leisure
As close to nature as possible. As protected as necessary.
Gravel paths, deep forest floor or asphalt – real leisure riding thrives on variety. But it's precisely this change that challenges the hoof.
Goodsmith offers your horse a natural barefoot feel with the decisive plus of protection. Hoof protection that lets the hoof work the way nature intended. So you can keep a clear head for what really matters.
Western
Natural balance for every manoeuvre.
Fast spins, pinpoint changes of pace and the stamina for long trails - in western riding the hoof is exposed to extreme shear forces.
Our systems are so light and flexible that they don't manipulate natural movement but safeguard it. A protection that doesn't feel like a foreign object, but supports your horse's agility.
Versatility
Three disciplines. One physiological answer.
Eventing demands everything from the horse's hoof. Goodsmith works in sync with your horse's biomechanics: our systems offer the stability needed for high jumps and at the same time are flexible enough not to restrict the natural hoof mechanism.
For us, performance is no contradiction to health, but the result of hoof protection that works with the horse - at every pace, on every footing and in every phase.
Working Equitation
Precision on the trail.
Reaction at speed.
Working Equitation demands an exceptional range from the horse's hoof. In a discipline that requires millimetre-precise work and rapid responsiveness, the hoof is the most important sensory organ between horse and ground.
Our systems stabilise the hoof without restricting its natural sensitivity – a decisive advantage for balance in tight turns and abrupt changes of pace.
Endurance
To finish is to win.
Protection that goes the distance.
In endurance riding, the hoof is the interface between stamina and wear. Over 40, 80 or 160 kilometres, every step counts.
Goodsmith offers the protection of a shoe with minimal added weight. Our systems support the natural shock absorption of the hoof and preserve performance all the way to the finish line.
Driving
Powerful in the pull.
Secure on any ground.
Whether in fast-paced obstacle driving or the cross-country marathon - carriage driving means maximum power transmission under constantly changing conditions.
Goodsmith offers a solution that combines grip, stability and shock absorption. For maximum safety, the system can be upgraded with studs without effort.
