Using a hoof pick you should gently but firmly hold up the horses hoof with your left hand. With your right hand use the hoof pick to scrape off any debris, work from the heel to the toe. Check for any looseness of the horse's shoe by gently pushing the hoof pick under the heel; if there is looseness you will need to contact your farrier.
