Nice job. Would like to see a shot of the entire horse. I think you usually include that, now.

[@ApBarr345]

That sounds like a good workout.

[@AzureHeartSong]

I trim my 17hh Belgian mare myself. Drafts are exhausting. You sound like me panting up a storm lol.

[@RockinJFarrier]

AzureHeartSong good for you. It’s on the upper edge of work.

[@andyjones6361]

Wow that whole inside hoof wall is gone!

[@anndeveaux7108]

Maybe a hoof cradle would help you out.

[@RockinJFarrier]

I’m going to start doing them in a shoeing stock. They weigh over a ton and there’s nothing easy about the job. At some point it’s not worth the physical expenditure to do them without some mechanical assistance. No matter how good they are.

@@RockinJFarrier If it's safer for you and them, it's a win win. Good luck!

[@RockinJFarrier]

Thank you.

I hop the farrier is okay. Sounds like heart or lung problems.

[@RockinJFarrier]

Doin just fine. Recently lost 50 lbs. Thanks for your concern.

[@canadianrushfan12]

What are those things on his legs you cut off?

[@RockinJFarrier]

Jay, They are called Chestnuts. They sometimes shed naturally but need trimmed off.

@@RockinJFarrier I thought that’s what I heard.

[@michaelogden5093]

Does a nice pair of nippers make much of a difference?

[@RockinJFarrier]

Michael Ogden, The same as Harbor Freight as apposed to Millwaukee tools. You get what you pay for.

[@myfirstcrappyvideobilly]

So I guess it would be stupid to use a stand.

[@amymarshall5058]

The way he breathes through this is disgusting. Gives me the creeps.

[@AzureHeartSong]

You’ve obviously never trimmed a horse much less a draft horse. They weigh over 2,000lbs and they lean on you. It’s extremely hard work to do their feet. He’s breathing like that because he’s using a pair of nail clippers to trim rock hard hooves while holding the leg of a one ton animal all while bent over.

[@RockinJFarrier]

AzureHeartSong, I couldn’t have said it better. Thanks. 🤠

[@michaelogden5093]

Maybe check out the farrier channel where the smooth Hollywood type shoes a horse. I hear he can do some Shakespeare before the first nail is drove and all the horses stand still while hearts of love pour from their eyes as they flash their lashes at him. Easy on the eyes too. Just kidding... all hard working men are pigs.

[@canadianrushfan12]

Ever seen a horse that size?
