So, my farrier came out today and trimmed my horses, but the filly turned into a fire breathing dragon. She reared, bucked, kicked, and bit. She kicked him hard a couple of times and refused to cooperate. So, I've decided to trim her myself from now on, my farrier doesn't deserve to be abused by my horse every time he comes out (she's always been bad for him, but was never this bad before).
I have a rasp, and did rasp her hooves down a little about 3 weeks ago so he wouldn't have to come back out so soon (noticed her hooves needed done again only 4 weeks after her trim, so I bought the rasp online and rasped them when it came in the mail).
Do I need to buy nippers and a hoof knife, or is the rasp enough?
I have done a lot of research on trimming hooves (though I don't claim to really know what I'm doing..), because I had planned to eventually do it myself, and I will continue actively learning more.
I also will have him check my work when he trims the others, to make sure I don't mess her up.
