The sport hind bar horseshoe with frog support, combines the benefits of an egg bar and heart bar shoe. The extended heel surface gives extra support relieving shock problems and the frog support alleviates sore suspensory ligament issues.

The sport hind bar horseshoe from Jim Blurton mimics the unshod foot and optimises weight bearing throughout the foot. The shoe not only provides superior support for the horse but also gives the farrier many added benefits to make the fitting as simple and quick as possible. There are no welds in the shoe, ensuring there are no weak points. The shoe incorporates a roll toe and is safed off at the heel. Side clips are standard and they have counter sunk stud hole islands. Unique to these shoes they incorporate pitched nail holes providing a different angle for each nail making it easier to nail on.

Available as part of the Jim Blurton remedial horse shoe range, the sports hind bar shoe design was developed and tested at Jim’s forge in Mid Wales. It has been tested by some of the world’s leading farriers and equine experts, and is now available worldwide online. The sports hind bar shoe is available in a range of sizes, with a number of options including the sport hind bar – front shoe – side clipped.
