Frequently Asked Questions
Does this hoof rasp come with a handle?
Yes. The Mackey Hoof Rasp is supplied with a fitted handle, so there is no separate handle to buy.
Can I trim my own horse's hooves with this rasp?
A rasp is intended for light tidying of rough or chipped edges. Routine trimming, balancing and shoeing should be carried out by a qualified farrier.
Is it suitable for ponies as well as horses?
Yes. It is a standard hoof rasp and can be used on horses, ponies and cobs.
How should I look after the rasp?
Wipe off hoof dust after each use, dry it thoroughly and store it in a dry place to protect the cutting face.
When should I call the farrier instead?
If the hoof is cracked or damaged, the shoe is loose, or your horse is footsore or lame, contact your farrier or vet rather than rasping the hoof yourself.
