There is no shortage of tools needed around the barn, but did you know that there are five farrier tools every barn should have as well? I learned this by experience on more than one occasion. It didn\u2019t matter if the horses I worked with were shod or barefoot, at some point I would run into a hoof issue that I either needed to use the barn\u2019s farrier tools or wished the barn I was working at had farrier tools.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"farrier<\/p>\n

My Favorite Example\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Take Forrest for example. Standing at a massive 18 hands this gentle giant had a habit, like many horses, of scratching his head with his hind hoof. Unfortunately, he also had Shivers, so his hind limb coordination wasn\u2019t as coordinated as most horses. On this particular day, he was turned out in his leather halter. I happened to be sitting in front of the paddock eating my lunch when he went to scratch his head. I heard a big snap, and then he spooked a little bit. That\u2019s when I noticed the broken halter. <\/span><\/p>\n

When I got to Forrest to get the broken halter off him, I realized that the halter clip was missing. I looked in the dirt for a while, with no luck, and then I looked at Forrest. The halter had broken because part of the throatlatch, with the halter clip still attached, had gotten stuck between his hoof and shoe. The farrier couldn\u2019t come for another two hours, but we were prepared with the tools, and basic knowledge to remove the shoe, and broken halter piece, until the farrier could come to tack his shoe back on.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

How I Learned\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\n

I learned the basics of farriery while I was attending a Barn Management training course in Virginia.\u00a0 Every Tuesday the local farrier came to teach us about the hoof for as much as he could fit into an hour. He taught us about the different types of shoes in the classroom, and then after that, we were hands-on. We learned how to pull a shoe, trim and rasp a hoof, as well as how to tack a shoe back on. He emphasized how having this basic knowledge would come in handy in many situations, especially because the farrier isn\u2019t always 5 minutes away.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Disclaimer\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Before we get into the 5 farrier tools every barn should have on hand I have one disclaimer. I highly recommend asking your vet or farrier if they\u2019d be willing to show you how to use these tools correctly, and if they\u2019d be willing to supervise a practice run. I do think knowing how to tack on a shoe is also an important skill for horse owners, but I have purposely left the driving hammer, and nails,\u00a0 off this list. There isn\u2019t a whole lot of hoof wall around the very sensitive parts of the hoof which, if injured, could render your horse lame for quite a while. That is why I don\u2019t recommend trying to tack a shoe back on yourself without having had consistent training, and practice with a farrier. With that being said, let\u2019s jump into what 5 farrier tools every barn should have.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Farrier Tools<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Horse owners know you can never be too prepared when it comes to horses. You can find most of these tools on any horse supply site online, and sometimes at your local tack stores. Having these five basic farrier tools on hand is another way to ensure that your horses’ hooves remain in their best condition possible in the event that the farrier isn\u2019t close by. <\/span>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

1.) Nail Pullers<\/strong> <\/span><\/h3>\n

These come in handy if your horse gets a hot nail; you can remove the one nail causing the problem instead of the entire shoe. They also make it much easier to remove an entire shoe.<\/span><\/p>\n

2.) <\/strong><\/span>Shoe Pullers<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

These are necessary because some nails just don\u2019t want to be pulled out. The next best thing you can do is to pull as many nails as you can with the nail pullers first. Then, use the blunt shoe pullers to get the shoe off.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

3.) <\/strong><\/span>Hoof Nippers<\/strong> <\/span><\/h3>\n

These are only to be used in the worst-case scenario. For example, if there is a piece of hoof dangling that could make the hoof damage worse. However, if there is any blood or serious injury to the hoof do not trim anything. Your vet and\/or farrier should be able to handle this situation.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

4.) <\/strong><\/span>Hoof Knives<\/strong> <\/span><\/h3>\n

There are right and left-handed versions of this tool based on which side of the hoof you are working on. It’s not determined by whether you are right or left-handed. This tool is used for taking off paper-thin layers of the sole. It\u2019s not one of the more common farrier tools needed but is still good to have on hand.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

5.) <\/strong><\/span>Rasp<\/strong> <\/span><\/h3>\n

You have a couple of size options with the rasping tool. You can get the long version which has a\u00a0 course, and a smooth side, like the one your farrier would have, or another option is the compact\u00a0 Tough1 Handy Rasp 2 Pc Set.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
