the all-round horseshoe collection with a shoeing solution for each individual horse
Build on innovative family traditions
At Kerckhaert a horseshoe is never just a horseshoe… It is the embodiment of a vision, a family tradition of four generations innovative horseshoe development. The heart of the DF horseshoe is still the design of founder and great-grandfather Honoré Kerckhaert. New techniques, insights and experiences of farriers gave and still give the needed innovations to answer the present and professional demands of the farrier. Each horseshoe in the DF Collection wants to give the professional farrier comfort in his work and the horse the best care.

‘I love this horseshoe because it has a very nice section and clip. The shape is very good as a beginning to shoe a horse. Also the Liberty Hybrid nails have a perfect fit in the shoe.’
Marti Surinyach
Farrier | Barcelona, ES
‘I'm using DF horseshoes now for 10 years and I love the ease of use. There's good balance, nail holes, creases etc. The shoeing remains stable during the entire period.'

The DF has a nice shape and an optimal clip. There is no space between clip and hoof, front as well as hind. The nail holes are optimal divided and placed.

"The DF range is my favourite: good clips, good nail holes, good heel shape. And when you shoe young sport horses, you can fit perfectly cold which is a massive benefit. And then you can introduce the warm shoeing later."

Perfect match
Liberty Hybrid Cu
The Liberty Hybrid horseshoe nails are a perfect fit with the DF horseshoes. This nail - available in traditional steel and with Cu Shield Technology - is characterised by its innovative design. Extra length, strength, sharpness and smoothness ensure a comfortable and precise shoeing with less damage to the hoof wall.
