Der-Hufschuh-Schusterde

Der-Hufschuh-Schuster.de is a horse-care website focused on hoof boots as an alternative to traditional metal horseshoes. It explains how changing patterns of horse use, particularly the growing role of leisure riding, can make permanent shoeing unnecessary for many horses. When a horse’s hoof wall and sole need extra support, hoof boots can provide protection during rides over varied terrain, including rocky paths, asphalt and gravel.

The site highlights several potential benefits of hoof boots: cushioning against impact, avoiding nail holes in the hoof wall, and reducing exposure to hard materials that may contribute to injuries during riding or turnout. It also notes that boots do not interfere with natural hoof growth, can help avoid damage to the hoof wall if a boot comes off, and may be more economical than conventional shoeing because they can be used for longer. The website includes sections for services and prices, hoof boots, photographs, a guestbook and contact information. It is associated with Sebastian Straube.
