This Horse is Massive!!! Massive Hoof Restoration - Trimming the Bigest Hooves I've Seen

[@joko09010]

I just watched your trim job on Lakota from four months ago when her feet were so dry. It’s interesting to see the difference here. Nice. My horse is a pretty big guy, but Lakota’s feet are the size of dinner plates. Farriers work SO hard and they’re usually the most important professional for our horses on a regular basis. No hoof, no horse….

[@RissaFirecat]

Truth!!! We owned several horses in our lifetimes, and now that I am retired and living in a mobile home, I live for these videos. My husband passed away a little over a year ago so this is something that helps me to remember the good memories. Thank you Caleb! Keep up the great work!

[@historicalfashionpassion]

I’d love to see a picture of the whole horse before and after. I was really hoping to see this big girl…

[@jennerally_correct]

I actually really appreciate how understanding you are! For them. I think people get pretty jaded working with animals. I LOVE that you let them choose! You are me new favorite

[@jenniferlehman326]

Caleb, thank you for your code. The barn owner used it and ordered another 6 hoof rest stands for the barn. So now there is no fighting at lesson time when people are grooming their horses. We now have extra stands, so that if an owner is there to hack out with their horse while a lesson group is getting ready, they have a stand they can use as well. So, in total, we now have 11 of these great stands at the barn!! Thank you again for the code!! Your friend, the Retired Paramedic and Horse Trainer in Ontario, Canada, Jenn 💖 🇨🇦

[@caleberickson_The_Dying_Breed]

That's amazing take some pictures please would love to see them being used

[@jenniferlehman326]

@caleberickson3-crossesfarrier I'll try Bit at lesson time, if I'm.giving the lesson, I'm too busy to think of pictures!! LOL 🤣 Ad my groups of students tent to be the very beginners and aged 10 or 11. Your friend, Jenn 💖

[@tozobozo4142]

This is the best tutorial on trimming Clydesdale feet i have found. Thanks very much. Bookmarked.

[@Jamie.fixes.things]

Do you do this with draft horses too? I don't have any horses. I never have. But I love them, especially big Ole clydesdale horses. If I ever have the opportunity if probably get a cross. Or maybe one draft horse and one that's kinda fast but can also do trail rides.

[@brentonkelly3780]

you did a great job, well done and thanks for sharing the video and your expertise!

[@suellenspencer-eb2nv]

Oh boy!!! What a massive hoof. Glad she's in you care. Excellent work.❤❤❤ Thank you.

[@rebeccac33]

I love Lakota videos. She needs a playlist. I love seeing how her hooves are different each season.

[@BuddhaKat1]

I'm an Uber driver and a moderate Republican. One of the best conversations I ever had with a passenger was with a very far-left college professor. It was polite and respectful. At the end of the ride, I told him I think I should tip him because the debate was so respectful and enjoyable.

[@lisawilson4424]

I’m delighted to know that the professor may have enlightened you. I’m am also far left. There’s good republicans you can support if you must be republican. If any democrats acted like the GOP today, I wouldn’t support them.

[@BuddhaKat1]

@@lisawilson4424, Oh we didn't agree on much of anything, we just had a great conversation. Both sides being respectful and polite.

[@dianeolsen33]

That mutual respect causes PEACE.

[@impunitythebagpuss]

We always made sure each horse to be trimmed or shod had perfectly cleaned hooves and if there were feathers, those were wrapped up out of the way. It's only fair to have your horses ready to be worked on. Also we always had cold drinks and sandwiches for the farrier!

[@caleberickson_The_Dying_Breed]

Do you need a new farrier lol seriously though this client has some disability so I do this for him I should honestly be more strict about having the horses ready for me

[@LoisLaBounty]

I call that 'mental gymnastics.' Like you said his side, your side, not arguing, just an exchange of ideas. Agreeing to disagree. Best part of the conversation.

[@jeanettecoleman-mz7ie]

You're a very appreciated Farrier, caring for these feet!, thank you. If you can't walk, ( as an animal) what chance for life do you have?

[@chandarussell]

I love the big breeds. I have a Percheron and a Shire both of whom are in their late 20’s. They’re such wonderful horses.

[@traceyrossberg4640]

Holy moly she's massive, can't be unfit with this job, she definitely gave you a workout! Love your videos Caleb, so informative and interesting, so do you go to the gym to keep fit Caleb? My back, knees and ankles hurt while watching😁 can't wait to see the video of the event you went to, thank you for posting and take care Caleb.👍💙🐎

[@annie6413]

Can you show the finished trim from the top with all four hooves on the ground?

