The focus is on the well-being of the horse

Every horse owner is familiar with the challenges: lameness, sensitive or broken hooves, laminitis, or the demands of a natural open-stall stable. Conventional horseshoes are often not only criticized but sometimes even exacerbate these problems. But there is a solution that is becoming increasingly popular with riders: adhesive plastic horseshoes.

“Why conventional horseshoes often fail.”

Metal horseshoes place strain on the hoof mechanism because they are rigid and restrict the hoof's natural movement. Sensitive horses, in particular, suffer from the constant strain caused by the weight and rigid materials. This can lead to chronic problems such as lameness or deterioration of hoof health.

Adhesive horseshoes are the solution here: They adapt flexibly to the hoof's movement, distribute pressure evenly, and promote the hoof's natural function – an innovation that has been proven to result in healthier and more productive horses."

  • Gentle on the hoof: No nailing necessary, which protects the hoof wall.
  • Adaptable: Ideal solution for sensitive, convalescent or diseased hooves.
  • Durable and robust: Withstands even intensive use – from the paddock to the field.
