ABSTRACT The invention is a therapeutic horseshoe including an impact frame for supporting a horse's foot and a cushioned insert for nesting into an insert depression formed in the upper surface of the impact frame such that the insert provides force absorption and kinetic energy return to a ringlike portion of the sole of the foot. The lower surface of the impact frame preferably includes a front slope and a rear slope which improve shock impact and step characteristics in the foot and are important in specifically preventing and alleviating symptoms of laminitis and navicular disease in horses. An alternate toe-in, toe-out shoe is adapted for correction of unbalanced hoof conditions. The therapeutic horseshoe and the toe-in, toe-out shoe are ideal for use by horse professionals such as farriers, veterinarians and trainers. The shoes are also usable on healthy horses as a preventive measure against causes of lameness and as a racing speed enhancement.
