[blackbelly] Hoof trimmers

[Mary Swindell]

Diane,
I purchased a dedicated pair of B & B hoof trimmers (from Premier Equipment 
Company), which are especially designed for small hooves.  They are great 
for Blackbelly feet, and help you get much more precision trimming out of 
your job, without hurting the rather delicate Blackbelly hooves.  I think 
they are about $15.00 apiece.  They are also easier on small hands.

When using garden pruners as hoof trimmers... do you use the anvil kind? 
or the by-pass?
The anvil kind is used in the garden for dead wood... and cuts flat....one 
sharp blade.  The by-pass
kind is for green/new growth (in the garden) & works more like scissors, 
two sharp blades passing by
each other.

I have both kinds... Fiskars... should I buy a pair just for hoof 
trimming? (will hoof trimming
"ruin" my nice pruners?)

Thanks!
Diane
