​We have been wondering how to combine the advantages of a conventional horseshoe with those of a Composite Horseshoe in order to get the best result for the well-being of the horse while facilitating your daily work as farrier.

 

Our new Duplo Protective Insoles (PIns)are the outcome!

 

When you use them on a conventionally shoed hoof, they provide, above all, support for the frog and shock absorbance.

The PIns are produced with the well-tried elastic rim of our shoes, which considerably reduces the accumulation of snow, sand and debris. The PIns can therefore be used as integrated Snow Grip! Thanks to the anatomical bevel, there is no pressure on the hoof sole.

The initial plan was that every Protective Insole shall be made specifically for one horseshoe.

The first model of our PIns was thus designed for Kerckhaert Comfort horseshoes.

The successor model is a universal hoof pad. Depending on whether you use, for example, Werkman or Mustad steel shoes, you can grind the pad to fit accordingly. The universal hoof pad has no nail holes, allowing full flexibility to adapt it to the shoes.

You can use the universal hoof pad in a closed version, for example, for additional padding material, or opt for the version with an open sole area and integrated debris guard as a complement to steel shoes in winter. Of course, the hoof pad can also be used year-round if the horse needs extra shock absorption and frog support.
