V-Plast Moulded Plastic Hoof Pick for Horses
Description
V-Plast Moulded Plastic Hoof Pick
The V-Plast Hoof Pick is a fully moulded, one-piece plastic hoof pick made from hard-wearing POM, measuring 150 x 45mm and weighing 23g. It is designed for horse and pony owners who need a simple, durable tool for picking out hooves before and after riding, turnout and schooling.
Best for everyday yard use where a metal pick with a separate handle would eventually work loose - there are no joints, screws or fixings on this design. An integrated hanging hole means it stores neatly in a grooming kit, on a stable hook or in the lorry, and it is available in Black, Green, Hot Pink and Navy for easy colour-coding between horses or riders.
