Standard Model Hoofstand
Trimming horses' feet is hard work!
Not everybody is able to do the 'farrier thing' and hold up the weight of a horses leg.
What about using a hoof stand instead?
Modern hoof stands are taking the hard edge off hoof trimming and giving many horse owners the physical capacity to maintain the feet of their own horses.
Here at the Barefoot Blacksmith ® we have just launched our own hoof stand.
We have spent many hours developing, trialling, refining and have produced a hoof stand that is unequalled in its ergonomics.
Features Include:
- Cradle option with revolutionary new rasp resistant soft top, for maximum hoof stability
Post with large rubber grip
Solid base which creates a low centre of gravity and therefore more stability
Full range of height adjustment from pony to large horse
Competitively priced
