St Croix Advantage Aluminium 3° Wedged Front

Aluminium 3° Wedge Front Shoes

The St. Croix Advantage Aluminium 3° Wedged Front is a lightweight aluminium front shoe with an integrated 3-degree wedge, designed specifically for the demands of the sport horse.

Developed with input from experienced farriers, the Advantage range is designed to provide a practical and versatile shoeing option for sport and performance horses.

This model is designed for the front feet and features side clips with a US-style U-shaped nail punch. Sold as a pair.

Integrated 3° Wedge

Unlike a traditional flat horseshoe of relatively consistent thickness, the Advantage Wedge gradually increases in height towards the heel. This creates an integrated 3-degree wedge, allowing the farrier to alter hoof elevation where appropriate as part of an individual shoeing plan, and eliminates the need for a separate wedge pad where the farrier determines this shoe is suitable.

Lightweight Aluminium Construction

Aluminium provides a lightweight alternative to traditional steel horseshoes and is commonly selected for sport and performance horses where reduced shoe weight and responsive movement are desirable.

Side Clips & US-Style Punch

The integrated side clips provide additional stabilisation of the shoe on the hoof and can assist in maintaining accurate shoe placement. The US-style U-shaped nail punch provides familiar nail positioning for farriers accustomed to this style of shoe.

Built for the Sport Horse

The St. Croix Advantage Aluminium 3° Wedge combines lightweight aluminium with integrated heel elevation, side clips and a sport-focused design for a practical professional shoeing option.

The suitability of a wedged shoe and the appropriate degree of hoof elevation should be determined by a qualified farrier or veterinarian based on the individual horse's hoof conformation, soundness and biomechanical requirements.
