FLEX'HERB

the ideal combination of protection, flexibility and lightness to give your horse a barefoot feel.

Flex’Herb, a plastic horseshoe part of the Delysis Flex range, is dedicated to grass riding ! It embodies both innovation and the constant research between performance and well-being for our equine friends. These Delysis have been meticulously designed to give barefoot horses the opportunity to compete on grass.

Flex’Herb optimizes your horse’s performance while preserving the natural mobility of their hooves, thanks to a flexible, lightweight plastic horseshoe.

 

The main goal : To offer a solution that retains a barefoot feel while allowing studs to be integrated into the protection to perform on grass competitions. 

 

Composed of Flexinyl, a polyamide protection (plastic horseshoe) providing comfort and lightness, the Flex range appears to be fitted with the closest material to that of the sole of the hoof. It achieves a perfect balance between comfort and safety : A new experience for both horse and rider !

Flexible, for better natural mobility

Flex’Herb, like Flex’Sand, is a plastic horseshoe designed to mimic the feeling of barefoot, while offering essential protection for the horse. Essential, yes, since competition on grass implies the need to use spikes to reduce the horse’s slipping on the ground.

This is why, until now, it was impossible for riders with barefoot horses to enter the finest grass competitions. 


With Flex’Herb, you’ve got the solution !
This innovative design is based on a deep understanding of the horse’s anatomical needs and natural movements. The flexibility provided by this model of plastic horseshoes also reduces the impact on joints and tendons : horses benefit from greater freedom of movement which, in the majority of cases, translates into improved performance.

What about the rider ?

Not just good for the horse ! Thanks to their lightweight and flexible design, they enable riders to feel the horse’s movement more intimately. As a result, riders can enjoy a better connection with their horse, promoting more intuitive riding and better communication.

Furthermore, the flexibility of plastic horseshoes may be limited, depending on the model selected, compared with materials such as Flexinyl. This rigidity can hinder the natural movement of the horse’s hoof, and cause mechanical stresses that can lead to genes in the horse.

The equestrian world is constantly evolving, and technologies related to equestrian equipment and horse comfort are no exception. Among recent advances, the plastic horseshoe has established itself as an interesting alternative to traditional metal horseshoes. Let’s take a look at the features of plastic horseshoes, their advantages and limitations, and the considerations you need to take into account when using them. Ready to get started ?

Plastic horseshoes : A lightweight alternative

The plastic horseshoe has appeared on the market with the promise of being lighter than traditional metal horseshoes. Plastic actually offers a weight advantage, which can be beneficial for horses needing to reduce the load on their limbs. Plastic also reduces resonance in the horse’s hooves, so a plastic shoe is less “traumatic” for the horse.

The limitations of plastic horseshoes

However, it’s important to note that despite its reduced weight, a plastic horseshoe is not necessarily cheaper than a traditional shoe. Indeed, the manufacture and development of specific plastic materials can lead to production costs comparable to, or even higher than, those of metal horseshoes.

Furthermore, the flexibility of plastic horseshoes may be limited, depending on the model selected, compared with materials such as Flexinyl. This rigidity can hinder the natural movement of the horse’s hoof, and cause mechanical stresses that can lead to genes in the horse.

Flexinyl : An alternative to promote horse well-being

Faced with the limitations of plastic horseshoes, Flexinyl has emerged as a promising alternative to promote horse well-being. Developed by our R&D team, Flexinyl is a lightweight, flexible technical polymer compound that resists the constraints imposed by horseshoes. Unlike plastic shoes, Flexinyl allows natural heel mobility, mimicking the natural movement of the horse’s hoof and considerably reducing vibrations in the horse’s hooves. Flexinyl’s main advantage lies in its flexibility, offering the horse a true barefoot sensation while still providing protection.

Delysis offers two models for show jumping :

flexherb

FLEX'HERB

The solution for barefoot horses on grass.

flexsand

FLEX'sand

The solution for barefoot horses on grass.

Thanks to Hubforge, the Delysis horseshoes design software, farriers can design tailor-made shoes in Flexinyl to suit the specific needs of each horse. This guarantees optimum comfort and performance for the horse.


The plastic shoe is the ideal alternative between the traditional shoe and the bare foot. It offers slight protection to the horse without restricting its locomotion. But beware ! Its limitations in terms of flexibility and durability must also be taken into account when using it. Flexinyl offers an even more attractive alternative to enhance the horse’s well-being and mobility. Our development teams are continuing their research into materials to improve equine comfort and performance for years to come.

Your horse’s comfort is paramount, which is why Delysis are designed to minimize the risk of pain or discomfort associated with shoeing. Get ready to experience new sensations, with a horse that can move freely.

#5. Shock absorption

Your horse’s hooves are subjected to many shocks and impacts, especially when landing obstacles. Delysis helps absorb these shocks, preserving hoof and joint health.

#7. Adaptability to the terrain

We’ve thought of almost everything! We’ve designed a range for each discipline, in line with the qualities of the terrain you’ll be riding on. For example, we offer two jumping experiences:
