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

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?

1. maybe a fish tackle store?
2. Call the local trade schools in your area. They have a machine shop that will be able to make exactly what you are looking for.
   
   
   
   The benefit of going to a trade school is that you do not pay for the labor, just the raw materials.
   
   
   
   A local blacksmith/iron worker will be able to do the same thing. Although, you will be paying a bit more...
