Especially for Islandic sport horses plates for gaited horses are available in sizes of 120 mm and 130 mm (with a thickness of 4.9 mm). These kinds of farrier supplies have been created whilst taking most established sports regulations into account. In comparison with conventional plastic plates, they have the advantage that due to recesses in the frog area a pad can be positioned without slipping while also providing minimal wear, thus spearing the heels.
Recesses in the frog area allow the postioning of pads without slipping. Dallmer’s proven material provides minimum wear on the heels. The desired hoof protection can be placed most accurately as the gaited plates are made out of see-through material.
