REMOVING ROCKS & a BROKEN CRUSH | Behind The Hoof ep 3

[@MomSilk08]

You can tell Graeme isn't real comfortable talking about himself as he weaves back and forth putting his head down like a kid. 😊 I love this guy and his crew and all they do 🥰

[@theCPRgals]

Graeme, I think Bruised Soul/Sole is a brilliant title! The second you said it, I got the play on words. Many of us had "not great" childhoods for various reasons, but if we had not gone through what we did, we would not be the people we are today. You became a fine young lad - a wonderful husband and father, brother in law, community supporter, and a terrific hoof trimmer helping folks all over the world learn better care for the cows. And yet ... still humble. Keep up the great work you are doing for others to thrive. ❤

[@concordep2504]

I second that comment. Graeme, your family I hope are very proud of the man you have become.

[@snoozieq4584]

All in favor? AYE!

[@TheDevilWAH]

I like Brusied Sole as the title and the play one words linking back to the journy and past. I think you could make a great cover with that title and a picture combining a cows hoof and a person that convays both the menings and makes it clear what the book is about.. Im thinking of a picture of a cows hoof, with the brusing in the shape of a young boy looking lost / hurting.

[@grammyofmany1964]

Well said. I think it's absolutely the right title.

[@sari2020]

Aye

[@phinneganwilliam5867]

I agree - Bruised Soul is a good title. We always see the happy-go-lucky Hoof GP, but you've offered snippets of your past so I think we know you've had more than your share of battles. Bruised Soul is an honest title, and you've always been honest with us.

[@TinyBugg7042]

Well said 🫶🏻

I love Kev. Silent, strong and understated man who fixes shit. Mrs Kev… he’s a keeper!

[@margaretm1239]

Great title for the book, and another load of contented customers. Get well soon to Craig- Hopefully, you'll be fit and well soon, and back on our screens. Much love to all x

[@elaexplorer]

Graeme's shyness about promoting his book is adorable.

[@sdmcdaniel2255]

I definitely understand you wanting to call your book Bruised Soul, and yes, I definitely got the play on words! As a fellow writer, the only advice I can give you on your perspective book title is this: when you have the write title, you will know it. It will resonate with every part of you. Also, just one word of general advice: Be proud of your accomplishments! It's true, that having a less than stellar childhood can be daunting, and sometimes a hit to your heart or self-esteem (I know this, because my childhood was also less than stellar), but always remember, your childhood DOES NOT dictate your future. You rose above that childhood, you have a fantastic business, you are highly regarded in your area of expertise (hoof trimming), you have a beautiful family, and you are well loved throughout the community! You have done well for yourself and don't forget that!

[@deannasills7459]

I agree. You don’t seem completely confident with the title.

[@katehennessy4814]

Couldn’t agree with this comment more. You would never even know you had a difficult childhood because you are so well adjusted and have accomplished so much, and so young so kudos to you. You have a lot to be proud of and I love watching your videos. So that’s all I meant in my earlier comment, which I admit was pretty blunt (sorry about that, I wrote it in a hurry). So even though I think Bruised Sole/ Soul is a brilliant idea, I thought a title maybe focusing more on that positive strength you’ve developed in spite of your childhood ordeals might be more inspiring? Anyway, I’m sure whatever you do end up deciding to call it, it’ll be a great read… it has to be if it’s about our beloved Hoof GP!

[@missyzotz2020]

RIGHT title

[@vanessaking8220]

I feel like this comment above should be in bold, circled, exclamation points, fireworks,etc...spot on. Also f#&ing FANTASTIC name. It would be disservice to your craft and business acumen NOT to have a play on words.

A "beholder'" is someone who is looking at you. Each beholder sees something a bit different. So what one person thinks is beauty another might not. I love the book title and look forward to reading it. Thank you for sharing your life with us. I am an Australian born lady with a great love of all things rural. See you next time.

[@leslijoygordon5431]

Bruised soul is perfect!!! I look forward to it coming out. As someone who is healing from a bruised soul you truly are an inspiration!

[@kentboys5017]

I think that name for your book is genius. Your life before is the book and your life now is cow trimming. Bruised souls that you repair and fix is a metaphor for how you’re growing and healing not just yourself but also sharing it with your audience. Thank you for sharing!Take care 👍🏻

[@roseannem.tockstein8140]

I just love it when Graeme pets and soothes the girls faces.

