Highlighted Reviews

— Carol 2 found helpful

"I found this hoof pick is easier for me to use than most; easy to grip handle and sharper pick for carving out hard-packed mud."

— Allyson

"I asked for this as a gift because I thought it would be better than the other picks I had which were bending. I used this pick twice and the metal bent back. I couldn’t recommend this for getting rocks and gravel out of your horses hooves. It’s not strong enough."

Bottom Line

If you're looking for a reliable hoof pick for daily use, the Oster Equine Care Horse Hoof Pick is a solid choice, but be aware of potential durability issues.
