Whoever brought up the idea of using a cordless sander to trim feet

[Tiddlypom]

For anyone with unshod horses who has no intention of taking over the trimming themselves I can still highly recommend having a Radius Rasp as back up.

It’s very simple for a lay person to use to help keep the feet tidy between professional trimmings, and you can’t get up to mischief with it. It’s all I had for a year or two apart from an old hand me down rasp to use in between visits when the farrier was still coming regularly. It leaves a very neat finish. I still use it to finish off.

I self trim at my trimmers insistence. To keep toes back and to ensure performance hoof boots fit.

Confused by the above Paddy? Is it a typo? I "trim the wall" and "I have never trimmed the hoof wall anyway."

Is the latter quote the outside hoof wall - the trim some farrier do of outside of hoof so fits shoe, after have nailed shoe on?

I trim (all from underneath), heels, wall, and do same bevel and rounding. I also tidy up any flaps or grotty frog tissue.

I have never trimmed the hoof wall anyway is in conjunction with it has allowed me to dispense with pulling the foot forward onto the stand.

ie I trim the wall from underneath with the sole uppermost. I don't trim the "outside surface" of the hoof ie rasping it.
sorry if I confused you

thanks, for clarifying. I think I do exactly same as you, nothing from outside, everything from underneath.
