ABSTRACT A horseshoe (1) conformed substantially to the U-shaped sole of the hoof and having a reinforcing insert (16) of a flexible and, alternatively, partially curable material and a portion (17) which encloses said insert (16) and is made of an elastic friction material. The insert (16) is narrower than the width of the U-shaped sole such that thrust, shock and shear loads generated as the horse moves at a walking, trotting or galloping pace are elastically absorbed by the portion (17) en- closing said insert. The insert (16) comprises four surfaces extending along the entire shoe, at least three of which, the lower, the outer and the inner one (9), are provided with longitudinal grooves (10, 11, 18), the lower groove (18) preferably having a tapering cross- section to receive and guide the tapered nails for at- taching the shoe, and the grooves (10, 11) in the outer and inner surfaces (9) serving on the one hand to increase the total surface area of the insert and make the vulcani- sation surface thereof larger and, on the other hand, to make the finished shoe more easily adjustable.
