E-Nails: The All-Round Classic

Standard E-Nails

Classic yet efficient: E-Nails are among the most commonly used models in traditional British shoeing. With their rectangular, V-shaped head, they seat well in V-fullered shoes and penetrate clearly, exiting at the bearing edge or sidewall.

Available in sizes E1 to E10, they cover everything from small ponies (E1–E2) to heavy horses (E8–E10), with mid-range sizes (E4–E6) for riding or sport horses.

  • Ideal for standard or leisure horseshoeing
  • Wide range of sizes (E1 to E10)
  • Great balance between strength and usability

E-slim Nails: Precision and Finesse

The E-slim is based on the classic E design but features a slimmer shank for gentler and more precise driving.

While the E nail offers robust anchoring, the E-slim reduces pressure on the hoof wall — perfect for sensitive hooves.

  • Lower risk of cracks or overloading
  • Ideal for young horses, sport horses, or narrow feet

Extra Slim Nails: For the Most Delicate Cases

Even finer than E-slim, Extra Slim nails offer ultra-precise penetration — ideal for extremely sensitive or narrow hooves. A top choice for farriers who demand maximum finesse and control.

Recommended for transitional or therapeutic shoeing

FJ Nails with Short Neck: Compact and Efficient

The short-necked FJ nail is perfect for thinner shoes, lower nail placement, or fine horn quality. Its compact design reduces leverage on the hoof wall and provides discreet aesthetics.

  • Low exit point for a clean finish
  • Reduced leverage means less stress on the hoof wall
  • Improved comfort for the horse

JC Nails: Robust and Stable

Our square-headed JC nails have a longer neck and are built for strength — ideal for horses that require extra hold.

  • Great for draft horses or trail riding
  • Stable on muddy or sandy terrain
  • Secure, reinforced fit

City Nails with Flat Head: Traditional and Effective

City nails with a flat head are classic in American shoeing. They work especially well with horseshoes that have U-shaped fullers — wide and flat grooves on the sole side.

  • Quick and easy to apply
  • Good hold on flat horseshoes
  • Popular among North American farriers
