[@marilynhuffman1059]

I like the longer video. On the shorter one I’m just getting interested and then it’s over. Love your work and your voiceover.

[@virginiaoflaherty2983]

I like how you explain what you are doing and why. You have qualities of a good teacher.

[@kathleenscavone1251]

Thank you for the longer video. It took me back to my younger days watching my Dad working as a farrier. You do pretty much the same way my Dad worked. He loved it when he was able to fix a problem when some of the other farriers gave up. Great seeing someone who still has the knowledge to do a great job.

[@kellybrown1042]

Love the longer format. Please keep doing it.

My grandfather was a blacksmith. He died before I was born. Every winter he go to the lumber camps. It was all horse power. He got to stay warm 😂 and coffee when he wanted. My mom said he would take 10 cents with him, but always came home with it. Gotta watch the $ with 10 kids. My grandmother took care of the barn then.

[@scampbell9375]

I love the longer version videos as it can give you a different perspective between the hooves. I am always so amazed in the work that farriers do, and the compassion that they have for these beautiful animals. You have a relaxed and easy to listen to voice and very informative in simple terminology for some of us that have little to no knowledge of this craft. Sharing your expertise, different methods and techniques allows one to understand all that goes into farriering. Thank you... I look forward to more of these longer videos.

[@chrismack5908]

Hi Caleb, definitely the longer version! Truly enjoy your discussions. That's a nice looking horse and pleased the owners are getting the care needed. This next is trivial but it irksome to me. I always cleaned out my horses hooves prior to my farriers visit. I haven't seen one owner do that for you yet. Just feel it's rude. Enjoy your day!

[@LovesM855A1]

I def agree he has the way to make this a million sub channel! I will be looking for any upload Ill tell you that.

[@debgreen8683]

I like the longer videos. Thank you.

[@sharonblubaugh9305]

I enjoy your explanation in your videos. I don’t even have a horse

[@momnoah5]

I like the longer format, especially when you explain what you are doing.

[@suellenspencer-eb2nv]

So glad the diagnosis was made & another shoe applied. Really enjoy the narrative. You are so kind. So glad you enjoy the work you are trained to do. God bless you.

[@131dyana]

I did enjoy your work you really do care. Thank you.

[@throughcolouredglasses9300]

I love this more longform content! Especially the amount of time it gives for you to explain things and elaborate on some points, talk about what possibilities/methods you considered at the time and how you think about them afterwards, etc. You have such a calm way of talking and your love for your work really shows. I also enjoy the little anecdotes and the thoughts/mindset about work and life that you share. Watching these videos feels so calming and grounding in a sea of empty, flashy, loud clickbait content - AND I feel like I'm learning things from a profession I would never have encountered. Thank you for sharing your work and the care and effort you take to make these videos. Love from Berlin, Germany!

[@BeeEl99]

I like the longer videos. The detailed explanation helps me to understand what you are seeing and how you are fixing it.

[@DeeE101]

Thank you Caleb! I really enjoyed the longer video and how you explain the process of your trade. I am glad you were able to help this horse with giving him some comfort by working with the vet and a great shoeing job. It’s too bad that 2raw2ride dude didn’t use you for his farrier work. The horror those two horses have been put though is a shame, even though the ride is done, those horses are somewhere in Montana getting dumped as if they were expendable garbage. 😢

[@LMVG2233]

This was so fascinating! You are correct - never would a non- horseman realize the minutae of shoeing a horse! Your knowledge and technique are impressive. All the best in your future endeavors!

[@LovesM855A1]

I love the longer format! You are very talented! Ty for sharing!! 👍🏻

[@caleberickson_The_Dying_Breed]

Thanks so much! 😊

[@Mendezfarriercompany306]

I start ferrier course at Kwantlen polytechnic in British Columbia 1st class is oct 23/23. I am glad I bumped onto your channel.

[@brendaschaffer4934]

This is the first time that I have watched one of your videos. I really enjoyed the way that you explain a lot more than most farriers do. Thank you for the really good information!

[@jennifermcguire5557]

I love the longer format and would even love to see all four hooves!

[@lr5425]

Good video. Longer is better in my opinion. That fact that you teach and share relevant information and actually talk is important . Thank you!

[@raymondperez2972]

The longer format is fine. I enjoy viewing your videos, you explain what and why you are moving in one direction or another with shoeing a horse. Some horses you have absolutely no problems with others you have to assess the problem and adjust to the horse. Mahalo and Aloha!!!!!

[@sjfarish]

Longer format no doubt, great job !

[@caleberickson_The_Dying_Breed]

Awesome, thank you!

