The Series I“glue-on” horseshoe can be used with conventional snow pads in the snow & ice. The integral, ¼-inch thick, concave-relieved rim-pad allows the use of a standard snow pad. A unique, added feature is that this Sound Horse horseshoe easily allows the farrier/owner/trainer to install and remove the snow pad without removing the horseshoe.
