We are proud to present this
Convex Rasping Tool made specifically for Removing Excess Horn from Bars and Sole
Each user will have their own reason they feel this is a great product; some will say it provides better control than a hoof knife and others with
weak hands will love it because why they can't use a hoof knife they find they can use this product to remove material from the underside of the hoof.
Pictures are for representation only to show how the tool can be used
The
SR-2-F
has curved, knife-like teeth and black plastic handles and is a narrower design. These teeth shave rather than scrap away sole horn, leaving a smoother surface and thus the most uniform finish to sole horn than does the SR-1 (The SR-1 is the white rasp tooth version which we also sell separately in our eBay Store; using the SR-1 and SR-2 together is a great combination)
The horn of the hoof sole in domestic horses often becomes deteriorated or grows excessively thick in some areas. The Bar & Sole Rasps provide you with an additional means of cleaning out decayed horn to promote optimal hoof health. This rasp has a varied curve that provides multiple ways to grip and apply the aspects of the rasp's cutting surface. This ideal shape allows you to clean both the broader arc of the sole and the tighter curves near the bars and heels. In addition, the rasp has a tapered point for picking, cleaning and scraping. It easily chops packed dirt from the sole and effectively scrapes grit out of the grooves along the sides of the frog or from cracks in the white line and wall. There are several ways to grip this rasp in both single and double handed grips. Using the point of the rasp will to clean the hoof prevents you from dulling your hoof knife, nippers, and flat hoof rasp on sand or gravel embedded in the white line. The Bar & Sole Rasps are easier to use than a hoof knife and give you more precise, gradual control as you remove unhealthy or excess horn from the sole and bars It can be used in either one or two handed grips.
A little bit about the different versions of this product
so you can compare what we are selling here to the other models which we sell separately in our eBay store:
Why two Sole Rasps? Well, actually there are 3 versons...
The SR-1, with a white handle (sold separately), has pointed rasp teeth that are particularly useful in smoothing rough and deteriorated sole horn. The SR-2, with a black handle, has 'knife-like' teeth that shave rather than scrape, creating a smoother surface.
So the two rasps are often used in sequence to attain the best results. Each rasp has a different 'feel' so some trimmers will prefer one over the other.
In the black SR-2 design there are also two versions, the original SR-2 and another with a smaller finer rasp design called the SR-2-F Fine Tooth which is narrower.
The white SR-1 (sold separately)
is our top seller and it has standard pointed rasp teeth. These are particularly effective in grinding down rough sole horn and is ideal for hard, slick sole horn. It as hoof pick and scraping point for removing dirt and grit from bars, sole, white line, and wall cracks.  There are 3 different arcs on this rasp to enable you to pick the shape needed for the part of the sole you are working on and to find the best shape for different shapes of sole. Used in one and two hand grips. Made from high carbon steel for long lasting teeth.
The Black SR-2 'Pro' Knife Tooth is a wider version (sold separately);
it has wider knife tooth rasp teeth. These are particularly effective at shaving down (rather than scraping away) rough sole horn and is ideal for removing material in a more controlled manner that leaves a smoother surface to provide a more uniform finish than the white SR-1. It as hoof pick and scraping point for removing dirt and grit from bars, sole, white line, and wall cracks.  There are 3 different arcs on this rasp to enable you to pick the shape needed for the part of the sole you are working on and to find the best shape for different shapes of sole. Used in one and two hand grips. Made from high carbon steel for long lasting teeth.
The Black SR-2-F (
the item being sold in this listing)
is a narrower version
of the SR-2 Pro; It is the overall easiest to use. Its 7/8" width fits best into tight curves of sole on smaller hooves. Best choice for smaller hands and occasional trimmers. Because it is not as aggressive we recommend using it on heavy or rough soles that you use the SR-1 rasp tooth model first (sold separately) and then use the SR-2-F for finishing up.
We are using the manufacturer's pictures to give an idea what it looks like and how it is held but may not be an exact match as the manufacturer makes changes.  As an example the exact look of the teeth (count and coarseness) may deviate from order to order that we receive depending on what the manufacturer used from their sources of rasp suppliers.  In the pictures attached we are showing the manufacturer's pictures of the product we received.  We are authorized dealers and buy directly from the manufacturer.
I'd be happy to talk with you on the phone if you need help deciding which to get, just email me and I'd be happy to help.
