Abstract
A tool having both a brush and a rotary blade is used for cleaning the crease of a horse shoe. The rotary blade is run over a debris-filled crease in order to loosen and remove the debris. The loosened debris is then removed with the brush. The crease is thus cleaned with less effort and with less brush wear.
