Hoof Rasps are a must-have tool for all farriers. Using a hoof rasp enables the farrier to keep the horse’s hooves even and level. It is used to finish a trim by rasping off any extra hoof and rounding up the edges. It can also be used to rasp down nails and hoof wall where needed. Once the foot has been trimmed to the right length, it needs to be evened out and made level, and the edges of the hoof rounded slightly so the hoof doesn’t catch on anything. The rasp also gets used at the end of a shoe job to smooth out nails and make sure that the edges of the hoof exactly meet the edges of the horseshoe.
