A steel plate or bar that is cut to size and then welded between the ends of the branches of a horseshoe to creat a bar shoe. Three main types of bar shoe are recognised: straight bar, egg bar and heart bar. There are many other deviants of bar shoes but their form is derived from the main three.

A horseshoe in which the heels are joined together by a bar of metal. The shape of the connection between the heels gives the shoe its name e.g. egg bar, heart bar or straight bar. These shoes are often used in corrective or therapeutic farriery.

Barstock is the straight steel rod from which horseshoes are manufactured. The barstock comes in various sizes (sections) and profiles. A flat bar has a plain rectangular cross section and is used to make plain stamped shoes or (hand-) fullered shoes. To manufacture a shoe from barstock, the correct length first has to be calculated and cut off from the bar.

Barstock is the straight steel rod from which horseshoes are manufactured. The barstock comes in various sizes (sections) and profiles; flat or concave being the most common. Fullered barstock has a groove or crease along the entire length of the bar, which is known as the fullering in the finished shoe. Fullered concave is the most common bar for shoe-making in the UK.
