ABSTRACT:
A lightweight horseshoe particularly suitable for competitive events requiring high maneuverability, the horseshoe including a body having a plurality of sharp ribs extending from the shoe ground engaging face. Four ribs are employed across the shoe body width, the front rib constituting a deeper penetrating grab. The ribs are configured to be self-cleaning, and the shoe includes homogeneous reinforcing bars to resist outward shoe deformation under lateral stress. The reinforcing bars intersect the shoe outer and inner sides, and clearance slots formed in the shoe outer side adjacent the reinforcing bars facilitates the self-cleaning of the shoe adjacent the bars.
