What Nail Types Are Available?
Steel Nails
Steel horseshoe nails are the most common variety. As the standard material used for producing nails, steel also tends to offer the most variety in nail type.
Copper Coated Horseshoe Nails
Copper coated nails offer enhanced resistance to rust and minimise oxidation in the nail holes. This leads to improved nail longevity and promotes overall hoof health.
Endura Coated Nails
Exclusive to the Mustad horseshoe nail range, Endura coating provides a 30% improvement in strength and is designed for extreme conditions and high performance horses. Endura coated horseshoe nails do not leave oxidation marks and are ideal for situations where reducing hoof wall damage is key.
