Waldhausen Grippy Hoof Pick Brush for Horses 16.5cm
Description
Waldhausen Grippy Hoof Pick Brush - Everyday Hoof Care in One Tool
The Waldhausen Grippy Hoof Pick Brush is a 16.5 cm combined hoof pick and stiff bristle brush for cleaning out horses' and ponies' hooves. It is designed for riders, grooms and yard owners who pick out feet daily and want one tool that both removes packed material and brushes the sole clean for inspection.
The pick end clears mud, stones, grit and bedding, while the inflexible bristles finish the job so you can see the frog, sole and shoe clearly. The grippy handle keeps the tool secure in cold, wet or gloved hands, and its compact size means it stores easily in a grooming box, lorry or travel kit. Best for everyday stable and turnout routines where a brush-and-pick combination saves reaching for a second tool.

How to Use
- Stand beside the horse facing the tail, run your hand down the leg and ask for the foot.
- Support the hoof and use the pick from heel towards toe, working away from yourself.
- Clear both collateral grooves and the area around the frog, avoiding pressure on the frog itself.
- Turn the tool and brush the sole clean so you can inspect for stones, bruising, loose shoes or thrush.
- Lower the foot gently and repeat on the remaining three hooves.
- Rinse the tool, tap out trapped bedding and leave to dry before storing.

FAQ
How long is the Waldhausen Grippy hoof pick brush?
It measures 16.5 cm in length, which is compact enough for a grooming box or travel kit while still giving comfortable leverage.
Are the bristles soft or stiff?
The bristles are inflexible, so they are stiff enough to sweep away dried mud, sand and bedding from the sole of the hoof.
Is it suitable for ponies as well as horses?
Yes. The same tool works on ponies, cobs, warmbloods and youngsters, whether shod or barefoot.
Can I use it on a horse with a sensitive frog?
Use the pick around the grooves rather than pressing into the frog, then use the brush to finish. If you see soreness, discharge or an unusual smell, speak to your farrier or vet.
How often should hooves be picked out?
Most yards pick out feet at least once a day, and again before and after riding or travelling.
How do I clean the hoof pick brush?
Rinse under clean water, knock out any bedding caught in the bristles and allow it to dry fully before putting it back in the grooming box.
