The Simonds Red Tang 14″ Hoof Rasp is one of the top-selling rasps trusted by professional farriers. Known for its sharpness and consistent quality, it has set an industry standard by combining advanced sharpening with a specialized tooth design – resulting in one of the sharpest, longest-lasting rasps available. Comparable in size and versatility to a 14″ hoof rasp by Heller, it’s a reliable choice for everyday trimming.
The rasp side features smaller, more concentrated teeth that provide an efficient, controlled cut – ideal for harder hooves and arid environments. It’s especially well-suited for Thoroughbred-type hooves and foals and is commonly used by barefoot hoof trimming practitioners. Due to its aggressive cutting ability, care should be taken on the dorsal wall. It may leave light rasp lines, making it a good option to pair with the Heller Pro-Finish for a refined result.
The file side delivers smooth, efficient material removal with minimal effort, leaving a clean finish.
