A horseshoe for attaching to a horse's hoof using an adhesive, such as glue. In one example, the horseshoe includes an elastomeric body containing a toe portion, a first branch, a second branch, and a heel portion. A first slot extends laterally through the heel portion of the first branch. A second slot extends laterally through the heel portion of the second branch, and substantially aligns with the first slot. A resilient plate aligns with, and extends between the first and second slots. The plate is substantially perpendicular to at least a portion of the first and second branches. The aforementioned horseshoe may be attached directly to a bottom of a horse's hoof using adhesive bonding. Alternatively, the aforementioned horseshoe may also include a fabric cuff, which may be glued to a horse's hoof by applying adhesive between the cuff and the outside-vertical section of the hoof wall.