[@a.e.worthy9997]

Having watched you for always, my perception of you is that , like me, and many others, you survived your childhood but you managed to keep a good heart and joy in your life. It’s what makes you so personable and such a favorite. You make other people, like me, feel good . Because of you I’m watching videos about cow feet. I’m an old woman living in Brooklyn, ny. The closest I come to a cow is breakfast and dinner ( sometimes ice cream). “Surviving a Bruised Soul” because you have and because you are loved by strangers.

[@barbsnyder3579]

I have no clue what he said in the beginning of this clip.

[@JolynBowler]

As much as I enjoy y'all trimming those beauties, I always enjoy when you guys TINKER... I know its more than tinkering, but it's all the things you do to make sure the cows are good. You work so well together. We love you all.💙🌻💙

[@kathybrandt6060]

I think the title ‘A Bruise Soul’ is perfect. I can’t wait to read the book. Also, I think everyone has had their soul bruised once in their life. So everyone can relate with Graham.

[@conradgwyther9540]

Go for it Graham! The title is perfect and it says it all, both for yourself and the hooves you care for. The writing it down will have been very therapeutic. Non but the brave. Conrad

[@debbiebain6581]

I love that title! “ Bruised Soul”, I’ve had a very difunctional childhood and I would relate to bruised soul. Please don’t change that name as there are many of us out here that are still healing or mulling through the past! 💕💕

[@scorchedgorse2649]

Such a great bunch of people and Graeme, it's so refreshing to 'meet' a bloke who is a bloke and sensitive too. Anyone who loves and cares for the well-being of cows is an ace person ❤️

[@davep153]

May your story reach at least 1 person that can use it as a stepping stone to a better life for themselves. Bruised soul/sole is a great title.

[@D.Lily02]

"Bruised Soul/Sole" is such a perfect title, Graeme! I can't wait until it comes out later this year. Thank you for always giving us access to your life with your beautiful family and these adorable cows 🐄❤ I've worked with horses for 40 years, and watching you makes me want to love on some cows now, too!! ☺️ Hugs from Pennsylvania, USA 🇺🇸🤗

[@TitanSummers]

I love that name for the book. Those bruises from childhood helped shape the man you are today. Your ability to work through those issues gave us a GREAT person to watch and the cows are better off as well.

[@donnam5060]

"Beauty is in the eye of the beholder," means that the person who is looking at something is the judge of how beautiful it is.

All the best with continued success and thankyou in advance for sharing your mental health issues with us. We love your channel, so keep on doing what you do, ignore those minor few who are sad souls and from the millions who admire you, the few odd balls are not worth one second thought. Much love to you and your lovely Mrs GP and adorable children who we love to see xx ❤❤

[@brigidconroy2111]

Your book title is fab because of the double entendres You fix cow’s soles and you have learned to heal your soul. Based on the comment section, you have been able to help a lot of people in the herd. Your beautiful, bruised soul has brought comfort and respite. SO PLEASE keep the title it is perfect 👍

Graeme Parker: Bruised Souls/Soles is really brilliant. Please remind us when it gets nearer to the time for the discussion. Thanks from Nashville, Tennessee USA!

[@auldman]

In the context of this saying, to ‘behold’ something is to see it. The ‘beholder’ is the person doing the seeing. The concept is not everyone will see the same thing in the same way; so while I may not think Craig is beautiful, someone will, hence “in the eyes of the beholder”.

[@xo2quilt]

Isn't it bizarre how he can make people fascinated with cow's feet? I'm a quilter who does live on a farm in eastern Washington...while I did have a horse, and we did raise a couple of steers for the freezer, I'd get the farrier for my horse, never even thought of the steers' feet!! All the events of our past make us who we are today. We either give up and contribute nothing to the world or we use the pains of our past to create a better future for ourselves. Graeme is certainly loved by many around the world!! Hope Craig gets better soon!

From a psychiatrist’s perspective I can tell you that Bruised Soul is a perfect title. I agree that it goes along with the hooves you tend to, but the bigger thing is that all the trauma children go through does bruise their souls and, even with help, they have to live with some of that throughout their lives.
