FAQ
What is the Hy Equestrian Progroom Vivid Hoof Pick used for?
It is used to clean dirt, mud, grit, stones and bedding out of a horse's hooves as part of daily hoof care and grooming.
Does it have a brush as well as a pick?
This model is described as a hoof pick with a durable metal pick and an ergonomic handle. If you want a brush head as well, choose a hoof pick and brush combination instead.
Is it suitable for ponies as well as horses?
Yes. It is a hand-held tool rather than a fitted item, so it can be used on ponies, cobs, horses and warmbloods alike.
How often should I pick out my horse's hooves?
Most owners pick out at least once a day, and again before and after riding, so stones and packed dirt are removed and the hoof can be checked.
Can children use this hoof pick?
The metal pick is firm and pointed for effective cleaning, so younger riders should be supervised by an adult.
How should I look after the hoof pick?
Rinse off mud and bedding after use, allow it to dry, and store it in your grooming kit. Replace it if the metal becomes bent or damaged.
