BAREFOOT TRIM: Trimming a Horse with a TOE CRACK - Farrier ASMR

In this video I trim a horse that actually has really nice hooves. I balance and trim all the structures and address a toe crack in one front hoof and treat it with Healing Hoof Clay. This video has voiceover so I can share my internal monologue while trimming with y’all!

[@LindaNiquette-vh5bx]

First time watching! Actually didn't know there are female farriers, not that there shouldn't be 😊. We are just as capable! You explain what you're doing which is helpful to me. Awesome ❤. Can tell you are very conscientious and thoughtful of the babies.

My pleasure 😊! Thank you for watching!

I appreciate how you handle horses. I've seen where some are very rough and take a lot of sole or frog off. Thank you for your wonderful talent

[@The_Female_Farrier]

Thank you so much! I was thinking about making a video discussing those topics. So many farriers take off too much sole and frog in my opinion.

[@jeannevera8672]

That is so great that you can feel the tension in the leg. It makes so much sense. It reminds me if the sing, the ankle bones connected to the leg bone, the leg bones connected to the hip bone.....

Quick question: I have a horse whose left front foot is turning inward. Can I attempt to help correct that by ever so slightly making his lateral heel a tiny bit lower than his medial side? Just a couple more swipes with the rasp each time I trim him? I know I need to stay mindful that this is going to be an adjustment for his joints - therefore the term ‘ever so slightly’. TIA

[@The_Female_Farrier]

This is a hard one to answer without having my hands on the horse. When you pick up that leg and hold it under the horse look at the fetlock joint as it articulates. Does the leg stay straight as it bends? Or does the distal limb pivot to the outside or the inside? If it pivots to the inside your horse is pigeon toed and I wouldn’t try to correct it. If the leg bends straight and the hoof capsule is distorted then I would actually make my adjustment to the medial side of the hoof. This will shift the toe laterally. Hope that helps!

[@skidaddle32]

I finally got a good look. When I pick his foot up and hold it under him (me facing toward his back leg(s), his foot rotates in at the fetlock. Knee to fetlock is straight. When I got him 3 years ago, his two front feet were nice and straight. My vet said she thinks his trimmer is causing his foot to rotate inward. I can’t ride him due to pedal osteitis diagnosis - I just want to keep him as pasture sound and comfortable as possible. He is only 12 years old. TIA for suggestions.

[@The_Female_Farrier]

@@skidaddle32 sorry it’s just so hard to tell without pictures. Usually when it rotates in at the fetlock joint the horse is slightly pigeon toed and the hoof capsule is accentuating it. I have also seen horses that have pedal osteitis hit hard on the lateral side of the hoof and that wear pattern will make them appear pigeon toed. But it could be coming from how he is moving. If you haven’t already I would try putting him on short trim cycle to see if making small changes frequently brings him back into balance.

Great video! How high do you leave the hoof wall above the sole

[@The_Female_Farrier]

Thank you! Depends on the horse!

[@LynnWelke]

Can you let me know the information on your hoof packing, I need some for my mare

[@The_Female_Farrier]

[@noxeswow]

@The Female Farrier have you bin back to that horse. how much have it heal was it??

[@The_Female_Farrier]

It has not fully healed yet. Owner is currently soaking it 3x/week. If it has not improved I will resect it.

[@noxeswow]

@@The_Female_Farrier thanks for info. can you do new video for it??

[@The_Female_Farrier]

@@noxeswow if I resect it I will definitely try to take video!

[@MC-uf1ts]

Screen is black

[@The_Female_Farrier]

It should be working! I just tried it and it played fine. I’m not super tech savvy though. My go to is to always restart an app or my web browser. Beyond that I’m not sure why the screen would be black 🙁.

[@MomBuilds]

It says asmr but you're talking over all the asmr sounds?

[@The_Female_Farrier]

ASMR can be visual and/or audio to my knowledge.
