Natural Balance Steel Hind Shoe Clipped

The Steel Natural Balance Shoe™ is a wide-web, rolled toe shoe which offers maximum support to the hoof. The toe area on the foot side is seated out to eliminate sole contact beneath the tip of P-3. The toe portion also has greater mass which means more material for wear. The rim-shoe design helps to improve traction and will still allow the toe to wear back some as the foot grows longer. This will help maintain optimal P-3 and hoof wall orientation through a longer shoeing period.

The primary and secondary nail holes offer more options when nailing to poor quality feet. By having multiple nail hole choices, farriers can individualize left and right nailing patterns.

The forged steel, rim-shoe design helps to minimize the weight, yet offers durability for long lasting wear and better performance.

 

The Aluminum and Steel NBS are used for a wide variety of disciplines. Hunters, jumpers, dressage and eventing horses are among the largest group of users. An overwhelming number of Natural Balance Shoes™ are being used by reining and cutting horse riders and trainers. People participating in gaming and speed events report faster times, improved performance and little-to-no stumbling. Increasing numbers of NBS are used on the race track, again with great results. Endurance riders have been happy with the fact that their horses are not as fatigued, do not interfere and do not stumble. Now with the steel NBS, we are seeing that the improved shoe wear is helpful in this discipline as well.

 

When used in conjunction with a pad, frog insert and sole support impression material, minor chronic lameness problems can be treated.
