The Base Plate — Glue-On Hoof Protection Close to Barefoot
Many horse owners place great importance on using hoof protection that is as close to barefoot as possible. If a horse does not cope well barefoot for any reason, many people choose a hoof boot. However, if additional protection is also needed in the pasture, many have found a compromise and opt for bonded plastic horseshoes.
The Base Plate is a pure plastic horseshoe without nailing slots; it replaces the closed version of our well-known Classic plastic horseshoes.
The Base Plate in Winter
The Base Plate is currently only available in an extra-hard compound. For this reason, without additional anti-slip protection it is only suitable to a limited extent in winter, depending on temperature and ground conditions. For extra grip , the Base Plate can be fitted with Spikes at the user’s discretion.
Whether you are a farrier or a horse owner: to prevent injury to people and horses, we strongly recommend that you read and follow our safety instructions when using our products. When using bonded horseshoes, please also observe the instructions provided by the adhesive used and by the hot-air device required for the welding process.
