Gotta love people that have never been around horse's tell you how a particular horse is feeling and how there communicating. And you spend every day all day round horse's of many different breed's. I could feel your frustration on the back hoof. Have a good day every day. Thanks for the video's.

You did a fantastic job with Duke Caleb, of course horses can be jerks, my best friend owned a jerk of horse, he went through some many farriers, he would kick, bite, and pull, but an excellent horse to ride, so just like humans, animals can be jerks too😂I loved how patient you were with him, excellent videos, excellent channel, thank you very much for posting Caleb, and you take care of yourself too.😂👍💙🐎

Well done bro! Just let them talk. They´ll never understand it anyway. They don´t know about our aching backs in the evening, they don´t understand what great relief it is to jump into the driver seat of the truck and just relax a few minutes before arriving the next stable.... "oh, it looks so easy how you do that... so what´s the problem?" - they´ll never understand 🤠 Stay save brother! Greetings from Europe

Just more like this, Caleb. I love it when you do videos like this. It's very interesting and informative for me, as a horse trainer. I always learn so much. It helps me when it comes time to rasp foals feet for the first time. To know what shape they should be in. I try always to keep it in its natural shape, because they're so new, it's easy to do when they are young. Thank you for sharing another great video!!

I've been watching your videos, and you do an amazing job! My gelding became lame (bone spurs in the pasture joint, toe callus, stretched laminae front toes), which was seen by two vets but was not given any answers on treatment or prevention. My shoer never said anything, since the shoe covers the laminea, and he would shape the hoof to the shoe. Due to the toes grew faster and he'd place the shoe back and trim/rasp the excess. He was my farrier for several years and I have to wonder if my gelding could of lived a better pain-free life. I did change farrier towards the end who specialized in laminitis and tried to give my gelding comfort, but by then, the damage was done and unreversable. ( Farrier used pads in the fronts) My gelding was laid to rest at almost 28 (had him since he was 4). I raised and broke a few horses in my younger years and always started with excellent ground manners and how to stand for the farrier. Zero tolerance for improper behavior, but a horse can sense a good farrier. I'd joke with my farrier about giving me a discount for how well my horses stood for him...but you guys earn every dollar!

Like me in my job in food service as the years go by I end up for example tweaking recipes I know how to do and figure out how I can improve and make that recipe taste even better.

Have the owner watch Ryan Rose latest video it shows working with a horse that fights his hind feet. I lease a horse for the summer so I take him back to the owners place to have his feet done every 6 weeks. He is barefoot but their farrier never trims the frog he says it will shed naturally usually about a week later I have to deal w a big flap that is loose. Enjoy your videos thank you for sharing.

Thank you for this video of the front and rear. Excellent work!! After my Father had MRI to see how bad the liver cancer had spread, the had this very worried look on his face. He said yo dad, sir it looks like it worse than we thought. So they started to show him the various dark spots. Except for the seriousness of the liver the rest were spots from where a horse had done some damage. The doc would say this dark spot and that spot and dad said no, that's where a horse hit me or the horse bucked and fell off. 😂. He would also say they all have personality of there own.

Hi, Firstly I would like to admire your viewpoint in life, then the excellent content in your programmes. Here is something back- I notice at a racecourse meeting in England a farrier had a magnetic strap on his wrist -simple ,clever. He also had a "French " shoeing light hammer which brought me to one of the finest shoeing hammer of all F. Dick, Germany- Have a look- real deal - and so are the knives. F. Dick are cutlers of excellent quality. Well done.

My TB is not a fan of having his hind feet done. He used to have pain in his hocks and I think he resorts to thinking he still does. Some of my farriers would work his foot lower (not raise it as high while trimming) and that helped until we fixed the pain issue. He’s now bare in the hind (thanks to a good farrier shaping his feet and a good hoof supplement) and so his hind feet take 1/4 the time!

So I am watching a ton of farrier videos, as my mare has become impossible with her feet with groom and farrier, she was raised i was her own as a pet for her first 6 years, turned her into a clever, difficult mare. She allows me to pick and raspberry her feet. So the journey is now for me to learn how to trim. (I am a 63 year old lady horse rider and coach.. So a brand new experienc is this journey of The making of a Farrier for Faye🦄

@DataPilot370 7 ай бұрын

I have an old mare who also fights like this gelding when her hind feet are worked on. Im pretty sure it’s due to arthritis. A gram of bute prior to the farrier’s visit makes a huge difference in her behavior.

"No bad horses/dogs/etc only bad owners" is said by people who don't realize that animals have personalities and free will. Yes, training helps mitigate most of those behaviors, but it won't completely eradicate it in an animal that chooses to persist, especially when that animal seriously outweighs you.

There very well could be something bothering him. Lots of horses that have opinions on their hind end have a reason that hasn’t been discovered yet. I shod a horse that’s Big complaint was he felt less willing on the left rein. Nothing to do with me but several months later it was discovered he had a huge sliver jammed in behind his ear. No wonder he didn’t want to bend. I feel you though. I don’t enjoy the ones that yank and lean near as much as the horses who stand like saints.

Horses that pull their hind legs away like this, do it out of discomfort due to the raised legs position. Usually they feel pain in the pelvic or sacroiliac region. If this happens when I give my horses hoof trim, I stop to give them release execises before I continue trimming. Immediately they stand much happier.

I think the reason why this horse is difficult is a hidden cause of pssm. these kind of horses are known to be difficult with the hind legs and are a bit more sensitive with nailing the shoes. in most cases what can help for them is to keep the legs a bit lower and more under the body they tend to get more quiet with their feet.

One of my quarter horses was a total jerk. There was no easy dealing with him. So, when it was vet or farrier time, into the stocks. (We had draft horses then, also.) As soon as the work was done he settled down. He was good riding and behaved with the other animals. Just HATED having his hooves worked on. (Even daily cleaning.)
