What is a hoof pick?

The hoof pick, also called hoof cleaner, is one of the most important tools when it comes to grooming and should definitely not be missing in your grooming box. Why? Using a hoof pick, makes it possible for you to remove dirt and stones from your horse's hooves. As the name suggests, this tool is used to scrape out a horse's hooves. If you don't do this regularly, infections can quickly develop.
A hoof pick is equipped with a metal scraper, attached to a handle so that it fits comfortably into your hand. Most of these tools also have a small brush attached, which allows you to clean the hoof even more thoroughly. When buying, make sure that the tip of the hoof scraper is not too sharp, otherwise you can hurt your horse. Our assortment starts with a basic Barato hoof pick

Why is cleaning hooves important?

Cleaning your horse‘s hooves is particularly important, because they have to carry an enormous weight when running and are therefore constantly strained. If the hooves are cleaned and cared for regularly, the horse can run as comfortably as possible and its performance can be maintained. In addition, regular hoof checks can prevent infections and you can detect injuries at an early stage.

How to clean hooves?

First, find a comfortable position for you and your horse. Hold the hoof in one hand and the hoof pick in the other. Then you can first remove the accumulated dirt from the grooves of your horse’s frog with the scraper. Then you can clean the sole of the hoof as well as the corners of the heel. When cleaning, it is especially important to watch out for small stones and remove them if necessary, otherwise they can cause injuries. Once the hoof is clean, you can go over it again with the brush and brush everything out thoroughly.

How often is hoof picking necessary?

In any case, regularly! Thorough hoof care is not only necessary when you move your horse, but also on days when your four-legged friend is resting. On the one hand, this has the advantage that you notice small injuries or stones that have entered the hoof at an early stage, and on the other hand, bacteria have no chance to spread if the hoof is cleaned on a regular basis.
