1. A method for mounting a horseshoe assembly, wherein the horseshoe assembly being directly mounted beneath a surface of a horse hoof, the horseshoe assembly comprises at least a core and a sole, wherein the sole overlays or encapsulates the core, the method comprising:
securing a cover plate over the horse hoof, wherein the cover plate comprises a plurality of anchor points distributed across the cover plate; disposing the horseshoe assembly beneath the horse hoof with the core directly contacting a bottom surface of the horse hoof; and
utilizing one or more tying elements, securing the horseshoe assembly to the bottom surface of the horse hoof through a binding force which presses the core and optionally the sole against the bottom surface of the horse hoof, wherein the pressing of the core and optionally the sole against the bottom surface of the horse hoof eliminates use of any nails to secure the horseshoe assembly to the bottom surface of the horse hoof; andwherein the one or more tying elements are utilized to secure the horseshoe assembly to the bottom surface of the horse hoof, the step of utilizing the one or more tying elements comprises one or a combination of:
using a single lace to thread through a plurality of respective openings of a respective plurality of elevated side cups along an outer edge of the core to the plurality of anchor points which are distributed across the cover plate;using a plurality of laces to thread through the plurality of respective openings of the respective plurality of elevated side cups along the outer edge of the core to the plurality of anchor points which are distributed across the cover plate; andusing a plurality of hook ties to hook the plurality of respective openings of the respective plurality of elevated side clips along as the outer edge of the core to the plurality of anchor points which are distributed across the cover plate.
