I use the
"Shear Magic" Hoof Trimmer from Jeffers Supply. I just bought them and after 11 years of using pruning shears these trimmers are WONDERFUL!

Trimming Aspen's hooves
First I tie her up to eat. Then I straddle her facing the direction of her rear.(picture is for back hoof trimming)
Next I clip the walls and frog of one clove of the hoof. (note this is a front hoof)
One clove done
on to the other (note my knees are squeezing in to hold her still)
Trimming the frog or the heal of the hoof (this is a back hoof)
