Standardbred 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. A 2 mm toe grab is included. Shoes are symmetrical.

Punched for 4-1/2 Race nail.
