A horseshoe having a shock absorbing layer and a metal frame which are tightly coupled to each other due to protrusions and depressions. The shock absorbing layer has an arc-shaped protrusion formed at its bottom front, a plurality of uniformly spaced small protrusions formed on opposite side arms of the layer, a pair of circular protrusions downwardly formed on both ends of the layer. The metal frame has first and second protrusions downwardly longitudinally extending from its lower surface throughout its length, a center protrusion being formed between the first and second protrusions, a first depression being provided between the first and center protrusions, a second depression provided between the second and center protrusions and having a tapered shape. The metal frame further includes a plurality of nail driving holes, a plurality of nonslip ribs for preventing relative slip of the metal frame with respect to the horse's hoof and a rugged surface for permitting a nailhead of the nail to become engaged therewith in order to prevent the horseshoe form being loosen. This rugged surface is formed on an inner surface of the second protrusion.
