###  WINNING NAIL: LIBERTY CARRERA SECURE

The Liberty Carrera Secure racing nail has the same unique properties as all Carrera horseshoe nails. In addition, the head of the nail is wider, so the race plate lasts longer. There is just enough space between the nails in the crease so that you can remove them easily and safely. 

- Larger nail head for better wear resistance of the race plate  
- Unique, patented neck design  
- Sufficient space between the nail heads for easy removal  
- Fits perfectly in the crease and nail holes of the race plate, regardless of the size  
- Super slim shank, reduces damage to the hoof wall
