ABSTRACT:
A horseshoe including an arcuate elastomeric shoe body having an upper hoof engaging surface and a lower surface. The upper surface is generally flat and has an arcuate force-bearing recess along the internal periphery disposed to receive a trimmed ridge of the keratinous portion of a hoof. The shoe is thermofit to the animal hoof in order to conform the shoe to the irregularities of the hoof. Upwardly extending tabs from the shoe body contact the outer side wall of the hoof and a quick setting adhesive is applied to the tabs. A non-setting adhesive is applied to the force-bearing recess and the upper surface of the shoe body. The non-setting adhesive is also applied to a sole protective flange which extends inwardly from the shoe body. A tough wear member, resembling an iron horseshoe may be adhered to the elastomeric shoe body.
