The Original RidersRasp™ uses medium finish files which are great for rounding or beveling the hoof, maintaining hoof form without the risk of removing too much hoof. RidersRasp™ is an "emory board" for the hoof. Safe for the rider, safe for the horse.
Save Money Without Compromising Care - In the time it takes to pick up your horse's feet, you can save money. Rounding with RidersRasp™ every 2-3 weeks lengthens trimming intervals, requiring a professional trim every 7-8 weeks, rather than every 5-6 weeks, without compromising the balance and quality of the horse's foot. Fewer trimmings each year means large cost savings! Rounding-An Important Part of Balanced Hoof Care - "Rounding the hoof wall is a fundamental step in all trimming and is 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 regiment with RidersRasp™ between trims for healthier hooves!
An Innovative Solution - Improve Hoof Condition
- The RidersRasp™ is a maintenance tool for the hoof that rounds, not removes the hoof wall, starting grooming from the ground up. The hoof is in a constant state of change, requiring frequent upkeep especially for the barefoot horse. As soon as two weeks after a farrier's visit, unshod hooves can become unbalanced. A rounding regiment with RidersRasp™ allows you to round away flares, chips, and sharp edges to lengthen the time your horse is in balance between trims.
- 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.
- With RidersRasp™, horse owners can successfully keep barefoot broodmares, retirees and horses in their off-season more comfortable. It is also a great training tool for young horses.
RidersRasp™ - Safe for the Horse and Horse Owner - 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, and that can cause soreness, lameness and compromise the hoof's balance.
