Deals of the Week

The Riders Rasp Trail £10 off! Was - £34.99 Now - £24.99
The innovative original Riders Rasp launched in 2009 took the hoof care market by storm in America and shortly afterwards the UK too! The Riders Rasp trail is similar to the original riders rasp, but has permanent, medium coarse blades attached. It allows the horse owner to improve the quality and care of their horses feet and save money- not something you would expect to hear in the same sentence! The Riders Rasp has been designed for barefoot or unshod horses, or horses that have lost a shoe. It can be safely used by horse owners to control flare, round or roll the edge of the hoof wall (mustang roll), and maintain a quick break over in between professional trims. Every barefoot horse owner knows the importance of keeping the hoof in balance and maintaining the rolled edge, and the Riders Rasp trail will allow the horse owner to maintain the hoof in the correct shape, thus allowing longer periods between professional trims. By correctly maintaining the hoof (ideally as discussed with their hoof care professional), the hoof is able to grow and strengthen far more consistently which can dramatically decrease the time it takes to rectify hoof abnormalities such as flare. A good rolled edge is essential to help prevent chips and splits in the hoof wall, which makes the Riders Rasp invaluable for horse owners who want to ensure their horses feet stay in perfect condition all year round.
If a shod horse looses a shoe, the most common problem is the loss of hoof due to chipping and splitting before the farrier can come to replace the lost shoe, easily prevented with the quick use of the Riders Rasp trail. This tool is also a very safe and easy way to introduce a young horse to the idea of having his feet trimmed. The Riders Rasp trail is ergonomically designed, and can be used with either the larger or smaller end in the palm of the horse owners hand (the blades are quickly and easily reversed) depending on hand size and preference. The way this tool has been designed allows the horses hoof to be held to the side and in one hand, the same as if you were picking the feet out which is far safer and more user friendly than a conventional rasp.
