The ACR Full Rolling Straight Bar shoe facilitates anterior and collateral lever arms, making its use comfortable for the interphalangeal joints (Intense sport use or distal Interphalangeal injuries). Thanks to its bar, it reduces the collateral constraints and stabilizes the foot, which brings extra comfort to the horse, except contraindications to the flexor effect of the bar or to horses intolerant to the frog support. The bar relieves the podotrochlear apparatus conferring to this shoe a diplomatic effect.

Biomechanical Indications:

- Reduces collateral movement effort on collateral, distal, and proximal ligaments

- Reduces lateral, anterior, and posterior lever arms

- Corrects the ground contact area, increasing hoof stability on the ground

- Limits the heels’ thinking into the ground

- Increases the rear part of the foot’s contact area

- Provide frog support adapted to the height of the heels

- Solicit the absorber apparatus of the hoof

- Limits the shear effects on the heels

Prescription:

- Distal Interphalangeal arthritis

- Desmitis of collateral ligaments

- Podophylle pains due to the effects of the collateromotion

- Specific cases of distal interphalangeal pathologies

- Specific cases of tendinitis of the deep digital flexor tendon

The ACR Full Roll Straight Bar shoe facilitates anterior and collateral lever arms, making its use comfortabe for the interphalangeal joints (Intense sport use or distal Interphalangeal injuries). Thanks to its bar, it reduces the collateral constraints and stabilizes the foot, which brings extra comfort to the horse, except contraindications to the flexor effect of the bar or to horses  intolerant to the frog support. The bar relieves the podotrochlear apparatus conferring to this shoe a "diplomatic" effect.

The ACR 510 Egg Bar Wedge shoe is graduated from the toe to the heel (7mm thick at the toe and 15 mm at the heel), modifying the sagittal angle by approx 2°. Its relieved frog avoids overpressure. It is therefore recommended in some cases of tendinitis and advanced podotrochlear cases.

Biomechanical Indications:

The ACR "Diplomatic" Egg Bar shoe, due to its enlarged bar, allows a stabilization during the landing, limits the heels' sinking into the soft ground and increases the posterior lever arm. Its rolling toe facilitates breakover and limits pressure on the deep flexor tendon. Its shape (right and left, inside/outside ) optimizes its application.

Biomechanical Indications:

- The rear rolling motion reduces constraints on forward movement when the feet hit the ground

- Anterior rolling assists breakover

- Its covered bar allows a good support on soft ground

Prescriptions:

- Navicular syndrome

- Pain in the podotrochlear region

- Tendinitis of the carpal ligament or DDFT

- DDFT tendinitis

- Both orthopaedic and sport applications

The ACR Egg Bar Rolling Sport Shoe limits the heels' sinking into the ground and increases the posterior lever arm.The rolling toe facilitates breakover and limits pressure on the deep flexor tendon. The difference between the medial and lateral branches' bends optimizes the fit. Its wider web and fine punched nail holes at the toe make it possible to set the shoe well back while maintaining optimal nailing.

Biomechanical Indications:

- The rear rolling motion reduces constraints on forward movement when the feet hit the ground

- Its anterior rolling assists breakover

Prescriptions :

- Podotrochlear syndrome

- Pain in the podotrochlear region

- Tendinitis of the carpal ligament or DDFT

- DDFT tendinitis - Both orthopedic and sport applications

The ACR 800 Heart Bar Shoe provides excellent support for the frog by spreading pressure more widely. Its widely spaced nail holes let you free the toe by nailing the quarters. It provides a large contact area and optimal support for the third phalange. The quarter clips provide wall support if the toe is cut away. The tight heel bend allows for the laminitic foot's typical shape and facilitates application; the split in the heart bar lets you adjust the heel-to-heel distance. Its effect is increased by using a support silicone such as GlueU.

Biomechanical indications:

- Supports and protects the posterior region

- The wide-webbed toe protects the front of a foot sensitized by laminitis

- Rolling motion reduces pressure on the deep flexor tendon

Prescriptions:

- Acute or chronic laminitis

- Post-operative support shoeing (to avoid loss of balance)

- Hoof cracks or infection (spreads load bearing and ground contact area)

The ACR 2120 Hind "Diplomatic" Shoe with enlarged bar allows a stabilization during the landing phase and limits heels sinking into the soft ground. It tends to optimize the operation of the reciprocal apparatus, it is therefore indicated in a large number of hind limb pathologies and relieves some stifle pathologies. This Egg Bar shoe is also recommended on sickle-hocked horses with a pronounced laxity and/or a negative plantar angle.

Biomechanical Indications:

- Its rolling profile softens the heels landing phase

- Its beveled and chased branches improve heel penetration in soft ground while stance phase on the angles

- Its covered bar allows a good support in soft ground

- Increase ground support stability – eases the horse’s propulsion phase

Prescriptions:

- Coon-footed horses or laxe

-Depending on the horse conformation, this shoe can be indicated for some specific cases of suspensory pathologies

- In any case where an increase/stabilization of the stance phase is needed

- Negative palmar angle

- Relieves the stifle

- Improves hock conformation defaults

- Positive action on some specific cases of back pains

The ACR Hind Straight Bar shoe restores hoof balance upset by distortions of the coronet and the height of the hoof wall. It is very effective for overlapping and contracted heels, hoof cracks. It enables an optimal, uniform contact area to be maintained on soft ground, even when such contact has been eliminated to treat hoof cracks. Its short bar eases its application without biomechanics constrains It can be used for specific cases of lombalgia, inducing heel lift in static position. Interesting effects has been noted on forging horses. This shoe reduces the impact of the hinds forging on the front limbs.

Biomechanical Indications:

- Its bar limits the heel's sinking into soft ground

- Its profiled branches allow a smooth penetration of the quarters when working on the circle

- Its bar provides a good caudal support without length excess and stability during the propulsion phase

Prescription:

- Crushed heels / long toe

- Lack of support on the rear part of the foot

- Combination of sport and therapeutic uses

- Negative / reversed palmar angle

- Specific cases of back pains

- Horses with lateral rotating movement between the stance and extension phase (pivoting)
