蹄の厚い蹄先で行っている。Horses in general, and racehorses in particular, wear horseshoes for the purpose of hoof protection, etc., and this horseshoes lasts about 20 to 30 days. It is common to replace it. For horseshoes, materials such as soft iron with a certain degree of softness and aluminum are mainly used to reduce the impact on the hoofs and legs during walking and running, and the entire horseshoe is composed of almost one material. ing. The plane shape of the horseshoe is almost U-shaped, and the tip of the U-shape is provided with a projection for determining the tip position of the hoof when hitting the horseshoe, a so-called iron lip of about 1 cm. Also, in the case of racehorses, 1 due to races and running during training.
Since a very strong load is applied to the hoof of a book, a cushion material is provided between the hoof, that is, on the upper surface side of the horsesho. This cushion material was made of synthetic resin material such as urethane rubber, and was cut into various shapes according to the shape, characteristics, and habit of each horse's hoof, and was attached. This was done by driving a horseshoe nail through the hole in the bottom of the horseshoe toward the hoof, fixing the hoof, the cushioning material, and the horseshoe. This horseshoe nail is generally ahead of the maximum lateral diameter of the horseshoe,
It is done with a thick hoof tip.

護できる蹄鉄を得ることを目的とする。The front part of the horse's hoof is separated from the maximum lateral diameter of the hoof, and the rear part is separated from the heel. And in terms of its growth, the hoof is faster than the hoof. Therefore, since the tip of the hoof that is still overstretched, usually by hoofing,
I tried to make the shape of the hoof unbalanced. And when the horse walks, runs, kicks the ground after landing, it twists the hoof for a moment, and when the hoof is further lowered, the bottom of the hoof opens momentarily and closes when raising it. It is generally called hoof movement. In this hoof movement, the hoof narrow in the rear center of the bottom of the hoof opens and the hoof around it also opens, but this hoof movement is much larger in the hoof rather than in the tip of the hoof. As a result, the bottom surface of the hoof is rubbed against the top surface of the horseshoe or the top surface of the cushioning material attached to the horseshoe, and is worn. However, the degree of wear is larger on the heels due to the characteristics of the hoof movement. For this reason, the growth is slow and the heel is more likely to wear due to hoof movements that are larger than the tip of the foot. When this hoof is worn out, it is called hoof abrasion. When this is severe, even if you try to trim the hoof to match the wear and try to trim the hoof, the whole hoof will be overcut. There were important protection issues. Furthermore, if the adhesion between the horseshoe and the hoof is poor, dirt and sand may enter in the gap, which further increases the abrasion of the hoof. It is an object of the present invention to provide a horseshoe having a simple structure, which can reduce wear and tear of heels and protect hoofs.
この目的を達成する為に、この考案は、蹄鉄の蹄踵上面

成り、蹄先上面部がクッション材から成る。In order to achieve this object, in the present invention, the upper surface of the hoof of the horseshoe is made of a material having a higher surface smoothness and a higher adhesion to the hoof than the upper surface of the tip of the hoof. Further, according to this invention, the upper surface of the heel of the horseshoe is made of a material having a higher surface smoothness than the upper surface of the tip of the hoof, a high degree of adhesion to the hoof, and a high hardness. Further, according to this invention, the upper surface of the hooves is made of stainless steel and the upper surface of the hooves is made of cushion material.
蹄鉄の蹄先上面部の表面より、蹄踵上面部の表面のほう

蹄は蹄踵の方の擦り減り具合が、蹄先より小さい。 また、平滑性を高く形成すると、蹄との密着性がよく、
この間に砂等が入り込みにくい。Since the surface of the upper surface of the hooves is made of a material with higher smoothness and higher adhesion than the surface of the upper surface of the hoof of a horseshoe,
The degree of wear on the hoof is less than that of the tip of the hoof. In addition, a material having a higher hardness on the upper surface of the hoof than the upper surface of the hoof has higher smoothness and is easier to form. As a material, the upper surface of the hooves is made of stainless steel. The upper surface of the tip of the hoof is made of cushion material in addition to soft iron, aluminum and the like. Therefore, even if the bottom surface of the hoof rubs against the upper surface of the horseshoe or the upper surface of the cushioning material attached to the horseshoe by the movement of the hoof,
The hoof has a smaller degree of wear on the hoof than the tip of the hoof. In addition, if it is formed with high smoothness, it has good adhesion to the hoof,
It is difficult for sand etc. to enter during this period.
