These Shoes Were on Way Too Long!!! Trimming Front and Hind Hooves - Oddly Satisfying Restoration

[@mwp597]

Gotta love people that have never been around horse's tell you how a particular horse is feeling and how there communicating. And you spend every day all day round horse's of many different breed's. I could feel your frustration on the back hoof. Have a good day every day. Thanks for the video's.

[@susanb8222]

Very clean work! Horse’s hoof looks great ‘before’ u put on the shoe. U are fascinating to watch.

[@McCormickfarrier]

Well done bro! Just let them talk. They´ll never understand it anyway. They don´t know about our aching backs in the evening, they don´t understand what great relief it is to jump into the driver seat of the truck and just relax a few minutes before arriving the next stable.... "oh, it looks so easy how you do that... so what´s the problem?" - they´ll never understand 🤠 Stay save brother! Greetings from Europe

[@elizabethstampsmillsaps8608]

My shoulder and hip are screaming just watching this video! Yes, you are extremely patient with this horse. I'm learning a lot from you and your videos. Thank you for posting.

[@dbell3230]

I'm so glad you are looking a the bio mechanics of the hoof, shoe placement and leg movement. GREAT JOB!

[@131dyana]

You were right those shoes had to be replaced. Excellent job.

[@traceyrossberg4640]

You did a fantastic job with Duke Caleb, of course horses can be jerks, my best friend owned a jerk of horse, he went through some many farriers, he would kick, bite, and pull, but an excellent horse to ride, so just like humans, animals can be jerks too😂I loved how patient you were with him, excellent videos, excellent channel, thank you very much for posting Caleb, and you take care of yourself too.😂👍💙🐎

[@Nancy_S68]

I like that you describe what you are doing and why, and your stories about showing different horses.

[@raymondperez2972]

Hey Braddah! Good to hear from you again. You mentioned improving in the job that you do. There's always ways to improve on what you do. Like me in my job in food service as the years go by I end up for example tweaking recipes I know how to do and figure out how I can improve and make that recipe taste even better. It's an evolution as you work, you will find ways to improve, you will even try to improve in areas you are weak.ALOHA!!!!!!!

[@suellenspencer-eb2nv]

We all need to continue to improve our craft no matter what it is. Thank you for this video. Blessings to you.

[@rickking5225]

Horses can be finicky. Every creature has their own character. “Hats off to you” Thank you for sharing and the patience and determination. Job well done.

[@GinErik-g5g]

Thanks for the front and back hoof views! That's my choice--plus a shot of the horse itself.

[@jenniferlehman326]

Just more like this, Caleb. I love it when you do videos like this. It's very interesting and informative for me, as a horse trainer. I always learn so much. It helps me when it comes time to rasp foals feet for the first time. To know what shape they should be in. I try always to keep it in its natural shape, because they're so new, it's easy to do when they are young. Thank you for sharing another great video!! Your friend, the Retired Paramedic and Horse Trainer in Ontario, Canada, Jenn 💖 🇨🇦

[@wmtraver]

Caleb you are very good at this job. Also you are so informative! Keep up the great job!! 😊

[@miketroutman7365]

Great as usual Caleb. A man with a different spirit.

[@kasseopia09]

Your videos/editing are great! I absolutely love your voice overs. Thanks for another neat video!

[@kathym3188]

„Horses can’t be jerks“ - My horse can switch between being a jerk / clowning around and putting in the effort. She knows very well when and how she is misbehaving, but does it anyway to get my attention. But as soon as I give her a really stern talking and she realizes that this right here (usually the ferrier visiting) is important, she’ll calm down and perform as she should. So yeah, horses can and choose to be jerks. Anyone who says otherwise clearly underestimates how intelligent these creatures are.

[@Broughton_Main]

I like that you explain what you are doing and why . It bothers me that people criticize your work as you are doing a great job and from what I’ve seen, you know what you are doing and have your reasons for the decisions you make. Thank you for making these videos.

[@mychannel-bl2rw]

Thank you for the in-depth information. Too bad some horses are just difficult to shoe.

[@marieturpin722]

I've been watching your videos, and you do an amazing job! My gelding became lame (bone spurs in the pasture joint, toe callus, stretched laminae front toes), which was seen by two vets but was not given any answers on treatment or prevention. My shoer never said anything, since the shoe covers the laminea, and he would shape the hoof to the shoe. Due to the toes grew faster and he'd place the shoe back and trim/rasp the excess. He was my farrier for several years and I have to wonder if my gelding could of lived a better pain-free life. I did change farrier towards the end who specialized in laminitis and tried to give my gelding comfort, but by then, the damage was done and unreversable. ( Farrier used pads in the fronts) My gelding was laid to rest at almost 28 (had him since he was 4). I raised and broke a few horses in my younger years and always started with excellent ground manners and how to stand for the farrier. Zero tolerance for improper behavior, but a horse can sense a good farrier. I'd joke with my farrier about giving me a discount for how well my horses stood for him...but you guys earn every dollar!

