[@avrilcrisp30]

I used to go with my husband who is a farrier to show heavy horses for work and showing. Im amazed at these small upright feet on such a large horse, its like wearing high heels. I see the sense of a crate but think tying up the feet could be done to offer more support and comfort, this way has got to prove painful and very uncomfortable so its not surprising Ive seen so many Belgians fighting not to go in them. Beautiful harness.

[@Heavens-Humanaterian-Army]

I'd love to see a much more modern stock desighn that is strong safe and comfortable for both animal and human...I love the crush and electric hoof winch that the hoof gp uses on massive bulls ,it keeps them calm and immobilised and no heavy lifting at all for the human...someone needs to desighn a horse version of that.

I used to be a farrier in the UK, we never had stocks like this, or indeed tools like this, particularly the mechanical grinder, but it all makes sense to me!

There's one near me on a working farm in Devon, my boys going off there to be broken to ride and drive 😊 only place I've ever heard having one over here though and he's not going in a round pen as he'd break it at around ton in weight lol they will need that stock haha heavy boy! Lol

That is a cool shoeing stock. The way the rear leg is strapped and cranked up.. awesome. The front foot rests... I've used the oak Yoder style stock which can be a pain in the butt. This sucker is very well designed. How about a link to the maker or plans? 8/24/2015 Edit: Since posting this I've been modifying an oak Yoder style stock to have some of these Belgian features. When it's complete I'll post a link to pictures of it. 3/18/2023 EDIT: Well, I did make those mods to the Yoder stock and they worked perfectly. I was then able to trim the hooves of two full size Belgian drafts for several years with no problem all by myself. But in 2020, the place I volunteered at, stopped their horse hay ride service and gave away the Belgians. They sold me the stock thankfully, but I haven't used it since.

[@lynnehuff9659]

Cool. I saw a real old oxen stock, on a video. I understand that one needs a stock to work on oxen feet. Rockin J Farrier built one somewhat like this one.

[@dkeith45]

@@lynnehuff9659 The main reason I found is ease. Trimming a normal size horse usually isn't too difficult if they try to pull their leg away from you, but any larger animal, like the Draft above or an oxen can really put a strain on your back. That's where the stock shines.

[@KmRessler]

The only thing I can see that I don't like about this farrier is how high he puts the nails in the hoof. Otherwise, I would say that he does a fairly good job of trimming. Working on these large Draft horses is different than working on a lighter, riding horse. They cannot get under the horse and hold the hoof and leg up and therefore have to depend on the stocks to help with that.

Safer if done so they r comfortable, my boy will need this as he's so heavy! I'm going to train him to lift his feet himself at some point, we'll both cause they r heavy! Try doing 4 of these, I'm normally knackered from picking out my Clyde's feet but he foes like to bare weight on 3 unless I push him off or get my bum and bk under him so he has some extra support also if the horse has an abscess this would help loads! As horses can't stand on 2 feet so when I didn't notice a abcess in its early stages I went to pick up his bk hoof and he kicked out and nearly knocked me out as he hit me right in the nose! The horse has a bum rest and the foot is tied so no metal pressure on top of foot just a strap holding it in place, if the horse is happy in one I bet any farrier shoeing or trimming them would really appreciate it lol though we dont use grinders to take off the metal nails, we use rasps and clippers

This may look rough, or like it's hurting the horse, but it's not nearly as bad as it looks, and they have to be shoed unless they are only going to be running or walking on loose soil and grass. Imagine if you never ever cut your nails...on your toes...and you only have one toe on each foot!

Well you are talking a Belgium not a riding horse. that is one huge animal so shoeing is a little different than showing a rider. He actually is very good at what he does.

[@solsjoberg8813]

Yeah? Last time I checked ALL horses need their frogs for proper hoofmechanism! Why on earth would a HEAVIER horse need a trim takes away half the frog and too little hoof wall, basically leaving the frog hanging in the air? God damn...

[@nancyluckhurst144]

Every farrier I have ever had trim my horses always trimmed the frog also. My farrier when I had horses was trained by Michigan state University

[@kristinacampbell5412]

he's actually leaving a quite a bit of frog by the heel that little bulb of frog is where the shock absorption comes from, I believe he know s what he's doing. However we wouldn't know without actually speaking to him would we?

[@lynnehuff9659]

@@kristinacampbell5412 The farrier assesses each horse's shoeing needs. We don't know how the horse travels, his individual needs. Some of the people in the comments, seem to be horse shoers, and know better than me. That being said, I think he knows what he's doing, too.

[@toddbrewer8215]

My self I don't like to use shoeing stocks but I understand they are sometimes necessary. I have found they are normally used when there is a lack of training. (the horse not the human). Once the horse if comfortable with you shoeing him or her they are fine. By that I mean they stand without giving you any problems. Yes once in a while they need their foot back but overall it is better for the horse. That hoof knife that you hit with a hammer is crap. Use nippers they are much better.

Why to put this burning horseshoe? Is this necessary?

[@dawnmaclellan7831]

Absolutely necessary? Probably not, however there are things achievable in this method that are harder to accomplish any other way. Horses feet are made up of closely compacted vertical hair like tubules of keratin. Searing seals these which provides some protection from drying out. But mostly searing helps to establish levels. Especially on a hoof that large., what looks level to the eye may not be in reality. To achieve a tight fit on the shoe and a balanced foot this is an efficient way of accomplishing this. It does not cause pain for the horse. There are no nerves in that specific area of the foot.

Interesting to see how horseshoeing is done in countries other than America. We teach our horses to hold their feet up, we don't tie them up like this. Also different tools to actually do the trimming.

[@ivandivandakor]

+Judy Hart your horses are big like that one?

[@JudyHart1]

Not as big, but think it would be hard on them to have the hoof up for that long, just my opinion. I've got an old horse, 25, he has a hard time keeping his hoof up at all. That being said, he's not that big.

[@toddbrewer8215]

+Judy Hart You are so right. Draft horses are very popular in Alaska because they can cope with the soft ground better and I saw a farrier shoe a horse that was 18-3. He had been shoed in stocks but the farrier took the extra hour to do it without and from then on the horse was easy to shoe.
