The polyhoof base material of the EasyWalker shoes closely resembles the natural hoof wall. The strong, durable, and highly elastic material will absorb impact and vibration with minimal interference of the complex bio-dynamics of the hoof capsule. The mini-heartbar offers great protection of the frog, while at the same time improves the blood circulation stimulating growth. Constant frog support can improve proprioception and thereby help the horse’s gaits. The anti-shock elements further eliminate concussion and vibration. Especially on hard surfaces like concrete or asphalt, the softer material offers safer traction than steel or aluminum shoes. The patented nail-slots provide maximum grip for the nail head, while the three preset nail holes provide for safe and consistent nailing. Every nail can be set perfectly into the white line. The patented, adjustable clips help to stabilize the foot, while greatly reducing forces on the nails, relieving excess stress in the hoof capsule. Despite its solid appearance, the hoof capsule is a surprisingly flexible structure. New research has shown that the palmar region of the hoof capsule can move up to one and a half inches in tight turns or to compensate for uneven terrain. Thanks to the flexible polyhoof material, EasyWalker will not compromise this vital function of the hoof capsule. The unique composite construction of the EasyWalker provides shock absorption that cannot be matched by any pad applied to a conventional shoe. The highly elastic, yet wear resistant anti-shock elements, in combination with the poly-hoof base material, provide over half an inch of dampening for the horse. |