[@lynnedwards7462]

I love the longer format with your skilled work and calm voice-overs. It's easy viewing and listening and makes for learning in an area where I have no previous knowledge. Thank you, Caleb.

[@MarkDrysdale-w7l]

I really enjoy you videos. The longer the better. I’m learning a lot of new info about your line of work. Thank’s for explaining it.

[@ksbrook1430]

I appreciate the narration of what you are doing and why.

[@JanetCoulby]

Yes I agree

[@paulandjessicasmith3242]

First time watching your work. Impressed with your honesty, humbleness and skill. I'm 65, have long yearned to be able to shoe my own horse (Trotter) .... Sadly there's no where in my country (NZ) where I can learn to do so and nobody will give me the chance to do so. Hence why I love farrier videos and admire the skill, workmanship and horsemanship. Thank you man. 😊

[@effeo9962]

There is so much to love about your videos: they are pedagogical, clear, methodical, and I enjoy the problem-solving approach to difficult cases. And in this one in particular, your modesty. Keep up the good work.

[@caleberickson_The_Dying_Breed]

Thank you for the kind words they mean a lot

[@MK7of7of7of7]

I severed a tendon in my hand and it has never been the same and never will. The doctor said "I can fix it and then you would hate me for the rest of your life" meaning he would make it so it would not turn or twist. Didn't do it. So you are incredibly lucky to be using it.

[@cindyrissal3628]

If his "fix" involves not being able to move fairly well, then it's not really a fix at all.

[@falcon8553]

Truly enjoy the hoof per video. Awesome work

[@leslieb.1907]

I love the longer versions best!

[@denisesnyder2429]

Great job I love the longer videos like these can you do more like these have great day😊

[@holliabbott8998]

Good video! I really like the longer ones

[@amyaiken576]

I like your longer video. Ouch on the tendon story! Really like your explanations, too. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👍🥰

[@brianbelliveau5551]

Nice job you do nice work I like watching your videos thanks for sharing

[@colcowboy]

Awesome job mate I enjoyed watching you shoe the horse well done wonderful job.kind regards Gregory Lee from Melbourne Victoria Australia 🇦🇺 😀 👋🤙👍.

[@pattyannbeaven9287]

I really enjoy the longer videos, all the ways you could get hurt shoeing horses and you get attacked by a coconut! 😮

[@caleberickson_The_Dying_Breed]

Right?!😅

[@ScorpionLisa]

Love the longer format!!

[@dorothyhamm5119]

I like the longer video. Thank you.

[@RafaelaFerguson]

I like the longer format. 😊

[@pnair5120]

I luv the longer cuts, much more informative

[@vegaslady3732]

Longer vlog for me too! Your explanations are awesome & very interesting! I had no idea how complicated farrier skills are prior to watching your vlogs - especially with drafts!

[@dianealbert3]

I am a lady from Quebec, Canada. I do not know (or did not know) nothing about this field. But since I am a clinical nurse I can appreciate your excellent work and intelligence in your « réflexion » …your thinking! 👌

[@artsymarxist]

i like the longer format! thanks for showing the horse walking, he really does look better after everything yall did for him

[@janetrodriguez914]

I don’t mind the longer video when there is great content like this one had. Good job,

[@gerirolfe2934]

I'm new to your page and I've really enjoyed it. I never knew how much goes into shoeing a horse and when they are in pain. You really care about their comfort!!! 😘💕

[@lisabuckner243]

YOU'RE THE ONLY PERSON I'VE SEEN USING HOOF TESTERS! ❤

[@rebelbelle62]

I like the longer video's 😊 Being humble allows you to continue to learn and improve.😊

[@Ron-d2g]

Awesome to see you Enjoying what you do for a living .The horse even looks Satisfied

[@valeriaabrams4930]

I like the longer videos they give me time to watch how you work. It's very interesting to hear you explain all the things you do.

[@allieSunl]

Awesome job! I love the longer video and seeing two hooves. I watch these videos because they help me relax before I take a nap or go to bed. And you do a great job explaining what you’re doing. I have a desk job but I love watching the work you do! Such a cool career! Cheers to your talent and willingness to keep learning!

[@grimbo73]

having a major injury does make you appreciate working. as a prematurely retired guy, it sucks. I like the long form..and with the extra of checking the horse for the signs of injury.

[@SirenRecordsMonterey]

Hi Caleb, I'm a fan of the longer videos. I find it very relaxing to view after a long day, listening to you explain your craft. I find it really interesting and I've learned a lot watching you!

