Doing both with one tool is the difference between a foot that looks picked out and one that actually is.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe handle is weatherproof polypropylene with a soft rubber bobble grip, which is the part that earns its keep on a wet winter morning when you are holding a foot up with cold hands. There is an eyelet moulded into the end so it hangs on a hook rather than living in the bottom of the grooming box.\u003c\/p\u003e\u0026lt;\u0026gt;\u003ch5\u003ePerformance \u0026amp; Benefits\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMetal pick with enough stiffness to lift a wedged flint rather than bending around it.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStiff nylon brush on the reverse for clearing the loosened dust and dirt off the sole and out of the clefts.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSoft rubber bobble grip that holds in a wet or gloved hand and reduces the ache over a full string of horses.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeatherproof polypropylene handle, unaffected by heat or cold and unbothered by being left out in the rain.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMoulded hanging eyelet, so it goes back on a hook by the door instead of into the bedding.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e32cm long, which gives real leverage compared with a stubby folding pick.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u0026lt;\u0026gt;\u003ch5\u003eSuitable For\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDaily picking out, before and after riding and at turnout and bringing in.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHorses on hard, stony or flinty ground where stones lodge in the frog clefts.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWinter and wet ground, where packed mud needs brushing out as well as picking.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAnyone who wants one tool rather than a pick plus a separate brush.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIt clears debris; it does not treat anything.
