Hoof Debris & Stone Extraction Hook Tool

Extract stones and packed debris from horse and livestock hooves with the Indigo™ 22578 stainless steel curved hook pick. Clean hoof clefts and frog areas without causing injury to sensitive tissue.

Packed debris in horse hooves can cause lameness, thrush, and abscess formation if not removed regularly. While hoof picks work for general cleaning, stones lodged in the frog cleft and debris packed in tight areas require a tool with a more aggressive hook. The Indigo™ 22578's curved talon design provides farriers, veterinarians, and horse owners with effective debris extraction. The sharp hook digs under lodged stones and compacted material, levering them free without requiring excessive force that could injure the sensitive frog tissue. The autoclavable construction meets veterinary hygiene standards for tools used on multiple animals. This tool is also valuable for cattle and other livestock where hoof problems can significantly impact animal welfare and productivity. The knurled grip provides secure handling even when wet or muddy.
