RidersRasp

 

RidersRasp is the first tool of its kind designed specifically for horse owners to sustain and support hoof balance and soundness. RidersRasp allows users to safely and effectively round their horse's hooves to retain and prolong balance between professional trims and improve the overall condition of the horse's hooves.

"Rounding the hoof wall is a fundamental step in all trimming and crucial for maintaining hoof form and soundness," explains W. J. Tomlinson, the American Farriers Association Certified Journeyman Farrier who developed the unique RidersRasp. Rounding encourages symmetrical growth and maintains the hoof capsule's correct balance by eliminating flares and dishes. Rounding also removes sharp edges to prevent chipping and splitting. Excessive hoof growth and uneven wear causes stress on horse's hooves and legs. Typically, rounding is done by a hoof care professional, but now you can supplement your horse's hoof care with RidersRasp between trims for healthier hooves!

For a shod horse, losing a shoe can quickly damage the hoof wall. RidersRasp enables you to lightly round the edges of the foot to minimize further damage and stabilize the hoof until the farrier arrives to replace the shoe.

A conventional farrier's rasp is difficult to use and best left to a professional. It needs two hands to operate, requiring the user to stand with the horse's foot between their legs, often bearing the weight of a leaning horse. Standing under the horse is not only difficult, but can be dangerous. When used by a non-professional, a conventional rasp can also remove too much hoof wall which can cause soreness, lameness and compromise the hoof's balance.

RidersRasp is easy to use with one hand, allowing the user to stand beside the horse without bearing the horse's weight. It also protects the user's hands from the sharp teeth of the rasp and allows them to confidently ropund the hoof wall, without the worry of removing the hoof wall. RidersRasp ergonomic design fits all hands with a soft grip and no-slip sides.

It is also a great training tool for young horses.
