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.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIt 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.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUnbendable steel pick:\u003c\/strong\u003e 40mm heavy duty steel point for compacted mud, stones and bedding\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eErgonomic rubberised handle:\u003c\/strong\u003e comfortable, secure grip in wet, muddy or cold conditions\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWide pick angle:\u003c\/strong\u003e efficient cleaning around the sole, frog, bars and heels\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCompact 8 inch length:\u003c\/strong\u003e easy to control and quick to stow in a grooming box or travel kit\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHigh-visibility yellow handle:\u003c\/strong\u003e simple to spot in bedding, mud or long grass\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProfessional approval:\u003c\/strong\u003e trusted and recommended by industry professionals\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003ctable\u003e \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eBrand\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eEquinimity\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eModel\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUltimate Jackhammer Hoof Pick (Original)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003ePick Material\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSteel, 40mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eHandle Material\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRubberised, ergonomic shape\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eHandle Colour\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eYellow\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e8 inches\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSuitable For\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHorse, pony, cob, warmblood\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eCountry of Origin\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUSA\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e \u003c\/table\u003e \u003ch3\u003eHow to Use\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003col\u003e \u003cli\u003eStand beside the horse's shoulder or hip, facing the same way as the horse, and ask for the foot.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eSupport the hoof in one hand and hold the pick with the point angled away from you.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eWork from the heel towards the toe, lifting mud, stones and bedding clear of the sole.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eClean carefully down each side of the frog, keeping the point away from the sensitive central cleft.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eCheck the shoe, clenches and frog condition while the foot is up, then lower it gently.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eRinse the pick, dry the steel and store it in your grooming kit.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ol\u003e \u003cp\u003eBrowse more \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/grooming\"\u003egrooming and hoof care essentials\u003c\/a\u003e to complete your kit.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eFAQ\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs this hoof pick suitable for ponies as well as horses?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes.
