SAFE-GRIP

Barrel horses in this day and age are much more competitive than they were in years past, the arena ground is just not keeping up with today's horses. The rate of horses being injured while competing is on the rise from slips and falls. A small number of horses have been injured in a way they had to be euthanized. The Patented Safe-Grip Shoes are the answer to today's problems with the performance horse, providing traction only when needed. The shoe is designed to let the barrel horse slide going into the barrel but as soon as the horse starts to push off to leave the barrel, it will grip the ground to give traction. The cleats have a design to them that allows traction only when the horse pushes with the shoe (forward motion) but has little traction when the horse stops. We have found that Safe-Grip shoes perform very well on Roping horses, Cutting horses, Endurance trail riding horses, and many other disciplines that need traction for fast starts without slips.
