Halfround and Swedges

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.

Full & Half Swedge Hind Toe Clipped

The clipped version of the Kerckhaert Full and Half Swedge offer additional security for the shoeing cycle. The strong toe clip of these shoes will help avoid the problems of shoes sliding back while in performance or in the stall. 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.

Punched for 4-1/2 Race, 4-1/2 Slim or 5 Race.

9/16" and 5/8" Half Round

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. A 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.
