Mustad FJ Nail

The Mustad FJ nail is a modern, purpose-designed nail built around the specific demands of racing farriery. With a slender shank, short neck, and low-profile head, the FJ is engineered to sit neatly within thin race shoe designs without adding unnecessary bulk. The fluid geometry of the nail, with smooth transitions at every junction, helps the FJ drive cleanly and consistently even through lightweight aluminium plates. It offers a reliable, secure fit in the shoe crease and achieves a clean clinch without excessive hoof wall stress. Well suited to flat racing, National Hunt, and point-to-point horses, the FJ is a staple nail for farriers working regularly on racehorses where speed, precision, and minimal hoof impact are the priorities.

FJ is a modern nail with slender shank, short neck and low head. All the junctions in the nail are fluid in form. The nail is perfect for horseshoeing racing horses, among other things because it offers a perfect fit for thinner horseshoe designs. In addition to racers, trotters and wild horses can be reliably and safely shod using FJ nails.
