The Biggest Hoof have Ever Seen - Trimming Draft Horse - Oddly Satisfying - Part 4

[@bleedingcrystal4722]

Started on cow hoof trimming videos and figured I’d see what goes on with horses. First video I’ve seen where the trimmer really gives us the terminology and explains the process. Really enjoyed the video

[@deniseroe5891]

I know draft horses are massive, but I am shocked at how big the hoof is! I am in awe of watching your work.

[@Nate-pc9ox]

I’ve got nothing but respect for Farriers. I was part of a Mounted division when I was a deputy. And we couldn’t do our work without the support of farriers. There was more than a couple times I would stay just to ask question and watch the work. It is beyond satisfying. Thanks for taking care of the animals.

[@caleberickson3-crossesfarrier]

Thank you for your service I've always loved the mounted division of the police force the horses are so well trained.

[@Nate-pc9ox]

@@caleberickson3-crossesfarrier those horses/officers are our best friends and the best back up anyone can ask for. And while they are extremely well trained, when you get them alone or out of their “uniform” in the pasture their personalities are on full display. I miss my Boy. But he is happily retired and enjoying an easy life he deserves.

[@darkwinter6028]

It would be nice to see who you’re working on, so perhaps a shot of the whole horse?

[@exdus235]

😊👍

[@aussiegrace]

Why? It’s about the hoof not the horse.

[@darkwinter6028]

@@aussiegrace It puts the rest of the video in context; and makes it more relatable. Also, horses are pretty. 🐴

[@jeepsthetimebandit]

​@aussiegrace Why not? It would be nice to see who he's working on.

[@rcdogmanduh4440]

Yes up close and personal, maybe family history, favorite snack food sugar cube or carrot. Carrots are good for your eyes and horse's have two eyes! Oh can we recycle the plastic wrap as you must go through a gram or three each year.... just kidding😂

[@BeachyKeen92]

That looks like the face of an owl.

[@tsuaeshae]

Awesome

[@marshallgray645]

Feel free to not address all the haters and lame comments. Im guessing most of us just want to enjoy your work

[@JensPetter95]

Aww, didn't get to see the horse :( only it's hoofs.. would be nice to see the horse walking around on the newly trimmed hoofs

[@jenBaker707]

Good horse, very patient.

[@jenniferweed2552]

Came here from cow hoof trimming. Very cool. I like learning the different parts of the hoof

[@traceyrossberg4640]

Wow!! Her hoof was huge, even your nippers looked small against her hoof, do you shoe drafts, if so, I would really love to see you do that, I love watching farriers making horse shoes, and I’m sure if you were hurting her in anyway, she would certainly let you know, brave man! Your voice is so good to listen to, great job, thank you for posting, and take care Caleb.👍💙🐎

[@thekatt...]

What a beautiful hoof. Before and after ! Thank you to owner for letting you film. Your horses hooves look amazing, very well maintained. 👍❤🇨🇦

[@ItsAStephanieB]

Id love to see the horse too.. I've never seen an actual draft horse before. Perhaps you standing next to the horse? For size comparison? If the hoof is that huge I simply can't imagine the size of the horse! Thank you for sharing, I'm learning so many new things here!

[@iz_ray2479]

This was nice but don’t focus too much on the comments man! Some ppl haven’t seen a wild animal since watching msg geo on tv- great content

[@noradyer2408]

Never seen anyone work on a draft horse. Massive ! Thank you so much.

[@garyhope3731]

Pleasure watching you work, I got backache just looking 👍🇬🇧🇺🇸

[@julzy8157]

Love that you explain what your doing as you go 😊

[@superdill6665]

I absolutely love the big guys! We used to feed with them in the winter. Draft horses usually don't get stuck, and their engines start easily in 30 below weather, lol. You really explained their hoof anatomy well. This video was spot on. Also, don't worry about people griping about the plastic you use to wrap the feathers. They've probably got an entire roll of Saran Wrap in their refrigerator, protecting all the tofu, bean sprouts, celery juice, and wheat germ. Thanks for sharing your skill. God bless 💜

[@souldoctor10]

After just one horse that big, I’d be done for the day.

[@shaylablueangel]

KZbin scholars have so much to say, it’s irritating. If you know more, then do your own videos, instead of just standing back and criticizing all the videos and people doing their jobs. It’s not even constructive criticism, it’s just criticism🙄

[@kfarr3037]

She has beautiful hair..almost looks like she got highlights! But mercy me, that hoof! Those Clydesdales hooves are surely massive and it's amazing to see the actual scale when you have known sizes of hands and tools in the frame..WOW!!😲

[@douglasdarby8584]

Other than being an animal lover, I have zero knowledge about your craft and skills. But I can see how beautifully you transform these horse hooves. I’m now going to google the hoof anatomy so I can better understand your description as you work. Thanks for sharing

[@darkwinter6028]

Well, they are the Big Rig of horses… 🐴

[@foxfaith24]

Caleb! I love your craft. You care about your job and the horses you work on. It certainly shows!

