Quick Hoof Nippers 12″

The Quick Hoof Nippers are designed especially for barefoot trimming. The integrated spring system allows you to nip with one hand by keeping pressure of the handles against the fingers and palm of your hand. The flared handles conform to the shape of your hand, giving you a more comfortable grip with greater leverage. The Quick Hoof Nippers allow you to form the arc of the Mustang Roll with multiple bevel cuts around the outer edge of the hoof wall. This method of trimming forms a wider, higher arc while preserving the thickness of sole horn to promote greater comfort for the horse when going barefoot. The cutting blades are specially formed to ‘wedge off’ very narrow strips of horn along the upper border of the roll. That also saves you effort rasping the outer wall to finish shaping the roll. Every set of nippers comes with two springs, one for a softer action that helps you learn to use the nippers and a stronger spring for firmer action. The firm-action spring helps the nippers recoil faster from thick cuts of horn, speeding your trimming.
