[BCMA] mystery object

[Moderated BCMA subscriber listserv.]

Hi Sandra,

 

Our best guess is that it would be a hook pick or knife for cleaning out
horses’ hooves when out riding. It has the right shape and long  handles so
it can be fastened to a saddle.

 

Have a great day,

Hello Everyone,

 

We were wondering if someone would be able to identify the attached object.
Our best guess is that it’s a pickaroon/hookaroon tool of some kind.  Would
anyone know more specifics?

 

It’s 15 inches in length, with a wood handle and a metal hook end.

 

Thank-you for the help. 

 

Best,

Sandra
