Description
Hy Equestrian Progroom Two-Tone Hoof Pick
The Hy Equestrian Progroom Two-Tone Hoof Pick is a stainless steel hoof pick with a two-tone, soft touch handle, made for daily picking out of horses' and ponies' feet. It is best for riders who want a comfortable, easy-to-hold pick for pre-ride checks, post-hacking care and routine stable management.
