Z Bar Wide Aluminum Shoes

The Colleoni Z Bar shoes are a precision-made aluminum horseshoe from Italy designed to offload specific regions of the hoof while maintaining overall support and balance. The unique Z-shaped branch configuration allows farriers to relieve pressure from medial or lateral quarters, toe, or heels—making it a trusted therapeutic tool for targeted hoof care.

Z bar horseshoes are commonly used in cases where part of the hoof wall or sole cannot bear weight, such as quarter cracks, hoof wall resections, keratomas, abscess recovery, or localized trauma. The Colleoni Z Bar provides stable support to the unaffected structures while completely unloading the compromised area, allowing for proper healing and protection.

Key Features:

• Z-shaped design to offload specific hoof areas

• Precision-machined for balance and ease of fitting

• Available in various sizes for front and hind limb use
