Have you tried the new EasyShoe One yet? More farriers are adding composite shoes to their tool box to better meet the needs of different horses. Evan Bonner recently tried the EasyShoe One Nail and shares his feedback.

"I recently had the opportunity to try the new EasyShoe One, and I’m impressed.

Polyurethane and composite shoes offer several advantages over traditional steel or aluminum. In this case, they provided better load sharing across the foot, increased shock absorption, and caudal (heel) support—factors that can improve circulation, encourage proper phalangeal alignment, and enhance proprioception.

The EasyShoe One also features a frog insert made from a different density material than the outer shoe, closely mimicking the structure of the natural hoof capsule. For this application, I chose to add dental impression material, which simulates the way dirt naturally packs into the commissures and further improves load distribution.

While steel shoes remain my go-to in many situations, I believe materials like this represent the future of farriery. Over time, I expect modern designs to play an increasingly important role in keeping horses comfortable, sound, and performing at their best."

Thank you for the great feedback, Evan!
