Marathons are durable and very flexible. Not only are they proven to be 90% shock absorbent they also provide excellent grip in all terrains and weather conditions. They are very light weight. Depending on size they weigh no more than 100 to 200 grams = ¼ to ½ oz per shoe.

According to scientific tests the fastest horse has been clocked at 70kph. At this speed it was found that each hoof exerted 1tonne or 1000kgs of weight as it made contact with the ground. If a horse was wearing iron or metal shoes the pressure of the hooves cannot be diverted or reduced and causes damage to the horses hooves and bone structure.

Horses wearing Marathons Horse Shoes can absorb 90% of this pressure thereby protecting its hooves and bones.

Further tests prove that when a horse walks, trots or runs 10,000 meters (i.e. 10,000 paces, 1 pace = approx 1 meter) and when shod with iron or metal shoes the horse would carry a total weight of 18,000kgs but when shod with Marathons Horse Shoes it would carry only a third of this weight namely 6,000kgs.
(e.g. 10,000 paces = 10,000 meters x 1 average size iron horseshoe weighs approx 0.45gms x 4 hoofs totals 18,000kgs = 10,000 x 0.45 x 4 = 18,000).

Marathons will help your horse conserve energy and thus reduce the common problems associated with muscles, ligaments, frog, coffin bone, heel, hoof wall, sole bruising, splints, side bone, laminitis, navicular problems and other hoof and/or bone ailments especially common to the front hooves.

Marathons Horse Shoes absorbs 90% of the impact when the horses front hooves hit the ground. They can also help reduce the common side effects of EIHP (Exercise Induced Pulmonary Haemorrhage) which often occurs in Horses who are in a high performance situation like racing where the front feet are accelerating under high pressure*.
