Muck Scoop: Poo Picking Without Bending
A Muck Scoop consists of a long handled scoop and a matching rake. With it you push droppings into the scoop in the field, paddock or arena without having to bend down. We offer muck scoops in several sizes, poo pickers with a sieve function, replacement scoops and a wall bracket, so the tool hangs neatly on the wall after work and stays out of the way.
Which size suits you
For a daily round of paddock and turnout area, a muck scoop with a 75 or 90 cm handle is easy to manage. Larger models such as an XXL poo picker hold more and suit the arena, where a lot of ground needs clearing. A shaker with a perforated scoop lets sand and shavings fall through, so only the muck is left. For children there is the Mistboy MINI, so even small helpers can lend a hand with stable duties.
Why regular poo picking pays off
Droppings in the field collect worm eggs and attract flies. If you clear the paddock regularly, the worm burden drops and the grass is grazed more evenly. Horses avoid eating near their own droppings, which otherwise leads to rough, ungrazed patches. In the arena, poo picking keeps the surface clean with good grip, and in the paddock you avoid muddy spots.
Frequently asked questions
How often should I poo pick the horse field?
Once or twice a week is ideal, and daily for small fields and paddocks. The more often you clear it, the fewer worm eggs spread across the pasture. With a muck scoop you can even do it while bringing the horses in.
Can I use a muck scoop in the box as well?
It works well for single droppings on shavings or pellets, especially together with the rake. For wet patches and larger amounts, a manure fork and wheelbarrow are more practical. Many horse owners use both.
Can I replace the scoop if it breaks?
Yes, for the Kerbl Mistboy there are replacement scoops that simply fit onto the handle. That way you do not need to buy the whole tool again. Hang the muck scoop up after use and the scoop will last longer.
Muck scoops for field, paddock and arena
Anyone who clears the paddock or field every day appreciates a good tool. With a muck scoop you use the rake to push droppings into the scoop and carry them comfortably to the wheelbarrow, without bending down at all. The classic models with a 75 or 90 cm handle are light and easy to manoeuvre, while an XXL poo picker suits large areas and the arena. Shakers with a perforated scoop let sand and shavings fall through so only the muck remains. For children there is a small version, so the youngest family members can help out in the stable too. Replacement scoops extend the life of the tool, and a wall bracket makes sure the muck scoop hangs neatly in its place after work instead of lying around. That keeps the stable aisle clear as well.
