Product Information
Full details
The Roma Brights Hoof Pick with Brush is designed for equestrian enthusiasts who prioritize regular hoof maintenance and value color-coordinated grooming kits. This dual-purpose tool offers a robust stainless steel pick for clearing debris and a durable bristled brush for final cleaning, making daily hoof care efficient; however, the plastic handle construction means it may be less resistant to extreme impact or biting compared to solid wood or metal-handled alternatives.

FAQs
Is this tool suitable for all horse sizes?
Yes, the standard design is effective for the hooves of ponies, horses, and draft breeds.
Can the brush be used on the horse's coat?
While the bristles are effective for hooves, they are too stiff for sensitive coat areas and should be reserved for hoof maintenance.
Does the stainless steel tip rust?
Stainless steel is highly resistant to corrosion, though it should be dried after cleaning to maintain its finish.
What is the handle made of?
The handle is constructed from durable, high-impact nylon, which is common in professional grooming tools.
Does it come in other colors?
Yes, it is part of the Roma Brights range, which features a variety of coordinated color options.
Troubleshooting
Bristles are flattened or bent
Run the brush head under warm water and reshape the bristles with your fingers, then let it dry flat.
Pick tip feels loose in the handle
Check the connection point for debris; if it persists, ensure no hardware was damaged by excessive leverage.
Dirt stuck at the base of the pick
Use a small toothpick or compressed air to dislodge fine mud that collects where the metal meets the plastic handle.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
This tool requires no assembly and is ready for immediate use. To maintain the effectiveness of the Roma Brights Hoof Pick, it is recommended to tap the brush against a hard surface after every use to dislodge fine particles trapped in the bristles. Periodically, wash the entire tool in warm, soapy water to remove grease and dried manure, then allow it to air dry completely before storing it. Avoid storing the pick in direct sunlight for extended periods to maintain the vibrant color of the nylon and plastic materials.
