Shop Hoof Nippers by Size and Cutting Power

Hoof nipper size determines leverage, control, and cutting force. Selecting the correct length ensures efficient trimming without excessive hand strain.

12-Inch Hoof Nippers

Designed for maximum control, 12-inch hoof nippers are ideal for ponies, donkeys, and light trimming tasks. They offer precise handling, making them a solid choice for horse owners and detailed corrective work.

14-Inch Hoof Nippers

The most balanced option, 14-inch hoof nippers combine control and leverage. They are suitable for most horses and are widely used by both professional farriers and experienced horse owners.

15–16-Inch Hoof Nippers

Built for power, longer hoof nippers generate higher cutting force with less effort. These heavy-duty models are preferred for thick hoof walls, draft horses, and high-volume farrier work.

Choosing the right size means cleaner cuts, less fatigue, and faster trims.


Hoof Nippers by Jaw Design and Cutting Edge

Jaw shape and cutting edge style directly affect trimming accuracy and cut quality.

  • Straight Edge Hoof Nippers: Straight edge nippers provide predictable, clean cuts and are ideal for routine trimming. They allow consistent trimming across the hoof wall and are easy to control for daily use.
  • Curved Edge Hoof Nippers: Curved edge nippers bite into thick hoof walls more efficiently. They reduce splitting and improve cutting flow, especially on hard or overgrown hooves.
  • Narrow Jaw Hoof Nippers: Narrow jaw designs offer precision for ponies, small hooves, and detailed corrective trimming.
  • Wide Jaw Hoof Nippers: Wide jaw nippers deliver maximum cutting power for thick hoof walls and heavy trimming sessions.

Selecting the correct jaw style improves cutting efficiency and minimizes damage to the hoof wall.

Hoof Nippers by Steel Quality and Build

Steel quality defines sharpness, edge life, and long-term durability. Every professional hoof nipper in this collection is built for demanding use.

High-Carbon Steel Hoof Nippers: High-carbon steel delivers excellent sharpness and strong edge retention. These nippers are easy to resharpen and maintain cutting precision over time.
Forged and Heat-Treated Steel Construction: Forged hoof nippers offer superior strength and resistance to deformation. Heat treatment ensures the jaws remain aligned under pressure and maintain consistent cutting performance.
Rust-Resistant Finishes: Protective coatings extend tool life and maintain smooth operation in varied working conditions.

When buying hoof nippers, steel quality is the difference between frequent replacement and long-term reliability.

  • Suitable for routine maintenance


Whether you trim occasionally or maintain between farrier visits, choosing the right hoof nippers ensures safer, cleaner results.

 

Which Hoof Nippers Should You Choose Based on Horse Type?

Different horses require different cutting capabilities. Matching hoof nippers to horse type improves efficiency and reduces tool stress.

  • Draft Horses: Thick hoof walls demand long, heavy-duty hoof nippers with strong leverage.
  • Sport Horses: Balanced cutting power and precision are essential for performance horses.
  • Ponies and Donkeys: Smaller hooves require controlled, narrow-jaw nippers for accurate trimming.

Selecting hoof nippers based on horse type ensures optimal cutting performance.
