#9 GCEH Egg Heart (3)

#9 GCEH X-Cel Egg Heart Bar (3)

Heart Bar Frog Support Series. In each shoe, the heart bar supports or stabilizes P3 through the frog. As a general rule, the point of the bar should be 1/4″ to 1/3″ behind the apex of the frog and in full but gentle contact with it. Frogs should be soft and pliable. Compression should not exceed 1/8″ of the frog.

These shoes should be applied with x-rays and the consent of a veterinarian.

Steve’s Hint: The Egg Heart (GCEH) with full support is a shoe for long pastern or under slung horses.
The Straight Heart Bar (GCSBH) is for horses with high heels or upright pasterns.
