You use a hoof pick to clean hooves, not a soft brush. You begin by lifting the horses hoof and picking from back to front. Many hoof picks have small brushes attached to sweep away the debris. Make sure you don't stab the frog or puncture the sole while cleaning the hoof, but make sure you get all the gunk out. Once the hoof is clean, gently set it down and move on to the next one. During a bath or basic grooming, you can take a stiff or medium stiff brush and scrub the outer part of the horses hooves to make them look clean.

Sticky soil which forms packets under the horse's hooves enable it to absorb shocks better?

Mud has been used for a long time to reduce heat in hooves because they can't expand or dissipate the heat except through the sole, as in a racehorse after a race when he's done-up in the evening. Sticky soil may help w/shock absorption, but remember that a horse's hooves need to be kept clean and dry to avoid thrush. So if you employ this practice, whether it works or not, just be sure to clean the hooves thoroughly after you use the horse.


How do you clean a horses huffs?

The best way to clean a Horses hooves is to use a hoof pick and work from the outside in. Use the metal part of the pick to clean the dirt or gravel out from in the horse shoe, then work inward to the center of the hoof and clear the rocks and gravel or dirt out of there until you reach the frog. BE CAREFUL around the frog because it is the most sensitive area of the hoof. Clean around it with the metal part of the pick and then switch to the brush side. Now work your way over the frog with the brush and then over the center of the hoof and the horse shoe. Then I usually tilt the hoof pick and wedge the metal in a bit just a tad bit under the horse shoe (it should NOT be able to go very far in or else your horse needs to be shod) and then I go around the entire shoe which cleans the dirt from under it and makes the farrier have an easier job. Now you just need to clean the outside. Take the metal part of the pick and scrape the packed dirt off the horses hooves. Be careful not to let it scrape too much of the hoof. Then use the brush or a scrubber to brush all the extra dirt off the hoof to clean it all the way. Now you can do the optional step of hoof oil. This oil helps darken the hoof and moisten it a bit to keep it healthier. Do not do this every time you clean the horses hoof though. Good luck :D
