Over the last two decades, he invented various hoof protection products made of plastic, like the ‘Dynamix’ or the ‘Easywalker’, but he recently unveiled something truly revolutionary – clip-on running shoes for horses. Forstener claims that they combine the qualities of both the common horseshoe and the hoof boot to offer horses the protection and freedom of movement that they require.

过去20年间，他设计了各种塑料马蹄保护产品，比如Dynamix和Easywalker，但是，最近他推出一款真正具有革命性的产品——夹式马蹄专用跑鞋。福斯特纳表示，该跑鞋结合了普通马蹄铁和马蹄靴的特质，在需要时给马提供保护，让它们可以自由奔跑。

While the iron horseshoe is known for its durability and adjustability, it also has some serious flaws – it’s heavy, restricts movement, has no shock absorption, channels heat and cold to the inner hoof, and the need for nailing can destroy the hoof horn. The hoof boot, on the other hand, has long been the go-to solution for barefoot horse owners, with companies like Cavallo and Easy Boot offering a variety of equine footwear. But finding hoof boots that don’t rub on a horse’s leg and hoof, are easy to put on and remove, and stay on all kinds of terrain can be a real struggle. The Megasus Horserunners claim to incorporate all the qualities of both option, while eliminating the downsides.

众所周知，马蹄铁持久耐用，可调节性高，但是也存在严重的缺点——马蹄铁笨重，限制运动，没有减震功能，既不耐热也不耐冷，而且需要在马蹄上钉钉子，这会损坏蹄角质。而马蹄靴一直以来都是赤脚马主人的首选，Cavallo和Easy Boot等公司推出了各式各样的马靴。但是，要想找到一双马靴，容易穿戴和拆卸且不会磨伤马腿和马蹄，并且可以让马在各种地形上奔跑，这绝非易事。Megasus Horserunners不仅融合了马蹄铁和马蹄靴的特质，而且摒弃了二者的缺点。
