T

A horseshoe that only covers 3/4 of the lenth of the bearing edge, ending half way down the inner or outer branch. The purpose of this shoe was originally to prevent interference between the medialheel and the opposite limb. Traditionally used in the racing industry but its benefits are anecdotal.

A three-quarter bar shoe is a closed shoe with a bar supporting one heel and the frog while excluding the other heel and region. This type of shoe is used to unload the side of a hoof affected with a corn, an injury or a localised inflammatory process in sole at the site of the corn.
