8. THORO'BRED, INC.

Offering 360-degree support, the Thoro'Bred-Halverson egg bar shoe is excellent for horses suffering from chronic lameness. This is not a machined shoe, but a forged shoe with a steel toe insert. The difference is that forging compresses the molecules, creating a tougher, longer-wearing product. Nail holes are countersunk so the nail heads are embedded in these size 0 to 3 shoes. Contact Thoro'Bred, Inc., 714/779-2581 or 800/854- 6059. Fax: 714/779-1582. E-mail: thoro@pacbell.net. Web site: www.horseshoes.com/thorobred.
