"Alan King Racing would recommend the use of Equishox shoes and has seen first-hand the welfare benefits from a striking point of view and greater stability. We also look forward to the benefits of the shoe when the ground quickens up on the flat and summer jumping.”
As of today, 30 owners, trainers, pre-trainers, and farriers have the Equishox horseshoes on test.
The feedback received thus far regarding horse welfare, injury rehabilitation, injury prevention, wear rate, and performance improvement has been truly remarkable. 👏

How to apply Equishox ⬇️
@AronTyler24
Dip WCF recommends using a hunter style fit for best results. Equishox is no different to fit than a normal shoe, and can be applied with glue or nails.

When the reaction is this positive, you know all your hard work to develop a product that can improve the future of the sport and improve the performance of racehorses has been worth it 👏

Why does our shoe have a rubber coating?
✅ Acts as a shock absorber, reducing the force of impact on the hooves during each stride. This minimizes stress on joints & hooves
✅ Reduces the likelihood of self-injury by overreaching and striking during training and racing
Brian Horohoe Irish Master Farrier IMF, EFFA 🗣️
"4 weeks on holding up well lasting about the same as aluminium shoes there is a bit of wear at the toe but this is to be expected this horse does a bit of road work to get to the gallop daily. We will reset these shoes in a week."

Metal horseshoes offer limited shock absorption which can lead to increased stress on the horse's joints & limbs, especially during high-impact sport like racing
Equishox's shock-absorbing properties help minimize the impact of each stride, reducing the risk of injury & strain

Jockeys are at constant risk of injury from falls or kicks made worse when working with horses wearing metal horseshoes due to the heavy, sharp design. 🚨
Equishox can play a role in significantly reducing the risk of injury, not only to handlers but to the horses themselves.
"I've put these shoes on 3 different horses & all of them won the 1st time out, Sunday Soldier has won 4 times out in them now so we've seen good success & definitely can see where they will have a place in racing. Everyone should give them a try!" Farrier - John Benfield 🗣️

💭 How long does Equishox last compared to traditional steel or aluminium plates?
Equishox shows minimal wear and tear & proves to be as long-lasting as traditional shoes between routine shodding.

Are you looking to improve the welfare of your racehorse?
Equishox acts as a shock absorber, significantly reducing the impact force on the hooves during each stride. This minimizes stress on joints and hooves, allowing racehorses to perform at their best.
As Cheltenham kicks off today, it serves as a reminder of why we want to protect the future of this sport.
Good luck to all the owners, trainers and jockeys involved. 🐎
