Blurton Steel Heart Bars

Steel Therapeutic Heart Bar Shoe

Blurton Steel Heart Bars are therapeutic heart-bar shoes designed to offer maximum support to the foot and coffin bone, while giving the farrier a superbly balanced, easy-to-fit shoe.

Designed for horses with laminitis or flat feet, as part of a farrier and veterinary treatment plan, the shoe mimics the unshod foot by restoring the frog and wall to a natural pattern of weight bearing.

Made from steel and sold by the pair.

Coffin Bone Support

The support the heart bar offers the coffin bone is crucial for recovery and realignment in the laminitic foot.

Farrier-Friendly Fitting

The shoe incorporates a rolled toe and is safed off at the heel. Side clips are standard, there are countersunk positions for stud holes, and uniquely pitched nail holes provide a different angle for each nail, making it easier to nail on.

• Horses with laminitis
