Horse Farrier Supplies & Equipment
Farrier tools are various implements for hoof care. Your farrier needs pullers and other horseshoe removal tools, rasps to file the hooves, hammers, and more. Horse farrier equipment is also accessible to horse owners, and you don't need to be an expert with all the tools for shoeing horses.
You can complete your hoof care kit with hoof care supplements and hoof grooming supplies.
The Best Horse Shoe Tools
The following implements are the essential components of horse farrier tool kits.
Shoe Pullers - A shoe puller resembles oversized pliers and allows the farrier to remove the shoe from the hoof without harming the foot. These tools are invaluable for farm owners, particularly when a horse arrives with a misaligned or partially tweaked shoe and the farrier cannot immediately attend. They are the most essential horseshoeing tools you should have.
Hammers - Horse farrier supplies always include hammers to shape horseshoes from raw metal, with two common types being straight pein and cross pein. The straight pein features a flat end and a wedge opposite to the handle, while the cross pein has the wedge facing the opposite direction. Rounding hammers are employed to draw out metal and create clips for horseshoes, although alternative techniques exist. Driving or nailing hammers are compact and lightweight, enabling precise nailing of shoes onto the horse's feet. Resembling a claw hammer, these hammers utilise the claws to twist and remove excess nail protruding from the hoof once it's driven through.
Nail Puller – Featuring small jaws at its end, these horseshoe tools efficiently extract nails from a horseshoe individually, whether for shoe removal before trimming or to address loose or misaligned nails during shoeing. Farriers rely on this tool for precise nail placement, facilitating easier shoe removal in shifting or loose shoes, or when the horse's delicate hoof walls are susceptible to damage.
Clinchers – After nailing the shoe onto the hoof, these plier-like tools for shoeing horses bend the nail slightly over the hoof wall, aiding in securing the shoe in place. The clinchers lightly press and flatten the nail against the hoof wall, ensuring stability. Various clinchers, such as those with curved jaws or goosenecks, are available to address different nail positions, whether high or low, providing versatility in shoeing applications.
The Farrier Guide has more detailed information about hoof care implements, and your farrier can help you learn more about farriery and using the associated tools.