[@lynnehuff9659]

I liked this very much. If you would include a shot of the entire horse, it would give the video context, and be interesting to see. New subscriber here🦬

[@jessestyron6148]

i like the two hoof vids better and your explanation and intentions of what you're doing is very much appreciated

[@tinajanette7103]

I appreciate your videos, very informative! I too, haven't a clue what to do with a horse, but it's great learning! And for some reason, it's very relaxing! Thanks from Canada

[@claireF-14D]

Love horses since I was a kid. Massive hoof! Great video. Thanks.

[@mountaingoat6647]

I really enjoy your draft videos, just a pity we only see one foot . I don't own a horse, don't know how to ride a horse, but just love watching these videos. Great stuff.

[@charlottebonnie5320]

If he had trimmed the sole the same way as the trimmers from the Far East (with an extremely wide hoof-knife), he would have been able to show us the trimming of four hooves.

[@dolliemaesone]

Love the horses not the hoofs let’s see the horse please .😊

Nice job on the big hoof his a beautiful boy.thanks for sharing mate.kind regards Greg Lee from Melbourne victoria Australia. 🐎🐎🐎

He mentioned that the horse was a "she", though it could sound like "he".

[@jeanwesleynew]

That horse's hoof hair has some awesome blond highlights. ...just saying.

[@cindyrissal3628]

It's called "poop stains". If those feathers were properly clean, they'd be white. Yes, the long hair on the legs of draft horses are called feathers...

[@hadleyj]

@@cindyrissal3628 haha so true! especially on the mares too lol

[@kittyparker4076]

Hmmm seems like a really good piece of equipment, saves time because you're not switching back and forth between the hoof pick and knife..

[@MarleneTrempy]

Great comments for all to learn from. Great explanations! Thank you! I saw a top-notch job! 10/10 would recommend this farrier!

[@brianbelliveau5551]

Caleb you’re the most knowledgeable Blacksmith I’ve seen on KZbin I used to groom resources in the blacksmith. None of them had the tools that you have course that was a while back so maybe they’ve all come up for the times but of course thoroughbred horses are not like that draft horse. Good job buddy.

[@RiminiVirage]

Hi, You might want to look up “Peter The Farrier” who is also very good. He is from the north of England and is also a caring farrier .

It sounds like you have a lot of city slicker know it alls on your channel. I am sorry about that. I have seen draft horses in person but failed to notice their hooves are about the side of my head. Thank you so much for posting this video & continuing to post♡

[@shonawalters9819]

You are an amazing Farrier who KNOWS his job, there’s too many people giving their opinions, opinions are like noses everybody’s got one !!!. Let the people who know do their job, if he was doing it wrong I’m very sure the horse would truly let him know, so KUDOS to him & all those Farriers who know how to do their job. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

[@SignFairies]

Hey Caleb, thank you so much for taking the time to explain what you are doing. I love it and I believe it makes the videos so much more enjoyable and interesting to watch because up until now I never understood what was happening. I do think it would be awesome to know a little but more about the horse (Name, how much they way.. simple stuff). I would love to watch a video about how a horse got away from you while you were shoeing him/her and what happened? I'm sure there are some horror stories. I know I don't understand or can even comprehend how dangerous it is being under a horse when they get a little jumpy or scared. Just something to think about. Last suggestion, how about a video about you, 5 to 8 minutes about how you go into the trade? Financial investment? It's such a unique field and your love for horses / animals must be intense since (I think) you do this for a living. It's not really work, but I think a lifestyle and you are clearly ALL-IN and I respect that very much. That's all I got for now! Keep up the awesome work, I'm hooked!!! Just subscribed.

Very interesting to hear the differences between a draft hoof to a non draft. From doing the low work on a farm i know we did have many wraps of different lengths. Maybe for others you could try that but then youd have to wash them too

That is a huge hoof! How long from start to finish does it normally take to do all four hooves?

45 minutes to an hour

Now, THAT'S a hoof!

[@scottprice8994]

I would be afraid the horse would kick and break bones. It seems like that horse is very cooperative, though.

[@kimothy1701]

A knife to clean the hoof? Sure you didn’t really need a jackhammer it’s that big. 😮

[@amygoodson6253]

Just an FYI, if you use those adhesive ace bandages that would help alot. And save money because they are reusable.
