Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to a horse hoof brace that is attached to the horse's hooves to protect the claws and prevent dirt from flying backwards.

Conventional horseshoes only protect the hoof from wear and tear by nailing the bottom of the hoof.

Therefore, when running on soft soil, dirt and sand are forced into the thickness of the horseshoe and the concave part of the sole of the hoof, resulting in bald feet.Especially in horse racing, the dirt and sand pressed into the sole of the hoof are blown away and the horse runs from behind. There was a risk of getting in the way or getting injured by the horse and rider.

The present invention was devised to eliminate the above-mentioned drawbacks, and an embodiment will be described below with reference to the drawings. As shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, the main body 1 is formed in a horseshoe shape from a hard synthetic resin material,
A plurality of nail holes 4 for mounting are provided at desired positions around the area.

Next, a raised hill 2 rising upward from the bottom wall is provided along the inner front part of the main body 1, and a plurality of escape grooves 5 are provided therebetween.

Since this relief groove 5 has a spring effect and is used for adjustment according to the size of the hoof, if it is provided transparently in the part of the main body 1 that is outside the ridge 2, the adjustment will be more effective.

Furthermore, the rear part 6 of the main body 1 that is removed from the raised hill 2 is inclined toward the lower wall so that the earth and sand can easily fall off.

3 is a nail stop that prevents the hoof from slipping, similar to conventional horseshoes.

To attach it to a horse's hoof with the above-described structure, the hoof is cut in the same manner as conventional horseshoes, and a nail is driven into the nail hole 4 to fit the horse's hoof.

When worn in this way, when walking or running on hard surfaces, there is no press of dirt into the sole concavity, and it is no different from conventional horseshoes, and when walking or running on soft soil, the horse will not be forced into the sole concavity. Due to the weight of the body, the earth and sand are pressed in as shown in the press-in state I of earth and sand shown by the two-dot chain line in Figs. When released, the spring elasticity of the raised hill 2 causes it to contract back to its original state, and the pressed-in earth and sand is thrown out.

Further, since the rear part 6 of the main body 1 which is out of the raised hill 2 is inclined toward the lower wall, dirt in the road is more likely to come out.

Therefore, the dirt separates from the sole of the hoof before it scatters backwards, so it does not scatter and poses no danger to people and horses from behind.

As mentioned above, once a mold is made, it can be molded at a lower cost than conventional horseshoes, and a more effective hoof brace can be provided.