[@MsBonsai2010]

Laminitis is a metabolic issue; too much rich forage & feed. Hay & hay only wouldve cleared it up

[@charlesbrown3814]

Like when you talk and describe what you are doing as you work. Great work!

[@judycatrambone2352]

Really enjoy how you explain don't only what you are doing, but why you doing what you are doing. I for one would like to see longer videos of you doing all 4 hooves of the horse. I would guess that there would be differences with each hoof.

[@hegeravdal4001]

Great video. Appreciate your step by step explanation, and your introduction of the tools you use. Duke was obviously a pain in the a**, but the result was so good to see.

[@pattyannbeaven9287]

Great video, thanks for all the information it helps me understand why you do things the way you do. 😊

[@MichaelFord]

Again... I have watch a number of your videos and really love the teaching aspect of your voiceovers. thank you for you content.

[@ShannonJenkins-xu5ko]

Horses absolutely can be jerks! Great job 👍🏻

[@marylethamatthews3231]

There are ornery animals just like ornery people. Thank you for sharing your energy.

[@katayoonforoughi2717]

Thank you for taking the time and sharing your knowledge with us patiently ☺️☺️as lots of us living in the cities and know nothing about horses but riding them occasionally 😂🙏🏼🙏🏼♥️♥️♥️♥️👍🏼👌🏼👌🏼

[@mrdee1986]

Brilliant job in my opinion, the critics can say what they want it's there perogative, however I'd like to see them do what you can do. For me this is an education

[@SanjaZefir]

Great video again! Thank you for sharing your thoughts and knowledge. Nevertheless, can we see a horse a little bit? Greetings from Croatia, Europe

[@siona405]

It has been a pleasure watching you continuously improving your craft. I can’t wait to see where you take it.

[@sallykirby4907]

Great job with Duke, the Princess!😂❤

[@justsaying3814]

Hey thanks for explaining the scar on your wrist. I was literally watching and wondering if it was from a slip of the knife while working. I stumbled upon your videos pretty much by accident, but am fascinated with your craft.

[@heathernelson5624]

You can hear the handler trying to reason with him but of course trying to reason with a horse is like trying to reason with a two year old.

[@traceyrossberg4640]

So true.👍😂

[@cindyrissal3628]

Oh, it's much easier. Horses have brains & make sense. If they're screwed up, it's bc there's a dorky human in their past somewhere.

[@loreyoliver7868]

Thank you for the education.

[@crazylifehomestead]

Thanks for your knowledge. I have to cut out the fronts of an appaloosa mare after the farrier was paid to do it. she was limping b4 the farrier got there and is still limping a week later. your video gave me the confidence to tackle this job.

[@sassy6292]

This is great! I just saw the heal in a whole new light! Heals have been a mystery to me in how they should be managed. Get the heal under the weight. Thank you.

[@LemonGray]

Hi, Firstly I would like to admire your viewpoint in life, then the excellent content in your programmes. Here is something back- I notice at a racecourse meeting in England a farrier had a magnetic strap on his wrist -simple ,clever. He also had a "French " shoeing light hammer which brought me to one of the finest shoeing hammer of all F. Dick, Germany- Have a look- real deal - and so are the knives. F. Dick are cutlers of excellent quality. Well done.

[@QuinnHorsemanshipTherapy]

So I am watching a ton of farrier videos, as my mare has become impossible with her feet with groom and farrier, she was raised i was her own as a pet for her first 6 years, turned her into a clever, difficult mare. She allows me to pick and raspberry her feet. So the journey is now for me to learn how to trim. (I am a 63 year old lady horse rider and coach.. So a brand new experienc is this journey of The making of a Farrier for Faye🦄

[@TerryBastian-j1q]

I really believe that you are excellent in your work as a farrier and probably an all around Cowboy. Good luck to and all 🇨🇱🇺🇸😀

[@joanlovelace7338]

Discipline = respect Leader= follower Kindness ≈ TRUST

[@denisemcmillan1050]

I loved hearing his human talk to her boy, what would we do without our animals to love? We want to buy land to live off of, I told my daughter we would have to baby them like we do our pups! LOL! It hurts me to see animals out in the cold, especially when we have ice! My daughter wanted to be a Vet but couldn’t afford it, she’s a Special Education teacher, she loves going to work!

