Abstract: An improved horseshoe made of resilient material, and a horeshoeing system and method, with the system including resilient material and underlying metal shoe portions. The resilient material shoe portion has a plurality of openings therethrough between a ground engaging face and an opposite face for passage therethrough of connecting bolts utilized to connect the shoe portions. The openings are positioned so that there is no interference between connecting bolts and nails arranged in a common nailing pattern used to attach the metal shoe portion to the horse's hoof, while still providing durable securement of the portions of the system. The horseshoeing method provides for selective positioning of the portions relative to one another and for connection of the resilient material portion to a metal shoe portion having an overall configuration selected to accommodate the particular characteristics of the horse being shod.
