ABSTRACT:
A hoof covering for horses comprises a horseshoe-shaped plastic body made integrally of wear-resistant plastic material and having a generally acute-angled cross section. The plastic body has a lower side with a substantially planar tread surface and a planar upper surface which serves as a support for a hoof of a horse, and an upwardly extending side in the form of a side wall capable of being bent into the desired shape for mounting the hoof covering on the hoof by adhesive means. The lower side of the plastic body defines a horseshoe-shaped groove opening into the substantially planar tread surface. A horseshoe-shaped steel yoke is retained in the groove and has a plurality of spaced-apart steel calks which project through the horseshoe-shaped groove and beyond the tread surface of the plastic body. This groove is in the cross-sectional region of its opening slightly narrower than the steel yoke. Screwable connection elements may be provided between the steel yoke and the calks.
