I don’t think I’m planning on starting right now but can anyone point me in the direction of good information and advice please?
I’d like to get someone first to set my ponies back on track and then take over from there but need to learn more first.
Also been looking at tools as I’ll need to start from scratch.
I won’t need to actually trim, if I rasp regularly they don’t grow much foot anyway.
What rasps do people find easiest to start with? A long regular one as farriers use or I see little hand type ones that at first glance I thought may be easier but then maybe not, maybe you need the length of a normal one. Is it best to spend more or is a rasp a rasp and cheap will do for such light use.
Same with a hoof knife?
Then a hoof stand? Looks like one would make the task far easier especially as both ponies would stand nicely on one giving me two free hands.
Are there any FB pages that give good advice/ will critique photos either pre or post trim?
Thanks

Also as I tidy them weekly there's never much to do anyway.
