*The speed enhancement depends on the quality of the equipped horseshoes. 50 QL is required for any bonus {New information suggest that this is no longer the case, more research needed, see http://forum.wurmonline.com/index.php?/topic/77108-horse-gearspeed-test/ for more info}. A bonus of .24 km/hr is gained for each shoe at QL50, another .24 km/hr at QL70, and a final .24 km/hr at QL90. 
 
*Enchantment with [[Wind of Ages|WoA]] will increase the efficiency of the horse shoes. The same bonus is added as for the QL: a bonus of .24 km/hr at 50 WoA, another bonus of .24 km/hr at 70 WoA, and a bonus of .24 km/hr at 90 WoA.
 
*Speed bonuses are only at each threshhold. For example, a QL70 horse shoe will give the same bonus as the same shoe improved to QL89, and a horse shoe with 50 WoA will give the same bonus as the same shoe with 69 WoA.

Horseshoes increase the speed of a horse. How much speed is gained is a factor of:

* QL of the horseshoe
* The base speed of this horse, with no shoes  was 13.69 kph on a '''flat cobbled road'''. 
+
* the casted power of [[Wind of ages]] or [[Blessings of the dark]]
* The testing was a continuous non-stop process and did not afford the horse a chance to graze. During testing at the 140 Total Shoe Quality level, the horse became hungry, resulting in a prompt speed reduction, from 15.11 kph to 12.2 kph. Feeding the horse restored its speed performance.

* the rarity of the shoe
* It was found that the '''sum of the qualities''' of the shoes had an effect on the speed of the horse as seen below.
 
* Shoes of various qualities were mixed in order to provide quality sums in increments of 10 - for example, 70 QL total = 1 shoe at 30 QL and 1 shoe at 40 QL.
 
* Testing for total shoe quality above 200 was not possible due to lack of higher quality shoes for testing at this time.
