ABOUT THE PRODUCT
The easywalker is the most advanced synthetic horseshoe on the market today. Over 5 years of research and development in Europe led to its unique composite construction. Two ultra high grade polymer compounds lead easywalker past its competition. Unsurpassed shock absorption, superior traction and improved protection combined with the best wear resistance of any synthetic horseshoe on the market make easywalker the ultimate choice for any performance horse.
Athletic performance without modern synthetic materials is virtually impossible. From special running shoes, to breathable fabrics and protective gear – advances materials help the athlete to push the limits, set new records and redefine ‘impossible’. High grade polymer composites lead the way in increasing performance, while decreasing the risk of injuries and help to achieve the unachievable. No doubt – easywalker is the sports shoe for horses.
a) Shock Absorption
The unique composite construction of the Easywalker provides shock absorption that cannot be matched by any pad applied to a conventional shoe.
b) Weight
The centrifugal forces working on the horses musculoskeletal system at a gallop are immense. A few extra ounces will translate into several pounds of additional stress on the muscles, tendons and bones. The easywalker special polymer weighs only one third of a conventional steel shoe.
c) Durability
The special polymer compound, which closely resembles a healthy natural hoof wall, is extremely durable. In an independent test conducted for one of the largest European Equine Publications – German TUV (the world’s largest independent testing agency) showed easywalker the best wear resistance of any synthetic horseshoe on the market.
d) Flexibility
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 inch in tight turns or to compensate for uneven terrain.
While correct shoeing techniques already compensate for the horizontal expansion of the hoof capsule in the loading phase, steel or aluminum shoes will completely eliminate the vertical compensatory function of the hoof capsule. Any rigid structure will force the pastern joint to flex, exposing the musculoskeletal system of the lower limb to lateral tension, for which it is not designed. Thanks to flexible polymer material, easywalker will not compromise this vital function of the hoof capsule.
The images above show six key elements of the easywalker line of horseshoes.
These elements make easywalker the natural choice for your horse.
1 - The special polymer material closely resembles the natural hoof-wall. The strong and durable, yet highly elastic material will absorb impact and vibration with minimal interference of the complex bio-dynamics of the hoof capsule.
2 - 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.
3 - The anti-shock elements further eliminate shock and vibration, especially on hard surfaces like concrete or asphalt. The easywalker dampens shock and vibration as opposed to metal shoes, which tremendously increase shock and vibration.
4 - The patented nail holes provide maximum grip for the nail head, while the three pre-set nail slots provide for safe and consistent nailing. Every nail can be set perfectly into the white line.
5 - The patented adjustable clips reduce shearing forces on the nails and help to stabilize the foot, which relieves excess stress in the hoof capsule.
6 - Integrated Plate where full sole protection is required or can be used for medical applications.
