In the field of covering for a bottom side of hoofs of horses, considerable improvements are obtained compared to the application of the traditional horseshoe when hoof covering which is fixed to the hoof (1) at least at the location of the heels is applied. In particular, engagement spots are created at the location of the heels by arranging from a side at least one hole in the horn material of the hoof (1). In an embodiment, the hoof covering comprises a single front covering piece and two back covering pieces (12). The back covering pieces (12) may be connected to the hoof (1) via the engagement spots in various manners. For example, the covering pieces (12) can comprise a projection (17), which is inserted into a cavity (13) which is present in the hoof (1) at the location of the heels, wherein the projection (17) is fixed in its place by a pin (18) which is inserted through both holes in the hoof (1) and the projection (17). |
