1. A fracturing system comprising:
a wellhead assembly; and
a flexible fracturing fluid conduit coupled to the wellhead assembly to enable receipt of fracturing fluid by the wellhead assembly from the flexible fracturing fluid conduit, the flexible fracturing fluid conduit including:
a flexible body;
a rigid end joined to the flexible body, the rigid end including a socket and an annular retention shoulder, wherein the annular retention shoulder has an inner diameter that is less than an inner diameter of the socket; and
a rigid sacrificial sleeve installed in the socket so as to extend along and protect at least a portion of a bore wall of the rigid end from erosive flow of the fracturing fluid through the flexible fracturing fluid conduit during a fracturing operation, wherein the rigid sacrificial sleeve includes a head with a retention shoulder engaged with the annular retention shoulder.
