Synthetic horseshoes, available since 1990, are made of nylon and various forms of plastic, such as acrylic polymers, polyurethane and polyethylene. They are glued, rather than nailed, to the hoof, which prevents the trapping of moisture between the shoe and the hoof.
Spanish conquest of the Aztec Empire. (Redirected from The destruction of the Aztec) The Spanish conquest of the Aztec Empire (begun February 1519) was one of the most significant events in the Spanish colonization of the Americas.
Soon, however, the Spanish were able to regroup and they conquered the Aztec cities one by one until they finally regained control of Tenochtitlan on August 13, 1521. 40,000 Aztecs died during the siege of Tenochtitlan alone and many more died of disease and famine all over the country afterwards.
