A HORSE SHOE AND A METHOD OF SHOEING A HORSE FIELD OF INVENTION

[001] This invention relates to horse shoes and the new method of shoeing thoroughbred horses. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION'

[002] Traditionally, horse shoes have been made of iron and are fixed to the hoof using nails. This time consuming process, as there are usually 8 to 10 nails to be inserted per shoe. The nail holes are usually of square section and substantially normal to the plane of the shoe. The process o f replacing shoes can take about one hour. This can be stressful to the animal and the hammering of the nails into the hoof can upset young horses. In addition, it is necessary to avoid the error the soft inner part of the hoof and even experienced farriers can make this mistake.

[003] In conventional nailed shoeing, the nails are inserted to project through the outer surface of the hoof, and the ends are bent over and trimmed and/or filed

. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

[004] Accordingly to an embodiment of the invention, there is provided a horse shoe attachment through holes in which the entrance aperture is closer to the inner rim of the shoe than the exit aperture.

[005] Preferably the shoes are of a plastics material.

[006] The hole can be sized to receive a screw.

[007] The entrance aperture can be countersunk.

[008] Preferably, the screWcan be a 16 m.m.long, 6 gauge, fully threaded pan.

[0091 The screw can be a medium tensile screw.

[010] The head can have a square, hexagonal, or cruciform recess.

[011] This new invention will provide a method of illuminating nails screws or any other metal object on the inside of the horses hoof that in the past have caused considerable serious trouble to both the thorough bred horse and Jockey.

[012] The head of the screw is inserted into the counter-sunk hole

BRIEF DISCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[013] An embodiment or embodiments of the present invention will now be described, by way of example only, with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which:

[014] Figure 1 is a schematic representation of a part of a horses hoof and a front ground view of a polyurethane shoe.

[015] Figure 2 is a schematic bottom ground view of a horse shoe according to an embodiment of the invention showing the overall make up of the shoe prior to being prepared and fitted to the horses hoof.

[016] Figure 3 is a schematic representation of the top view looking down from the top of the shoe showing the shoe at the final stage when it is ready to be affixed to the horses hoof.

{017] Figure4 is a schematic representation of drawings showing the side view of a shoe attached to the hoof of a horse 1002 -4 also the top - underside view of two horse shoes by figure 2.

[018] In this specification, reference to a document, disclosure , or other publication or use is not an admission that the document, disclosure, publication or use forms part of the common general knowledge of the skilled worker in the field of this invention at the priority date of this specification, unless otherwse stated.

[019] It will be understood that the invention disclosed and defined and defined herein extends to all alternative combinations of two or more to the individual features mentioned or evident from the text. All these different combinations constitute various alternative aspects of the invention.

3 A horse shoe as claimedin claim 1 or claim 2, wherein the hole is sized to receive a screw.

4 A horse shoe as claimed in any one of the proceedingclaims, wherein the entrance apertureis countersunk.

5 A horse s hoe as claimed in any one of the proceedingclaims, wherein the holes are adapted to receive fully threaded, 6 gauge pan head screws.

6 A horse shoe as claimed in claim 5, wherein the screws are approximately 16m.m.long.

7 A horse shoe as claimed in 5 and 6, wherein the screws are medium tensile screws.

8 A horse shoe as claimed in any one of 6 to 7 wherein the heads of the screws have a head with a square, hexagonal,slot, or cruciform recess.

9 A method of shoeing a horse using such a shoe,wherein the shoe is affixed with the new method of attachment by using 90% 130 lb tough trace nylon line, 5% glue, three white patches of special glue and a upper cover of a clear plasticstrap startingscrewed to a screw in the side shoulderof the shoe which extends across the wall of the hoof to affix to a screw on the other shoulder of the shoe, that ensures a firm pressure attachment.

10 This attachment is easily removed when ever the shoe needs to be replaced by cutting the nylon 130b tough trace attached to the screws.
