US 12,550,878 B2 · Multifunctional horse-hoof and stud tool

Abstract

A multifunctional horse-hoof and stud tool is a device that allows users to do all the tasks involved in cleaning existing threads, cleaning the hoof, and installing studs in a horse's shoe. More specifically, the device is a tool that allows users to have all the items needed in one hand while using the other hand to hold the leg of the horse. To that end, a hoof pick attachment enables users to pick hoofs and remove mud and dirt from the center of the hoof. Further, a small pick with a barb removes packed dirt and small stones from existing threaded holes, and a small brush cleans threaded holes. A palm style tap attachment with a gripping surface helps clean threads without the risk of horseshoes breaking off, if the horse put its foot down while cleaning. Additionally, a socket drive is used to install different size studs.
