When Lubbock, Texas, farrier Burney Chapman reintroduced the heart-bar shoe, Pennsylvania farrier Steve Teichman was among the many who listened intently.

Over the years, the heart bar became Teichman’s go-to shoe, both in his private hoof-care practice and as the farrier for the U.S. Equestrian Team. Teichman explains the situations when he used the heart bar, why its importance endures and how he applies this revolutionary appliance.
