Abstract: A shoeing system for horses' hooves comprises a shoe (3) and shoe insert (2) of shock-absorbing material between the hoof and shoe. The single-part or multiple-part insert (2) is matched to the shape of the horse shoe (3) and is nailed in the front area between the hoof and shoe and can move in the rear area with the hoof relative to the shoe. This mobility is ensured by a sliding member (26) situated between the insert (2) and the shoe (3) and capable of moving relative to the shoe. In the heel area, the insert is provided on its inner side with beading (22) which both permits and restricts displacement of the insert.
