The St Croix Concorde Aluminium 2-degree Wedge
Part of the St Croix Concorde range of horseshoes, the Concorde Aluminium 2-degree Wedge combines the exceptional features of the Concorde shoe with the added benefit of a wedged heel.
The Concorde Aluminium 2-degree Wedge maintains the familiar shape of a traditional horseshoe but incorporates a distinctive wedge design. Instead of a uniform thickness, the rear of the shoe is elevated, creating a wedge effect. This angle gradually reduces from the heel to the front, providing enhanced elevation at the back while ensuring a smooth transition towards the front of the shoe.
Key Features:
- Toe-clipped: The front shoe in this range comes with a standard two-degree elevation and is toe clipped for added security. The aluminum construction significantly reduces the shoe's weight while maintaining strength and durability.
- Trusted Quality: Champions rely on St. Croix Forge race plates for their technical innovation, attention to detail, and superior craftsmanship. St. Croix Forge is renowned for delivering high-performance products where it matters most.
- Lightweight Advantage: The Concorde aluminum offers the same benefits as the steel version but is almost 70% lighter. This makes it an ideal choice for reducing weight without compromising on performance.
- Enhanced Comfort: The aluminum version is especially beneficial for horses with sensitive hooves or those recovering from leg injuries, providing a lighter alternative that can aid in their rehabilitation.
Design Benefits:
- Beveled Outer Edge: The unique beveled edge of the shoe supports the natural rolling motion of the hoof, promoting a smoother stride.
- Concave Section: Aids in the efficient shedding of earth and sand from the sole and frog, keeping the hoof clean and reducing debris build-up.
- Upright Heel Section: Provides additional support
- Edges: The edges are broken or boxed to prevent chipping and to ensure a comfortable fit.
