Hoof Pick

A metal hook and a stiff steel wire brush on one contoured beechwood handle: pick the hoof clean, then sweep it out — without changing tools.

Not in the 4-Piece Set

Size: 16.5 × 7.8 × 2.05 cm; 6.5 × 3.1 × 0.8 in
Weight: 111 g; 3.9 oz
Material: 37 mm grip; reshaped in Version 2

New in Version 2: the handle was narrowed from 43 mm to 37 mm across the finger contours, so your hand closes fully around it — even with cold or gloved hands. A change our customers asked for.
