The shoes may be nailed, glued or strapped onto the hoof of the horse.
Description
DESCRIPTION
HORSE RACING SNEAKERS
This is the invention of a high performance running shoe for horses.
It is intended to finally transpose what has been available to the modern athlete for years into the sport of competitive horse racing.
The comfort, cushioning, and general performance feel ("Bounce") that is provided by a modern pair of trainers would bring great benefit to the sport of racing.
It is estimated that during a 7 furlong race, a typical horse will endure over 800 heal/hoof strikes and exert a force of 400 Ibs per square foot, 3- 4 times its own body weight onto its muscles Tendons and ligaments.
Therefore in the interest of health and performance it would be an advancement.
The invention works uniquely in providing these benefits as a result of its structure and material composition.
The following drawings provide a representation of this invention.
fig. 1 Displays the cross section of the Horse Racing Sneaker - it particularly shows the unique structure of the shoe and its compositional layers.
fig. 2 Provides an overhead view of the shoe indicating further as to its revolutionary shape.
fig. 3 Offers a view of the soles tread and shows a unique spiked grip.
fig. 4 Shows an example of the "mattress cushioning device" fig. 5 Displays the electronic devices as decribed in the claims.
