HY’BRED feels that by providing as many positives in one package, we will provide you the Ferrier, with one more weapon in your arsenal to deal with day to day shoeing. In summary, with as many reasons to use our shoe, we are confident that the HY'BRED Sport Shoe will become part of your shoeing practice.

Construction
Polished forged Aluminum bonded with a Poly-Urethane inset.

Designed to absorb high-frequency vibrations which can cause bone, joint and tendon injuries, the HY'BRED Shoe uses a specially formulated urethane that is bonded to a thin aluminum horseshoe. Applied just like a regular horseshoe, the HY'BRED shoe can reduce and/or prevent many concussion-related injuries such as splints and swollen legs/joints.

Benefits
Lameness & Navicular are caused by shock to the horse’s legs, hoofs, and joints. The unique composite construction of the HY'BRED provides shock absorption, where as completely metal shoes actually amplify the shock, even when applied with a pad. The highly elastic, yet wear resistant anti-shock elements, in combination with the special polymer material provides the ultimate in shock dampening and comfort for the horse and an effective preventive for Lameness & Navicular.

A horse with less stress to its extremities will live a longer, healthier, and more productive life.

They will also prevent quarter cracks, wall separation, bare cracks and other numerous ailments that horses will normally get.
