An assembly for attaching a horseshoe to a horse's hoof is described. The assembly is adjustable in both size and shape to conform to most horse shoe sizes and shape configurations. The horseshoe assembly includes an elastomeric rim pad, a fabric cuff, and a plate. The elastomeric rim pad has an upper surface which is coextensive with an outer bottom periphery of a horse's hoof. The fabric cuff is partially cast into the elastomeric rim pad, and is configured to conform to a wall of a horse's hoof and attach thereto through the use of an adhesive. A plate is secured to a lower surface of the elastomeric rim pad, the plate comprised of a bendable material which is adjustable in shape to conform in shape and size with a horseshoe selected from a group of horseshoes having different shapes and sizes. The plate is attached to the selected horseshoe.
