Thank you, Lindsay! I took the 15 day challenge and learned so much. I love these “It’s Not Rocket Science” videos. They really help me as I try and help rehabilitate my mares.

Wow, thank you so much for the detail. I trace this farrier misconception back to the 1990’s in the literature I was studying, as well as the clinics I attended back then. They all went to a 4 point trim vs the 3 point you are showing. My horses have had thin soles since I started the 4 point trim, moving the breakover back and raising the heels as the vets around here confirmed. Errrrr. I am currently rehabbing one from laminitis, his feet are growing out, yes funking looking, but sound and improving with each trim. ( P3 was good in his X rays, this was a diet management issue of an extremely greedy easy keeper on my part.) I am now trimming my 3 ( that’s all I trim) following the HSP. What drastic improvements since July 2024. Thank you! Note, in a book by a fellow names Dave Millwater - Millwaters’s Farriery, era 2012, he notes”””raising the heels to radically increase the hoof angle is an aspect of treatment that popularized by ….in the 1990’s….,but is diametrically opposed to the classic approach of lowering the heels to re-align the phalanges”. So much to learn!

Thank you for this how interesting - all born out of confusion because they don't follow the natural foot. 🚀

Thank you very much for this video! One question: You draw the origin of the frog apex, where does the rest of the frog come from? From below P3? Could you make a nice diagram: healthy hoof - sick hoof from the side - from below, like in the video, for Facebook, that would be great!

[@simonetichelaar2021]

Thanks again! I understood it all, except why the bar grows over and in front of frog? I know it does I see it in my horse, is it like the toe callus, the bar overgrows protecting something? I am really fighting bars, every time I trim them flush to sole, but I still find bruising under the bar the next trim. I would really appreciate it if you could elaborate a bit more on those "retched" bars

[@lindsaysetchell]

Good question! Ok so when the bars and the accreted bar material are overgrown they create pressure points, when you find bruising underneath them, that is showing you they have been under pressure. Extra bar material is not there to protect anything, it causes more problems by allowing pathogens to get under the overgrowth and cause pressure points which are uncomfortable. I'll do an 🚀 lesson on bars soon 👍
