What Liberty users experience

Peter has been using Liberty CU hoof nails from the start and sees only benefits from them.
'I see a huge difference in maintaining and preserving healthy hooves. It is a much healthier way of working and prevents infections. When taking the shoe off, you can still see that the copper is actively present.'

Peter Peers

Farrier | United Kingdom

Derek is a big fan of the Liberty Carrera Secure and uses the Cu variant of the nail. 
'It is a great nail. It nails perfectly and it doesn't move. I use the Cu nail, because I am convinced that if you can do something to eliminate a problem, you use it. If it saves one horse out of thousand, it is worth the use.'

Derek Poupard

Farrier | USA

Ed likes to use the Liberty FJ1 horseshoe nail:
"My favourite nail is the Liberty FJ1 as it's a small nail which is very strong and drives up the hoof accurately."

about Liberty

Designed and made by Royal Kerckhaert

Introduced in 2010, Liberty claimed its place in the market with its innovative, uncompromising hoof nails. This Kerckhaert brand is fully committed to the very best quality in design and material, as well as innovative designs such as the CU Shield Technology programme.

All hoof nail designs start with the question of how they can work even better and more effectively. This combined with experiences of farriers and innovative developments makes Liberty state-of-the-art hoof nails. The focus is on the long-lasting and optimal hoof quality of the horse, but also on the farrier's work. Each Liberty hoof nail has exactly that specific shape, nail angle, sharpness and smoothness to slide into the hoof wall with minimal damage. The optimal hardness of the steel ensures a solid hoof nail that still remains flexible during nailing.
