Setup, Compatibility & Care
This tool requires no complex setup; it is ready to use immediately out of the packaging. It is compatible with all standard equine grooming routines and is safe for use on all horse breeds. To maintain the integrity of the tool, rinse the pick end with water after contact with mud or manure to prevent corrosion. Store in a dry, ventilated area of your tack room to ensure the longevity of the handle material. Avoid using the tool to pry off loose horseshoes, as this may bend the metal structure.
