@JaneCleveland21 күн бұрын
@@honeykin7890 The hair around a horse's hoof is called feathers. Some breeds are known for their trademark long, fluffy feathers. Ex: the Budweiser Clydesdales. Many working horse breeds have feathers and they should be left long.

Wonderful trimming! I started trimming my own horse a little over a year ago, and can definitely agree on how much WORK the rasping is!! Because I do her myself, I tend to do weekly touch-ups with the rasp, and even rasping that little often has me dripping sweat. Another nice thing about doing weekly maintenance, is I can leave that "extra" material, because I know I'm on top of things, and it will never get overgrown. So I don't have to pare her down to try to make it last six weeks. I have also found that keeping her frogs trimmed up has almost completely eliminated the thrush she was always having, back when I had a farrier who never touched them.

It must be so hard to know there are horses you have worked on who need continuing help from you and for whatever reason the owners don't bring you back. I had such guilt when my farrier came a week or two later than usual -- and I had darn good reason because I traveled! I respected my farrier as much if not more than my vet. No hooves No horse. I was blessed with horses who could go barefoot but I made it a priority to keep those bare feet in tip top condition. I taught them to stand in a bucket or tub to soak in water if I didn't have a creek to soak them in. That made such a difference when the farrier came to do his magic. Great lesson and video.

I work in healthcare and it was wild to hear you say 'thrush' in the context of horse hooves lol. I usually see it as oral thrush in people, so it was very cool to learn that thrush (or something with the same general name of 'thrush') can be found in such a drastically different part of a completely different animal.

We bought a thoroughbred mare that wasn't neglected as such, but her feet were horrendous. They had been hacked just before she was dropped off to us so that they were actually hoof shaped, but she was sore for a few days after. We've had her about two years now, and the damage is almost fully grown out - they'll never be very pretty, but she's in the paddock 24/7, very occasionally ridden in the paddocks, and very happy. Our farrier who has been "retired" for three years has been teaching my stepdad basic farrier skills so we can keep the our old horses comfortable when he ACTUALLY retires 😅
