THE SLYPNER ATHLETIC HORSESHOE
A revoluntionary, shock absorbent, two-part horseshoe system.
Dear Fellow Horseowner,
Thank you for your interest in Slypner Athletic Horseshoes. We would like you to
consider the following:
-When shod with traditional steel horseshoes, the force your
horse's hooves withstand is comparable to a 300 lb. sledge
hammer every time their legs hit the ground. This is the same
for a pleasure horse, a performance horse or a horse that has
an existing injury or condition.
-Would you want to run miles in steel shoes or a pair of
athletic shoes? If your horse had a choice in the matter, he
wouldn't either! At Slypner Athletic Horseshoes, we understand
that the longevity of your horses' comfortable working life is
at stake. We feel strongly that our shock absorbing horseshoes
are the nicest thing you can do for your horse.
Like you, Slypner's sales representatives are also horse
owners. Please give us a call at 1-800-SLYPNER (1-800-759-7637)
if you have any questions, want more information, or just want
to talk about the suitability of our shoes for you horse.
Sincerely,
Joan G. Demers - Product Advisor/Marketing
Sharon Companion - Customer Service/Sales
