Concave Rasping Tools for Rounding the Edges of the Hoof Wall to Create the 'Mustang Roll'
Creating
a smooth rounded edge along the perimeter of the hoof wall is essential
for maintaining durable hoof shape and the healthy function of the 'Mustang Roll.' The Radius Rasps have a concave form
specially designed to remove wall horn in an arc. This action makes the
task of rounding the wall edge easier, faster, and more precise than
when using rasps that create flat surfaces. Because it can be used
one-handed, the other hand is freed to hold and steady the hoof while
rasping. Hoof care professionals and horse owners alike will find this
tool indispensable. There are two types of Radius Rasp: the rasp-toothed black-handled 'PRO' for beginning the rounding of the hoof wall and the white handled 'Original' with
a perforated smooth-shaving blade for making a fine, uniform finish.
These tools work best using many quick, light pressure strokes. Both Radius Rasps have have magnets in the handle to attach them to your hoof stand or horse trailer and both have stainless steel blades that will not rust!
