Shoof Walkease Hoof Rasp with Plastic Handle
Description
Shoof Walkease Hoof Rasp — Compact Rasp for Hoof Repair and Finishing
The Shoof Walkease Hoof Rasp is a small hand rasp with a 40mm x 60mm blade mounted in a plastic handle, measuring 18cm overall. It is designed for hoof repair and finishing work, and is best for farriers, hoof trimmers, stock keepers and experienced horse owners who need a compact rasp for close-up detail work rather than a full-length farrier rasp.
Because it is short and light, it is easy to control in one hand and simple to store in a hoof care kit, grooming box or tool bag. It is often used alongside the Walkease hoof block system to prepare a clean, level surface before application.

What is this rasp used for?
It is used for hoof repair and finishing work, such as tidying hoof edges and preparing a clean, level surface before a hoof block is applied.
Is it suitable for horses as well as cattle?
Yes. It is a general hoof care tool that can be used on horses, ponies and cattle where a small rasp is needed for detail work.
How does it compare with a full-size farrier rasp?
A full-size farrier rasp is better for removing larger amounts of hoof wall quickly. This compact 18cm rasp is better for close, controlled finishing work in tight areas.
Can I use it myself or should a farrier do the work?
Hoof trimming and repair should be carried out by a farrier, qualified trimmer or a suitably experienced handler. If you are unsure about a hoof, ask your farrier or vet first.
How should I look after the rasp?
Brush debris out of the teeth after each use, keep it dry and store it apart from other tools so the cutting surface is not blunted.
