The Duplo Horseshoe can be nailed on with the same nails as a conventional horseshoe; the only important aspect is that the nail head cannot slip through the nail hole of the horseshoe. Apart from that, the usual questions should be considered: How thick is the hoof wall? How intensely is the connection between hoof and horseshoe strained? How is the horse used?

Anyway: Most farriers have their "favorite nails". Some brands are available in our online shop - maybe yours as well?

E Nails and VF-F Nails

• frequently used nail version for many hooves and many situations
• very well suited for Duplo Horseshoes

E-Slim Nails (ESL) and VFPro Nails

• slimmer blade than E and VF-F nails
• lower risk of creating fissures (thanks to the slimmer blade, less horn is displaced; that's why the probability of chips and cracks in the hoof wall around the nail canal is reduced)
• more difficult to use because they deform easily

Copper Nails

• copper-coated
• antibacterial effect

Please note: This size table only offers rough orientation. Depending on the hoof and the situation, another combination may be more suitable. The final decision is at the local farrier's discretion.
