In re: This is a physical job. OH YES IT IS! I trimmed my own mare once. I couldn't walk for a week. TIP YOUR FARRIERS!! They'll refuse. Do it anyway. This is a hard job, and a labor of love. It takes tremendous knowledge and skill.

[@donnam5060]

Instead of a cash tip they might refuse easier, get them a gift card to their supply store or a local gas station for coffee or gas.

[@leslien276]

I love that you explain step by step what you’re doing. Great video. Thank you.

[@Butlerajanimaljam]

I come here for the horse ASMR. These are some beautiful horses! I do really appreciate you explaining all the odds and ends and terms you use for cleaning the hoof and shaping the shoe. It's very fun and educational!

[@marthaanderson2656]

what a nice fellow. his feet are in amazing condition for being shoeless for so many months. Clearly he is a rock.

[@carolynstewart8465]

You are a maestro! So well explained❤❤❤❤

[@CobusM1]

So nice to watch someone who knows what he is doing, job well done 👏 I think this is a trade that is becoming very scarce.

[@karenmaverick8476]

Beautifully done ✔️ & happy horse 🐎 😊

[@karenwright9123]

Beautiful horse🐴❤

[@christinekesler8964]

Absolutely gorgeous horse and such a good temperament ❤️

[@ricoludovici2825]

You explained how you got that keloid scar above your wrist on one vid. Your hands show you have been working overtime lately. Allow me to offer a suggestion and you are free to ignore it. I won't mind. I used to work barehanded in construction and my hands got really chewed up. Then I discovered mechanics gloves. I didn't like them at first, but I cut the fingertips off down to the first joint. That was magic. I had the same sensitivity but something more between me and the blade, the steel, the broken stud. You might try it out. I use them all the time now. Plus, they come in different weights so you can find one that leaves you the sensitivity but still offers protection.

[@DyanEsoap]

What a beautiful horse! 😍

[@gregm312]

beautiful horse

[@erynd2524]

He’s a big beautiful boy! His hooves looked perfect!

[@jeannettethorsby7085]

I like that your explaining things as you went along. Thank you. Omgoodness what a beautiful and large horse. 🌷🙂🦋

[@btcrazee1]

I don’t know how you can work like you do all day. It makes my back hurt just watching. Let alone wrestling their legs. Professional!!what a magnificent horse he is!!

[@debraimmer260]

Great video as usual. Noticed you are wearing a wedding ring😊 So happy for you!

[@caleberickson_The_Dying_Breed]

Yep lol married 2 years I use to not wear a ring afraid of getting hung up but I use the silicone ones now

[@nicolecourt7829]

Thank you for your videos and clear explanations . We ear you love your job and horses..

[@Lynn-uz2ms]

I have been watching 👀 your video's for a while now and just love them I still learn something new every time I watch, keep up the great work 👍 😅lynn75 in Missouri 15:28 15:30

[@traceyrossberg4640]

That is one gorgeous horse! Wow! Excellent video as always Caleb, really love them, thank you, and take care.👍💙🐎

[@lindag4484]

Hard work but rewarding. You are making a difference for every horse you work on.

[@Pamudder]

I am astonished that anyone would doubt that farriery is a highly physical job. I also suspect that a farrier is very prone to stress and repetitive motion injuries.

[@caleberickson_The_Dying_Breed]

You are correct injures

[@underthebluesky92]

Just love the educational aspect of your videos, I learn so much, thank you.

[@pythonpete8528]

Most people that use them mics put them on their hats

[@Majoofi]

I curious about how you take care of your back with all that leaning over.

[@yessabell1707]

❤❤❤

[@ArtzyJ9]

Clip the mic to the side of your hat to eliminate breath sounds

[@cathy-annemannix8898]

Suggestion.... Clip your mic to your cap brim. 😁😁

[@ms_katia2267]

👍🏼

[@healingsprings11]

Im no expert but how come you don't rasp or sand to the top of the hoof? Some farriers oil the hooves but it's obvious not all do that. I enjoy your videos as you are very thorough and compassionate.

[@graysonjudd6634]

I have a question, I know there aren't many left in the world, but how do wild horses deal with the hoof nail growth? These domesticated guys have you to help them, but what does a wild horse do in leiu of a hooficure?

[@megumimuse7051]

Random question: I've seen people working an anvil hit it every other strike. Do you know what that's called and/or why?

[@MooreFishing-ky3wq]

What is the “ frog “ and how did it get that name ?

[@anthonyhargis6855]

Why aren't they shoed year 'round?

[@nicolecourt7829]

Yes I see your nails are high. Does it not make the wall weaker if we nail too high ?

[@caleberickson_The_Dying_Breed]

Actually it's the opposite it weakens the hoof wall if they are low

[@nicolecourt7829]

@@caleberickson_The_Dying_Breed thank you, didnt know that.👍

[@amybaker5241]

Try clipping your mic to the brim of your hat, doesn't get in the way and unless you have a difficult horse it will stay put.😊

[@cree_VI]

Really beautiful horse. How about your back? I can't imagine to be bend in that position.

[@user-hf3cn1eo1c]

How long does it take for you to do a full set on average?

[@artsymarxist]

second!

[@allieSunl]

How many hours do you work a day? I assume you work over 40 hrs a week, but I’m curious how many hours being a farrier takes.

[@megumimuse7051]

Probably depends on how many people want their horses shoed and how many horses they want shoed that day. I imagine it's not a consistent 9-5.

[@user-jq1yw7vd2o]

And that’s without the horse leaning on you 🙂

[@trailwalker19]

nice! do you ever shoe freisians or other show horses? if so I would love to see a video like that...thanks Caleb

[@cicada-the-bugdog]

first!

[@foxyember]

was thinking if you place your mic on the brim of your hat it should still catch your voice but not catch as much of your breath.

[@caleberickson_The_Dying_Breed]

I'll give it a try thank you

[@AhOhITzXray]

Bro you gotta star wearing gloves or something, your hands get more and more jacked up every video lol 💅🏽gotta take care of the girls.

[@rcknross]

end of the day, Big Horse, Big Feet, so big cuts, sharpen the knifes. Picking up the breathing is great, better sense of the work hearing you labour.

[@kristinemichaels1985]

funnest is not a word most fun is correct sorry, it bugs me

[@trumanhw]

didnt bring the right tools....

[@caleberickson_The_Dying_Breed]

Which tools would that be

[@jaynedavis3388]

Dude. If you want to get a better fit don’t “picture the shape of the hoof”. Instead, try *taking* a picture of the hoof & work to that reference alongside using your memory
