The next best thing to being barefoot!

  click to enlarge picture

A recently published scientific paper* indicated that shoes made from plastic most closely mimicked the natural wear and shock absorption characteristics of hoof horn.  The winning combination of PollySteelฎ technology and Natural Balance design provides the flexibility for natural foot function yet still offers the protection and durability of conventional metal shoes.

 

         Offers a lightweight and durable alternative to conventional horseshoes.

         Apply with conventional nails of glue on with a shoe adhesive compound.

         Sizing adjustments can be easily done with the patented Dual Bridge System.

         The Dual Bridge provides support and rigidity necessary for proper foot function.

         Provide an ease of breakover and caudal support for horses suffering with arthritis and navicular intersection pain.

         Promotes a heel first landing and alignment of the distal phalanges during load through caudal support and an optimal point of breakover.

         Through the precise location of the roll at the toe of the shoe, the point of breakover can be optimally placed relitive to the tip of the coffin bone while still maintaining  a proper orientation to the hoof wall.

         The steep inner walls of the shoe and the bridge across the caudal part of the foot allow dirt to pack in the back half of the foot and provide support through the center of the bone column.

         For Horses that primarily live in stables. The PSNBS offers a more natural support , yet  provides adequate protection when they are taken out on different terrains.
