Afundamental – and the easiest – step of a trim performed by a hoof care professional is rounding the hoof wall. Accomplished using a rasp, rounding encourages the symmetrical growth of the hoof, helps balance the hoof capsule by eliminating flares and dishes, and removes sharp edges to prevent chipping and splitting.

Why Do Horse Owners NeedRidersRasp™?
A fundamental – and the easiest – step of a trim performed by a hoof care professional is rounding the hoof wall. Accomplished using a rasp, rounding encourages the symmetrical growth of the hoof, helps balance the hoof capsule by eliminating flares and dishes, and removes sharp edges to prevent chipping and splitting. Time spent in balance is easily lengthened through rounding.

Because a horse’s hooves change and become unbalanced through constant growth and irregular wear, frequent professional trimming is necessary to keep a barefoot horse sound. Excessive growth and uneven wear causing long toes, under run heels, flares and sharp edges will stress a horse’s hooves and legs. Many of these problems can be alleviated with regular hoof rounding maintenance between professional trims. In fact, the common denominator that links all successfully kept barefoot horses is rounding.

For many horse owners, rounding with a regular rasp to maintain the balance and condition of their barefoot horses between trims is difficult if not impossible. Now, the new RidersRasp™ easily allows owners to proactively maintain their horses’ hooves by rounding the hoof wall as new growth appears and before too much wear takes place. In the same time and position that it takes to clean out a hoof, everyone from backyard enthusiasts to top professionals can safely and effectively round their horses’ hooves using the RidersRasp™.

My Customers love the Riders Rasp™! They found it very easy to use and 'non-threatening. ' Once they got started they realized it would be very difficult to mess up. Most important, the horses hooves benefited tremendously! I specifically picked horses that tend to have problems maintaining between trims. With the owners using the RidersRasp™ it was as though I was getting there to see the horses "on Time" instead of "too late". I am going to strongly encourage my customers to own and use RidersRasp™ between trims. With a regular rasp I've always been extremely hesitant to have my clients doing "touch-up" work. The RidersRasp™ is exactly what they've needed. Great product!

This is one of the best ideas I've seen in a long time.

As a natural hoof trimmer, I always encourage my clients to keep their horse's toes back to help maintain balance between trims. The RidersRasp™ is the perfect way for them to do this. This product is easy to use, fits comfortably in your hand whether large or small, and fits easily into a saddle pack for use on the trail. I also found it was very practical for miniature horse hooves where you don't have a lot of room to work and where large files are limiting. Great Idea!
