The Equi-Librium Steel Front Shoe by Mustad is expertly engineered to support the athletic demands of modern sport horses. Developed through extensive biomechanical research, it features an advanced break-over design that promotes efficient, natural foot movement while minimising stress on tendons and joints. Made from high-quality steel, this shoe delivers strength, longevity and reliable wear resistance, ideal for horses in racing, show jumping, eventing or intense daily training. Its front-specific anatomical profile ensures optimal fit, with a rolled toe that supports smoother break-over and helps maintain soundness. Wide heels provide improved support and shock absorption, while strategically placed clips offer enhanced stability without restricting natural hoof mechanics. Available in sizes 1F, 2F, 3F and 4F, this shoe accommodates a range of Thoroughbred and sport-horse hoof shapes.
Usage
Target Species: Horses (especially sport horses, performance horses, and Thoroughbreds)
Application: Ideal for horses in disciplines requiring agility, speed and joint protection, including show jumping, eventing, endurance, trotters and general sport performance.
Method:
Select the correct front-foot size (1F, 2F, 3F or 4F) based on the horse’s hoof measurements and farrier assessment.
Prepare the hoof with standard trimming, achieving proper balance and level landing surface.
Fit the shoe, ensuring correct alignment with the natural hoof shape and secure it with appropriate horseshoe nails.
Check the break-over point and heel support before final clinching.
After each shoeing cycle, inspect wear patterns and adjust size or clip placement as needed.
Frequency:
Suitable for each regular farrier shoeing cycle, especially during periods of heavy training or competition.
Monitor shoe wear and replace when thinning, distortion or excessive toe wear becomes visible.
