Perancangan Sepatu Kuda Berbahan Dasar Polymeric Foam dan Diperkuat dengan Fiber Glass

This study aims to obtain the best design and material for horseshoes. The research method used is experimental target design. was conducted in Medan most of experiments were at USU University Medan. results this are: it known that horse shoes will be better if they are made using polymeric foam reinforced with glass fiber. Furthermore, found other advantages horseshoe fiberglass when compared low carbon mild steel A 36 material, namely: a) Light weight, so does not burden horse's feet. b) Flexible, can adjust hooves. c) Soft, reduce risk injury. Horseshoe iron, moving, hits a hard surface, cause reaction force over time damage hooves, joints legs even feet, long time. d) Resistant chemicals environment, example urine contained stables, where contains ammonia, mixed harmful substances. e) Not slippery, thus preventing from slipping reducing
