ABSTRACT:
A horseshoe assembly adapted to accomodate a substantially whole part of a hoof of a leg is disclosed which includes a body made of elastomeric material of a configuration which corresponds to the bottom of the hoof, an inclined side wall portion molded integrally with the body of such a geometrical configuration as to snugly receive the hoof therein through its rear opened part from behind and a band to be bridged between both the rear end parts of the inclined side wall portion. The inclined side wall portion includes projections at the rear end parts on the side walls which are inserted through corresponding holes formed at both the end parts of the band. The band is engaged to the leg of a horse at the position located above the spherical raised portion on the lower rear part of the leg. The body has a lattice-shaped antiskid tread formed on the upper surface thereof and further includes a raised portion along the substantially U-shaped cutout which is projected upwardly at a certain inclination angle into a cavity in the bottom of the hoof. Thus, the horseshoe assembly can be tightly fitted onto the hoof of the horse without any necessity for nails or the like.
