Safety Trackx & Outer Rim

Safety Trackx

This Rim is 4mm and the toe insert is flush with the Rim, making it legal. These shoes have a wider outside heel, so they are left and right. They are marked and banded together in pairs, like all Kerckhaert race plates. A lot of farriers don’t like the Outer Rim for Thoroughbreds because the 3.5 race nails sit below the rim and are harder to clinch; however, they are an option. We found the Liberty 4.5 Race and Carrera Small and Medium nails sit up slightly higher, reducing the clinching problem. The current Standardbred Outer Rims are also 4mm but they have a toe insert that is slightly above the rim, so without wear or grinding, they are technically not compliant. These outer rims can be another option for farriers that do not want to grind Regular Toe hinds.

Outer Rim - Front

We refer to this shape 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, good wearing shoe for the Standardbred surfaces, but can also be used successfully with Thoroughbreds. The punching is also 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.

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. It has a strong toe clip, unique surface finish with sole relief and a 2mm toe grab. Shoes are symmetrical.

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