Michel Vaillant Parabolic Sport Steel Horseshoes

A high-performance steel shoe from France specifically geared towards the needs of performance horses. Easy to shape, and loved by horses and farriers alike. 

6 Concepts of the Parabolic Sport Shoe:

SOLE PROTECTION:

• Toe with wide cover (25 mm) to protect the front part of the foot and balance sinking into soft grounds between toe and heels.

• Quarters with thinned branches (20 mm) to facilitate the foot's lateral sinking in turns (reduce stresses on collateral ligaments), improve grip and reduce weight (15% lighter than a basic shoe section 22 x 10 mm).

ERGONOMIC HEEL SUPPORT:

• Heels with wide cover (25 mm) for better load distribution and avoids the heels sinking into soft ground (reduce stresses on deep digital flexor tendon and on podotrochlear apparatus).
• Ergonomic design to respect the frog's morphology.

MULTI-DIRECTIONAL ANGLE:

• Toenail holes with multi-directional angles. Easy driving of the nail even if the shoe is set back from the toe or forged with a square toe.

FULL ROLLING:

• Totally beveled outer rim. Facilitates breaking over and reduces stresses during the propulsion phase in a straight line as in turn.

FLEX SYSTEM:

• Improves the lateral elasticity of the shoe to facilitate the hoof's natural movements.
• 2.5 times more lateral elasticity than a basic shoe (section 22 x 10 mm).

 All Parabolic Steel Shoes are 9 mm Thick with Quarter Clips.
