Description

Hoof rasps are a great tool for removing dead skin cells from the hooves of horses. You can use them on your own horse's hooves, or even on those of your dog or cat if they have sensitive skin.The blade is what actually scrapes off the dead skin. There are many different types of blades, including flat, round, and triangular. Flat blades are best suited for scraping away thick layers of dead skin and thin layers of dead skin at once.A clean hoof surface minimizes the chance of infection, makes it easier to trim, and your trimming tools are less likely to dull. A hoof rasp will help you file down the sharp edges on the hoof that can be left after trimming.
