ALU KINGS PLATE EXTRA SOUND Unclipped Front (pair)

ALU KINGS PLATE EXTRA SOUND is regarded as the favorite aluminium race plate by farriers abd trainers worldwide. The front shoe has the ideal shape for the modern thoroughbred racehorse. The toe conforms to the natural shape of the hoof making it easy to fit. The wider section offers more cover and support to the hoof while the rounded edges, reduce the risk of injuries or loosing shoes. The patented sole relief reduces pressure and concussion to the sole when the hoof is under extreme stress while galloping. The unique scooped concave section designed by Kerckhaert gives better grip as the shoe cuts into the surface. The scoop at the toe, is more defined at the toe, while it becomes flatter as it comes round to the quarters. The coarseness of the nail holes matches perfectly the natural thickness of the hoof wall. The hind shoes continues to be the easiest aluminium plate to fit. The outside branch is slightly longer and wider for better cover and support, but the inside branch is tapered for close fitting to avoid brushing. The wider section not only gives more cover but gives much better shoe wear. That is why it is Extra Sound!
