A hand-held hoof cleaning tool (20) is formed as a shaped handle (22) and a simply bent metal pick element (24), which are specia lly oriented and configured to greatly improve the amount of controllable power that may be applied to the cleaning task. In a preferred embodiment, a specially shaped handle (22) guides the user's (44) grasp to ensure that a somewhat narrow range of picking angles are employed by the bent metal pick tip (38). Acute picking angles within the range of 15 to 35 degrees are described, which allow highly controllable and effective leveraged cleaning action to be accomplished while reducing the need of large wrist twisting motions.
