I was very lucky to meet a Clydesdale, and he put his head over the fence and we had a love fest. They are so gentle, so sweet, and HUGE!

Nice job, well trimmed and drafts are a rewarding challenge. Can you also talk about trimming a horse that is pigeon toed? As 1 horse I have is pigeon toed, so a little tricky to trim.

I love the big horses. Many yrs ago had the opportunity to meet a group of Budweiser Clydesdales that were out on the rd and stopped at a 4H stable by my house to rest. Truly magnificent horses.
@eacole72Ай бұрын
When I was a young kid, my dad took me to the American Royal. He was talking with someone at a commercial table, and I wandered off to the horse barn where the Budweiser Clydesdales were bedded down. I watched them groom for a while, and one of the handlers asked if I wanted to meet them. I ended up on the back of one of the big boys. The horse only sort of noticed that I was on his back. He kept on eating his oat mash and the handler kept on grooming. I was about 8 or 9, and 45 years later it is still imprinted in my mind.

New to your channel. I had been watching cow hoof trimming until I found you. I really like your narration and explanation of what you are doing. You are very gentle with the horses and careful not to hurt them. Very impressive videos. And I agree with your other followers in that it would be great to see the horses. Good luck in your certification.

Do they make carbide rasps? I’ve heard you say that you go through a new one quickly. I watch Sprague woodturning & Jim turns wood & epoxy which is extremely hard. For wood you only need steel but epoxy will make you have to sharpen your tool multiple times a project. The carbide can hold up a lot better so I thought it might be helpful to you to get one made if you can’t buy one

Been watching several of your videos and I'm really impressed. And learning so VERY much. I don't have horses at present (had them as a child, but I wasn't in charge of a lot of care, other than making sure they had food/water/a clean stall/friendship), but we do have them in our future plans, so I'm very glad to learn this NOW, before I make mistakes that can be avoided. One of the things you talk about is how horses can be harmed by less-than skilled farring. (Did I spell that right?) Sadly you're probably not located near where we'll have our farm. May I suggest a video on what the (novice or near novice) horse owner should look for in a farrier before they let them loose on their horses? If you haven't already? And if so, please point to that. Maybe also a video on what horse owners should be doing (such as regular hoof cleaning, checking for stones and being attentive enough to know when their critter is limping--but I'm sure there are a lot of other things as well that might not be so obvious) to care for their horses' hooves before they become a problem. Also, assuming a sound horse and no presenting problems, how often should they be seeing a farrier?

Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us. I know absolutely nothing about horses but love them anyway. I wonder if sometime you could go over the anatomy of a horse’s foot. I sure don’t see any toes or frogs or anything. LOL 🤔 I’m a retired nurse and I like learning about stuff like that. If you’re too busy that’s fine. That’s what Google is for, I guess. Thanks, Caleb!

I plan to get a draft in the future. What are some things I can do before my farrier gets there to make it easier? Wrap up the feathering ✅ Make sure they stand for them ✅ and special equipment I should have on hand maybe you would like owners to have just in case?

My great grandfather was a stable hand for Mr Penman (the underwear king of Canada). He travelled to Canada from northern England /Scotland with Mr Penman’s horses (a stable of polo ponies and Draught Horses) in a ship’s hold. We still have his trophies and awards for the presentation of Mr Penman’s animals ( Mr Penman allowed them to keep any awards they earned in his employment).

I’ve heard that light colored hooves are softer than dark hooves. True or false? People’s hair has different texture, so is the same for horse’s hooves?
@stijnVDA1994Ай бұрын
Would it be interesting to look into stating sometimes how thick the hoof wallhorn is in a video or two so people can make a mental picture of how far you can go before hurting the horse in any sort of way and so decreasing the ammount of hoofwall thickness concerns..

I love watching shows, the size of her is huge, I was wondering if by any chance to use a verable speed grinder, there's these flush cutting blades, say a 5 inch flush cutting blade would make the huge foot a easy as to clean up well, but feel she mite get scared from the noise. Just a thought tho

Hold up! Did you say you were competing? Are you willing to show us some of that content? I used to watch some of them, I loved watching them hammer away, and to (like you in your trimming videos and how to use the competitions as a way to get better at their jobs). They never got into what place they took or the judging aspects, just the anvil time and mental process.

Question: could you point out when you say something like 'the bars or alike anatomy, where that is with for instance a quick picture in between the video, so that those that do not know what it is or where should I say, they know what you are talking about? Or, if you have that, a video about this? So you can say, a link is in the description box? It's just a suggestion or idea, I honestly haven't looked at all of your vid's, haven't had the time yet but a referral is always handy, if you catch my drift 👍 (Although you really explain a lot right now in this video and I absolutely would love it to hear that in every video so everybody who is new knows it so much faster, still would love a 1 hoofed anatomy 'lesson' video, IF you do not have that already 😁 ) But, great work, thank you for showing us 👍 Edit: question 2, when you have rasped the hoofwall, is it possible to show again the first POV? Because I never have seen the hoof at the underside after the rasping of the hoofwall.. And yes, one question more 😁 , she has bruises on the inside or outside? edges of the frogs on both hoofs, what is a cause of this?
