Equinimity Ultimate Hoof Pick Junior for Horses
Description
Equinimity Ultimate Hoof Pick Junior - Heavy Duty Steel Hoof Pick
The Equinimity Ultimate Hoof Pick Junior is an 8 inch hoof pick with an unbendable 40mm steel pick and an ergonomic, rubberised yellow handle. It is designed for riders, grooms and owners who want a tough, comfortable tool for daily hoof cleaning - and the shorter Junior length makes it particularly well suited to younger riders, smaller hands and compact grooming kits.
Best for clearing packed mud, bedding and stones from the sole, bars and around the frog before riding, after turnout and during routine grooming. Compared with lightweight plastic picks, the solid steel pick holds its shape under pressure instead of flexing or snapping.

How to Use
- Stand your horse squarely on a level, safe surface and make sure it is tied or held correctly.
- Run your hand down the leg and ask for the hoof, supporting it with your free hand.
- Work the steel pick from heel towards toe, lifting out packed mud, bedding and stones.
- Use the wide angle of the pick to clear the sole, the bars and the grooves either side of the frog.
- Check the sole for stones, thrush or unusual smells and speak to your farrier or vet if anything concerns you.
- Lower the hoof gently, repeat on all four feet, then rinse and dry the pick before storing it.
FAQ
What is the difference between the Junior and the original Ultimate Hoof Pick?
The Junior is the shorter version at 8 inches long. It uses the same heavy duty steel pick and rubberised handle, but the reduced length suits smaller hands, younger riders and compact grooming boxes.
Is this hoof pick suitable for children?
The shorter handle makes it easier for young riders to hold, but the steel pick is sharp and firm, so children should always be supervised by an adult when picking out hooves.
Will the pick bend on hard packed mud?
No. The 40mm steel pick is heavy duty and unbendable, which is why it copes with compacted dirt that can flex thinner plastic or wire picks.
Does it have a brush?
This is a pick-only tool with a wide pick angle for clearing debris. If you prefer to finish with a brush, pair it with a separate hoof brush.
Is it suitable for ponies as well as horses?
Yes. The same pick works on ponies, cobs, horses and youngsters being handled in hand - only the hoof size changes, not the technique.
How should I look after it?
Rinse off mud after use, wipe the steel dry and store it in a dry grooming box or tack room to keep it in good condition.
