The Simple Rasp enables horse owners to enhance the quality and care of their horses' hooves. It can be safely used to control flare, round or roll the edge of the hoof wall (also known as a mustang roll), and maintain a quick breakover between professional trims. This tool is designed to allow the horse’s hoof to be held to the side and in one hand, similar to the way you would pick out the feet, making it much safer and more user-friendly than a conventional rasp.
One significant concern for horse owners using traditional rasps is the risk of removing too much hoof wall, which can compromise the hoof capsule. With the Simple Rasp, there’s no danger of this occurring, allowing horse owners to confidently attend to their horses' feet without the fear of causing damage. Every barefoot horse owner understands the importance of keeping the hoof balanced and maintaining a rolled edge. The Simple Rasp facilitates this, enabling owners to preserve the hoof's correct shape and extend the time between professional trims.
By properly maintaining the hoof (ideally in consultation with a hoof care professional), the hoof can grow and strengthen more consistently, dramatically reducing the time needed to rectify abnormalities like flare. A well-rolled edge is crucial for preventing chips and splits in the hoof wall, making the Simple Rasp an invaluable tool for horse owners looking to keep their horses' feet in perfect condition year-round. Additionally, for shod horses, losing a shoe often leads to hoof damage from chipping and splitting before the farrier can replace it. The Simple Rasp is also a safe and effective way to introduce young horses to the concept of hoof trimming.
A must have for every horse owner!
