ABSTRACT:
The horseshoe assembly of the present invention comprises a base shoe which is detachably secured to the bottom surface of the horse's hoof. A strap is attached at its opposite ends to the opposite sides of the base shoe and extends over the front upper surface of the horse's hoof to detachably secure the base shoe to the bottom of the horse's hoof. Small screws extend through the base shoe and into the hoof wall of the horse's hoof, but these screws do not extend into the white line of the horse's hoof as with conventional horseshoe nails. A second shoe, pad, or plate may be detachably secured to the undersurface of the base shoe. Different types of pads, shoes and plates can be attached to the bottom surface of the base shoe for particular purposes, and can be removed without requiring the removal of the base shoe. One modification of the invention comprises attaching a leg brace to the bottom surface of the base shoe, the leg brace having upwardly extending arms for attaching and supporting the horse's leg.
