ABSTRACT:
A substantially rectangular tool has a flat body, approximately 12 inches long and 6 inches wide, with a rasp surface on one side and a file surface on the other. The rasp portion of the tool includes a stop located near one of its narrower ends for abutting against the side wall of the hoof of a horse. This stop is provided as a reference and alignment point to measure the width of the hoof. The file portion on the other side of the tool includes measure markings for determining the width of the hoof being filed with reference to the stop. Both rasp and file portions have cutting edges placed at about 45 degrees with respect to the longitudinal axis of the tool. Two handles, a longer one for pushing the tool and a shorter one for controlling its position through each cutting stroke, are provided at each longitudinal end. In an alternative embodiment of the invention, a filing shoulder perpendicular to the cutting plane of the rasp is provided for trimming the side walls of the hoof.
