Finally got a tough horse in my regular barn to stand calmly for a full trim last week after three months of slow work.

Just read an old farrier manual that said some draft horses used to get shoes weighing over 5 pounds each.

I used to think a 3/4 inch rasp was fine for everything, but after a tough quarter crack repair on a draft horse in Spokane last fall, I switched to a 1 inch. What's your go-to rasp size and why?
