Product Information
Full details
The Lincoln Hoof Brush is an essential grooming tool designed for horse owners and equestrian enthusiasts who prioritize hoof health and hygiene. It excels at dislodging packed dirt, mud, and debris from the sole and frog, ensuring a clear view for regular inspections; however, its compact design may feel slightly small for users with larger hands or those accustomed to heavy-duty, long-handled brushes.

FAQs
Is this brush safe to use on the frog of the hoof?
Yes, the bristles are designed to be firm enough to clean effectively while remaining gentle enough for the sensitive frog area when used with moderate pressure.
Can I use this brush on wet hooves?
Yes, it is perfectly safe to use on damp or wet hooves, though cleaning dry mud is often faster.
How should I store the brush?
Store it in a cool, dry place inside your grooming kit to prevent the handle from becoming brittle over time.
Is the brush size suitable for ponies and horses?
The compact 11.5 x 4cm size is highly versatile and works effectively for both ponies and full-sized horses.
Does this product include a hoof pick?
No, this is a dedicated hoof brush. It is recommended to use this alongside a standard hoof pick for a complete cleaning process.
Troubleshooting
Bristles becoming flattened or splayed
Soak the bristles in warm soapy water for 10 minutes, reshape them with your fingers, and allow them to dry hanging downward or on their side.
Dirt buildup between bristles
Use a secondary stiff brush or a coarse comb to rake out debris lodged deep between the bristle tufts.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
The brush requires no assembly; it is ready to use immediately. To maintain the life of the tool, rinse the bristles under warm water after heavy use to remove manure and grime, then allow the brush to air dry completely before storing it in a dark, dry place. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners on the handle to maintain the structural integrity of the plastic. This brush is compatible with all standard equine hoof care regimens and pairs well with traditional metal or plastic hoof picks.
