Trimming Long and Overgrown Hooves - Trimming Both front Hooves - What Farriers See - So Satisfying

[@jenniferlehman326]

Loved seeing both feet done, not just one foot. I liked seeing the difference between the two feet, instead of having to go back to the previous video and trying to compare them. Thank you, Caleb, for sharing this format. I greatly appreciated it. Your friend, the Retired Paramedic and Horse Trainer in Ontario, Canada, Jenn. 💖 🇨🇦

I appreciate your clear videography and your continuous description of what youre doing, even if you add the voice-over later. My wife and I have taken over trimming our 3 barefoot horses after our farrier retired. It gives us a much greater respect for what it takes to do a good job.

[@sallyc2593]

Thanks for the two feet! Love your commentaries 👍

[@btcrazee1]

I enjoyed the video with both feet. I had no idea the difference in the hooves, but it makes sense. Thank you

[@boodatullar2345]

Like seeing both feet. It helps to see of there is a difference

[@brentonkelly3780]

Good work. Pye’s, seeing both feet in one video definitely a plus. All four be even better.

[@Tassie646]

Both front feet is better, how your back stands up is impressive. Well done 👍👍👍

[@MrKOtenor]

Could you include a view of the entire horse in future videos? Thanks for all the helpful little tips--obvious to you but foreign to me.

[@brianbelliveau5551]

Nicely done ✅ yes it is nice to see both hoof’s in the same video

[@traceyrossberg4640]

It was great seeing the comparisons of the front feet, you could tell the lengths were different, excellent job as always, love watching your informative videos, thank you so much for posting, and take care.👍💙🐎

[@brandonreeves5979]

You do some great work brother! After there pedicure those horses are probably happier than a jackass eating briars. Lol!

[@mingram008]

Great videos! I like the two foot videos. A double tutorial with a comparison. Thanks for your work!

[@andyjones6361]

Yeah I too like to see the entire process and the before and after. Also does the shellac or oil help prevent that natural cracking?? Great video.

[@MichaelReall-sp1pp]

Thank you for including both fronts.

[@crabtreeshep4969]

Great job. Why not use the hoof dressing on the superficial cracks? Just curious.

[@tsaiwentseng2899]

Seeing both feet is great! Just learned some new things. I would like to know if the imbalence between two feet, either front or hind, is significant, should I be worried?

[@DeeE101]

Nice trim! When horses hoofs are longer on one side compared to the other, does it affect them in any way in the long run? I mean does it affect their movement or spine alignment or does it have to be a very significant difference before it starts to make a difference?

[@caleberickson_The_Dying_Breed]

Over time if it's not dealt with it can become a serious problem but it takes a long time

[@dshe8637]

It's more likely to affect joints of the fetlock or knee/hock. It also puts extra stresses inside the hoof; a longer part of wall can push the wall away from the laminae of the hoof capsule

[@m.m.1933]

Looks great! I help a friend trim her rescue horses and blm donkeys * definitely appreciate the advice and information! And all hand done vs. Power tools* nothing wrong with power tools but not our preference *

[@jennyrosd2003]

How much do you like to rasp from the outside? I don't like shaping the foot from the top outside other than to just get a roll on the edge. Doesn't it continually thin the hoof wall at the lower 3rd? I see the ugly bull nose alot. Drives me nuts. Seems like the outside wall needs to be left alone but how do you address flare? Just wondering

[@natalieschuman]

Hello Caleb, I am trying to learn this stuff and I have seen videos where they "map" out the hoof and measure. Why do they do this? Do you have an eye for it now and no longer need to do that? Thanks for your time, Natalie

[@caleberickson_The_Dying_Breed]

I have used hough mapping in the past it's a very useful tool I can do it mostly by eye now

[@natalieschuman]

@@caleberickson_The_Dying_Breed Thanks Caleb. That was a fast reply. Nice to meet you.

[@anneoconnorao]

Love seeing both front feet!! ❤👍

[@nevadarosie9271]

Good work.

[@julzy8157]

Great seeing the difference in the two front feet from the same horse :-)

[@brittanyfogg7605]

I love it and I love ❤️ horses so very much

[@KnightMoonShadow]

It'd be nice seeing all 4 being trimmed and an after shots with the feet on the ground.

[@suellenspencer-eb2nv]

Love the info. Good video.

[@miketroutman7365]

Thanks for the explanations.

[@gregm312]

i liked it ( both in the vid )

[@markmmcaulay]

Like aeeing both for comparison. Thx

[@khomo12]

👍👍👍🐴🐴🐴

[@TypicalTGreen]

Very "not farmed gal" question: coconut oil on superficial cracks? Yes? No?

[@caleberickson_The_Dying_Breed]

Definitely can't Hurt wife says coconut oil is good for everything 🤣

[@TypicalTGreen]

@@caleberickson_The_Dying_Breed Thank you! My mind comes up with some of the most random questions sometimes! 🙂

[@ikkeweststeijn8290]

Love too see all 4 feet done

[@debbiegoble9836]

I like watching..

[@gerrycoleman7290]

Bevel, then roll. Not flat then roll. For barefoot trim.

[@jefferyschirm4103]

My farrier said he wanted his nippers sharp enough to cut cigarette paper!!

[@robertlaw6283]

It would be nice to see at least one shot of the horse and not just the hooves.

[@gerrycoleman7290]

Not taking out the bars.........taking down the bars.

[@snowspacecake2738]

Why not put nail polish on them. I see it in other videos people put nail polish on the feet
