ICAR Hoof Nippers

Precision, performance, and durability — ICAR hoof nippers are trusted by professionals worldwide for reliable horse hoof trimming. Made in Italy to the highest standards, these nippers are part of the premium ICAR farrier tools range, engineered for balance, control, and long-lasting edge retention.

Available in four models — 12" Racetrack, 14" Racetrack, 14", and 15" — ICAR nippers meet the needs of farriers working on all types of equines. The 12" Racetrack is lightweight and agile, ideal for precision at the track or working on thoroughbreds. The 14" Racetrack version offers more leverage while maintaining a compact feel. The standard 14" is a versatile all-rounder, while the 15" hoof nippers deliver maximum power for trimming tougher hooves or when extra leverage is needed for larger breeds.

All ICAR hoof nippers are hand-finished and drop-forged from high-grade Italian steel. Their ergonomic design reduces fatigue, making them a top choice for professional hoof trimmers and shoers. Whether you're in the field or at the barn, these horse hoof nippers provide clean, accurate cuts every time.

• Oil the Bolt Joint: Apply a few drops of oil into the bolt hole, then open and close the nippers to work the oil through and flush out debris. This prevents joint seizure and prolongs tool life.
• Prevent Rust: Lightly oil the handles and head with a soft cloth to guard against rust and ensure smooth use.
• Trim Clean Hooves Only: Always clean hooves of rocks, nails, or debris before trimming to avoid damaging or dulling the blades.
