Horse Owner Trims Hoofs Herself 'Regularly' Want to see the result?

Trimming Hoof From Start To Finish, after some protective Clay www.hippoking.be

[@hdxb875]

Did she confuse trim with picking out? Oh wait...from the look at all the thrush she doesn’t do either regularly 😂 I’m glad you could help this poor horse and I’m glad owner got straightened out.

[@impunitythebagpuss]

I could smell that from here in Newfoundland! Gakkk!

[@AzureHeartSong]

Another example of an owner doing much too conservative trims. That horse had bars for days and horrible thrush from a frog that wasn’t shaped well enough to allow gunk to fall out.

[@abbyrivers9971]

Indeed, brrrr. Why not Just call a Farrier on regular basis instead off Clint bad trimming yourself?

[@jhamner9484]

@@abbyrivers9971 I’m afraid to call any Farriers in my area, most horses that are barefoot in my area and trimmed by local farriers have that same amount of bar.

[@McChrister]

I guess the poor horse had not only bad feet but also thrush? I heard you say; “Smelly”😁👃🏼😵 Great work Sir....God Bless you and the horses!🙏🏼🍀👋🏼

Thank you for your kind words. God Bless you and your family!

Idk why everyone is bashing, not many have a first clue of what's actually going on. Kudos to you for working on this horse!

[@auroraborealis6009]

Those hoof walls seem really thin.

Thanks for your message and say hello to your farrier! Good luck✊️

[@rebeccadykshorn9700]

That’s one of the worst frogs I’ve seen in a long time

[@solitairesmith3553]

BEAUTIFUL job. I live in USA. I have percherons I rescued. Its hard to find farrier that works on large horses. The farrier I have drives 4 hours to do my horses. I admire your work stall. I will have to have one made for me:) most carriers that are close to me do not work on large horses.

[@Jorgenfrombelgium]

I think if you can do metal works or know someone who can, it is not difficult to make. If you want I can make a video on how to work safely with stocks.

[@jhamner9484]

Maybe you could find someone to modify the hoof jack to fit their giant feet? I use a hoof boss on my draft crosses, it helps tremendously.

[@willowthegreyy4830]

I trim my own horses... I would never allow such an excess of sole and frog growth like this to happen 🥴 knowledge is everything.

[@chelsey-6887]

Knowing nothing and never having owned a horse.. The first thing i noticed immediately was it being soft when you were clipping it.

[@lorrainevanilla607]

Yup Like rubber 😱

[@koogicrys25]

Dont lie, you totally searched for this.

Hi, you must know that this hoof is far from the worst you see as a farrier. I'm honest and authentic. There is no reason for me to be dishonest. Thanks for watching.

[@Alex-wc9qq]

Me when I say I do my horses hooves myself: I do conservative maintenance trims to maintain shape and look for issues between farrier visits every 6-8 weeks. What other people mean when they say they do their horses hooves regularly: instead of getting a professional they 'save money' by running a rasp over the bars and toe maybe once every few months

[@Jorgenfrombelgium]

Thanks for sharing that with me. It is better to ask a professional like you say. I don't know anything about engines of cars so I go to the local garage.

[@rockkitty100]

Poor horse and poor you.... Nice work and fortunate she called you to fix this mess.

[@Jorgenfrombelgium]

It is what I like to do... thanks for your compassionate words.

[@kohlhawkewaskeen1416]

Where are you located? I am seeing a lot of retained sole and soft hooves? Also, I can smell that one from here- I am glad the horse had you to sort that out!

[@Jorgenfrombelgium]

I'm in Belgium. It was a wet winter indeed. The summer was very dry. It can smell a bit, that's correct.Thanks for watching.

[@ksworld7279]

Those knife strokes 😳😬😲

[@lr5425]

Title says the owner cleans the hooves regularly?

[@shalienahchaney2038]

The hoof was so bad, the moment I saw him clean the frog, I said, in an Irish accent "Oh, you poor horse." This was so bad I changed accents. That's a new.

[@coffeeandhorses9483]

The hoof was so crumbly(?). They’re supposed to be tougher than that...shame on this horse’s owner for not caring for its hooves properly.

[@dwisecup51]

Where did the froggy go???

[@janscutter]

You could’ve served drinks at those bars, lucky the thrush was there to stank them out. Seriously, you can smell this hoof the second he lifted it.

[@kiahpeace9090]

No.. can't smell a thing way down here in New Zealand.. am grateful there isn't a smell-a-vision

[@janscutter]

Kiah Peace y’all don’t have thrush down there?

[@kiahpeace9090]

Nope.. its too cold at the mo for anything to still be alive. Roll on spring.

[@vin8889]

I know nothing of horses. How do y’all know it’s thrush?

[@lynnehuff9659]

Thrush typically stinks. The farrier murmurred "stinks" and then, it can be spongy.

[@spdklls7]

dull knife or extra hard hoof? you be the judge

[@Jorgenfrombelgium]

I admit, it's a dull knife...

[@SK-vb2dk]

For some reason you had taken the arrow away.

[@ELNS97]

Those bars 😳😳😳

[@spdklls7]

dont think your supposed to sink the frog like its a quarry pit?

[@Jorgenfrombelgium]

Thanks for your observation. 'Normally' I try not to touch the frog at all. Sometimes you need to do what has to be done I suppose.

[@pedroghettocowboym.7208]

Why have animals if that's how those poor feet look like that unreal

[@Ducky2964]

Honestly, I feel like she needs to leave it to a professional.

[@susanflowers7969]

I wish you had sharpened your tools

[@Jorgenfrombelgium]

I plead guilty. I start with same knife in spring and work all year round without sharpening.

[@jagoldenpyrenees491]

@@Jorgenfrombelgium It shows lol. A sharp knife is not only safer and more effective, it saves time and labor in the long run.

[@lacie4058]

Well the owner shouldn't have been doing it without any know how anyways. For cows hoofs you dont need licenses or anything anyone can just legally pick up a cows hoof and trim or hack as they please which is wrong. But for horses you legally must have licenses and certifications and training classes are the only way to get those. So if that owner was really that clueless he was probably totally untrained which would be illegal for him to even pick the foot up and do anything with a knife or file. Picking is fine though

[@ameliarose8802]

Omg that poor horses hooves if they aren't gonna take care of their horses why buy them!!

[@munirahbakar4123]

Because thinking you're giving good care and actually providing good care can be vastly different. At least a professional is called to help in this instance.

[@dfreeman8240]

You shouldn't cut on the frog unless its shedding no need to cut the frog down it's what pushes the blood back up the leg a big spongy frog is desirable and your cutting om the sole no need to the thicker the better. Why are you cutting off where it's best not too?

[@Jorgenfrombelgium]

Dear D Freeman. Believe me when I tell you I totally agree with you. I believe in good strong healthy frogs and most of the time I only check them and try not to cut them. Dito for the sole. So we are on the same level here. Sometimes you make an assessment and decide to take that extra step. Not because you like it but because you believe you should. That is why I took more of the frog and sole. It is only a decision at the moment.

[@michellewal8219]

All the farriers I deal with cut the frog and dig out the sole! I just started to do my own work and I am overwhelmed

[@lottiestanley7696]

@D Freeman That was NOT a HEALTHY frog. I’m not a farrier, but as a horse person, I can recognize disease, even in a hoof.
