ABSTRACT:
A horseshoe conformed substantially to the U-shaped sole of the hoof and comprising a portion of an elastic friction material and a reinforcing insert of a flexible material, wherein the insert is narrower than the width of the U-shaped sole such that thrust, shock and shear loads are elastically absorbed by the portion. The portion comprises an upwardly open cavity which extends in the longitudinal direction of the portion and in which a separate element of a curable composite material is positioned, the composite material being caused to cure in situ only after the insert has been given its final shape.
