Get Tools for Horse Hoof Care

Farriers require a lot of equipment to maintain and care for horse hooves, so we provide specialized equipment to help them get their jobs done and keep your horses in top shape. Our options include:

Horseshoes and Nails

Not all horses need horseshoes, but work or performance horses will need horseshoes and nails to attach them. Explore horseshoes of various sizes to accommodate horses of different breeds and proportions, such as small sizes such as 0 or 1, and larger ones such as 4 or 5. You’ll find shoes made of both durable metal and rubber, along with nails made of sturdy steel, to stand up to the weight of your horse.

Farrier Kits, Aprons and Accessories

Farrier kits, aprons and accessories help keep necessary tools handy when working on horses. You won’t have to go digging through a bag when you have aprons or kits with dedicated pockets for storing equipment. Some aprons are full, while others start at the waist, so you can choose the one you prefer. Many options are machine washable to allow for simple cleaning after a long day at work.

Farrier Nippers, Clinchers, Pullers and Cutters

When trimming a horse’s hooves and applying horseshoes, farrier nippers, clinchers, pullers and cutters are especially useful. Nippers and cutters help trim and shape hooves for horseshoe fitting. Meanwhile, clinchers and pullers are used for tightening and removing horseshoes. These tools are generally made of heavy-duty steel that can withstand frequent use and cut through hoof material.

Farrier Rasps, Knives and Hoof Picks

Farrier rasps, knives and hoof picks are other tools that farriers keep in their kits. Rasps and knives enhance the shape of horse hooves and make them smooth. You’ll also find rasp handles that prevent injuries when using these sharp tools. Hoof picks help remove debris and dirt from the hooves to prevent injuries and maintain overall well-being. They typically feature a plastic handle for a secure grip and a thin metal head that can get into the crevices of hooves.

Farrier Hammers, Testers and Stands

Simplify farrier work with equipment such as farrier hammers, testers and stands. Hammers help drive nails completely into the hoof, while testers help identify painful areas of the hooves. Stands can prevent fatigue and back pain by lifting the hoof and placing it at an angle.

Farrier Anvils

Farrier anvils help shape horseshoes properly, creating precise curves and shallow edges. They feature a rounded horn and may have a pritchel hole for making nail holes in the horseshoes. These anvils are often lightweight to allow for portable use.
