ABSTRACT:
A horseshoe support system supports a horseshoe on the bottom of a horse hoof by attachment of the horseshoe to the side of the hoof. The horseshoe has an upper surface engageable with the bottom of the hoof and an arrangement of a plurality of peripheral connectors spaced around the horseshoe. The horseshoe support system comprises a plurality of separate anchor pads, each having an inner face adapted to be adhesively secured at a selected position to the side of the hoof. Each anchor pad further has an outer connector, to provide an arrangement of anchor pad connectors around the side of the hoof adjacent to the arrangement of horseshoe connectors. Each anchor pad connector is positioned for connection to at least one horseshoe connector. The horseshoe support system further has a plurality of separate intermediate links, including at least on of said intermediate links for each anchor pad, each operable for connecting a horseshoe connector to an anchor pad, to support the horseshoe on the bottom of the hoof. The plurality of separate intermediate links are operable to hold the horseshoe against the bottom of the hoof and are selectively detachable from at least some of the connectors for removing the horseshoe from the hoof without removing the anchor pads from the hoof.
