The traditional horseshoe not only has a far higher weight, but offers no flexibility or shock absorption, thus transferring the shock of every step through the horses hoof and leg. Even in young horses this can cause problems. ThoroFlex synthetic horsehoes provide many benefits with a more natural feel for the horse.

The benefits include:

• Provides a light weight alternative to conventional and specialist shoes (weight similar to aluminium racing plates).
• Provides cushioning, to prevent concussion and other injury to tendons and joints, from impact and jarring.
• Protects the hoof while allowing it to flex naturally.
• Allows improvement in circulation to the hoof and leg.
• Beneficial to horses with pre-existing arthritis, laminitis, navicular disease, tendinitis, corns and other concussion related injuries.
• May prevent development of these conditions (as above).
• Provides grip for security and sure footedness.
• Excellent for use on any surface.
• Helps prevent injury from kicks to horses and people.
• Constructed using state of the art techniques, the resin based urethane compound provides excellent durability (similar to steel shoe).
• The bridge offers unobtrusive protection to the frog of the hoof.
• May be reused
