摘要

The horseshoe (1) has two fixed, axially symmetrical horseshoe halves (3) connected by a connecting part (5) at ends (9). Openings (13) are provided in the ends of the halves and opened in a direction of a front side (11) of the ends. A width of each opening in a region of the front side is smaller than in a region upstream to the front side. The connecting part includes two oppositely lying engaging regions (15), which include shapes complementary to the openings and are retained in the openings in form-fit and force-fit manner. The connecting part is made of an elastic material. An independent claim is also included for a method for manufacturing a horseshoe adapted to a hoof.
