Product Information
Full details
The Waldhausen Grippy Hoof Pick Brush is designed for horse owners and riders of all levels who prioritize regular hoof maintenance and hygiene. Its primary benefit is the combination of a robust metal pick for debris removal and an integrated brush for thorough cleaning, all within an ergonomic design that prevents slipping during use. A potential caveat for users is that the 16.5cm length is compact, which may feel smaller to those accustomed to longer, heavy-duty handled tools.

FAQs
Is the brush stiff enough to remove dried mud?
Yes, the bristles are designed to be tough enough to handle dried mud and surface dirt without being too harsh for the frog area.
Can this tool be used on ponies as well as horses?
Absolutely, the 16.5cm size is well-suited for all hoof sizes, from ponies to larger draft horses.
Will the rubber handle rot if left in a damp tack room?
While the material is durable, it is best practice to keep it stored in a dry location to prevent moisture buildup in the rubber grip over time.
Can I replace the brush head if it wears out?
No, the brush is integrated into the handle design, so it is not a replaceable component.
Is the pick made of stainless steel?
The pick is constructed from durable, high-strength metal designed to withstand the stress of regular hoof cleaning.
Troubleshooting
Bristles becoming flattened or clogged
Soak the brush end in warm soapy water for 10 minutes and use a comb to straighten and clear debris from the bristles.
Metal pick seems to lose grip on debris
Ensure the tip is not caked in dried grease or manure; scrub the pick end with a stiff brush to restore its surface texture.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
This tool requires no assembly and is ready for use immediately upon unboxing. To maintain the longevity of the Waldhausen Grippy Hoof Pick:

- Storage: Store the pick in a dry, cool area away from direct sunlight to prevent the rubber handle from degrading over long periods.
