Equinimity Jackhammer Ultimate Steel Hoof Pick
Description
Equinimity Ultimate Jackhammer Hoof Pick - Heavy Duty Steel Hoof Care
The Equinimity Ultimate Jackhammer Hoof Pick is a heavy duty, 8 inch hoof pick with an unbendable 40mm steel point and an ergonomic rubberised yellow handle. It is made for owners, grooms and yard staff who pick out hooves every day and want a tool that shifts packed mud, grit and bedding without bending or slipping.
It is best for winter mud, stony tracks and stabled horses on shavings or straw, where debris packs tightly into the clefts of the frog. The wide pick angle clears the sole in fewer passes than a narrow, lightweight pick, and the rubberised grip keeps control in wet or cold weather.

- Clean carefully down each side of the frog, keeping the point away from the sensitive central cleft.
- Check the shoe, clenches and frog condition while the foot is up, then lower it gently.
- Rinse the pick, dry the steel and store it in your grooming kit.

FAQ
Is this hoof pick suitable for ponies as well as horses?
Yes. The 8 inch length and wide pick angle suit ponies, cobs, horses and warmbloods, and the compact size makes it easy to use on smaller feet.
Does it have a brush?
No. This is the original Jackhammer pick design with a heavy duty steel point and rubberised handle only, so the full width of the tool is dedicated to lifting debris.
Will the steel pick bend in frozen or packed mud?
The 40mm steel pick is described as heavy duty and unbendable, which is why it is popular for winter mud and stony ground where lighter picks flex.
How do I clean and look after it?
Rinse mud and bedding off after use, dry the steel before storing and check the point and handle for damage from time to time. Replace the pick if either becomes damaged.
How often should hooves be picked out?
Most owners pick out at least once or twice a day, including before riding and after turnout or hacking, as it is also a good chance to check shoes and the condition of the frog.
Is the yellow handle easy to find if dropped?
Yes. The bright yellow rubberised handle stands out against shavings, straw, mud and grass, which helps when a pick is put down mid-groom.