[@simonshusse]

Great stuff! I'm watching his standing hind leg when you work the left hind hoof. Maybe he is uncomfortable on that supporting hind leg and not just particular about his hind hooves?

[@cathymarble3283]

Really enjoyed this!

[@marykaywohlert9228]

Have the owner watch Ryan Rose latest video it shows working with a horse that fights his hind feet. I lease a horse for the summer so I take him back to the owners place to have his feet done every 6 weeks. He is barefoot but their farrier never trims the frog he says it will shed naturally usually about a week later I have to deal w a big flap that is loose. Enjoy your videos thank you for sharing.

[@falcon8553]

Thank you for this video of the front and rear. Excellent work!! After my Father had MRI to see how bad the liver cancer had spread, the had this very worried look on his face. He said yo dad, sir it looks like it worse than we thought. So they started to show him the various dark spots. Except for the seriousness of the liver the rest were spots from where a horse had done some damage. The doc would say this dark spot and that spot and dad said no, that's where a horse hit me or the horse bucked and fell off. 😂. He would also say they all have personality of there own.

[@teksupddg]

Could you show what a forward grown heel when the horse is standing on it? The view i mean is at time stamp 10:02. I like watching your videos. Thx.

[@caleberickson_The_Dying_Breed]

Yes ill do a video on this here soon

[@Unwit213]

This video is so educational! Some animals I think have oppositional defiant disorder. 😂 They don't want to do something because you want them to do it

[@allieSunl]

Love your videos Caleb!

[@murderkitten]

"No bad horses/dogs/etc only bad owners" is said by people who don't realize that animals have personalities and free will. Yes, training helps mitigate most of those behaviors, but it won't completely eradicate it in an animal that chooses to persist, especially when that animal seriously outweighs you.

[@jamesheath831]

Animals do not have free will - they are not human.

❤❤❤thank you 😊 🙏

[@Sheila-z3i]

Thank you for explaining what you were doing to this horse. My question is you did one front hoof and 1 back hoof why not do all 4 hoofs.

[@leslieyoungwelch5916]

Great farrier carer!

[@trailwalker19]

Caleb... do you put a different number of nails in the hooves and shoes based on size and stability or some other reasons?

[@CatsSleepyHollow]

I have a jerk horse. He has to be reminded of his place all the time. And a grumpy donkey that was owned and mistreated by a farrier for 19yrs and now fights my awesome farrier for every inch of hoof.

[@billcarranza9683]

Love seeing this stuff, just curious what happens to the shoe once it’s taken off , does it get thrown away or recycled? Thank you for your hard work

[@denisethompson3819]

Good and thanks about letting people know it is not always neglect. But even so we should have a plan in play for just some hiccups that if it affects humans it also affects their animal responsibilities.🎉

[@LA-em4kr]

Wonder job... Love your channel ❤️ Please make sure you wear shoulder strap supports and do lower back exercises with this job. Before you know it, you'll aquire a rounded back and shoulders with lower back arthritis. An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of gold...

[@brotoubrotou3164]

What do you do with all the old shoes that you remove? Are they recycled? Love your narrations.

[@ThroughYeshuaislife]

Dang, he reminds me of my cat Gideon when I try to clip his nails😂

[@lindausher8863]

Very Nice!

[@Ishowequine]

My TB is not a fan of having his hind feet done. He used to have pain in his hocks and I think he resorts to thinking he still does. Some of my farriers would work his foot lower (not raise it as high while trimming) and that helped until we fixed the pain issue. He’s now bare in the hind (thanks to a good farrier shaping his feet and a good hoof supplement) and so his hind feet take 1/4 the time!

[@davidwhite4474]

Have you tried the cross over ? You back up against the opposite leg ( back only ) and pull the other foot / leg over to work on it .

[@DataPilot370]

I have an old mare who also fights like this gelding when her hind feet are worked on. Im pretty sure it’s due to arthritis. A gram of bute prior to the farrier’s visit makes a huge difference in her behavior.

[@ABuller2]

Awesome video!

[@fernandamota6537]

Ui! Que conforto e bem estar deve ter sentido este Cavalinho 🐴😊❤️👋

[@cnsult]

I know nothing about farrier work, but have a question. Why not do the rough in work by using a grinder (like done for cows) instead of the nippers?

[@na195097]

Yikes. Scary scar on the wrist/forearm. That must've been a majorly unlucky day. 😢

[@melissabryant2251]

Poor guy...he probably gets leg cramps😊

[@lindahollister5530]

Nice job.

