St Croix Advantage Aluminium 3° Wedged Front

St. Croix Advantage Aluminium 3° Wedge Front Shoes – Side Clips

Lightweight aluminium front shoes featuring a 3-degree wedge, designed specifically for the demands of the sport horse.

The St. Croix Advantage Aluminium 3° Wedge Shoe combines St. Croix's established horseshoe design with the lightweight properties of aluminium and an integrated 3-degree wedge profile.

Developed with input from experienced farriers, the St. Croix Advantage range has been designed to provide a practical and versatile shoeing option for sport and performance horses.

This model is designed for the front feet and features side clips with a US-style U-shaped nail punch.

Integrated 3° Wedge

Unlike a traditional flat horseshoe of relatively consistent thickness, the Advantage Wedge gradually increases in height towards the heel.

This creates an integrated 3-degree wedge, allowing the farrier to alter hoof elevation where appropriate as part of an individual shoeing plan.

The built-in wedge eliminates the need for a separate wedge pad in applications where the farrier determines this shoe is suitable.

Lightweight Aluminium Construction

Manufactured from aluminium, the Advantage provides a lightweight alternative to traditional steel horseshoes.

Aluminium shoes are commonly selected for sport and performance horses where reduced shoe weight and responsive movement are desirable.

Designed for Sport Horses

The St. Croix Advantage builds on years of horseshoe manufacturing experience combined with practical input from professional farriers.

Its design provides a versatile option for horses involved in:

• Sport horse disciplines
• Performance competition
• Training
• Other applications where a lightweight wedged front shoe is appropriate

Side Clips

The integrated side clips provide additional stabilisation of the shoe on the hoof and can assist the farrier in maintaining accurate shoe placement.

US-Style Punch

The Advantage features a US-style U-shaped nail punch, providing familiar nail positioning for farriers accustomed to this style of shoe.

Lightweight Performance with an Integrated Wedge

The St. Croix Advantage Aluminium 3° Wedge combines lightweight aluminium construction with an integrated three-degree heel elevation, side clips and a sport-focused design for a practical professional shoeing option.

The suitability of a wedged shoe and the appropriate degree of hoof elevation should be determined by a qualified farrier or veterinarian based on the individual horse's hoof conformation, soundness and biomechanical requirements.
