Description
LeMieux Heavy Duty Hoof Pick with Brush
The LeMieux Heavy Duty Hoof Pick with Brush is a robust grooming tool that combines a strong metal-style pick head with an integrated cleaning brush, so you can lift packed mud and stones from the sole and frog and then sweep the hoof clean. It is designed for horse owners, grooms and yard staff who pick out hooves every day and want a tool that will not bend or break after a season.
The ergonomic handle with ribbing detail gives a soft and secure grip, making it comfortable to use with cold, wet or muddy hands. It is best for daily hoof care at home, in the stable or out at competitions, and suits horses and ponies of all sizes.

How to Use
- Stand beside your horse's shoulder or hindquarter, facing the tail, and run your hand down the leg.
- Ask the horse to lift the foot and support it just above the hoof.
- Using the pick, work from the heel towards the toe, always directing the point away from you and away from the frog.
- Clear the clefts either side of the frog carefully, removing packed mud, bedding and stones.
- Use the brush to sweep the sole clean and check for bruising, thrush, loose shoes or embedded objects.
- Lower the foot gently, repeat on all four hooves, then rinse and dry the pick before storing it.

Yes. It is a one-size tool that works on ponies, cobs, warmbloods and larger horses alike.
Is the handle comfortable to hold?
The handle is ergonomically shaped with a ribbing detail that gives a soft and secure grip, which helps when your hands are cold, wet or muddy.
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, to remove stones and bedding and to check the condition of the foot.
How do I look after the hoof pick?
Rinse it after use, allow it to dry fully, and store it in your grooming kit or tack box. Replace it if the pick becomes bent or damaged.
