Product overview
Hoof rasps: tooth pattern, length and handle.
A hoof rasp levels the bottom of the hoof and finishes the wall after the nippers and knife have done their work. One side is cut coarse and removes material quickly, while the other is finer and leaves a smoother surface. Rasps are a consumable tool because the teeth wear, so they are often bought in quantity.
Tooth pattern, hardness and length decide how well the rasp cuts and how long it lasts. Some are supplied with a tang for a handle and some come with the handle fitted. We confirm these from your reference piece. A rasp is used together with a hoof knife and hoof nippers.
Rasp and file facesCoarse and fine cutting on one tool.

Buyer FAQ
Hoof Rasp: questions buyers ask.
Why does it have two faces?
The coarse side removes material quickly and the finer side leaves a smoother surface.
Is a handle included?
It can be supplied with a tang for your own handle, or with a handle fitted.
How long does a rasp last?
That depends on use and tooth hardness. Rasps are a consumable tool, so they are usually bought in quantity.
Is it reusable?
Rasps are used repeatedly until the teeth wear. Cleaning follows the user's routine.
Do you supply bulk, OEM and private-label orders?
Yes. Marking and packaging can be agreed for private-label programmes, and quantities are quoted per programme.
