Mounted police horses have rigorous jobs that require long hours working on pavement and hard surfaces. Mounted police horses need shoes that offer traction on pavement and shock absorption to minimize stress on tendons, ligaments, and joints.
Mounted police horses also need to be desensitized to many sights and sounds so they can stay focused and calm on the job. Andrew and Kristin of Rustic Farm LLC train mounted patrol horses and desensitize them to a wide variety of different stimuli. Andrew and Kristin reached out to us while searching glue-on shoe that could benefit their mounted police horses in training. After landing on the Versa Grip Glue, they put the shoes to the test. After several weeks in training, they have great feedback to report.
“We love the EasyShoe Versa Grip Glue! They’re incredibly easy to apply and built to last, performing well in all conditions.
The grip is excellent, providing reliable traction on a variety of surfaces—including wet and dry grass, concrete, asphalt, and gravel.
The shoes’ flexibility enhances their effectiveness across different terrains, while also allowing the hoof to expand and contract naturally. They offer better cushioning than traditional shoes on hard surfaces, which is invaluable when working up to 60 hours a week on patrol. Plus, they’re more affordable than a full set of shoes with drill tec, making them a fantastic value. Mounted Patrol approved—we’re definitely new, loyal customers of EasyCare!”
