Farrier & livestock tools: FAQs

Should I buy 12" or 15" hoof nippers?

12" nippers are lighter and easier to control, so they suit ponies, smaller hooves and finishing work. 15" nippers give more leverage for larger horses and harder hooves. Many farriers keep both.

What do I need to trim sheep and goat hooves?

A pair of 9" hoof trimming shears (also called foot rot shears) is the main tool. Straight blades give a clean cut and serrated blades grip tougher horn; our 2-piece set includes both.

What is in your farrier hoof trimming kit?

The 5-piece kit includes hoof nippers, a horseshoe nail puller, a nail clincher, a clinch cutter and a hoof rasp, which covers removing shoes, trimming and finishing.

Are these tools suitable for professional use?

Yes. They are heavy-duty steel tools made for farriers, vets, farmers and smallholders, as well as students and hobby keepers.

Animal welfare

Procedures such as dehorning, castration and assisted calving must follow UK animal welfare law and veterinary guidance, including age limits and anaesthetic requirements. In Great Britain, shoeing horses is restricted to registered farriers.
