Where did you learn to leave the heel that high and not level with the frog? How long have you been doing it this way? Ps. I agree with your approach completely.
@earthandmedicine3667 Ай бұрын
Thank you for your comment. I no longer leave the heel this high, as it was causing his angles to be too steep. I don't usually trim the frog unless it is uneven and causing buildup of debris and thrush. I am self taught and have been getting advice as I go, and am always trying to improve. At the time of this video I had been trimming my horses' hooves for about 2 years. I trim my horses' hooves a bit different now and need to update my video. I bring the heels down more now and I try to look at the angles of the pasterns to assess the balance of the hoof.

I like the part where he doesn’t cut anything, he just grabs it and peels it off allowing natural separation for sole depth. Same with the frog he peels it off and not cut anything. Afterwards he dose take his knife and cleans it up and shows a spot where there was dirt lines under waxing sole. (Place where I wold stop not knowing) With his knife he finds true sole on 1 side very easily and works his way around and at the same time he explains his mental mapping skills talks you threw it word for word describing every move before he attempts and commit to and why then he proceeds to prove him self .

thank you for picking up his hoof's with a purpose. always ask your self why and you did when you started with his hind leg you started at his quarters and why? because it all ready was cracking, and obvious. im with tubagoblin please start with your knife, your knife has a shape to it for a reason. the curve in your knife is so that you can reach before you nip. Bring his sole down as much as needed. you have to find it even if its a person finger nail width. this way you have a staring point with how much to nip. ill call it mental mapping. mental mapping you got it! after a while you start to under stand more and more as you and your horse grows together. start with your knife at the toe bring sole down as much as needed if you shave a fine piece of sole off as little as a human finger nail width and that is all that's need awesome. after you started with your/his knife advance to the nippers And again start at the toe and map 50 percent to the left and leave 50 percent of the toe to the left other words from the toe 50 percent to the inside and 50 percent to the out side nip 1 side evenly then come back to the toe and nip the other side as even/true as the other side. in the video you pick up a foot and pointed out the knob looking things those knobs on the front corners are pillars . they to have a function. As your horse walks the hoof has to tip. its all ways the opposite. its not what you want its what he needs. again thank you

Is there a website that you used to find out where the endurance race would be held? I have a qh mare who rides and drives. I also have a shetland who my son trained and I'll be riding him around to get him more fine tuned and then I'll be driving him a ton this fall. He should be good by then to drive! My hope is to get him a hyperbike for the Shetland and drive him all over the darn place with that! Endurance driving anyone? 😊
@earthandmedicine3667 3 ай бұрын
I totally feel the same, and getting into endurance riding has helped me find like-minded people and riders! I started by looking up AERC (American Endurance Ride Conference), and they have a list of rides and drives! I'm in the midwest so I joined UMECRA which is the regional endurance ride conference, and they have local rides and drives. The Facebook pages for both groups are very active and supportive to new people and can be a great resource to find events and partners. Most AERC regions have their own smaller regional groups, like UMECRA, and you can find intro rides/drives and clinics.

Oh I just realized you probably meant the hoof boots! Lol they are Easyboot Epic hoof boots and I also love these! I have tried different brands as well as different Easyboot styles, and the Easyboot Epic boots definitely stay on the best and have not rubbed their pasterns. They tighten around the hoof itself so there is not pressure on the pastern, and you can use the gators for extra security if you want. Sand does build up in them so that's a downside, but it's not too big of an issue unless I'm riding in lots of deep sand. They have great grip that lasts a long time.

@earthandmedicine3667 3 ай бұрын
Yes they are, I do a lot of gravel road riding and rocky trails and they have only fallen off my gelding's hind foot once while cantering. I think it was related to his one foot being slightly different shaped than the others, so that one just doesn't secure as well. None of the others have ever fallen off him, even at a gallop. He wears a size 0. They fit my gelding better than my mare. My mare's feet are a little smaller, she wears a size 00, and they have fallen off her back feet a few times at a gallop. Her's are also about 5 years old now too, so the rubber has probably stretched out and she needs a new set. Overall I think they are more reliable and cheaper than getting shoes, and there will always be issues with both boots and shoes so I prefer to deal with boots lol. I have also been able to replace the wires and straps for the Epics, without having to buy a whole new boot.

I have often looked at the car jacks and wondered if one would work for a hoof stand. Thanks for sharing your learning process. My trimmer taught me to do maintenance rasping between her 8 week trims and just in the last year i have taken on the complete trims. Check out David Landreville's trim methods. Implementing is teachings has made a big difference in correcting hoof distortion for my gelding who has not the best conformation in his legs. I was able to attend Davids clinic in person last September and it was a great experience. You are doing very nice work.

