  Our most popular, general use shoes are Clarke Horseshoes. The 'Pro-hack' is a unique design providing a wider web shoe with great tensile strength. The Clarke 'Hack' is a slightly more narrow shoe that has been a company stalwart for medium level competition. The Clarke 'Campdrafter' is a special design steel shoe with the dual purpose requirement of the campdrafter. Clarke manufactures a wide range of 'Yearling' shoes fullered for ease in application to the smaller yearling foot.

  Our farrier shop is the exclusive Australian distributor for Sigafoos shoes. These shoes are glue-on, using a strong adhesive resin to adhere to the hoof. The Sigafoos Series of shoes are cleared for racing in all states as "Special Equipment". They are suitable for a wide range of hoof abnormalities as well as thin soles and nail riddled walls.

  The Sigafoos Series I shoe is available as a Victory Elite Plate as well as Queens Plate. The shoe is easy to apply and is cold workable for a comfortable, secure fit. The Series II shoe allows for a custom design that may require any variety of bar, wedge or tread. Both Series I and II are sold in 'Kit' form and are available from MVH Farrier's shop or through one of our distribution centres.

  The Dalric cuff is a plastic moulded shoe that can be applied to all horses. Foal cuffs, for foals 2 weeks to six months of age, are available for assisting in correction of Angular and Flexoral limb deformities. Other Dalric Cuffs are available for various hoof wall maladies, post surgical application and therapeutics. Further information is available in Nanric.com's online catologue.

  The Victory 'Elite' Plate is a wider webbed, heavier, more durable aluminium shoe. They are available in flats, 2 degree wedge and 3 degree wedged heel. They are great for that performance horse that requires extra support, or more heel using a lighter shoe that still has reasonable wear characteristics.

  Natural Balance are available in steel and aluminium.

  We stock a wide range of Apple and Victory Racing Plates.

  We stock Derby, Mustad and Australian horseshoe nails.

  As a hoof growth supplement, we use and recommend Retread hoof powder (biotin based) for improving hoof growth and assisting in therapeutic recovery from hoof injury.

  We also stock Vettec products. These polyurethane bonding adhesives and pad materials have a proven track record in assisting therapeutic farrier techniques. Super Fast is used for creating foal extensions or is used to repair damaged hoof walls. Equi-pak, is used an Instant Pad material to protect and cushion the horses sole for any number of reasons and applications. Adhere is an adhesive material used for hoof wall repair and attachment of certain shoe types under controlled conditions.
