SD Distributing is pleased to be able to provide the full line of U.S. made WD brand horseshoes to Canadian horseshoe players. We're beginning our second horseshoe season this spring working with those fine folks down in Erie Pennsylvania and hope that you get a chance to throw some of these shoes that have previously been unavailable in the Canadian market.
There are four series of shoes covering a total of 20 different styles of horseshoes. From the ultra-light weight GXL's at 1 lb 14 oz. right through to the Alan Francis Legacy, all WD horseshoes are sanctioned and can be used in tournament play.
Two New Lower Priced U.S. made sets were introduced last year. The Bandit at $44.95, modeled after the Imperial Classic, is the lowest priced sanctioned shoe in Canada. The Cobra at $49.95 is modeled after the Imperial Plus.

About Shoes
About "Horseshoe-Like" Looking Objects
Remember.....the first rule of reality states: "....you get what you pay for." This maxim holds true in life and it holds certainly holds true in buying horseshoes.
If you're looking to purchase a couple of sets of horseshoes for backyard or cottage use from the 'Big Box' stores, there are a few things that you should be aware of. I'm going to pick on those sets as sold locally in Canada by Canadian Tire and by WalMart. The same and similar sets are available from other 'Big Box' retailers in the U.S., as well as from a whole host of online re-sellers using Amazon and ebay.
1) The horseshoes sold by
Canadian Tire and WalMart are made in China. This is not
necessarily a bad thing but the Chinese unfortunately don't know
squat about how to make pitching horseshoes. What they are
producing are 'horseshoe-like' looking objects.
2) What the 'Big Box' stores are interested in is your money, not the
quality of their horseshoes. When you ask them "....have you got
horseshoes?" they can say "yes". Try asking the clerk if the shoes
are better for a turn or a flip.......they're not going to have a
clue.
3) I've never come across a Chinese manufactured horseshoe that was
comfortable or pleasurable to throw. Design, balance, and proper
weighting are everything in a horseshoe and the off-shore 'shoes
are not comfortable to my hand and I find them extremely difficult
to throw with any accuracy at all.
4) Throwing a really cheap set of horseshoes is the same as trying to
play golf with a set of clubs that have bent shafts. You can play
golf with the darn things but you're not going to have much fun at
it.
In summing this whole thing up: you don't have to be throwing competitive horseshoes or playing in a league to be able to feel and appreciate the difference between cheap horseshoes and those that are made by people that actually throw horseshoes and know what they're doing. Better horseshoes are easier to throw and make the game more fun.
Life is too short to throw junk.
