3 KERCKHAERT HORSESHOES STANDARDBRED Outer Rim Front This shape is referred to as the Standardbred because of its narrower, longer shape that is very typical of the Standardbred front foot. This aluminum shoe is proving to be a tough, well wearing shoe for Standardbred surfaces, but can also be used successfully with Thoroughbreds. The punching is slightly deeper to help get good nailing. Available unclipped or toe clipped with a 2mm toe grab. Shoes are symmetrical. Punched for 4-1/2 Race or 4-1/2 Slim. Unclipped - 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 Toe Clipped - 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 Outer Rim Hind While Kerckhaert s Outer Rim Hind is an ideal shape for Standardbreds, this aluminum shoe can also be used successfully on Thoroughbreds.

4 KERCKHAERT HORSESHOES STANDARDBRED Full & Half Swedge Unclipped For years the market had no choice in the Standardbred shoe market. The introduction of the Kerckhaert Swedges, made with a tough, durable steel is a dream come true for many. The shapes of the shoes are a significant improvement and the careful consideration seen in the nail placement and support in the heels are noticeable features. Punched for 4-1/2 Race, 4-1/2 Slim or 5 Race.

The support in the heel area, with a slightly wider lateral heel will increase the chances of keeping your horses sound. Excellent shape minimizes time spent on fitting shoes.

5 KERCKHAERT HORSESHOES STANDARDBRED 9/16" & 5/8" Half Round Front The Standardbred market has long relied on the half round style to train and race. The Kerckhaert design gives better heel support and a much more realistic nail pattern to help with the performance of the horse. The shape of the shoes minimizes the amount of work needed to get a good fit. High quality steel provides excellent wear and support for the foot. Shoes are symmetrical. Punched for 4-1/2 Race, 4-1/2 Slim or 5 Race. 9/16" Unclipped - 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 3.5, 4 5/8" Unclipped - 2, 3, 4 TDR (Half Round) Front The TDR is creased, giving good traction as well as the breakover it's famous for.

9 KERCKHAERT HORSESHOES RACE PLATES Synergy XT (2mm) The Synergy shoe is available with an XT insert only (2mm). This shoe eases problems that occur on synthetic surfaces as a result of too much traction; using beveled aluminum that comes to the top of the insert in front of the toe. Synergy XT Fronts and Hinds can be used on any track surface, including those requiring a toe grab of no more than 2mm. Hinds are also available with toe clips. Front and Hind - Unclipped - 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 Hind - Toe Clipped - 4, 5, 6, 7 Syntra Regular Toe The Syntra series is a unique Kerckhaert design, excellent for training and racing on dirt tracks; allowing easier breakover while still providing the traction needed for coming out of the gate. With beveled aluminum coming to the top of the insert in front of the toe grab and a rolled toe, this versatile shoe is also a good choice for racing on synthetic surfaces where a regular toe is allowed (5.5mm). This is a hind pattern with toe clip only. Hind - Toe Clipped - 4, 5, 6 Fast Break & Fast Break XT The Fast Break series is available with a flush toe insert or XT toe grab (2mm).

10 KERCKHAERT HORSESHOES RACE PLATES Tradition Series The Tradition series racing plates from Kerckhaert offer the North American market an option for shoeing styles and feet that require a narrower pattern than the Kings. The main design differences are the shape, a slight taper in the width from toe to heel, a nail pattern that is spread and punched slightly finer. This has met with a good response from farriers in the market. They are finding that the Tradition and the Kings shape have a place in their trucks due to the wider variations of front shaped feet.
