ShoeSecure has helped me to have more consistent training and therefore better results because I am no longer concerned about the problem of losing shoes in the field. ShoeSecure will in the future be part of my equestrian kit, and I recommend ShoeSecure to other riders who have problems with their horses pulling off shoes.

I have owned my present horse for 6 years, he has always been prone to pulling shoes, but in the last 9 months he has pulled a front shoe approximately every two weeks.  The trouble is, my horse is short backed and long legged,  he has very good feet but my farrier was struggling to find anywhere to nail shoes on.

 We had tried many different  shoeing techniques with no success, I suggested we try Shoe Secure.  Amazing, Toad has completed two six week shoeing's without any problems. I would recommend these to anyone who is having the same problem as me.

Sandy has worn ShoeSecures for the past 7 weeks. Before they were fitted, she lost shoes nearly every week thus leaving her feet in really poor condition. The Farrier was having terrible problems nailing her shoes on as she was extremely foot sore and had no foot to nail the shoes to. The ShoeSecures were fitted with heartbar shoes, and she has not lost a shoe since, despite the wet muddy condition of the ground. As a result her feet have improved enough for normal shoes to be fitted with the ShoeSecures. They are a great invention and really work!

"since using shoesecure, my mare's broken up crumbly feet have improved no end. She used to pull a shoe at least once a week and often tore off large pieces of hoof wall. It was almost impossible to nail the shoes back on and even with 2 pairs of overreach boots and 'short heeled' shoes, nothing worked. Great idea ! thank-you so much "

My horse has now worn ShoeSecures for 8 months. In that time he has not lost one shoe compared to a least one a week before hand (record was 3 in a week!) Due to the horrendous hard ground conditions & a badly bruised foot he has now been wearing heart bars for 12 weeks. The shoesecures even fit these which again have prevented him from loosing any shoes or any over reach injuries. A fantastic product which to be honest I now can't live without.

Thanks to ShoeSecure. I now have a sound and happier horse with much improved feet and better hoof growth. I can now exercise my horse regularly. A brilliant product. (my farrier is happy too!)

I have been using ShoeSecures with great success for some time now. My warmblood has a large over track and was regularly pulling front shoes off during turnout, not only was this frustrating but there comes a point where there is very little hoof left to nail a shoe onto. Thanks to ShoeSecure we have not lost a front shoe in nearly a year! Since rupturing his Brachiocephalicus a few months ago they are now playing a part in his rehabilitation as well. I have found that because the ShoeSecures lift him off his heels slightly they reduce the strain on the muscles and tendons which in turn is helping to aid his recovery.
He is currently wearing his ShoeSecures over natural balance shoes which in my experience are more easily clipped and pulled off than a regular shoe and to date we have not lost a single one.
A fantastic product which I regularly recommend to my clients.

 " Thank you ShoeSecure for a revolutionary product! I have an Arabian Stallion who was having to be stabled during show season because he was pulling shoes off weekly and cutting his heels from over-reaching while playing out in his paddock. Since using shoe secure I have had one set of shoes on for 8 weeks without being pulled off, saving me money and giving me complete peace of mind! I highly recommend the product and so does my stallion who is now allowed to stay in his paddock all day long!!"

My young horse Nugget, was my farrier's best customer pulling front shoes off on a weekly basis. Since using ShoeSecure he hasn't lost a shoe for over a year- even in Ayrshire's bottomless mud.

I am delighted with my ShoeSecures. My horse's feet have improved dramatically as my Farriers has been able to balance the feet properly with enough heel length to give support, we no longer worry about the shoes being pulled off. ShoeSecures are fantastic.

I would just like to say a big thank you for solving one of my biggest horse problems.  The farrier fitted his ShoeSecures on his last visit and it is the first time we have gone 6 weeks without having to call him back. He says his feet have also improved greatly. Being an energetic horse he has tried very hard to remove them however it is great to turn up in the evening knowing he still has 4 shoes on. I have got into a good routine putting them on etc and it takes no time.
I would recommend them to anyone.

Thank you so much for my big chaps ShoeSecures they are an absolute god send we have used them for 6 weeks and still had our shoes on when the farrier came to call. He is most impressed as the horse normally manages to get a shoe off at least once a week [he is a hooligan in the field] Once again thank you they are brilliant I will tell everyone I meet in the New Forest about them.

I am so glad you thought of ShoeSecure! I no longer worry about my horse losing shoes and damaging his feet. I bought them in April and my horse has been wearing them all summer, ShoeSecure really works and his feet have improved greatly.
 
Thank you

Billy has worn the ShoeSecures constantly for months now. He is out 24/7 I was worried about them being on all the time, but I take them off everyday either to ride or to clean them and check for any signs of thrush....none yet! I have been able to ride him consistently and go to the local events something I couldn't do last year as he never kept his shoes on. His record was 3 shoes off in one week! My farrier also thinks they are a great product and is pleased that Billy's feet haven't been damaged by the constant damage caused by ripping shoes off. The ShoeSecures are great!

Just to let you know how wonderful ShoeSecures are! My 4 year old TB was losing shoes every week. Since wearing ShoeSecures he has never lost a shoe. His feet have improved as a result, no damage due to pulling shoes off. Best thing I have bought. I just need the Ride-In ones now. Thanks for inventing them!

I have been using the shoesecure for a few months now and despite the initial fiddle of me getting used to them, my horse has not lost a shoe. What a brilliant but simple idea.

The product is brilliant, ShoeSecure have saved me so much time expense and most of all worry, I do not have to wonder if my horses shoes will be on or not and whether he has wrecked his feet. I have had lots of interest from people at my yard that want them for their show-jumpers, I will tell them about the ride in ones as they will definitely be interested.

Thank you!

After all of the helpful advice and information you have given me, Nimrod has been successfully wearing his ShoeSecures for roughly 7 weeks now (being re-shod after 5). They are fantastic and both I and my farrier are very pleased with them. They are not at all as fiddly as I had imagined to put on and take off. Having no experience of studs previously I was a little apprehensive I must admit, but the large nail you kindly supplied me with is just the job for stuffing the stud holes with cotton wool whilst I am working him and equally as helpful to then dig the cotton wool back out again.

Unfortunately just before my farrier appointment before the ShoeSecures were fitted, Nimrod managed to pull a front shoe, losing a large part of his hoof wall in the process. My farrier came out early and managed to fix a plaster cast bandage around the foot to enable a shoe to go back on and then whilst he was there also fitted the ShoeSecures. If Nimrod could have waited another week before destroying a front foot, the ShoeSecures would have prevented this but that's horses for you! I have already recommended ShoeSecures to another lady at work who also has a short coupled TB and my farrier says he has recommended them to several of his clients and also has taken photographs of Nimrod in his to show people.

Many, many thanks for being so helpful and for inventing such a wonderful product!

Kind regards

I am writing to express my satisfaction with the use of a Shoe Secure horseshoe shield. My daughter’s event horse suffered a serious injury to her frog and needed to have some of the frog cut away to quite a depth to allow new tissue to re-grow. We looked for a robust way to protect and take the pressure off the re-growing tissue after we had applied a dressing. We needed something giving protection to allow us to turn the horse out once healing was underway out and the shoe secure was an excellent solution. The fact that the shield can be removed easily meant that we could regularly re-apply a dressing and keep the foot clean.
