Would like an update on this one; if you have the option.

[@ItsAStephanieB]

Me too😊

[@judybicknell8610]

Me three please.

[@jenniferlehman326]

Please, if possinlble Caleb, could you do a follow-up or a Short letting us know what happened with this horse? I know a lot of people would like that. Your friend, the Retired Paramedic and Horse Trainer in Ontario, Canada, Jenn 💖 🇨🇦

[@caleberickson3-crossesfarrier]

Yes I will do that for sure 🙂

[@trailwalker19]

an obvious prior issue on that hoof... poor thing. keep us posted. Nice to finally see Calebs' face! lol

[@pattyannbeaven9287]

It was very interesting hearing you discuss what the problem was and what could be done, poor horse his hoof did look a mess!

[@Mickelina81]

Obligatory doggos snacking in the background.... And I want an update too 🙂

[@zathynpriest3544]

Thank you for the education you provide in regard to hooves and hoof care. One of my horses is 14 year old, 18hh Irish Sport Horse that broke his pelvis when he was just 3 days old. He went on to be a very good show jumper but, after bowing his tendon, was retired by the then owner and left in a paddock. By the time he came to me, he was in a bad way. Trying to find a farrier that was willing and able to deal with my boy’s multitude of issues has been almost impossible. For the past couple of weeks, I’ve been addicted to these types of videos because I knew the only way I could help my horse is if I knew enough to say, ‘Hang on a second, what you’re doing to my horse is not right and I can see where the problems are and what isn’t being addressed.’ To cut a very long story short, yesterday we had a new farrier work on my boy. He listened, he addressed the problems, and after two hours of his patience and dedication the relief in my horse’s expression was amazing. An excellent farrier is worth their weight in gold. A few months ago, I had a riding instructor try to convince me to have my horse put down because he ‘was just a paddock ornament’ and ‘what’s the point having a horse I couldn’t ride?’ and my personal favourite (insert sarcasm) ‘Look at it this way, he’s not gonna know he’s dead’. The bottom line is we, as owners, are their voice and we need to make sure we are educated enough to make our voice heard. According to the farrier yesterday, he sees no reason why my boy won’t recover from his issues over time and be able to be ridden again. But even if riding isn’t on the cards, my boy is an amazing Liberty/trick horse with an incredible gentle giant temperament who deserves the best I can offer him. Thanks again for taking the time to make these videos!

[@gregm312]

would like an update also

[@ledraslavik7868]

I like your voice over videos but this was a nice change up to hear the conversation as it was happening

[@mariestubbs4606]

Hope you can do a follow up on this lil fella Caleb would love to know the outcome .

[@lindag4484]

This is all fascinating to me. A pleasure to meet you Caleb and I look forward to more of your KZbin videos. After reviewing x-rays, I hope more can be done for that horse's hoof. Fingers crossed.

[@erynd2524]

Please update us with his progress.🙏

[@luananavarro4]

It was nice to see you on camera. I hope this horse will be ok ❤

[@marthaanderson2656]

yes this is for sure a "need radiographs" decision. If the owner cannot provide any clinical history I assume this sweet fellow is an auction or other type scavenge. I have a very soft spot for QHs like him and I hope something can be done or his obvious pain managed

[@mademoisellekaya1438]

Looks like he walks on the toe because it's too painful at his heel. And probably has damaged the wall because of the walking on the tip or has hit something, but you can see that he blows out to the sides and that is typically when the weight is on the front. But, I also would like an x-ray, problem, no cause can be higher up.. Either way, it is painful and not okay.

[@kayBTR]

I’m glad you explained that inflammation and extra blood flow due to an injury causes the hoof to grow faster. I’ve never heard anyone explain that before. Can’t wait to see the x-rays.

[@cathyb2204]

Excellent choice to let the conversation flow. Especially about the tractionless footwear!!! I wonder if any vets specialize in just hoof problems. Seems there is plenty to go wrong to make a career of it.

[@elizabethstampsmillsaps8608]

Caleb, You will be known as one of the greats in our industry!

[@mingram008]

Good video with great explanations! Thanks!

