Horseshoes with Wide Toe – Targeted Relief for the Extensor Tendon

Horseshoes with a wide toe are specially designed for orthopedic applications. They provide targeted support to the front part of the hoof and help relieve strain on the extensor tendon (musculus extensor digitorum longus), which runs along the front of the forelimb or hindlimb.

Key Benefits for Therapy and Prevention

  • Wide toe for stabilizing the toe wall
  • Shifted breakover point to reduce tension on the extensor tendon
  • Supports the front hoof area without restricting natural hoof mechanics

Ideal for rehabilitation, prevention, and biomechanical correction.

Technical Features

  • Material: High-quality steel or aluminum (depending on model)
  • Design: Wide toe with optimized breakover zone
  • Application: Front or hind hooves, left or right side

Typical Use Cases

  • After tendon injuries in the front limb or hindlimb
  • In cases of tendon overload or irritation
  • For support after hoof wall damage
  • In orthopedic farriery to adjust the breakover point
  • As a complement to veterinary treatment for biomechanical issues

Proper Application Is Essential

Note: Use only under the guidance of a veterinarian or experienced farrier. Proper fit and individual adjustment are key to therapeutic success.