[@miketroutman7365]

Great video Caleb. Thanks.

[@randybutler4772]

Thank you for sharing. 🐴

[@brendadoherty3060]

I am 70 years old woman. Absolutely love listening to o you wish my grandfather could have seen your videos. He was a manager do a stockyard station for the trains bringing in stock to be dipped and turned into steers also horn removal. Grandpa was a tough cowboy. My point is he was. Rey particular about his horses hooves. Anyway great job sir.

[@caleberickson_The_Dying_Breed]

Thank you for the kind words really would have loved to hear your grandfather's story

[@mrgarner4796]

My grandfather had several teams of Clydesdale and Percheron horses. When I was young I remember going to the barn to see these beautiful giants. For a kid... they were massive beautiful horses.

[@away_withthefairies]

Would the flare be less if she was Trimmed more often?

[@magdielperez2219]

My Back hurting just watching the video 😂 but i love it, thanks .

[@FLR1131]

Could you show more of the whole horse? Like a before and after.?

[@1958wstewart]

I am curious. When you were talking about her arthritis and how she was pulling on you, is there a downside to using the stocks? Especially for such a large horse. Great video.

[@seidnettzueinander9122]

A question, if you do this horses' hooves for a while - why don't you come in shorter intervals so the hooves don't look totally overgrown and neglected each time and you have so much more work?

[@charlottebonnie5320]

An honest answer would probably not be satifying for you. ------ This is a question I would like to ask the trimmers of Far East!! You probably don`t believe what is going on overthere: Watch "overgrown hooves - donkeys"!! The owners and the trimmers are extremely evil.

[@melissalovesnature3370]

I like hearing about the animals and what not. ASMR isn't really my thing, so I loved this video.

[@allieSunl]

Great video as always! I love the videos of you trimming Lakota! Quick question: do you consider shoeing horses to be like an intense workout every workday? It definitely seems like it!

[@anthonyhargis6855]

Fascinating and educational. Love the channel. 🍻

[@wrongfullyaccused7139]

I have watched many of your videos along with the Idaho school. You guys are great. Regarding your comment about being fit to do this kind of work: My wife always wanted a horse. So after a time we got some land and horses and have been doing the homestead thing for about fifty years. I am an avid DIY'er. Metal worker, welder, cabinet maker, gardener, machinist all of that stuff. So, I wanted to take care of the horses feet on my own. The internet was in its' infancy and You tube was not invented yet so I bought every book I could find and picked a lot of people's brains. Since our horses were just for riding on the property I never had to worry about shoes. So what I did was take care of their feet weekly so they NEVER looked like some of the horrors you guys have to deal with. I can attest that it is absolutely hard work. So, I learned to train horses, mostly so I would not get hurt. We don't have horses anymore but, I remember only too well the patience it took to do their feet correctly. What is very satisfying to me is that after seeing videos of experts like you and others, I found out I was doing it right all along. Thank you from a seasoned citizen for all you do.

[@RobertSmith-mo5ux]

just out of curiosity, why don't you use a cordless grinder like they do when trimming bovine feet?

[@JulieIelasi-lt7yp]

You do a caring job well done 👏 😊

[@faelsinnes]

In UK, was at the stables when the farrier came to do Triggers hoofs (3 year old Clydesdale) . Everything went well till the front left, hoof up on the jack , farrier bent over grasping hoof with knees. Trigger had been excellent all the way, over an hour for the first 3 hoofs, he just "settled" and the farriers back went out, slipped disc.

[@DelphineMWirth]

Wowzers that’s one huge hoof!

[@luckypnut]

I just started watching your videos and wanted to tell you that they are so informative. I have a question for you… what are their hooves made of that you’re taking off with your nippers, knife, etc.? It reminds me of when my dad would crack open a coconut and cut or break the meat into pieces for us to enjoy. Thanks for your videos. Great work!

[@kumatatas9512]

My mentor just got back from the convention in Reno too

[@caleberickson_The_Dying_Breed]

That's awesome

[@lindapruitt2656]

omg they brushed out her feathers!!!! I was thinking the same thing thing. Her feet are looking way way better!

[@travishendrix7026]

Nice work. Big as they get with these guys.

[@sancraft1]

We always had the horses hooves picked and cleaned in preparation for the farrier to get there.

