Easy Shoe Performance Spacers, set

The EasyShoe Performance Spacers are accessories from the company EasyCare designed for use with the EasyShoe Performance and EasyShoe Performance N/G horseshoes. Their primary function is to act as a "third hand" for the farrier, adjusting and setting the shoe's width during nailing to ensure a proper fit on the horse's hoof.

Key Features and Functions

Width Adjustment: The spacer is inserted into the back of the shoe after removing the vertical tabs to lock the width before nailing. Once the application is complete, it is easily removed, allowing the shoe to regain its normal vertical and horizontal flexibility.

Customization and Stabilization: Spacers can be used to restrict or lock the shoe's flexibility in cases where stability is required (e.g., for horses with growing hooves). They can be added or removed at any time during the shoeing cycle, allowing for adjustment as the hoof grows.

Availability and Sizes

EasyShoe Performance Spacers are typically sold in sets of 5, including 5 different sizes for flexible selection:

• 8mm
• 10mm
• 12mm
• 14mm
• 16mm

If the spacer is intended to remain permanently in the shoe, it can be secured with self-tapping screws. The ability to insert and remove the spacer while the shoe is already nailed or glued offers professional farriers many creative options for customizing to each horse's needs.
