Copper Alloy Bar Stock

Absolutely, the 8.53% on shock absorption is critical for horses soundness and longevity, directly impacting the musculoskeletal health, comfort, and performance of the horse

Yes, the copper alloy insert is placed directly over the frog and releases ions 24/7 over the affected area, reaching deep into the infected tissue. No topical treatment of any kind is needed, as Kawell inserts are the only guaranteed treatment on the market.

Yes, Kawell horseshoes are safe. Kawell Copper Alloy are a patent design # US 9 107 398 B2, registered with the Copper Development Association - UNS Alloy No. C6915, and the copper alloy is approved by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) # 82012-3 and acts against seedy toe, white line disease, and thrush.

The shoes can be worked either cold or hot. When shaped cold, they should work like steel shoes, which a bit more "spring" when hit with the hammer. If used in hot shoeing, they should be treated like aluminum and not heated more than app. 900 degrees (half a heat) or they will fall apart. If not overheated, they will work fine.

Any horse that has problems resulting from bacterial or fungal infections, such as thrush, white line disease and chronic abscesses, which can be especially prevalent in wet or humid climates, or in situations where the conditions in which the horse is kept make the horse susceptible to these problems. In addition, due to the shock absorption qualities of the shoes, any horse that can benefit from minimizing shock to the feet legs, such as endurance horses and horses ridden on hard surfaces, such as concrete or asphalt pavement. Endurance horses that have used these shoes in events have been shown to have little to no leg swelling (stocking up) and soreness after the event, and their race times have shown considerable improvements when compared to wearing steel shoes.

Kawell's Copper Alloy is naturally antimicrobial due to it's ability to release copper salts when exposed to moisture, oxygen, and salts in the environment. These copper salts are toxic to a wide range of microorganisms, including bacteria, fungi, and some viruses. When microbes come into contact with a copper alloy surface, the copper salts penetrate their cell walls, disrupt their metabolic processes, and damage their DNA and proteins. This multi-targeted attack overwhelms the organism, causing rapid cell death and preventing replication. Unlike chemical disinfectants, copper alloy's antimicrobial action is continuous and doesn’t rely on active application, making Kawell's Copper Alloy an effective and long-lasting solution for reducing microbial contamination.

Yes, they are the only guaranteed treatment on the market. Copper alloys, such as those used in Kawell USA products, release ions that can destroy the cell membranes, DNA/RNA, and proteins of microbes responsible for thrush, white line disease, and seedy toe.

Absolutely. They reduce shock by over 8.53%, support joint health serving as crucial tools for protection, traction, and therapeutic on competitive surface.

Yes, the hoof paste enhances the hoof's moisture balance the overall health, repelling water, with Pine tar and Pine oil, eco-friendly antiseptic and antifungal ingredients.

Unlike traditional materials, these inserts are made from a patented, EPA-approved copper alloy that continuously reduces bacteria and fungus on contact. Designed by renowned farrier Esco Buff, PhD, APF-I, CF, they offer long-lasting antimicrobial protection, durability, and are 100% recyclable.

Absolutely. The Copper Curry Brush is gentle yet effective, making it suitable for all coat types, including horses with sensitive or allergy-prone skin.

Yes. Because the brush eliminates bacteria and fungi on contact, it's safe to use across different horses without risk of cross-contamination.

No, Kawell copper alloy antimicrobial properties are inherent to the metal itself, been all the way throw.

Yes. Solid copper naturally kills bacteria on contact, helping reduce the transfer of bacteria and microbes between horses when grooming—especially important in shared barn environments.

No. The brush is made with 100% solid copper, not copper-plated, so the antimicrobial benefits won’t wear away or chip off with use.

Yes. The brush is designed for regular grooming and is gentle on the coat while still being tough on dirt—ideal for everyday use on most coat types.

A solid copper curry brush naturally kills bacteria on contact, helping keep grooming tools cleaner while loosening dirt, hair, and debris from the coat.

No. Our copper alloy is engineered for durability and performance, providing long-lasting wear comparable to traditional horseshoes while offering added antimicrobial benefits.

No. Pure copper is too soft for everyday horseshoe use. Kawell horseshoes are made from a 100% solid copper alloy (85.5% copper), making them as durable as steel.

Thrush in horses is a common bacterial infection, often caused by Fusobacterium necrophorum, that attacks the frog of the hoof. It thrives in wet, muddy, or unhygienic conditions.

Seedy toe is the separation of the hoof wall from the underlying laminar layer, usually at the white line, creating a cavity filled with crumbly necrotic horn. It is often caused by bacterial or fungal infections.

White line disease (WLD) in horses is a progressive, non-inflammatory infection caused by bacteria, fungi, or yeast that invade and digest the inner hoof wall.

No chemical or antibacterial cleaners are needed — the copper naturally self-sanitizes by eliminating bacteria on its surface.
