A partial or temporary shoe worn on the front part of a horse's hoof, or a shoe designed to cover only the forepart of the human foot.
Combining 'fore-' (front, forward) and 'shoe' (footwear). This term appears in farrier (horseshoe maker) terminology and historical footwear descriptions, though it's quite rare in modern usage.
Blacksmiths and farriers have an incredible range of specialized horseshoe types, and the foreshoe represents a practical solution—sometimes you only need to protect or treat the front part of a horse's hoof, so you'd shoe just that section, saving metal and the horse's comfort!
