World's first Jogging Shoes for horses!
The Equine Fusion team receiving the Innovation Award for the Performance Jogging Shoe at the Beta International 2013.
Judges’ comments: “The Performance shoe is very easy to fit and the upper and under-sole is flexible, working in harmony with the hoof and not impeding movement or functionality. We felt this hoof shoe would be particularly useful for therapy and rehabilitation.”
The Team and the story behind the Equine Jogging Shoe
Our Vision
The company was founded when a dedicated horse owner had a horse that always seemed uncomfortable and despite of veterinary checks and treatment it never seemed to get better. As a last resort the metal shoes were removed.
Horses often get sore and uncomfortable when metal shoes are first removed as the hooves have to go through a rehabilitation period. Without additional protection the wear of the hoof can exceed the growth, causing sore hooves.
This horse was in need of a shoe that did not put any restriction on the biomechanical function of it's hooves. Equine Fusion was founded in order to develop a shoe that would work with the anatomy of the hoof, creating natural balance, stability and dampening.
The goal was to make a shoe that could give hoof protection in the most natural and comfortable manner for the horse. The result was the Jogging Shoes which were developed by a dedicated multi-skilled team consisting of engineers in cooperation with veterinarians, renowned horse trainers, hoof trimmers and experts in shoe material and construction.
The key features of these shoes are to give the horse comfort and the rider ease of mind through a flexible shoe that works with the hoof giving it support, dampening and grip. The shoe conforms to the individual hoof and ground surface giving the horse the most natural step possible and allows the horse to feel the ground. This promotes the natural function of the hoof and increases balance and stability.
Equine Fusion prides itself on being a young, modern, fun and creative company. We produce products with amazing design while keeping maximum focus on health, safety and environment. Equine Fusion constantly strives to redefine thinking in the equestrian world for past, present and future horse riders everywhere. Our dream is that horse riding should be an enjoyable experience and we take pride in our contribution to make this happen.
We believe so strongly that the horse and rider should be treated as equals that we have named our company after that belief, “Equine Fusion, fusing horse and rider as one!”
