Best Shoes for the Job:
Kerckhaert Half Round Plain

Used on the front of many Trotters in training and racing. It is also used on Pacers in front during early stages of training. Some successful trainers use the half-round shoe on the front and rear feet to break (train) their yearlings. Their theory is the half-round helps maintain soundness.
