A trainer in Kentucky told me my rasp angle was off, and it clicked
I was trimming a big warmblood at a clinic near Lexington, and I was working on the hoof wall. An older farrier, who was just watching, came over and said, 'Your rasp is fighting you. Tilt it down just a hair.' He showed me on his own hand, and that tiny change made the whole motion smoother and saved my elbow. Has anyone else had a simple tip from a stranger fix a problem you didn't even know you had?
