Nice job and very slowly done for people to SEE what is going on. Don't mind the KNOW IT ALLs and it's why they are watching your videos. So they can learn!!!!!! How about a thank you for this guy in his nice boots and letting us watch his service. Well done from another farrier!

I greatly enjoyed watching you work. Thank you.

really enjoyed watching this and learned a lot from it , thanks for showing this

Very nice demonstration

Thank you very much for response. This has been very helpful :)

I'm wondering where you get the invisible farrier stool from?

He sure has long front toes for an event horse. That's gotta put extra strain on him. Anyway, fascinating hearing you talk while working. Lovely work. Very impressive

Hi Joe, Normally there would not be much difference unless the farrier is hot fitting as Mike did. In that case they leave just a bit more length to allow for the burn of the hot shoe. Balance wise they would do no different. He might put a bit more roll on the edges of the hoof wall if he was leaving the shoes off. Thanks for the question.

my my what a diffrence nice sharpe tools make!!

I've been watching farrier videos for hours, so naturally I know better than this guy whose jargon I can't even understand.

U are a nice and expert farrier. I feel the cavallo rubber boot is good for this particular hoof. Thnx

I have been shoing various breeds for the best part of 20 years, most of them working horses for logging and farming. Though the guy has a knowledge he doesnt clean the hoofs enough or the frog line for that matter. You can get a good fit the way he does it, but you can only get a perfect fit when you adjust the shoe from the forge while hot.

3:18 is soooo satisfying.

thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm not sure the area you are referring to but I checked on the discoloration around the nail holes and it doesn't seem that is bruising.

Smart guy

I really like the final look of the hoof when he's done. Is this something a farrier should do every time they trim their hooves? My farrier doesn't do this..

Katie Kerst Hi Katie, We've been really negligent about answering the comments. Not all farriers do as much finish work to the outer wall- it's more cosmetic but some believe it also will help reduce issues with bacterial or fungal materials.

How much does the horses behavior affect your ability to work? Do you get horses that lash out? And you seem like a very skilled farrier, I'm going to become an apprentice farrier soon I hope.

Bruising is from the overlaid bars bruising his soles.

the red stuff on the Huff all through 10:00 is bruising. it gets tender if they step on a rock or something. and I didn't think your supper to dig to the soft spot of the good basis of they step on something it will hurt them bad and they can become lame or limp in that leg

it can also happen from tension or pressure on the joints /muscles in the foot flexor tendon etc ...in horses that are well looked after but do a lot of athletic work its more likely bruising is to do with that.

Would you trim the feet the same as you would if you were not shoeing the horse?

@Will-jg9km

6 жыл бұрын

No. Ever though you can, and there is nothing wrong with that trim in my opinion, you are supposed to " cup" it more. Meaning talking more sole out if that is possible. And leave more hoofwall.

Are horses easily acclimated to this procedure? I know it is not painful but it seems to take quite awhile and I am impressed by the horses patience. Is it something they enjoy?

Interesting, thanks for the response. I have watched several shoeing videos ( KZread rabbit hole) and the horses all seem to be very content. Now I have to google how long we have been shoeing horses. It is amazing we as humans have domesticated and bonded with some animals to such an extent that they trust us as much as they do. Thousands if not 10's of thousands of years of working together. Pretty wild, thanks for the video. You must have had horses kick you or close calls throughout your career?

This farrier is very skilled. However, maybe the horse should be rested, not in shoes, but boots until the bruising is healed.

I can't get over how much bruising on this poor horses hooves.

This horse would be so lame without shoes with heels that low and soles that thin

It's front feet are the shape as back feet so you'll have to put back ones on the fronts too

Never shave the frog like he’s doing… that’s why you see this bruising!!

Good god what a butcher

I know NOTHING about this... so I'm just asking as I heard in several opinions and videos that the frog should never be trimmed, so in curiosity, why did you trim the frog and can it actually be trimmed?

@FarrierProducts

Most farriers will trim the frog to make sure that debris is not trapped between the bars of the hoof and the frog and avoid problems that can occur like thrush or trapped gravel, etc.

@FarrierProducts

Hello Jess, thanks for the question. Most farriers will trim the frog along the edges to keep debris from being trapped between the frog and the bars of the hoof. This helps to avoid problems like thrsuh from developing.

Jess, that is just one school of thought. The way I learned was to never trim the frog, since it is so necessary to the circulatory function of the horse. I've never trimmed a frog, and the farriers I've learned from never have either, and if you're thorough there really is not a risk of thrush or abscess any more than there is normally. Obviously however, if the frog can confidently be trimmed without concern for quicking it, as shown in this video, there really isn't any inherent danger to it. My personal belief is that it is naturally very effective, so why mess with it?

We never trim the frogs on our herd, the frog has a natural wear break off points when they are ready to shed and new growth is strong underneath. Good contact with the ground essential. we are 100% barefoot.

what's meaning by breaking over? crack?

@FarrierProducts

3 жыл бұрын

break over is when the foot starts coming off the ground as the horse is moving forward,- think about when your foot is going forward and the toes are the last thing on the ground- that is the breakover point.

You have to consider there will be a shoe at least 8mm thick put on the foot. And the hoof contact with the ground is important for its function.

Wow, it had all that bruising and the hoof wall was in bad shape from the nails of the shoes, as well as he makes a comment about thin soles, but he took all that off the hoof and left the hoof bare and vulnerable...

Hi Belle, I think you'll see in a later segment that he shod the horse front and hind. In his trimming process he removed very little sole and wall, just what was needed to balance the foot. Thanks for the comments.
