I am learning to do my horses trimmings myself (4 minis and one big horse) after a farrier lamed my best guy Buddy this year. It has taken 6 months and several vet's visits to get him back on track. Anyway, back to my question!! I have my Son-In-Law helping me and he is a cowboy farrier. Is it possible to keep a mini's feet healthy and nice with just rasping and clipping out dead frog and such or do you have to use nippers and actually trim hoof off?? I do my minis feet often and rarely trim with nippers just rasp and use a hoof knife but my Son-In-Law says that won't work it will eventually weaken the hoof wall. Is he right??
Thanks
