The invention defines a non-slip, shock-absorbing, cushioned horseshoe that substantially absorbs the shock encountered by a horse's hooves and legs when the horse is running or jumping. The cushioned horseshoe is defined by a base or mounting plate which is adapted with a plurality of boss members having locking holes, and a ground-engaging sole or body member that includes openings which are aligned with the locking holes of the mounting plate so as to receive and lock nails that are driven therein. The sole member consists of a wear-resistant, resilient material that is fixedly secured to the mounting plate for direct engagement with the ground surface. The resilient material is molded to the lower surface of the mounting plate and is received in a V-shaped channel having securing holes disposed therein, whereby the resilient material becomes fixedly secured to the lower mounting surface of the mounting plate during the molding process to prevent separation therefrom.
