A horseshoe formed of a predetermined metallic material having a central arcuate portion, an arcuate right leg portion, and an arcuate left leg portion. The arcuate leg portions have a predetermined thickness of non-metallic shock absorbing material attached to their bottom surface. The shock absorbing material has a plurality of recessed portions in its bottom surface and nail hole apertures are located therein that pass through the shock absorbing material and also the metallic material of the horseshoe. The non-metallic shock absorbing material absorbs up to 70 percent of the shock received by the horse's foot while walking or running. One embodiment of the horseshoe has ceramic chips embedded in the bottom surface of the arcuate leg portions to help prevent slipping on ice or wet pavement.
