That was a great breakdown of what you were accomplishing in this video. Most ferriers I watch don't speak on what or why they are doing or treating a hoof in a certain way or shoeing it. They just don't talk. Mahalo and Aloha for the schooling !!!!!!

My only experience with horses is being the husband who cleaned all the stalls and corrals when I was married to a woman who knew a lot about horses. We boarded them and she provided training to those wanting to learn to ride. I provided the cleaning!! lol But watching your videos brings back the memories of watching the farrier who would come out and clean all the hooves. I was fascinated watching him as I am now fascinated in watching your videos. I know if I ever did own a horse I would be very comfortable having you do his hooves as I see the care and expertise you put into each horse. Great job; great video.

The penny dropped for me with this video!! I now know what your reference point is for how to determine hoof length. I would like to know how much frog should be touching the ground though. I guess you have to be level on all sides. My Ferrier says that the horse has 5 hearts…one heart pumping in each foot and the main one pumping in the chest. I suppose I could have ascertained the frog position after being told that but I didn’t.

Your farrier is absolutely correct I say the same thing a horse has 5 hearts the frog it is one of the most important parts of the hoof in my opinion

@elizabethhostetter194610 ай бұрын
It occurred to me that an analogy for understanding how the hoof grows *forward* instead of *down* would be when, as a kid, you outgrew your shoes. The heel of the shoe would start creeping forward under your foot as your toes pushed forward. The flare would be the sides of the foot pushing the sides of the shoe outward, until the side of the shoe-sole are actually pressing on the sole of the foot itself. Wait too long, and your heels are actually hitting the ground behind the heels of the shoes - ouch!

A very nice video Caleb. I have seen a lot of my father’s horses, and those of other friends. It is an interesting science of correcting those things that went wrong, either from genetics or environment. I am now down to a full brother and sister pair of Standardbreds that are nearing twenty. Dottie always needs just what you showed here. Sonny has run with Dottie, and has never had anything more than a pick used on his feet. Having a broken back, requires some scheduling of her work on my “good days.” Watching you work, does help when those days come together. I thank you. Where was the trimmings pick up dog?

I just came across this page recently, but I love watching Hoof GP do cows, so it was an obvious step. Graham always talks about how sharp his knives need to be, but you're using yours to dig out dirt and sand and rocks from the grooves on either side of the frog, then trim with it. Do you ever have issues with the dirt dulling the knife or are horse hoofs easier to cut, somehow.

Hi Caleb, this video was super helpful to me. I am just starting to try to trim my own horses, and one of them who is new to me looks a lot like this. I didn't know enough about hoof care to realize this horse has probably been under-trimmed his whole life. Do you have any tips for people with less upper body strength and small hands? I'm finding that I just can't get big enough bites with my nippers, especially when the job looks like the one in this video.

This comment is meant to try to help you so please consider all aspect of this criticism. Think of the idea that length is from the top and depth is from the bottom the heel go to the widest part of the frog the center of the coffin joint is at the termination of the bar. The heel had alot of depth the toe not so much its our job to preserve vertical depth the bottom of the coffin bone is concave the soal should also be concave you took an excess of vertical depth at the toe and didn't bring the heel back the the widest part of the frog your proportions were off from the center of articulation of the coffin bone which should be at least 50 50 if not 60 40 and left alot of length in top of the foot. Try to remember distortion goes all the way to the heel so dress the foot all the way to the heel. These are mistakes we have all made getting with a CJF in your area and going through AFA certification would really help you sort these things out. Keep up the good fight.
@caleberickson_The_Dying_Breed10 ай бұрын
While I respect your opinion I would point out that I did address the heal and I did bring it back as much as possible while I do hang out with cjf and cf Farriers I have found that having that title does not mean you can shoe horses correctly. I've seen guys that have no title that are super handy and I've seen guys with a title that I wouldn't let touch a dead horse let alone a live one. To take the heal all the way down with out shoeing this horse would have made her lame. This is a brood mare so we do what we can
