Since it's introduction in the
mid 1960's the Imperial "Original" has been regarded as the
"Rolls Royce" of tournament horseshoes. In the first years of
existence it gained the favor of the top players and won State, National and
World championships. In 1968 Elmer Hohl of Canada used Imperials when he set the
all time record for the highest ringer percentage ever in the Men's division of
the World Tournament. That record of 88.2 percent still stands today as well as
countless championships by many top players right up to now. This is a proven
horseshoe that has earned it's great reputation.
Congratulations to
Joan Elmore for
repeating as Women's World Champion on August 4, 2007 in Ardmore, OK... Joan
once again forced a play-off by defeating Sue Snyder in nail-biter in the final
round of regulation play. But this time the play-off was with Sue and
again, Joan turned it on in the end winning decisively with an 89.39% game, not
giving Sue much room to even score. She went 19 - 1 in the extremely competitive finals, pitching an impressive
(for the poor conditions) 81.39% over 20 games. Yes, once again, the Imperial Original
Horseshoe did the job... well, maybe Joan helped it a little bit... but
still, another impressive victory for an Imperial pitcher, right?

Some of this might be a bit
redundant, but it's all worth saying again...This shoe is always in stock, year
round, and it is
manufactured from the highest quality, most durable alloy on the market and
carries our famous one-year no hassle factory warranty... If they break under
warranty, like all the shoes we make, you'll have a new pair immediately... we
take care of business. Just ask anyone... we take care of all our
customers, before and after the sale.

When you proceed
to the next page to enter this item into your shopping cart, you
will be prompted to choose quantity, color and weight options. The color
option is pretty basic, but the weight option requires a bit of
explanation...
In the weight
selection box, you will be asked to choose from three selections:
official weight, medium and heavy. The official weight of a
horseshoe is 2 lbs. 8 oz. and the NHPA allows for a variance of two
ounces, making the maximum weight 2 lbs. 10 oz.
If you select
"Official Weight" you will get horseshoes within that range and that
generally satisfies most everyone.
Occasionally,
some advanced pitchers want to specify shoes on the lighter
side or heavier side of that range and that's why we have the other
two selections. If "Medium" is requested you'll get shoes
at the bottom of the weight range and if "Heavy" is selected you'll
get shoes near the maximum weight. Obviously, it's only a two ounce
range, so the difference is nearly imperceptible to most people.
But for those who have a preference, those options are there.
It seems those who've been at it a while seem to prefer the slightly
heavier shoe.
If you have an
even more specific weight request than this you will have to call in
and ask us about it at 1-800-841-4685, Mon thru Fri, 9 am to 5 pm
Eastern Time.
Note: If you want
to order multiple pairs of the same item with different colors and
weights on each you may have to enter the items individually into
the cart. But don't worry, the appropriate quantity discount will
still be applied.
