*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 with a higher speed bonus of .24 km/hr is gained for each shoe at QL50, another higher quality.24 km/hr at QL70, and a final .24 km/hr at QL90. *Enchantment with [[Wind of Ages|WoA]] will increase the efficiency or [[Blessings of the horse shoes. The same bonus is added as for the QL: Dark]] will also add a bonus of .24 km/hr at 50 WoAspeed enhancement, another bonus of .24 km/hr at 70 WoA, and with a higher speed bonus of .24 km/hr at 90 WoAhigher enchantment power.*Speed bonuses are only at each threshhold.

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.* 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 increasing 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 timeenchantment power. {| class="wikitable" !
