  • From what I've learned, trimming from the top is useful for removing flare and adding a "mustang roll" . Excess length I remove with nippers, I file the bottom flat, and then work on the flare issues from the upper side of the hoof. Flare can't be removed otherwise, and it's important to remove it to avoid creating excess strain and pulling on the laminae. As long as you only rasp the lower edge of the top, it's fine. Flare is one of the most painful things to a horse, and it needs to go.

  • Yikes! This is so unnatural! That's why it's so scary I guess. Horses in the wild never ever wear their hoofs down from the top. How in the world could this be good. Yes, it's totally easy to do but...yikes!

  • It might look 'pretty', but that is terrible for the hoof.

    Not good!!

  • this is very bad what youre doing! you make the wall very thin so in a matter of time they can break. and you have to rasp in a kind of system because you stay to long at one place.

    sorry butt this is terrible

  • I've been trimming for well over 30 years and never seen anything quite like it!

  • This is a terrible trim...you should NEVER rasp the top...it will only make the walls thin

  • this is so bad i dont know what you have been watching but thid causes the horses hoof wall to become weak making there wall fall apart in the wet

  • Do you ever rasp in a breaking point for the hoof?

  • Ooouch... :(

  • all very interesting but I am keen to learn how you'd rebalance the foot from uneven wear when trimming from the top only?

    My mare wears her dominant/driving hind foot more on the outside so requires more to be removed from the inside during a trim...
