What Was It?

I was in a farm supply store last week and was looking at a new line of horse supplies. There were some pieces of plastic about 3/16 thick and shaped like a horse's foot. I could guess that it was likely something to put bet6ween a horseshoe and the foot. The other item looked like a gearshift knob. It was hard white plastic and was about the size of a hitch ball. It had a hole inthe stem like a shift lever knob would have. I told another customer I would like to have it for my TRACTOR but dropped it back in the box when I saw the $9.50 price tag. It could not be a replacement knob for hames as there was only one in the box. What was it? someone said horse pacifier.

The piece shaped like a horses foot does in fact go between the hoof and the shoe. They're used in the event a horse has foot trouble, as a method of protecting the foot.

(quoted from post at 06:08:11 09/30/10) The piece shaped like a horses foot does in fact go between the hoof and the shoe. They're used in the event a horse has foot trouble, as a method of protecting the foot.

To add to what MF Poor stated down here in Texas the thing shaped like a hoof is called a "hoof pad". I also agree on the rasp handle as with out one the sharp point on rasp will tend to hurt a farrier's hand.

That sounds reasonable. I think there wasa rasp inthe box but I never considered it. I just could not think past a good gearshift knob. But $9.50 horse people have money.
