Abstract
A horseshoe adapted to be compliant with the expansion and relaxation of the heel areas of a hoof of a horse in motion. The horseshoe consists of a toe area hingedly connected to two heel areas. In the preferred embodiment, the hinges are formed of a resilient material and are tapered from a wide end on the inside of the horseshoe to a narrow end on the outside of the horseshoe. Metal toe and heel inserts are provided as a wear surface for the horseshoe and the toe insert is sufficiently malleable to allow shaping of the horseshoe using typical blacksmithing equipment and tools.
