Your Questions Answered
Why are Trinity horseshoes three pieces?
The developers of the Trinity horseshoe recognized the importance of honoring the horse’s hoof design. The hoof is a masterful structure, featuring bone in the toe and cartilage in the heels. By utilizing Perfect Hoof Wear, the toe piece effectively stabilizes the hoof capsule around the coffin bone, while the heel pieces enable independent movement and dynamic stability through elastic potential. This innovative approach fully respects the hoof’s remarkable balance of bone and cartilage, showcasing the brilliance of God’s design.
What sizes does Trinity come in?
Introducing the impressive Trinity three-piece design. Trinity horseshoes are available in a single size and are expertly crafted from a lightweight aluminum alloy, making them suitable for a variety of hooves, ranging from ponies to small draft horses. To achieve an optimal fit for both front and hind hooves, users can shape the toe piece to align with the hoof’s white line and accurately position the heel pieces on the heels, ensuring a perfect fit for a wide range of hooves.
How much does the Trinity Horseshoe weigh?
The Trinity horseshoe was crafted with a focus on lightness, understanding how every ounce can affect a horse’s movement and joint well-being. The Trinity Horseshoe / Perfect Hoof Wear package tips the scale at just 5 ounces, a significant drop from the 7.76 ounces of a #5 aluminum racing plate.
Can Trinity be used on a bare hoof?
The Trinity is engineered for exclusive use with Perfect Hoof Wear. The hoof capsule serves as a natural spring, effectively storing and releasing energy to safeguard the delicate structures within the foot. Certain activities, however, can place excessive strain on the hoof, which can lead to injury. That’s precisely why the Trinity is designed to be used in conjunction with Perfect Hoof Wear – it delivers the essential flexibility needed to absorb additional stress. It ensures the foot remains protected during demanding situations.
Is the Trinity just for performance horses?
Absolutely not. Our profound understanding of Intelligent Design has fundamentally shaped our entire product line. The Perfect Hoof Wear Trinity Horseshoe is specifically engineered to restore health to hooves that are struggling with dysfunction. This groundbreaking shoe not only ensures proper foot function but also expertly manages the energies produced with each stride. In our view, performance and health are unequivocally synonymous.
What special tools do I need to apply the Trinity?
No special tools are necessary to get started. If you’re already experienced in shoeing horses, you likely have everything you need at your disposal. However, if you’re a trimmer keen to incorporate Trinity into your toolkit, youwill need a stall jack (anvil) and a rounding hammer to carefully shape the toe piece. Additionally, a #2 Phillips screwdriver will be essential for the assembly. With these tools in hand, you’ll be well-equipped to enhance your trimming capabilities.
What keeps the Perfect Hoof Wear securely in place?
Every Perfect Hoof Wear Poly Wrap includes innovative, patent-pending anchors that ensure the wrap stays secure, even during intense activities. To install the anchors, simply use a #2 Phillips screwdriver to set them into the horn at the heels. This method eliminates the need for expensive, messy, and unreliable adhesives. Be sure to watch our video on how to use the anchors!
How are Trinity Horseshoes sold?
Trinity Horseshoes are available in sets of two and four. Starter kits are available, as are specialty kits for treating common hoof disorders, such as Negative Palmar Angle Syndrome.
Do the pieces go on the hoof or on the Perfect Hoof Wear?
The Trinity horseshoe is shaped to the bare hoof first, to ensure that the shoe’s anchors are placed correctly. The Perfect Hoof Wear is applied, and the Trinity is then applied to the Perfect Hoof Wear.
Can I use just the heel pieces to raise the heel angle?
In no uncertain terms, using only the heel pieces will not resolve issues related to low heels or a negative palmar angle in a horse. Proper balance between the hoof and foot is absolutely vital when applying any type of shoe, and the Trinity is no exception. Intelligent design mandates that we respect the natural structure of the hoof in our pursuit of balance. We provide therapeutic heel inserts that attach directly to the hoof, enabling the farrier or trimmer to achieve the necessary balance before applying the Perfect Hoof Wear and Trinity.
My farrier mentioned some concerns about the stress on the coffin bone. Is that something to be worried about?
The Perfect Hoof Wear Trinity Horseshoes are thoughtfully engineered to minimize torque on the coffin joint and coffin bone. By channeling energy toward the ungular cartilages in the back half of the hoof, these horseshoes enhance overall performance. The reliable biomechanics of the Trinity design have a long history of success in improving hoof health and function, making them a great choice for optimal equine care.
Can the Perfect Hoof Wear anchors hurt my horse?
No worries—follow the instructions, and the anchors will fit snugly and securely into a spot that easily supports their 5mm length.
Can I use the Perfect Hoof Wear anchors on horses with very thin walls?
Yes, following the directions will help ensure correct anchor placement. Positioning the anchor behind the angle of the bar and low in the heel offers a safe margin. If you are uncomfortable with the standard anchor length, spacers are available to reduce it by 1mm.
Do the Trinity Shoes’ anchors go into the hoof?
Trinity horseshoe anchors are crafted to pass through the Perfect Hoof Wear, penetrating less than 3mm at the white line and into the heels’ horn with remarkable precision.
Is the Trinity Horseshoe Adhesive applied to the hoof?
No, the Trinity Horseshoe Adhesive is designed exclusively for securing shoe components onto the Perfect Hoof Wear.
Do I have to use Adhesive?
The Trinity Horseshoe Adhesive works with its specialized anchors to deliver strong, reliable results.
Is the Trinity Adhesive and Activator sold separately?
The Trinity Horseshoe Adhesive and Activator are available for purchase either together or separately. The adhesive is packaged in a 2-ounce bottle, while the activator comes in a 4-ounce bottle. When used as directed, this combination is sufficient for up to twelve applications.
How important is the Trinity Horseshoe Impression Pad?
The Trinity Horseshoe Impression Pad guarantees a flawless fit, with its unique density allowing Perfect Hoof Wear to mold seamlessly to every curve and contour of the hoof’s solar surface.
How long should Trinity Horseshoes last?
Trinity Horseshoes are built to endure an entire shoeing cycle of 4 to 6 weeks. Yet, since Perfect Hoof Wear can boost hoof growth by up to 200%, we strongly suggest scheduling shoeing every 4 weeks for the best results.
Will toe and heel pieces be sold separately?
Currently, Trinity Horseshoes come exclusively in pairs, ready to keep your horse moving in perfect harmony.
Is it possible to use them just on the front hooves?
Thanks to Trinity’s lightweight design, you have the flexibility to use them only on the front hooves. For peak performance, though, fitting all four hooves is recommended, especially for performance horses. Sometimes, shoeing just the hind hooves can also offer unique advantages.
Can studs be added to the Trinity Horseshoe?
Because of its unique design, the Trinity horseshoe provides exceptional traction over most surfaces. Studs for the Trinity are in development for those who feel even more grip is required for their discipline.
