MNC Vulcan Blenkinsop

The MNC Vulcan Blenkinsop is the steel version of the historic Blenkinsop early breakover shoe, a pattern introduced to the British Army in the 19th century and widely used in corrective and performance farriery to this day. The rolled toe design moves the breakover point forward, reducing the mechanical demand on the deep digital flexor tendon and the navicular apparatus during the propulsive phase of the stride. This makes the Blenkinsop a clinically useful shoe in a range of conditions including navicular syndrome, deep digital flexor tendon injuries, and cases where reducing breakover forces is part of the treatment plan. The Vulcan steel construction delivers reliable quality and consistent nail holes across the size range. A time-tested shoe with an important place in both the history of British farriery and in modern therapeutic practice.

Vulcan’s Blenkinsop rolled toe horseshoe is an early breakover shoe that follows a pattern introduced to the British Army in the latter half of the 19th century. The horse’s athletic movement is at the centre of this shoe’s design. Drawing on solid principles, the Blenkinsop horseshoe moves the fulcrum point of the toe back naturally towards the centre of the hoof and follows normal wear patterns to allow the foot to leave the ground faster than with a convential toe.
