In my opinion an egg bar shoe is not an orthopaedic shoe. It falls into the corrective shoe category. It's main use is for collapsed and under-run heels and in the early stages of navicular. These conditions are acquired throughout the life of the animal. Orthopaedic shoes, in my opinion are moreso used for congenital deformities eg. lateral/medial lifts and extensions.
When the collapsed heels are rectified a normal shoe may be applied to the hoof thereafter. Therefore an egg bar shoe is a corrective shoe applied to correct a problem and not an orthopaedic shoe, needed on a longterm basis, to allow the horse to move optimally.
a horse would throw a shoe when it hasn't had its feet checked by the farrier in six weeks. the nails in the shoe would get loose and if the horse galloped around and stepped on a hard surface the shoe could fall off.
Not unless you are an idiot. A horse's hoof is shaped like the shoe. Putting a horse's shoe on backwards is like putting your own shoe on the wrong foot.
The shoe horn is a lever that helps a user put shoes on more easily. It supports the back of the shoe from getting crushed.
That is not another word for shoe it means something different

An orthopedic horse shoe is a shoe that is modified from the original U shaping of the shoe. This can include egg-bar, rolled-toe, or even heart bar shoes.
This is an oval shaped shoe and is usually used on horses with pre-navicular and navicular disease. The frog is not supported, as the bar extends behind it
This is Howrse test #5. The answer is heel piece.
it s a bar under a SB for Shoe Bar
A bar shoe is a variety of horseshoe with a bar across the usual opening of the heel.
For men with bone spurs, a good orthopedic shoe would be Brooks Men's Control. For women, New Balance makes a really supportive shoe for this problem.
Before purchasing an orthopedic shoe, make sure the heel is firm and the width is wide enough for your toes. Most orthopedic shoes will come with the option of removable inner soles.
Only if you are severely diabetic or the shoe is attached to an orthotic brace/device.
When horses have something wrong with their hooves and sometimes even their legs, people will use orthopedic shoes to correct the problem. An alternative to orthopedic shoe is barefoot trimming, which returns the hoof to a natural state, and a natural state is a healthy state. But some people still use orthopedic shoeing because they do not know about the harm of shoes and that the success rate of barefoot trimming rehab is higher than orthopedic shoeing.
