About Kerckhaert

Since 1916, a tradition with future
Kerckhaert is the world's largest independent manufacturer of horseshoes. To achieve its premier position, the company has always upheld its core values: total commitment to dealers and uncompromising product innovation and quality since it was first founded in The Netherlands in 1916.

Managed by four generations of the Kerckhaert family, the company has always maintained its lead not only by never failing to recognize market changes, but also setting trends for others to follow. The first major change came when the motor vehicle redefined the horse as a sports and recreational animal instead of a primary means of transportation. Kerckhaert was first to respond to this change by extending its range of products to suit the needs of the sports enthusiast. Today, with more than 900 different styles in the Kerckhaert product range, and with new horseshoes being continuously introduced, Kerckhaert remains the leader in the field.
