There’s no such thing as toe leverage though, and horses land flat footed. You can’t remove flare from above, only from the bottom, it just has to grow out and look ugly until the new hoof angle grows down.

This horse would benefit from more toe wall support so glad you didn’t take too much.

Bars biggest cause of heel abscesses

Oh here’s my bar video 😊

Did you take those bars off the sole, they looked smooshed down

that is a super cute dog

Now every body can trim.😂

right down to the HSP love this

Ai paura di sporcarti. Be afraid of getting dirty. The explanation is more than satisfying.

wow, that is very informative. Well explained Kristi. Thanks

It has been the same here in Montana this winter. So crazy in the temperature changes. We are constantly going from frozen to mud, it is an absolute mess here! Is this a special kind of salt you use to keep your arena soft and how do you do it?? Also, what specifically is the mulch (hog fuel) you use? Is the crushed gravel you use the same as pea gravel? That bird in the background is the exact same one we always hear calling around our place, maybe they need to get together! haha

Great video. My 2 TBs frequently pull their feet away while I'm trying to trim, hinds more than fronts. But I'm much slower than you are & they get impatient with me although they have nothing better to do than to relax & enjoy a pedicure. 😂

a very very poor job

leave it to a proper Farrier

Leave it to a proper farrier as you will only cause problems

Really excellent video! You do a fantastic job of explaining what you do and why. This is a functional barefoot trim that is good for the horse.

This has been so helpful. I am recently doing a huge amount of research on trimming my own horses feet after countless farriers in my area ghosting and not accepting new clients. This line of work is so hard to find a good, caring person. So thank you for explaining all the steps and the reasonings behind it.

Thank you for helping us get through winter with our horses.

I'd love to see videos with a headmounted camera. I have a hard time seeing the angles of the rasp and the balance of the foot without being able to look down from the heels

16:16 ... I made this exact mistake two weeks ago. I had my knee behind her leg but too far in. She pulled back and clocked my knee. Torn ligament.

Do you have a video of trimming heels with a flare?

Thanks, well done

I love your explanations. You are a brilliant farrier! Thanks!

If you use prevention how did your horse get thrush ? Just curious. I'm tryingvtobfigure out how to totally prevent it

Thanks, very helpful

? By doing that, you're reducing rear support even further, adding strain to the flexor tendon, seems to me. and for what purpose? This is one of those horses that needs to be shod, with extended heels and wedge pads or maybe swelled heels, after trimming the hoof naturally. Maybe square the toes.

With each trim you reduce the size of the hoof capsule and eventually trim the pony into mechanical laminitis. I did these same trims for 10 years from 2005 to 2016 and I documented it all. And then discovered we were led by Jamie Jackson and Hildred Strasser to trim the feet out of these horses to try and form them into an image of that one dead wild horse cadaver jackson said was the perfect wild foot. How many horses have gotten laminitis that you have been led to blame on diet? How many horses really do not "transition" that are never mentioned that also gets blamed on diet? Well it's the trim, you are gradually trimming the whole back of the foot out of this horse and I will be surprised if his feet held together,, through some do, but I would like to see this pony now. the laminitis he's experiencing is from this kind of trim.

You are the best at explaining things! I wish you had more videos! I just rescued a pony who’s feet are terrible, plus he’s got a club foot. Trying to learn more about hooves

No! Save the Heel! Dropping heel causes collapsed Heels. Coffin Bone not parallel to the ground unless trimmed that way. My understanding having experience over 40 years. Keep foot upright for a more Sound with less heel pressure. Your horse will thank you for it.

I don’t get it, you are making the heel the lowest point on the capsule ! No wonder the capsule continues to run forward !!? This was started 20 years ago by Pete Ramey, created such a mess of under run heels and long toes. Please explain why you do this…..thank you

Thank you for such a wonderful video! And your camera angles from your perspective are so helpful! Thank you So Much!

with Walter and Butteglug running things we can't even get some lines of shoes and glues, transpo or material shortages, Bring back America...........why are there no men taking interest in this ??? reverse the roll off of your shrink wrap it will allow you to put pressure without snapping it off,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, epoxy glue?

Oh my goodness this was sooo helpful thank you!!!!!

Holey Cow! You are Amazing! Your presentation is lacking Ego❤❤❤❤😂😂😂 I want in! Going to figure out hiw to get on your FB group. Thank you so, so very much.

Best detailed description ever of barefoot trimming process.

Are you going to do a 45 degree angle on the rest of the hoof wall rolling it over for strength?

Thank you very much, Kristi!

May I ask why you are thinning the wall to address the flare? Because that's basically just for aestetic reasons. I understand that you need to do that for clients, but there's no need for that in your own horses right? In a different video you mention that you do it to reduce leverage in the flare. Wouldn't a big roll be a better way to do that?

I appreciate you making this video. Not many do POV explanations and it’s literally impossible to grasp the depth of a hoof from accross the room 😂Thankyou for the education haha x

Great explanations. Thanks

Well done. Well explained Kristy.

I appreciate this video because I had a mare with this problem and she did not begin to make improvements u til I removed the leverage by rasping the dorsal wall. Rasping from the bottom made mare sore. The part of video where you discuss distal decent and the extensor process is very interesting. I am dealing with this issue currently.

Thank you for sharing your knowledge. When you explain the theory and logic behind the action it enabled me to rasp my horses hoofs. I still have more tools to buy and with your knowledge I will be able to make the right purchase.

Thank you for sharing.🐴

I ordered those two products and the spray and a hoodie! 😁

Hi! I just found your channel! My horses tend to get thrush now that the snow is melting and the mud is here! I'm in Joe Rich! We're neighbours! I'll take a look at the products you've mentioned! 😄

Why is a high bar bad? What does that mean for the horse?

What is the angle of the collateral groove? Like when you are looking at the bottom of the hood, you are looking at the bottom of the bone, but is that bone flat? How do you know if you can’t see the bone?
