Meister Hufeisen The Meister is wider at the toe and in the heel area where the foot needs the most support, the branches are narrower so that they are more easily modified. The Kerckhaert Meister is a series designed and made for the German market; therefore, the sizing is different. The number on the Meister shoe is two sizes larger than normal Kerckhaert sizing for riding shoes. In addition, the mark on the Meister shoe is a "D" instead of the "K" you find on the regular Kerckhaert shoe. Meister Fronts are symmetrical. Punched for E-head. Meister Sizing »

BELLOTA

RASPS

Bellota Rasps, Files and Tools The Bellota brand has been a leader in the North American market since the early 80’s. We are pleased to offer these products through our farrierproducts™ dealers.

Bellota Top Sharp Rasp The aggressive design of the file side on the Top Sharp lets you get in and get out with maximum results.

Bellota Classic Rasp The smooth cut of the classic file side is the best choice for a smooth finish.

Bellota Razor Rasp Like its name implies, the rasp side of the Razor offers an extreme cut when compared to other Bellota rasps, while the file side is also coarser. This 14” rasp incorporates a tooth design to reduce clogging and to retain its sharpness.

Bellota Raptor Rasp The extra width of this rasp – 1/2" wider than other Bellota Rasps – provides a greater cutting surface. The 14" Raptor features a maximum cut on the rasp side; with a coarse cut on the file side.

TUNGSTEN AND fp™

TRACTION PRODUCTS Tungsten Pins

V-Trak Nails

Drive-In Studs

Drive-In Studs and Tungsten Carbide Pins For those situations when you need only enough traction to prevent sliding or slipping on hard surfaces, Tungsten Carbide Pins, Drive-In Studs and Vector V-Trak nails are very simple to apply. Simply drill with a 17/64" bit and seat the tapered shaft of the stud into the hole. It’s amazing how much confidence your horses will gain when on blacktop or concrete. The studs should also give good traction for trail riding in terrain with large rocky footing. 50 pieces per pack. As with the Drive-In Studs, you seat the tapered shaft of the pin into the hole. Holes may be drilled in toe or heel of the shoe. Installation requires the use of a #15 Drill Bit (11/64”) that is included with every package of 100 pins. Vector V-Trak are available in sizes 4-1/2 Race, 5 City, 6 City and E-4 Slim. Packed in 100 piece plastic boxes.

Countersink Drill Bit This German-made Countersink Drill Bit is receiving very positive comments from farriers who are using it. The overall length of the bit is 3-1/4”. With the shorter bit there is less chance of breakage compared to longer bits. For use with a 3/8" tap. Excellent for both 8 mm and 10 mm shoes.
