Introduction
For horse caretakers and trainers, the Folding Hoof Pick is a revolutionary new product in furriery. The stainless steel pick folds into its handle, allowing dirt to be efficiently removed from the sole and frog.
We at Ibnul Khalid Industries understand how important it is for these tools to be both hygienic and easy to use in stable or field situations– which is why each one we make is individually checked by an expert!
What Is a Folding Hoof Pick?
A folding hoof pick is a compact cleaning tool with a clever design: its stainless steel pick folds safely into the handle when not in use.
Because the blade clicks securely into place, you can easily remove mud, stones and other debris from your horse’s hoove– no problem. And when folded up there’ll be no risk of injury thanks to its neat compact shape (plus it won’t get damaged either).

- Farriers needing quick cleaning during shoeing or trims
- Polo/riding trainers keeping hooves clear while training
- Stable staff and grooms finishing horses each day
- Event riders/competitors requiring portable hoof care kit
What Makes It Useful?
In contrast to fixed picks this tool folds up for safe storage reducing the risk of injury. Its stainless steel blade won’t rust or bend, and there’s a locking mechanism ensuring the pick stays stable while you’re cleaning.
