Where can you find flat weights like those used in horse racing?

Dex Midnite asked:


I’m specifically looking for the flat weights they add to racehorse’s blankets for handicaps. Does anyone know where you can purchase these? They don’t necessarily have to be the same kind used for horse racing because that’s not what I plan to use them for. I just need flat rectangular weights, preferrably in 5lb increments.
I’ve checked numerous tack websites, and I can’t find them. Any ideas?
