The replacing of a shoe on a horse involves a plurality of separate tools, each performing a different function. Such tools have not changed substantially in decades. A relatively simple substitute for these tools includes a pair of arms for pivotal interconnection scissorsfashion, a first of the arms having a head including a hammer, one half of a shoe or nail gripping jaw and a slot for use when removing nails, and the second arm having a head defining the other half of the jaw and an arcuate surface for blocking a nail in a hoof. The other end of the second arm defines a toothed clincher for use in opposition to a toothed portion of the hammer for clinching nails extending from a hoof.