Hi, I'm a farrier and I'm sure you've learned a lot since this video was posted but I wanted to share some things. This horse was extremely upright in this video. The foot being symmetrical and the foot being balanced are two different things and medial/lateral balance is what is important. A concept of anatomy is a MUST. When a horse is so upright like that it adds so much unnecessary strain. Keeping the foot symmetrical does not fix the problem. The flare is happening because the foot is not balanced. Start with your knifework. In a lot of cases you can take off the top layer of the frog until you can see the point of the frog. Meaning you can see where the "tip" of the frog actually blends into the sole of the foot. This helps you know how much sole you can take off with your knife. Knifework is important because it allows you to actually see how much hoof wall you need to take off with your nippers. With many horses you need to take off more on one side to ensure the foot is balanced. Taking an equal amount from each side isn't usually the way to go. I also would almost never start my nipping at the quarters, especially if you aren't an experienced farrier. It is so easy to create low spots in your quarters.
@tubagoblin 5 ай бұрын
There is SO much more hoof that needed to come off. You don't want the heels to be completely even with the toe like that. The plane of the foot that needs to be met isn't just a horizontal line. The frog is supposed to be able to actually make contact with the ground as it is an important concussion absorber and traction device. You were hesitant to take off heel because you said that's just how he stands. He's only standing like that because of how the foot is trimmed. The goal of farriery is to correct these issues to get the horse comfortable and closer to the ideal foot. When you're dressing also make sure to put a big bevel on there so the hoof wall doesn't chip or crack. This is not meant to sound stern or mean in any way I'm rooting for you just want to see that horse comfy and help ya keep learning :)

Hi thanks for the nice video. If you are the same gal from the video I just saw riding a paint or pinto horse wearing a GIRO helmet I have something to share : a Giro helmet is made for bicycle riding, not horse back riding. If you have a hard fall and land on your head you will not have the protection you may really need. Horse helmets have certain requirements to meet equine riding standards. Serious falls or tree branch collisions on horses are fairly common. Riding without the proper head gear can lead to traumatic brain injuries or worse. Please go buy a proper helmet so that you are safer and so that other people watching your videos will not make the same mistake. Your life could depend on it. Hugs and wishing you lots of happy, healthy horse rides, Ariel and Teddy the paint 🐎

@@earthandmedicine3667 You're so very welcome ! However the same is true for snow board helmets: not designed for riding horses. And again the young and inexperienced people who watch your chanel might accidentally be misguided. Pretty much all saddle shops in our area ( I live just a few miles from the Iowa border ) sell various brands of riding helmets. I use a Troxel helmet because it fits me well and was inexpensive. The fit has a bearing on if it will give you the best protection. If you did an internet search of " best helmets for horse back riding" lot's of brands would obviously come up. I bet there is even a zillion KZbin videos about different brands and how to check the fit of your helmet. You are doing such a great job of sharing about your life with horses and I know you would be saving lives by wearing the right gear in you beautiful films. Also used helmets that may have sustained internal damage from a previous accident are not recommended...this is also for safety reasons. I am also what my generation called a "granola gal" totally into all things natural and kind to Mother Earth. I am still that person but now in a much older body, so I hope I don't vex you with my grand-motherly advice. More love and hugs from the fields and forests to you and yours ! 🌳🌾🐎🌾🌳

Glad I found this video! Great info. We bought our Daughter her first horse (a 4yo OTT) and he's a smart beautiful horse but not knowing much about horses in general we relied on recommendations and long story short the most recent farrier absolutely screwed up his last trimming and now that he's jumping (training him to be a Hunter/Jumper) he developed a limp and thought he hurt something jumping. We actually have a Chiropractor that puts him back into alignment and she found the farrier didn't clean his frogs etc. and trimmed his hooves so uneven he's walking like we'd walk in a pair of shoes with a missing heel. We no longer use that farrier but now he's only allowed to walk, trot, canter until the Chiropractor makes a return visit...in 10 weeks! My Daughter was crushed because now he cant even show this summer. I'm trying to get all the knowledge so I can start doing it or at least know what to look for so thank you.

Thank you so much for your comment! Usually during the true winter it is too windy/icy to do a lot of trail riding, so I end up doing more light arena riding in the covered arena. I try to get out to the ranch at least every other day, and sometimes every 2 to 3 days if it's a really busy rotation. I try not to let them go too long without checking on their blankets etc because I've had some bad surprises with injuries before. Sometimes it's really hard to stay motivated to keep riding when it's so cold, so I'll push myself to at least do a little ground work or get on bareback and do a few laps around the arena. I try to also to get to the gym or do a workout at home to keep my own strength and endurance up, as well as stretching!
