Accessories for Composite Horseshoes
For ideal hoof protection, sometimes not only the perfect shoeing is necessary but also the right accessories. In the following films, we would like to introduce some of our accessories to you.
In the video, we demonstrate the assembly and use of our welding device for stable plastic welding seams between your glue-on tabs and the baseplate.
Sometimes, a farrier needs to be creative to find the best solution for the horse. In our film, Sandy Frank demonstrates a unique combination: a half-nailed and half-glued wedge shoe to adjust the hoof angle.
To protect the threaded inserts from excessive dirt until the application of the studs, we recommend using closing plugs. In the video, we demonstrate how to remove the closure plugs and replace them with studs.
In this video, we present our closure plugs.
Our closing plugs are suitable for both our threaded composite shoes as well as traditional steel
shoes. They seal the stud hole, protecting it from dirt.
Colored accents or minimal extensions of the plastic or composite horseshoe — our color strips are suitable for both purposes.
Our extensions are suitable to customize the length or width of the synthetic coating of our horseshoes.
The Hoof Sole Protector is our custom-fit solution if you want to seal the sole area in the horseshoe.
Accessories for Steel Shoes
Since the world is never entirely black or white, and as developers of composite horseshoes, we understand the importance of traditional horseshoes. That's why we also offer appropriate accessories for traditional steel shoes in our product range.
The Protective Insoles (PINs) are shock-absorbing insoles for horseshoes with integrated frog support and our well-known debris guard.
