Product Information
Full details
The Waldhausen Grippy Hoof Pick Brush is designed for horse owners and barn staff who require a reliable, ergonomic tool for routine equine hoof maintenance. Its primary benefit is the combination of a heavy-duty pick and an effective stiff-bristle brush, which allows for thorough cleaning of the sole and walls in a single motion. While the 16.5 cm length is perfect for portability and standard handling, users with very large hands or those looking for an extended reach brush for safety-conscious horses may find the compact design slightly limiting.

FAQs
Is the pick made of stainless steel?
The pick is constructed from durable, high-strength metal designed to withstand the pressure of prying stones from hooves.
Can I use this on a pony's small hooves?
Yes, the 16.5 cm size is versatile and works well for both large horses and ponies.
Are the bristles soft enough not to hurt the horse?
The bristles are designed to be stiff to effectively remove dirt, but they are safe for use on the sole and frog when used with moderate pressure.
Does the brush head shed over time?
The bristles are securely integrated to minimize shedding, though standard wear can occur after extensive long-term use.
Will the rubber handle rot if left in a damp tack room?
The handle is made from durable synthetic rubber meant for stable environments, though it is best practice to keep it in a dry area when not in use.
How do I remove stones that are stuck very deep?
Use the pointed tip of the shovel-shaped pick to gently leverage the stone upward. Always work away from the sensitive frog.
Troubleshooting
Bristles becoming clumped or clogged with dried mud
Soak the bristle head in a bucket of warm soapy water for 5 minutes and then use a stiff comb to pull out trapped debris.
Handle surface becoming slick over time
Wipe the rubber grip with a damp cloth and mild dish soap to remove accumulated grease or grooming oils, then dry thoroughly.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
This tool requires no assembly and is ready to use immediately upon removal from packaging. It is universally compatible with all equine breeds and hoof sizes. To maintain the tool: 1. Rinse the brush under warm water after use to remove manure and mud. 2. Allow the bristles to air dry in an upright position to prevent moisture buildup in the handle. 3. Periodically inspect the pick head for signs of metal fatigue. Store in a dry grooming box to prolong the life of the handle material.
