A hoof hammer, also known as a farrier hammer, is a specialized tool used in equine hoof care for driving nails, fitting horseshoes, and adjusting hoof hardware. It features a balanced steel head with dual functions—one side for striking nails and the other for shaping or removing them. Designed for precision and control, the hammer allows farriers to work safely without damaging the horse’s hoof. The ergonomic wooden or fiber handle ensures a firm grip and reduces vibration during repeated use
