Been trying out these sidewinders on a few Barrel Horses if you have any questions or Farrier feel free to send a messageSidewinder horseshoes, primarily manufactured by Thoro'Bred, Inc., are specialized aluminum racing plates designed as a "secret weapon" for performance horses. They are highly engineered to deliver maximum speed, control, and stability on the track or in the arena.Primary Target DisciplinesThese shoes are built specifically for horses participating in western speed and agility events that require explosive acceleration and sharp pivoting:Barrel RacingPole BendingRopingTeam PenningKey Design FeaturesLightweight Aircraft Aluminum: Maximizes leg speed while reducing overall fatigue on the horse's lower limbs.Side Notches: Strategically cut into the sides of the web to bite into arena dirt, eliminating side-slipping during hard, aggressive turns.Flat, Wide Web: Provides expansive surface area to support the hoof wall, preventing the horse from sinking too deep into soft footing.Beveled/Stepped Toe Area: Features a smooth breakover profile to reduce joint strains, aches, and tendon pressure.Integrated Side Clips: Forged directly into the shoe to anchor it firmly against the hoof wall, preventing it from twisting or sliding back during hard stops.
