For over 25 years, Ground Control Horseshoes have been the perfect urethane horseshoe for trail riders, endurance racers, buggy drivers, mounted patrol, parade riders, and just about any horse that can benefit from better traction and shock absorption. Although designed to be a road and trail shoe, users have had excellent results as a therapeutic shoe. From arthritic horses, foundered horses, coffin bone injured horses, navicular and stone bruised hooves, Ground Control has made a difference. A rolled toe prevents toe stubbing to ease break over to provide a horse with improved movement. The recessed nail channel provides multiple nailing options yet keeps the nail head from contacting the ground. A recessed frog support protects the soft tissue from sharp rocks and stimulates the frog on impact, increasing circulation. Open areas allow the sole to breathe while also providing easy access for cleaning with a hoof pick. One unique shape fits both front (Round) or hind (oval) shaped hooves. Simply use hoof nippers to remove excess urethane for a custom fit. Sizes available are 000-2 and they come in colors: Black, Clear, Turquoise, Pink, and Lavender. Farriers can nail these shoes on just like metal ones. E-head nails recommended. Visit groundcontrolhorseshoes.americommerce.com for more information. |
