Description
Ground Control Horseshoes in CLEAR is a transparent shoe that is easily applied by a farrier since the hoof can be seen through the shoe. It is our most popular selling color. The material is still the same hardness and durability as the black color option, but the black color is not added.
The polyurethane material is similar to what skate board wheels are made of. It is durable, gets superior traction on hard surfaces, and yet is still flexible to allow for hoof expansion. The average length of time that the shoes will last for pleasure and show horses is about 12 weeks, and two shoeing periods. The shoes can usually be reset for a second use after 5 or 6 weeks. The shoes will last about 6 weeks for horses that get heavy use on hard surfaces: horses that trot on the road several days per week as in an Amish buggy horse, or an endurance horse running/training for 50 – 100 mile races.