[@marypoundertillotson8579]

I like the videos and the explainations that you give. I am beginning to understand more about the hooves.

[@jlda9474]

Yes, please give us updates on this poor guy, and it would really be cool to watch you shoe him, and what shoe would be comfortable for him. He looks so sad, and in pain, so let’s give him relief! 😮‍💨 ❤from Maryland I’m not a farrier or horse owner, but we love horse’s in our family! Thank you I love hearing your opinions and commentary!😊

[@btcrazee1]

Definitely need an update if possible. Poor horse, I hope is in rescue.

[@pamelaremel7477]

I too would like to see a follow up, if possible. Poor horse. I agree that at some point he got wire cut. I've seen mant in my 70+ yrs.

[@Dreamworld986]

I think getting x-rays is crucial to see what's going on in there before any more work is done on the hoof.

[@bjharrison4460]

That's what killed Barbaro. His injury healed, but the lopsided way he had to stand caused him to incurably founder.

[@miketroutman7365]

Nice change to your format. You’re a teacher for sure.

[@MysticNightCalls]

That was very interesting.

[@user-db3jk5tu6v]

This is fantastic. I've never owned a horse. I've ridden only once. But this is all so interesting. Great job. Keep up these informative vids, please.

[@sjs2722]

Be interesting to see the xrays.

[@StoutShako]

"Oh god, I'm on camera now! Auuugh!" I felt that 😹😹😹

[@Remsgras]

It‘s nice to see more of the surroundings in your videos. I really like your videos and your calmness, keep up the good work 😊

[@whimsygrove9971]

You look nothing like I thought you would! 🤣 I've been an avid watcher for awhile and I thought you'd look completely different!

[@caleberickson3-crossesfarrier]

It's cause I'm so homely try not to put my face on videos lol don't want to ruin a good video😅

[@louise7429]

Not an expert, but when I saw that hoof I thought it was a club foot.

[@faster6329]

I've seen videos were you struggle with very dry hooves (These Hooves Are So Dry!!!), 10 months ago. I've seen Chinese farriers using a torch on dry hooves before they start to cut and it seems to soften the very dry hooves. Is it something you have ever used or would use? I've also seen some Chinese farriers using a cutting machine to start the job and cut off the first layers of the hooves before starting to use their knives, hence they won't use any nippers. They let the machine do the initial hard job, removing the first hard layers, before they use their knives for the finer last part. Is that something wester farriers would ever use? Thanks for all the great videos.

[@sharonblubaugh9305]

Poor thing. I hope it can be fixed

[@shawnaford5540]

Looks like his heel bulbs were traumatized or almost amputated? That is what looks like is missing?

[@penelopelgoss2520]

Did you, the vet in training OR the owner soak and clean the feet before or after the x-rays to find any infection that needed to be cleaned up the wrapped or filled to support the hoof before it could fully grow out then be trimmed? What grooming and feeding habits were changed to support the faster recovery?

[@underthebluesky92]

Learned a lot from watching this video, thanks. Best to the soon to be vet.

[@wolfeyessouls7965]

I'm so curious on the x-ray and see if a difference can be made..

[@judygouchie9701]

You are awseome!!!!!!

[@danielabackstrom]

That poor horse 💔

[@blondeenotsomuch]

So i am, curious why farriers dont use a crush, like the hoof gp guy uses on cattle? It holds them secure, steady. Weight is carried by the crush, all the feet are off the ground, and multiple feet can be worked on at the same time. Why isn't this used for drama trauma cases where the horse is out of control?

[@scampbell9375]

I am not sure, but would a hoof boot help to ease the pain in this poor horse's hoof, at least until the hoof grow out more to better trim it? but also to protect the area where the side wall has been damaged to prevent further damage?

[@khomo12]

Interesting! Follow-up, please!👍👍👍🐴🐴🐴

[@stijnVDA1994]

Can you look into making a somewhat direct followup to this video at the vet and see wat cán be done if anything?

[@Thylacina]

Poor thing. How does that even happen?

[@RubbingElbowsLLC]

In the video, he suggests an old access.

