I just watched your trim job on Lakota from four months ago when her feet were so dry. It’s interesting to see the difference here. Nice. My horse is a pretty big guy, but Lakota’s feet are the size of dinner plates. Farriers work SO hard and they’re usually the most important professional for our horses on a regular basis. No hoof, no horse….

Caleb, thank you for your code. The barn owner used it and ordered another 6 hoof rest stands for the barn. So now there is no fighting at lesson time when people are grooming their horses. We now have extra stands, so that if an owner is there to hack out with their horse while a lesson group is getting ready, they have a stand they can use as well. So, in total, we now have 11 of these great stands at the barn!! Thank you again for the code!! Your friend, the Retired Paramedic and Horse Trainer in Ontario, Canada, Jenn 💖 🇨🇦

We always made sure each horse to be trimmed or shod had perfectly cleaned hooves and if there were feathers, those were wrapped up out of the way. It's only fair to have your horses ready to be worked on. Also we always had cold drinks and sandwiches for the farrier!

It appears to me that the hoof stand would be easier to use if it were more shaped to actually hold the hoof, and not so much of a bump sticking up. It's too easy for the hoof to just slide right off...

It doesn't quite work that way unfortunately. This is the design that works the best nothing short of tying the hoof to something solid is going to stop them from moving or make them keep the hoof on the stand

Would it be preferred to have heavy drafts shod if they're working horses since they're prone to flaring, or is regular and proper hoof care enough? I see a lot of videos of draft horses with huge amounts of flare and dishing but what I also see a lot on those horses is overgrown frogs and laid over and bent or broken bars, is that just how heavy draft hooves will be or is there a way to stay ahead of that problem?

It must be odd if you'd go from trimming her to a Shetland! I'm in wild horse country in Canada bordering with Montana and yep, we're pretty dry here ... horribly bad this year. Odd how she had both hooves split in almost the exact spot in the front. That trim is sure going to help if her arthritis was acting up and making her antsy, which would make sense in that weather.

In UK, was at the stables when the farrier came to do Triggers hoofs (3 year old Clydesdale) . Everything went well till the front left, hoof up on the jack , farrier bent over grasping hoof with knees. Trigger had been excellent all the way, over an hour for the first 3 hoofs, he just "settled" and the farriers back went out, slipped disc.

I have watched many of your videos along with the Idaho school. You guys are great. Regarding your comment about being fit to do this kind of work: My wife always wanted a horse. So after a time we got some land and horses and have been doing the homestead thing for about fifty years. I am an avid DIY'er. Metal worker, welder, cabinet maker, gardener, machinist all of that stuff. So, I wanted to take care of the horses feet on my own. The internet was in its' infancy and You tube was not invented yet so I bought every book I could find and picked a lot of people's brains. Since our horses were just for riding on the property I never had to worry about shoes. So what I did was take care of their feet weekly so they NEVER looked like some of the horrors you guys have to deal with. I can attest that it is absolutely hard work. So, I learned to train horses, mostly so I would not get hurt. We don't have horses anymore but, I remember only too well the patience it took to do their feet correctly. What is very satisfying to me is that after seeing videos of experts like you and others, I found out I was doing it right all along. Thank you from a seasoned citizen for all you do.
