Product Details
Brand: MUSTAD
Some Key features of this shoe are:
Weight Redistribution: The primary function of a heart bar shoe is to allow the frog to take some of the weight, rather than the sensitive hoof wall, which is particularly beneficial in cases of laminitis or founder. This support helps stabilize the coffin bone within the foot.
- Ease of Breakover: The shoe incorporates Mustad's "Equi-Librium mechanics" to facilitate an easy and smooth breakover (the moment the heel leaves the ground), which minimizes stress on the distal limb.
- Reduced Strain: Being made of aluminum, the shoe is significantly lighter than a steel counterpart (reportedly 65% lighter than the steel Equi-Librium). This reduced weight lessens the overall strain on the horse's joints and tendons, making it ideal for horses in rehabilitation or those sensitive to heavy loading.
- Sole Relief: The design includes built-in sole relief features to prevent pressure on the sole, ensuring only the intended areas (hoof wall and frog) bear weight.
- Nail Hole Placement: It features North American-style nail hole positioning, with the holes moved out of the toe mechanics area to respect the natural hoof mechanism.
- Anatomical Shape: The shoe is anatomically shaped for optimal fit and balance, often available in specific left and right foot orientation
Recommended nails : Mustad CH5 or CH6 , Mustad Concave nail or E head nail
This showe is a therapeutic horseshoe designed to reduce pressure on the hoof wall and provide extra support to the internal structures of the hoof.Save this product for later
