The Contouring Sole Rasps TM
Convex Rasping Tools for Cleaning and Shaping the Hoof Sole
The horn of the hoof sole in domestic horses often becomes deteriorated or grows excessively thick in some areas. The Contouring Sole Rasps
provide you with an additional means of cleaning out decayed horn while
shaping the contour of the sole and bars to help promote healthy
concavity. They have a varied curve that provides multiple ways
to grip and apply the rasping surface. This shape allows for rasping
both
the
broader arc of the sole and the tighter curves near the bars and
heels. In addition, both versions have a tappered point that
makes the best hoof pick you will ever use. It easily chops packed dirt
from the sole and effectively scrapes
grit out of the grooves along the sides of the frog or from cracks in
the white line and wall. This action prevents you from dulling your
hoof knife and other rasps on sand or gravel imbeded in the white line.
The Contouring Sole Rasps are easier to use than a hoof knife and give you more precise, gradual
control as you remove unhealthy or excess horn from the sole and bars. They can be used in either one or two hand grips.
