Emergency shoe removal tool?

[vhf]

OK, someone told me these exist. So, where can I find one? sounded like a good Xmas present idea at the time (June) and now it's nearly Christmas and I'm panicking!?
Alternative is a pair of shoe pullers, a hammer and a buffer thingy I assume, but if there's a multi-tool option, it'd make a better gift!
Any help gratefully received, thank you!

hmm there is a pincer like tool for removing shoes that i remember the farrier showing me,before letting us practice the pony club way, but i cant for the life of me remember what its called...

Mines called a claw hammer and a dinner knife.

Not so sure I can wrap that up and put it under the tree though?!!

i don't think 1 tool would cut it at all! hammer, buffer, individual nail puller (that might be what they meant, it's a godsend), pincers, apron, stand, are my most basic requirements (but i'm not strong enough to pull a shoe straight off, unlike most farriers)! nice idea for prezzie.

Ooh, nail puller sounds useful - think I want one though!

i have seen them some where but can't remember were. it was sort of like this but in a cloth rap.

Weird was going to post on this exact topic. I have found a product called the Pocket Farrier which seems to fit the bill. I was wondering if anyone has used one and if it's worth the money?

that looks a good addition to anyones tack box, ideal to take to shows ect as well.

 

[kerilli]

that's a clever bit of kit. impressive.

 

[vhf]

Aha! Thank you!
Yes, that looks like it must be it! NOT the price I was told though ("under £30")
Hem, hum...
Looks like an "everyone should have one" thing though?!

Normally if you have a good pair of nail pullers you do not need anything else... I had a great pair when I was in the UK.... no more struggling with pincers and trying not to pull half the foot off.. was especially good if the horse was sore ...

If anyone knows where I can get a decent pair from the internet would be grateful.. tried to get some here, and they broke the first time I used them !!
