DEF

A special oval-shaped horseshoe designed to help problem hooves.

CONT

Unlike standard shoes, the egg-bar shoe provides support beneath the heel, which is especially beneficial when a horse has navicular disease, collapsed heels, underrun hooves, and flat soles.... Egg-bar shoes are also used to give more support on soft ground. However, if your horse is wearing these shoes, do not turn him out into a muddy area. Mud, manure, straw and other debris easily collect inside the egg-bar shoe.
