Barefoot Trim, Bar Trimming

This short video clip is about trimming the two different types of bar: vertical bar and embedded bar.
Barefoot trimming doesn't have to be hard and it doesn't have to be controversial. Do what is in the best interest for the horse.
Our Online Hoof Anatomy, Theory and Barefoot Trimming Course will give you the knowledge to assess your horse's hooves and make sure they are getting a trim that is functional for them. We also discuss common hoof pathology and rehabilitation.

Thank you so much for such a helpful video, I have watched this one a few times. I am learning how to do barefoot trimming on my own pony, I have been self-educating and taking it slowly. I think your videos are very helpful!

Are you watering the hoof before treatment or are your knifes that sharp? If its the knife PLEASE do a sharpening video! Thanks in adavance.

[@oksnhc]

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

[@oksnhc]

If a bar is higher then the hoof wall or the solar surface, during the peak impact phase of the stride as the boney column descends downward it applies pressure downward into the navicular region. If the bars are high it exacerbates this pressure and places it on the DDFT where it runs over the bar and under the navicular bone.

I can't tell - Are you left handed or right handed?

[@oksnhc]

I am left-handed, but I strive to be ambidextrous when trimming as it always provides a more balanced trim ;)
