### HALL OF FAME TOPPER: KERCKHAERT DF HIND

This popular hind shoe has a nice drop-on fit that effortlessly responds to the hoof characteristics. The Kerckhaert asymmetrical fit with left and right creases, coarseness and nail holes according to the natural shape of the hoof hardly need adjustments at the anvil.  The well-known Radius clip on this horseshoe tapers nicely with plenty of material at the base.
