HORSESHOE

摘要

A horseshoe having holes (2) for horseshoe nails (6) extending therethrough and including a resilient material (4). Washers (5) are embedded in the resilient material (4) and horseshoe nails (6) extend through the washers and the holes when the horseshoe is fastened to a horse's hoof. A portion of the horseshoe adapted to bear on the hoof comprises a plate (3) against which the resilient material (4) adheres. The washers (5) abut the plate (3) and are horizontally movable relative thereto, and the holes (2) in the plate (3) have a larger cross section than the nail (6), such that the nail is capable of moving horizontally together with the washers (5) at loading of the horse's hoof.
