History

In 2003, a multiple Graded Stakes-winning racehorse named Forest Music was having a terrible time with her feet. Her farrier needed to think "outside the box" and find a way to attach a shoe with minimal interference with the mechanics of the hoof. After extensive studies of the movement of lateral cartilages when the hoof bears weight, as well as evaluation of x-rays and cadaver feet, a revolutionary horseshoe was created. Another decade of pursuing and tweaking the design has led to today's patented Hanton Glue-On Horseshoes, co-founded by farriers Pat Broadus and Matt Spoerlein.
