A method for mounting a horseshoe assembly, wherein the horseshoe assembly being directly mounted beneath a surface of a horse hoof, the horseshoe assembly comprises at least a core and a sole, wherein the sole overlays or encapsulates the core, the method comprising:

• securing a cover plate over the horse hoof, wherein the cover plate comprises a plurality of anchor points distributed across the cover plate;
• disposing the horseshoe assembly beneath the horse hoof with the core directly contacting a bottom surface of the horse hoof, wherein:
• the core comprises at least a center piece, a solid single first side arm piece and a solid single second side arm piece,
• the center piece is free from through slots or through holes for nailing nails to the bottom surface of the horse hoof, and
• the solid single first side arm piece and the solid single second side arm piece each comprises a respective through slot or through hole for nailing to the bottom surface of the horse hoof, and the first side arm piece and the second side arm piece are each pivotally coupled to the center piece through a first pivoting region with a first hinge and a second pivoting region, with a second hinge, respectively, wherein the first hinge and the second hinge enable the solid single first side arm piece and the solid single second side arm piece to both pivot towards each other and pivot away from each other, respectively;
• nailing nails through the respective through slots or through holes of only the respective solid single first side arm piece and the solid single second side arm piece of the core directly to the bottom surface of the horse hoof;
• and
• utilizing one or more tying elements, securing the horseshoe assembly to the bottom surface of the horse hoof with a binding force which presses one or both of:
• the core and the sole against the bottom surface of the horse hoof;
• and
• wherein the one or more tying elements are utilized to secure the horseshoe assembly to the bottom surface of the horse hoof, the step of utilizing the one or more tying elements comprises one or a combination of:
• using a single lace to thread through a plurality of respective openings of a respective plurality of elevated side clips along an outer edge of the core to the plurality of anchor points which are distributed across the cover plate;
• using a plurality of laces to thread through the plurality of respective openings of the respective plurality of elevated side cups along the outer edge of the core to the plurality of anchor points which are distributed across the cover plate;
• and
• using a plurality of hook ties to hook the plurality of respective openings of the respective plurality of elevated side clips along as the outer edge of the core to the plurality of anchor points which are distributed across the cover plate.
