Hy Equestrian Progroom Dual Brush Hoof Pick
Description
The Hy Equestrian Progroom Two Tone Dual Brush Hoof Pick is a hand-held hoof care tool that combines a metal-style hoof pick with two brushes in one unit - a firm brush for stubborn dirt and a soft brush for gentle cleaning. It is made for riders and yard staff who pick out hooves daily and want one tool that clears debris and finishes the hoof off cleanly.
Best for everyday stable routines, pre-ride and post-hack hoof checks, and show preparation where a tidy hoof matters. Suitable for horses, ponies and cobs.
Key Features
- Two brushes in one tool: firm bristles for packed mud and dried dirt, soft bristles for finer, gentler cleaning
- Integrated hoof pick: lifts stones, bedding and compacted debris from the sole and clefts of the frog
- Ergonomic handle: shaped for a secure, comfortable grip that stays controlled when working on a lifted hoof
- Two-tone finish: smart, professional look and easy to spot in the grooming box or tack locker
- Space-saving: replaces a separate pick and brush, so it suits travel kits and lorry lockers
- Everyday durability: built for repeated use around the yard in all weathers

How to Use
- Stand your horse on firm, level ground and run your hand down the leg to ask for the hoof.
- Support the hoof and use the pick to work from the heel towards the toe, directing debris away from yourself.
- Clear both clefts of the frog carefully, checking for stones, thrush-type odour, heat or loose shoe nails.
- Switch to the firm brush to sweep away remaining mud and dirt from the sole and hoof wall.
- Finish with the soft brush for a clean, tidy surface before applying hoof oil or dressing if you use one.
- Rinse the pick and brushes in clean water and leave to dry before returning to the grooming box.
FAQ
What is the difference between the two brushes?
One brush has firm bristles for shifting stubborn, dried-on mud and packed dirt, and the other has softer bristles for gentler cleaning and finishing, such as around the hoof wall before oiling.
Is this hoof pick suitable for ponies as well as horses?
Yes. It is a hand-held tool rather than a sized item, so it can be used on ponies, cobs, horses and youngstock. The ergonomic handle suits most adult and older junior hands.
Can I use it on shod and unshod hooves?
Yes. Work the pick from heel to toe on the sole and clefts of the frog, and take extra care around the shoe, clenches and nail heads on a shod hoof.
How often should hooves be picked out?
Most owners pick out at least once a day, plus before and after riding. Daily picking helps you spot stones, loose shoes, heat or unusual smells early.
How do I clean and look after the tool?
Rinse the brushes and pick in clean water after use, remove trapped bedding and hair, then allow it to dry fully before storing. Replace the tool if the pick becomes bent or the bristles wear down.