[@jamieandthemore]

I’m not a farrier but grew up around horses. I am a musician, composer, arranger, self producer. I wholly agree with your point about being humble. The older I get the more I realize how much I don’t know. I find it difficult listening to myself on recordings when I’m mixing and mastering.

[@caleberickson_The_Dying_Breed]

Listening to myself is the worst doing voice overs and talking to the camera is the hardest and my least favorite part

[@joycehosaflook3755]

I am a new subscribed viewer and I love longer videos. There a video of a rescue pony who had elf shoe hooves and she was miserable. They had to sedate her, but they finally got her down to where they were just about normal, there was still some work to do, but this was the start. When the lady walked her out of the bar, Stella, the pony, Stella was still walking with her high a stepping to compensate for the very large curving upward. But it was sad but cute and then by the time she walked a bit her feet and steps became lower and then after a while it showed her running full speed ahead all around the pasture! It was a happy tear jerker, 🥲 because her personality was playful and wanting to run and play and enjoy a pony life and she was not able to before. She was one happy pony. I love these stories and I love just normal horses being shoed on their 6 week rotation. It is fun to see the the close relationships that the farriers have with the horses. I know it is hard on the back too. Have to maintain a strong back. One farrier I watch swfarrier was maintaining a barefoot pony and she would rest her head on his back after nibbling his ear. A mother horse Reggie would undo his farrier pants or apron and try to take them off of him! Then he would nibble his ear also with just his lips no teeth in valves. Just the trusting relationship is endearing. Thank you so much for doing this hard, hard work and I so enjoy your teaching us. May inspire a young man to aspire to learn how to keep this necessary job alive. 😊

[@jadeblues357]

I always wondered how a horse would end up playing and how you shoot a horse. I know a lot about horses I just didn’t know that very interesting video. I appreciate it and I like the longer version to everybody’s right you have a very nice voice.😊

[@ginnyschulz3555]

Thank you for your calm and clear explanations. I know nothing about horses but I know I love horses and as a retired nurse I find your videos fascinating. Had to switch from watching the cow videos because they don’t wash the hooves off so there’s manure all over the wounds and they don’t irrigate an open draining abscess and other stuff like that. This drives me absolutely crazy because of my training as a nurse! LOL! Working on horses seems much cleaner and that appeals to my nursing sensibilities. Hard to teach an old dog new tricks, I guess! 😂 Anyway, for me, the longer the videos the better. Thanks again for sharing your knowledge and expertise and for your gentle manner with the horses.

[@mikejimenez185]

This is the first time i watch your video and I enjoyed it very much including the time frame.

[@underthebluesky92]

Nice horse, sad about the arthritis, love your explanations as you work with the hoof, I’ve learned a lot, love seeing the horse walk after your done, thank you.

[@traceyrossberg4640]

I love the longer videos, so so interesting, such a beautiful horse, he looked alot happier, you have to be careful with those coconuts, you also have a nice bruise on your thumb nail, Hamner, I'm guessing, excellent job as always Caleb, thank you very much for posting, and take care.👍💙🐎

[@kenadams2799]

You are an artist. You really care and take care of the horses. Awesome job.

[@randybutler4772]

Nice looking shoe. Thank you for sharing.🐴

[@kristinawrites238]

Love the longer format. There is nothing like watching a good farrier at work.

[@mrgarner4796]

A happy horse with a nice pedicure. I love it when a horse is treated so well. Thank you.

[@suellenspencer-eb2nv]

I was wondering what happened as you answered the injury to you inner wrist. Thank you. I like the longer videos.

[@ChristineMemmott]

I like the longer video and extensive explanations.

[@mscricket73]

Yes, continue with the longer videos if you can. It's very relaxing!!❤

[@dorcaswatson4873]

I really enjoy watching your work with both sides. I also enjoy your commentary on the reasons why you do things and your explanation of the terminology. My grandfather was a Farrier back in the 1920s to the 1970s. 😊😊

[@nonoddingdog4682]

Mate, you have a great story telling / educational style that portrays your passion. I liked your quote, “if you feel like the smartest man in the room, you’re in the wrong room”.

[@jenniferlehman326]

With nails, TRADEMARK TO THE INSIDE!! Isn't that correct, Caleb? I love seeing both feet being done. It makes a big difference when you show the before and after. Best Regards from your friend, the Retired Paramedic and Horse Trainer in Ontario, Canada, Jenn. 💖 🇨🇦🇺🇸

[@caleberickson_The_Dying_Breed]

That's correct the logo or mark goes to the inside I do check though as I've seen a couple nails that were defective

[@carolyntaylor7]

Longer format! Interesting to see that a horse’s feet aren’t all identical.

