EasyCare is thrilled to expand our composite shoe size range to fit a wide variety of breeds and disciplines. If you have a draft horse who is looking for hoof protection, we have a few options.
The EasyShoe Versa Grip is offered in sizes up to 206mm. The Versa Grip is a nail-on shoe with metal inserts and clips for nailing. This is a great option for horses who need some stability while still providing the frog support and concussion absorption of composite shoes.
The EasyShoe Versa Grip Light is also offered in sizes up to 206mm. The Versa Grip Light can be nailed or glued. The Versa Grip Light is full urethane, making it the most lightweight, flexible option.
For indirect gluing, you can heat weld EasyTabs to create a custom glue-on shoe. Fit the shoe to the horse’s hoof shape, adjust with a rasp or grinder, then heat weld your tabs for a custom glue-on shoe option.
Please note: XXL and XXXL EasyTabs are arriving very soon!
EasyCare HCP, Daniel Meegan of Natural Barefoot Farrier, has several draft breeds of several disciplines including carriage driving, dressage, police horses, and more. The larger sizes are helping many of these draft breeds excel in their disciplines.
“I am very grateful that EasyCare added draft sizes to their inventory. Their focus on minor details make for a clean finish.
Having a 4mm size difference between shoe sizes gives me the proper fit for each horse.
With refined nail holes, I can choose from a variety of E head nails and not worry too much play on the nails after seating them.”
Mickey is one of Daniel’s client horses who is enjoying his new Versa Grips. Mickey’s owner reports that he “loved his new kicks. He was ready for his next dressage lesson in his new dancing shoes.”
Sheriff the Bar Horse is also enjoying his new Versa Grips. He works long hours on pavement and hard surfaces, and is enjoying his customized shoes dyed red.