[@DorothyRInman]

WOW!’ My bucket list…seeing Clysdales

[@LindaNiquette-vh5bx]

Those are some gigantic hoofs, holy moley!! Sometimes wish I had bought a draft horse years ago, love their personality and demeanor. Didn't know enough back then 😢. Had quarter horses but raised a couple babies and it was the best time of my life!! I miss the horsey smell a lot if you know what I mean, THEIR smell. ❤

[@TK-kf8zc]

Your work looks physically grueling. Much appreciated. If you you retire what do you do next?

[@angelwalker4712]

Caleb, I always enjoy your videos and the explanations about the horses you are working on. Thank you!

[@Thewrench1776]

What tools do you use? I have been triming my horses hooves for about a year and am still figuring out best poducts. What is you recommendation for a rasp especially?

[@cindyrissal3628]

It appears to me that the hoof stand would be easier to use if it were more shaped to actually hold the hoof, and not so much of a bump sticking up. It's too easy for the hoof to just slide right off...

[@caleberickson_The_Dying_Breed]

It doesn't quite work that way unfortunately. This is the design that works the best nothing short of tying the hoof to something solid is going to stop them from moving or make them keep the hoof on the stand

[@gregoryh4601]

Sir Can you use The Grinders that they use On Cows and Bulls as seeing on KZbin? Or the Noise to much for Horses

[@susanowens4528]

GREAT GOB LOVE DRAFT HORSES 🥰🥰🥰🥰

[@SOSPainting]

Love the health advice. I did not know these things when I was a painter and I paid for it 😩

[@joycethornsberry18]

Hoof Jack seams to need traction. The hoof is sliding so much on the Jack. Ours have a traction grid that holds the hoof more steady. Love the videos.

[@miamyos]

Would it be preferred to have heavy drafts shod if they're working horses since they're prone to flaring, or is regular and proper hoof care enough? I see a lot of videos of draft horses with huge amounts of flare and dishing but what I also see a lot on those horses is overgrown frogs and laid over and bent or broken bars, is that just how heavy draft hooves will be or is there a way to stay ahead of that problem?

[@audreybuchman1972]

On the front toe area LOOKED LIKE a small Crack. DO you ever have to use resin to KEEP the Crack from splitting?

[@SanjaZefir]

Thx for lovely video! Can we see Lacota next time?

[@caleberickson_The_Dying_Breed]

Yes absolutely sorry I usually do a video of the horse but I forgot this time unfortunately

Hello, Usually how long can you work on this job before you retire since it’s very physical work ?

[@martinhumble]

Thanks from 🇸🇪

[@gregm312]

nice work

[@kh7794]

It must be odd if you'd go from trimming her to a Shetland! I'm in wild horse country in Canada bordering with Montana and yep, we're pretty dry here ... horribly bad this year. Odd how she had both hooves split in almost the exact spot in the front. That trim is sure going to help if her arthritis was acting up and making her antsy, which would make sense in that weather.

[@caleberickson_The_Dying_Breed]

It's funny you say that the owner own 2 Minnie's I do them after the draft

[@beyondmiddleagedman7240]

What was one of your "stupid questions" at the convention? 🐎💚🐎💚

[@kevinneumann3845]

Hi. Great job. Why don't you cut the hair around the hoof instead of wrapping the hair up?

[@andreaburton7515]

The feathers are sacred, not to be cut

[@carolr7962]

Thats one big hoof! My goodness!

[@JulieIelasi-lt7yp]

Its so satisfying watching when you take iff the dead skin and i see the clen result afterwards fantastic 👏

I wonder if horses feel changes in the weather like arthritic people do...? Maybe she's reacting to something like that...

[@caleberickson_The_Dying_Breed]

Definitely could be I have several horses that struggle more in the cold

[@monaliberty473]

Noticed both fronts have toe cracks. Curious as to why you didn't address them.

[@occamsrazor7939]

Awww, poor baby. I understand what it's like to have arthritis. Conrete is hard on feet and joints on both animals and people. After a person reaches a certain age, they start losing the fat pad on the bottom of your feet. Shoes will need more inside padding.

[@jennerally_correct]

I get it... It hasn't been my day for 4 years

I was watching a short clip of Vivek Ramaswamy about a year ago probably around 2 or 3 in the morning. After a couple clips I ended up on a Waffle House orientation video which showed servers how to execute the method known as the pull, drop, mark. Sometime after that I stumbled upon your channel. I know nothing about horses and I will most likely never have to give a horse a pedicure but your videos are awesome and relaxing. Great work!
