Don't know if anyone answered your question, but "NBS"
are "Natural Balance Shoes", see:

I'm no farrier, but NBS would no doubt do (more or less)
the same thing as you did for your mare. NBS have a rolled
toe and are set back on the foot - which makes for a faster
breakover so by the time the back foot reaches forward to
pull the front shoe off, the front foot is already gone.
Does that make any sense?
