Hoof Tester
by Castano Equestrian Equipment
R 768.94
Plier style pincer for testing for bruised or painfull spots inside the hoof
Used for determining where and how badly a hoof may be damaged.
Good for testing for sensitive / bruised areas of the hoof.
To test for sensitivity: place the end of one jaw on the suspected area and the other on the outside of the hoof wall, and exert pressure in that area by closing the handles.
The horse's reaction to the pressure will tell you where the damaged area is and how sensitive / sore the hoof is.
