Friedr. Dick Hoof Rasps & Sole Rasp

Friedr. Dick Hoof Rasps

The Friedr. Dick horse rasp is superb. It’s the
European standard among professional farriers
and hoof care practitioners, and now popular in
the U.S. for both do-it-yourselfers and
professionals. The 12" is a particular favorite,
especially among our many women customers
(although many men prefer it also!) The 12" has
also been recommended for use on ponies (see
comments at lower left).

Customer Comment
"I have bought different rasps that were
supposedly very good quality and they don't
perform near as well as the F. Dick rasps in my
opinion. A couple of my customers have
commented on how well my F. Dick rasp gets
through the hoof, and after trying it for
themselves, they are very impressed."

Round Sole Rasp

At last, a unique tool that enables the hoof
care practitioner to safely shape and
stimulate sole growth and develop natural
concavity in the volar dome as never before.
The sole rasp is used following a general
debriding and shaping with the hoof knife.
Properly used, it hones the surface of the
solar dome into a smooth, hard natural finish
resembling the wild horse hoof -- and without
the risks of causing harm if attempted with a
hoof knife. It also enables the practitioner to
give the bars a mustang roll also in keeping
with the wild horse model. 80 grit sandpaper
is recommended to really "fine tune" the
finish. A fantastic tool, and a great addition
to your tool caddy.

Rasp cleaner

It is a characteristic of rasps to pick up hoof
filings between the teeth (chisels) and hold
them there. Use this 10 inch rasp cleaner to
keep the cutting chisels free of such debris,
and you will add on to the trimming life of
your rasp.

Customer Comment:
"I love the F. Dick
rasps, they last sooo
long and cut so good!
I trim my four horses
every three weeks,
and I would never try
another common
rasp, they just don't
last. I had one for
alot more money, and
it was dull after the
first two trims! I have
been using this one,
since the late spring!"

Customer Comment:
" I really like the 12"
rasp and metal rasp
handle. I have three
ponies - 13 hands,
13.2 hands and 14
hands. In the past, I
found using a
standard-size rasp
quite difficult on the
13 hand pony -- there
is just not enough
room under her belly
for a longer rasp.
Using a shorter rasp
has made trimming
my ponies a LOT
easier!"
