ICAR Race Track Hoof Nippers

ICAR Race Track Nippers have a smaller head and a shorter distance from the bolt to the cutting edge than ICAR Classic Nippers. Less leverage is required to cut, making them easier and speedier to close. Made of the highest quality Italian tool steel and drop forged in Italy. These hoof nippers have a long-lived cutting edge and optimized leverage for better cuts with less force.

THE ICAR 12" Race is mechanically nearly identical to the GE 12" Easy Nippers, which is GE's foal nipper.  Note that ICAR also makes an ICAR 10" one-handed (spring - auto reopening) foal nipper.

ICAR is a family-run company founded in 1970 in Italy, with roots going back even further. The company was built on gaining the trust of the best industry professionals. Blending experience with a focus on high-quality hot forging products, and undoubted reliability.
