Realized I was burning my horses' frogs for a decade
I was down at a clinic in Lexington last month and the clinician pointed out my rasp angle was way too steep on the back half. Said I was basically sanding off live tissue. Has anyone else had to unlearn a bad habit this far into the trade?

I read a farrier say "less is more" on the frog and it stuck with me.

@davis.ruby hit the nail on the head with that "less is more" thing. Used to think you had to really dig in there to get the frog cleaned up proper, but that clinic visit made me feel like a total hack. Seeing those healthy frogs after a light touch showed me everything I was doing wrong. Changed my whole approach going forward.
