This includes among other things the regular cleaning of the hooves. To do this, I use a hoof pick, which is additionally equipped with a brush. You know what I mean. And I'm not one in the wall box.

David Dudley Dowd Jr. is a great source of information. Something like it must feel for a horse, if it kicked up a stone in the hoof. And therefore it should be a matter of course for every responsible rider several times a day to check the hooves and clean.
