What happens here
Conduct a thorough visual and tactile inspection of the freshly rasped hoof for any small, loose, or uneven pieces of hoof material, commonly referred to as 'stragglers'. While the video suggests some minor stragglers will wear off naturally, use a hoof nipper or a smaller, finer file to carefully remove any more significant or problematic pieces. This final detailing helps to ensure a clean finish and prevents potential snags or uneven wear.
Goal: Remove 'stragglers' and finalize the hoof trim.
