Open-Toed laminitis Horseshoes
The design of our open-toed horseshoe facilitates an early breakover, reducing leverage forces in the toe area of the hoof. The front bar of the open toe shoe mimics the dorsal rim of P3 , preventing painful punctual pressure when correctly placed. With an integrated synthetic grid sole, our open-toed horseshoes can be used with liquid or kneadable padding material. The advantage of the grid is that as any spare padding material can exit through the grid's holes. These models can be a good choice for rehab or laminitis cases, as the horseshoes can be adjusted to the individual hoof shape.

- Open Toe Horseshoe with Integrated Grid Sole: Experience optimal functionality without any additional equipment.
- Clipped Open Toe Horseshoe with Integrated Grid Sole: Enhanced with clips to prevent twisting on the hoof, providing added stability.
- Clipped and Threaded Open Toe Horseshoe with Integrated Grid Sole: All open toe horseshoes feature a slightly profiled bottom surface, making them inherently relatively slip-resistant. However, in specific situations, additional traction might be needed; for this purpose we offer an open-toed horseshoe with stud holes. Remember to review our safety guidelines when using studs with the open toe horseshoe and have a look at the detailed product description of the studs.
The open-toed horseshoes can be applied as a nail-on or glue-on horseshoes as well as cast shoe . If you are using the open-toed horseshoe as a glue-on shoe, please make sure that none of the padding material exits at the side and touches the glue-on tabs — otherwise, the glued connection may be damaged.
While we are ready to offer guidance on our open toe horseshoes and their application, it's crucial to highlight that no remote conversation can substitute for an on-site assessment of the horse and its unique situation; in particular in case of chronic laminitis.
When using our open-toed horseshoes, please pay attention to our Safety Information. Our products are not intended to diagnose or cure any medical condition. Nevertheless, the targeted application of a composite shoe, in coordination with the farrier and/or veterinarian, for example as part of therapeutic hoof care, can support the recovery process. If you intend to use the open-toed horseshoe for the treatment of chronic laminitis, we strongly recommend participating in a training course and cooperating with the responsible veterinarian.
