    I am considering pads for my arabian. She has the arabian high/low in the front. However, I wonder if she needs it at all. Her right front (low) seems to grow outward in the toe quicker(it SEEMS) this hoof has a frog nearly level with the sole and it is very flat. Perhaps she should be shoed???

    TY for you video. I actually use this technique for my horses rear feet. She is 12 years old and STILL kicks and bites when her feet need to be cleaned. Once the foot is up, she is fine. HOWEVER, I cannot hitch her and I fear she will hurt herself yanking her head away when I do this. She has already broke her halter. I need your help because regardless of how much we do this, she is very smart and when I am guarding from a front kick or bite, she kicks with the rear. The rear is a battle and I don't want her to be afraid. HELP!!

    Do you address the diet and management of the horse as species specific before you put the clog on?

    Is CBD competition safe? I don’t feel like listening to an hour of this - my attention span has been corrupted by the internet. I don’t think it is competition safe, however.

    Correct, CBD is banned in most competitions.

    I'd love to know if that is the same Colin Smith I learnt my trade under. I'm a farrier in Australia and our trade school teacher at the time was a fella from the uk by the name of Colin Smith. Terrific fella and a incredible tradesman and teacher. Had a huge impact on the industry over here.
