Z-Bar Shoeing Demonstrates Potential for Long-Term Foot Pain Management during an Exercise Training Regimen in a Show Jumping Pony with Uniaxial Palmar Pain

Figure 3

The application of the z-bar shoe on the affected right front hoof. The hoof was trimmed and rasped before fitting with the z-bar shoe (a, b). A non-weight-bearing portion was created on the medial side of the shoe base on the local anaesthesia area (yellow arrow) (c, d). Hoof conformation was adjusted bilaterally to increase the hoof angle and improve the hoof-pastern axis position (d).
