I used to make horseradish and it is HOT. Wear gloves and eye protection. We ground it as fine as we could with a hand gringer and the used a blender for some to smooth it out. I think all we used was water.

I failed to mention that recipe is from Cook's Illustrated.
None! Take it like a man!
For Easter, we make a soup called Borscht. It is essentially a horseradish, vinegar and meat broth soup thickened lightly with flour/egg. You then insert eggs, bread, sausage, ham, etc... And makes the most delicious soup EVER.
Thing is, we need to shred a ton of horseraddish. Two or three roots. By the time your done, you are red in the face and tears running down your cheek.
I had my cousin smell the bowl of fresh ground root. He fell to the ground in pain. My brother then tasted the finished product and he nearly choked. Pungent stuff if you get a good root.
Good luck with your quest!