[@larrybauman7430]

I really like the way you shoe. You fitting the shoe to the hoof. And not rasping the toe down to the shoe. You also ring the nails instead of nipping them. I shod horses for 30 yrs. You do a beautiful job !

[@timilisafogal6990]

More longer videos please 😊

[@BlueWhale5155]

Great video! I’m looking to become a farrier in the near future. The way you explain what you’re doing, what something is, why you’re doing it, really is helping me understand. Not to mention you do a great job and it’s super entertaining! Thank you.

[@gilbertdelgado6703]

I do like the longer format. You answered a few questions I was going to ask, one of which was about your anvil. I figured the base was aluminum because of weight. As far as noise goes I guess after awhile the ringing would get old though. Nice work, thank you for the video.

[@rhiwlen3290]

I belive this is the first video of yours I've seen, and I really love your calm voice and detailed voice-over. I subscribed because I really enjoy learning about what is being done and why when I'm watching videos, and this was excellent.

[@rolandrimann8788]

Very interesting video, thanks Caleb.

[@marquitagohlke]

I like to see the variations of the horses, their conditions, your treatments, explanating everything... Great videos.

[@bretmartin4071]

Definitely like the longer videos. Love the fact that you don't use all the power tools a lot of these younger farriers use lately.

[@Backcountryhiker]

Had no idea (city-slicker here) that there was so much to shoeing a horse! Very interesting. You can tell you are not only an animal lover but a perfectionist. Thumbs up!

[@denisethomas1029]

Iove your patience, you file by hand just like my shoer I've had for 35 plus years, love it. Boy do I miss him. His patience and old school ways, just like you, it's inspiring that you have the old ways or techniques. 😊🤠🎉

[@cherylmillard2067]

I never trimmed my horse's soles, I rode on barefoot along gravel roadsides and rocky logging roads 90% of the time and that kept his soles perfect, I used a Surform dry wall rasp (I did dry wall) to take his hoof walls down. If there was any thrushy smell I would take him down to the saltwater inlet to soak his feet then up the creek or a rinse, it was amazing to see a bright white line after the creek. He was never lame in his 33 years. I can't understand why horse owners hand their horse over to you without clean feet.

[@adriennewashington3360]

I like the longer version. Thank you for sharing your experience with horses 🐎

[@TheDude1764]

I didn’t think this was too long. Very interesting and informative! Thanks for the explanations.

[@Nordic_Mechanic]

It`s amazing how much difference in the life of a horse a good set of hooves can have

[@Casey_Cp]

Idk, l find the longer length of the video calming, but then this is me .. :)

[@rainydaylady7563]

The longer video is great. I love watching hoof restoration. The horses are calm and seem to understand why you are there. Subbed and liked.

[@sandrawebber2272]

Love watching you do your work and listening to you teach. You are very good at your work and you are humble. I have learned so much about the horses feet and hoofs. Thank you😊😊

[@LindaNiquette-vh5bx]

I enjoy ALL your videos, long or shorter. I used to have horses when younger and always watched the farriers. I find this relaxing for me anyway! Lots of work for you tho! You do nice work and explain everything. ❤

[@kumatatas9512]

I like the longer format. I’m hoping to become a farrier and your info and opinion is appreciated and helpful

[@katyspouge3468]

Yes, Calib, like many others, I, too, love the longer videos 👍🏻 Im hlad to hear, that your hand is good again, but take care of yourself, because in the end, nobody will thank you for it, if you work too much😢 Great workman ship and I love your calm voice, while explaining it all to someone like me, who has no idea about this amazing profession, but is eager to watch and learn 🙏✅😍 Sending best wishes from Switzerland 🙋🏻‍♀️🥰

[@sabinamarciniak7552]

Love how you explain what you do. I know how important the foot is.. but you just explain so easily and in a language everyone can understand . P.s could watch you for hours .

[@falcon8553]

Cudos on the use of the stand! Your back will thank you as the years go by.

[@markmmcaulay]

Hi Caleb, I love your full explanations of what and why as you're working. I learn a great deal. Unfortunately I have the attention span of a gnat... Even if I like someone, if it's over 15 minutes I'll probably pass. However your videos are Relevant and full of insight so when I saw 24 minutes I gave it a shot and was glad I did.

[@MortynFriends]

Thank you for telling your story!

[@Lawrence1203-f7s]

Interesting and informative in a professional manner as usual. Keep up with the longer version.

[@Stitcher_in_MD]

You’re like an artist. You do great work on the horses. Thank you again for the nice videos.
