ABSTRACT:
A shock-absorbing, cushioned horseshoe that substantially absorbs the shock encountered by a horse's hooves and legs when the horse is running or jumping. The cushioned horseshoe is defined by a mounting plate which is adapted with a plurality of interlocking channel members, wherein one of the channel members includes a plurality of longitudinal locking rib members, whereby a nail may be driven through the horseshoe to engage each locking rib member so as to prevent the nail from being inadvertently loosened after the nail has been driven into the hoof of a horse. Fixedly attached to the mounting plate is a ground-engaging sole member that includes openings which are aligned with the holes which are formed in the mounting plate. The sole member consists of a non-slip, wear resistant, resilient material that is adapted for direct engagement with the ground surface. The resilient material is molded to the lower surface of the mounting plate and is received in each of the channel members, whereby the resilient material becomes fixedly secured to the lower surface of the mounting plate during the molding process to prevent separation therefrom.
