Hoof Nippers
Nippers are used to remove the surplus growth of the hoof wall. Several sizes are available: 14, 15 and 16 inch nippers are used where more leverage is needed on dry hoofs and on draft horses; 12 inch nippers can be used on show horses, racehorses and foals and those with weak hand strength.