[@IcicleFerret]

Also was mentioned a possible wire cut, like he put his foot through a fence and sliced the corona. And at the very end, it was brought up that the horse may have injured the left front hoof, and by over-compensating for it with the right hoof, injured the right hoof.

[@SC-sf8xt]

Def an xray

[@stevieboi61]

👌

[@tinadelwiche416]

He looks young were this would not be a set back for him . And with proper care will recover nicely 😊

[@diggetydogdoggetydoo]

Would you please do a follow up? Thanks

[@clementinesnailboutique4956]

Would the Versa Glue On shoes work for a case like this?

[@caleberickson3-crossesfarrier]

It might but I would probably use a regular straight bar

[@user-wn8mg2jh1d]

Would loke what was the outcome

[@cindyrissal3628]

He does need his heels let down, but i understand why you cant. Be interesting to see the internal things going on in there...

[@cindyrissal3628]

I dont think I'd even try shoeing him til that all grows out...if it will...I think that would hurt him...

[@gregsmith8469]

I can't watch these dogs eating the scrap craps without turning my stomach

[@jeno264]

😂 same, even though I know doggoes will be fine

[@BNHAalltheway]

Hie aweful that his hoof is like that I hooe it can be helped

[@susanmorris6746]

Please update

[@alberthenderhot3109]

Please let us know how this horse turns out !!!!!!!!!

[@Avocadomushroom]

Acts like his feet hurt 🥺

[@judygouchie9701]

😕

[@JulianaBlewett]

I'm not a ferrier or vet, but that looks like an abscess.

[@user-peach408]

Why don’t you X-ray the foot! Please let us know how this hoof turns out.

[@caleberickson3-crossesfarrier]

We are going too we didn't have access to it on this particular day so we did what we could

[@jeanafoster2315]

Can I ask, why would you leave that hoof in such poor shape... it's obvious the heel has major problems... and leaving it only means that the horse is in pain... I'm just asking? I realize that you don't want to make it worse, but not doing anything is just sad....

[@caleberickson3-crossesfarrier]

We Can't do anymore we made it better. In cases like this we do whatever we can to improve the hoof then we get with a vet and come up with a plan to treat the horse going forward

[@skidaddle32]

If you’re working on a horse that is clearly in pain due to a sore hoof, why can’t you gently put its foot down rather than kick your leg out and just drop the foot? Such a simple act that takes into account the horse’s pain & discomfort. Also, if you want the truth about laminitis - watch and learn from Lindsay Setchell (KZbin) “It’s not rocket science”.

[@caleberickson3-crossesfarrier]

So 1st the horse has muscles and tendons and bone that support his weight way better than I can if he doesn’t want the foot to hit the ground he can prevent that. 2nd if you pick up horses legs a couple 100 times you will get tired of trying to set them down. 3rd when a horse is leaning on me it is safer and easier on the both of us if I get out from under him as fast as I can. Lastly I am familiar with lindsey Setchell and the barefoot natural horse hoof ideas while they work at times they aren't always the answer. If you want to research founder go check out Dr simon curtis he is arguably one of the most respected and greatest farrier in the world and has done amazing research into founder

[@shmeeden]

Some of Lindsay Setchell's approaches to founder are frankly horrible. Leaving giant flipper toes has no benefit to recovery. The science does not back up a lot of the approaches she and her followers advise. She does have *some* good content, but oh boy, not that stuff... Some of her material is very harmful. And I say that as someone who is a fan of barefoot (when it works).

[@angelicaaros8647]

I guess everyone does the treatment for these issues sorry im confused here

[@nattance1]

Why don't you wear gloves? Your hands are all banged up!

[@jeno264]

He's got to feel the sole depth to know how far to cut, probs annoying to take them on and off all day

[@PJC999]

Please refer to the vet student and stable owner as women....not girls

[@jeno264]

Lols I sometimes call the fellahs boys, oopsies

[@karendarel6281]

I have watched horses being shoed and getting hoof care for years. I don't think you know what you're doing at all. You talk to cover up the fact that you're incompetent.

[@caleberickson3-crossesfarrier]

Wow tell me how you really feel. Also are you a farrier
