Hand tool used by the shoeing-smith to trim the tail beyond the tailbone of draft horses (1). It is tang-shaped with relatively long (approx. 30-40 cm) arms, with or without wooden handles. One jaw is cut in a U-shape and is hollow so that the cutting blade fits on the other jaw; exceptionally it is made of wood (2). The tail is cut just after the sacrum so that it cannot grow back. The wound is burned out with a cauterizing iron. [MOT] (1) N.L.I .: s.v. brûle-queue, reports that the horse's tail was cut off after it suffered a stroke. (2) STOQUART: 23.

A digging fork is used to work or crumble stony or strongly cohesive (clay) soil and to dig in manure. In the (vegetable) garden, unlike the garden spade, the roots of the plant are less damaged when transplanting with the digging fork. For the same reason, the gardener also prefers this tool for sticking out creepers and shrubs. A slightly wider and longer fork is used as a potato lifting fork. See also the little digging fork.
