Hy Equestrian Progroom Gel Grip Hoof Pick & Brush
Description
Hy Equestrian Progroom Gel Grip Hoof Pick & Brush
The Hy Equestrian Progroom Gel Grip Hoof Pick is a combined hoof pick and stiff brush with a soft gel grip handle, designed for everyday hoof care on horses and ponies. It is best for riders and yard staff who pick out hooves daily and want a secure, non-slip hold in muddy or wet conditions.
The strong metal pick removes compacted mud, stones and debris from the sole and around the frog, while the stiff brush finishes the hoof by sweeping away loose dirt. Two tools in one handle means one item to reach for in the grooming box rather than two.

FAQ
Does this hoof pick include a brush?
Yes. The Progroom hoof pick has a strong metal pick on one side and a stiff brush on the other, so you can pick out and then sweep the hoof clean with a single tool.
Is it suitable for ponies as well as horses?
Yes. It is a single universal size and works on ponies, cobs, horses and youngsters, so there is no size to choose.
What makes the gel grip handle useful?
The gel grip is shaped to sit comfortably in the hand and resists slipping when your hands are wet, cold or muddy, which helps you keep control of the pick while holding the hoof.
How often should hooves be picked out?
Most owners pick out hooves at least once a day, and again before and after riding, to remove stones and packed mud and to check for loose shoes or signs of discomfort.
How do I clean and care for the hoof pick?
Rinse the metal pick and bristles under running water to remove mud and bedding, shake off the excess and allow it to dry fully before storing it in your grooming box.
Can I use it on a horse with shoes?
Yes. Work gently around the shoe and clips, picking from heel to toe, and contact your farrier if a shoe feels loose or has shifted.
