The Natural Balance Shoe™ is used for a wide variety of disciplines. Hunters, jumpers, dressage and other eventing horses are among the largest group of users. Very positive feedback is received from reining and cutting horse riders and trainers as well. People participating in gaming and speed events report faster times and improved performance. We are starting to see a large number NBS used on the race track with great results for training. Endurance riders are highly encourage by the fact that their horses are not as fatigued and don't stumble. Lastly, when used in conjunction with a pad, frog insert and impression material, minor chronic lameness problems can be treated. NBS Materials The Natural Balance Shoe™ is made of a forged alloy aluminum that has been heat-treated. Because it has already been heat-treated, we recommend that you do not heat the shoe to shape it. However, since the shoes are aluminum, shaping them cold is rather easy (that is, if they need to be altered at all). This particular combination of heat treatment and alloy aluminum allows for light, yet durable construction, leading to optimal performance
NBS Design The Natural Balance Shoe™ is a wide web, rolled toe-designed shoe, which offers maximum support to the hoof. The toe area on the foot side is seated out to minimize sole pressure. The toe portion of the shoe is reinforced and offers more mass to supply more material for wear. There is no wear plate in the shoe, therefore the toe can wear back as the foot grows longer. This allows the foot to stay in "Natural Balance™" for a longer time through the reset period, plus the individual position of breakover can be determined by the horse. The steep shoulders of the shoe between the heels will help hold ground material in the heel region to offer caudal support to the frog and digital cushion. *These horseshoes have been patented by Gene Ovnicek in U.S. Patent No. 5,727,633 and by David M. Duckett in U.S. Patent Nos. 5,165,481 and 5,368,104.Available in pairs or mixed pair boxes of 15 pairs. move with the times, place your order now! want to find out more about Natural Balance |
The
Natural Balance Shoe™ (NBS) addresses the biomechanical needs of the equine
foot for support and protection in a domestic environment. This shoe offers the
horse the most natural foundation for optimal performance with minimal stress.
The special NBS design, along with a few suggested hoof preparation guidelines,
will help prevent hoof capsule distortions. Displacement of P-3 within the hoof
capsule will not occur when the hoof preparation and shoe placement directions
are followed. Those feet that are previously distorted usually regain their
Natural shape.
