Anyone know what I mean? I am sure I have heard of these things, but cant for the life of remember what they are called, or exactly what they are like!

Yep, looks like what I am thinking of. Do you think it be able to keep a Shetland pony's hooves ticking over, if the farrier came to trim every 3 months or so?

Riders rasp=rubbish HOWEVER radius rasp=brilliant. I have one and wouldn't be without it. My girl is trimmed every four to five months and I use this inbetween

I have something called a riders rasp, but it's more like a rasp on a wooden block than those strange shaped ones. Worked really well but I couldn't sort the toes out.

Have to agree with this, I swapped from riders rasp to radius too.