[@Menoetia]

16:31 What people tend to forget (and non-horse people don't seem to understand) is that each horse is an individual with likes and dislikes, good moods and bad. You can have the vet, farrier, a trainer, a saddle fitter - you name it - come out and have a look at your horse, and _maybe_ it is an issue causing him to act out because of pain, traumatic past experiences, or lack of training. But sometimes... he's just a jerk because he doesn't like something and you have to learn to work around that _without_ spoiling them.

[@Menoetia]

PS: maybe there's no such thing as a "bad" horse, but there such thing IS a horse who's having a bad day and is *more* than happy to pass it on 😂

[@eileenschroeder9977]

How long to you keep the shoes on

[@horsetuna]

"The horse is just trying to tell you something" - yeah, he's telling us he's being a jerk.

[@Bittelillesilledille]

Horses that pull their hind legs away like this, do it out of discomfort due to the raised legs position. Usually they feel pain in the pelvic or sacroiliac region. If this happens when I give my horses hoof trim, I stop to give them release execises before I continue trimming. Immediately they stand much happier.

[@shanelamell2229]

You did a great job and yes the horse was being a jerk!! Thanks for sharing and have a nice safe day!!

[@evelynbeightel2246]

If their hoofs arent sensitive does it hurt them to.put on a shoe??

[@nathalyferreira3527]

How come it still looked dirty underneath? And yet the shoes was placed. Just out of curiosity.

[@Sheila-z3i]

Omg 😮 I bet you deal with a lot of horses who are pain in the rear. Just as some people are the same. When you file the front of the hoof is that like buffing a finger nail only its on a horse. I know dumb question.

[@duanagayle]

maybe he's ticklish! lol like all animals, i'm sure horses can have all types of temperaments!

[@jeanneharris5421]

[@dorotheaweber302]

Why didn’t you remove the grass from the inside of the hoof?

[@TerryBastian-j1q]

You sir are real good with those nippers 😀👍👆💪

[@lynnrivell6600]

Beautiful

[@jeno264]

Dear Mister Horse, maybe rethink the strategy of moving your hoof when someone is holding super sharp things up to it ... 😅

[@katyspouge3468]

How come, you dont burn the shoe on, to see, how good it fits?

[@workingdogslog3442]

There very well could be something bothering him. Lots of horses that have opinions on their hind end have a reason that hasn’t been discovered yet. I shod a horse that’s Big complaint was he felt less willing on the left rein. Nothing to do with me but several months later it was discovered he had a huge sliver jammed in behind his ear. No wonder he didn’t want to bend. I feel you though. I don’t enjoy the ones that yank and lean near as much as the horses who stand like saints.

[@TerryBastian-j1q]

You are good kinda kid😁

[@carsonsander-ferracane9267]

I only use JH Knives they’re awesome

[@katyspouge3468]

The owner is standing with Duke, isnt he...? Its his responsibility, to make sure, he trains his horse, to stand better for you 🤔😤 I have seen other videos, where the owner trained his horse, to behave and it worked... So it can be done, but we have to work with them and help them with this issue 🥺 ...But you're being really patient, good job 💯👍🏻💪🏻

[@mikelee7876]

Did u catch the knife on your wrist that’s a big scar.

[@shaunaclark9479]

Horses are like people. If a person can be a jersey so can a horse.

[@rijmee9453]

I think the reason why this horse is difficult is a hidden cause of pssm. these kind of horses are known to be difficult with the hind legs and are a bit more sensitive with nailing the shoes. in most cases what can help for them is to keep the legs a bit lower and more under the body they tend to get more quiet with their feet.

[@krisslewis2367]

PSSM is a genetic disorder and is not caused by shoeing.

[@mikebuckwheat7306]

Can't see in the video if you are or not but.....when I get one being stubborn like that I'll get that hock in my armpit and lean down a bit they tend to give up after a few tries when there is pressure back

[@historicalfashionpassion]

Some animals are more sensitive, and nervy, just like people….

[@nathansmith6098]

you can tell Duke is a since he doesn't mind his rear foot being finished :)

[@jojojaki2003]

hi ,why you dont use power tools ,its can be make cleaner and faster .and around the frog has dert ,can clean it with a brush, please

[@tombob9201]

I think you missed your fit if you look at the white line it’s round at the toe not broad like the shoe just an observation

[@caleberickson_The_Dying_Breed]

I definitely think I missed the toe a little bit too it's one of the things I'm working

[@travisgieger9410]
