Trimming Massive Draft Hooves - So Satisfying

[@barbarafoster6757]

I love that you narrate what is going on. Makes the video even more interesting.

[@midwaytools4066]

Another great video, really enjoying the longer, more detailed format

[@mollymackenzie3307]

Beautiful dapple grey. =)

[@grimbo73]

I like that you explain everything you're doing. I know next to nothing about horses and such and I learn something almost every time I watch one of your videos.

[@DeeE101]

Thank you for an awesome video Caleb! I am so happy that you took the advice of your viewers and started to introduce us to the horse you are about to work on. Your trade is so interesting to watch, I am thankful you explain so much about the mechanics of the horse, the importance of good hoof health and maintenance. Please keep up the excellent content, I look forward to your next video! ❤️❤️❤️

[@jenniferlehman326]

Thanks, Caleb. I always enjoy watching your videos when you do both feet. And even if you're just cleaning the hoof out at home, I've found, in my experience anyway, that putting the hoof oil on after you've worked the horse, is always a good idea. Only because you've worked the horse, probably in a sand arena or indoor school, and that can dry the feet and lead to cracking. So I always oil the hooves after I ride as a precaution to prevent that. And the horses I work with are in training, so are being ridden usually twice or three times a day. And if we haven't had rain or a high humidity rating, I just don't want to risk any cracking of the hooves for my clients' horses. The barn owner insists that the last lesson of the night is that the riders do this as well to the school horses. It's worth preventing a problem than having to try and correct one in the future. I hope you had a safe and great Independence Day!! Best Regards from your friend, the Retired Paramedic and Horse Trainer in Ontario, Canada, Jenn. 💖🇨🇦🇺🇲

About white hooves - it’s all about what you put IN them, not ON them. I bred and raised a 3/4 TB and 1/4 Appy in FL with four white hooves, and made sure he had free choice minerals with added sulfur (either flowers of sulfur or MSM) from the time he was conceived. Not only did he have sturdy feet but great skin and hair. No rain rot, no whiteline problems and thick walls. I’m sure some hoof qualities were genetic to some degree but I firmly believe that optimal nutrition was a large factor. When I moved to WY his walls were so hard I had to ask a much younger man (I am female, 60ish then) to do the nipping to start, and he complained how tough they were! I had done his feet for years with an occasional farrier to make sure I wasn’t doing anything wrong. I’ve trimmed several horses, all mine, but none were as tough hoofed. He was also the only one I raised from start to finish so he had a great nutritional advantage over most.

[@artsymarxist]

Jeb is such a perfect name for that horse. Love it

[@sarahcaffrey9959]

Really excellent fluid commentary, lovely horse and so informative. Back in the UK the Fell pony has black feet and they are super strong. Keep posting your wonderful videos.

[@clydesdale-kh6pv]

You seriously are one of the best! I love all the drafts! Keep them coming and God bless! Clyde’s are special!

[@allieSunl]

I LOVE the draft hooves! Thanks so much for the content!

[@rossbrymer4151]

What brand hammer do you use? What ounce? 👍

[@caleberickson_The_Dying_Breed]

8 oz. Horse head hammer

[@melodienaber3238]

Beautiful horse❤ lovely shoe job...he looked so 'dapper' gray. ❤❤

[@Goofykatze]

Thanks for showing the whole process and talking is through the steps and your thoughts. There is so much more to learn from this kind of content than from just shorter parts of a hoof trim recording.

[@Papermoon310]

Nice work and great hooves! He is gorgeous, I love draft horses!

[@ellenpalmer8571]

Thank you for narrating. Great job. Love the draft horses,

[@mikecope2365]

Beautiful work, real craftsmanship and that horse! Stunning creature.

[@RafaelaFerguson]

Beautiful job Caleb! Jeb’s feet after you’ve cleaned, trimmed and shoes his hooves look gorgeous; especially, when you add the hoof oil. ❤❤

[@pattyannbeaven9287]

Beautiful horse, your videos are so interesting, thanks for the detailed explanation it’s great to have an understanding of why you do things the way you do. Sorry you lost your favourite loop knife, new ones just don’t feel the same.😢

[@vault7137]

Fascinating process! I know nothing of horses or caring for them. I like how you explain everything. Cool video :)

[@nobu824]

I love watching videos of hoof cutting🥰🥰🥰

[@janesmith5871]

I love the quarter crease! Pretty counts. :)

[@davidherringgo]

Sure enjoy seeing your vids. I can tell you love Jeb. Do horses know that they need to be shod periodically ? Which is why they let you jerk around on their foot. I used to work with thoroughbreds at racetracks in Cali.,Tx., Ok., Ark. La.

[@caleberickson_The_Dying_Breed]

I wouldn't say they know they need done but they do trust you

[@davidherringgo]

Thanx

[@Chavacandraw]

Really enjoy learning while watching.

[@EdwinSemidey]

I so agree with you I am a big Morgan breed fan and they have started to breed for smaller hoofs which in turn causes a lot of hoof problems

[@wandametcalf8263]

Nicest care I have seen yet!!!❤❤❤

[@gretchenchristophel1169]

WoW! I wish my feet looked that good. 😂 You're dead on about the genetics...there is a YT channel from BC Canada...he rescues the Canadian mustangs. They have fabulous feet/hoofs, too...nice hoof walls like Jeb has. Thanks for another great instructional video.

[@jefferyschirm4103]

The biggest advantage of a big hoofed horse is if you ride through some extra wet areas !

[@beatmaker7515]

I've learned a lot from your videos.Thank you

[@lesliestout1241]

Howdy from west Texas!! 🤠 Enjoy the explanations.

[@idadiamondlee3063]

Where do u buy that hoof shoe stander? The one u put the hoves on :)

[@kellysaunders8770]

Tacking the nail to hold the position of the shoe is similar to a tailor/quilter using a stitch to tack fabric in place to keep it from moving. Amazing how such different professions can and use similar techniques.

[@jemreandeau3583]

Great informational video. Jeb is a beautiful boy with an interesting speckled coat. ❤

[@debraimmer260]

You do an awesome job

[@herveallen1421]

Love it ....the word hoof gets me ...guess I'm used to huuf 😊

[@paulabuck5976]

When you placed the 1st nail just halfway, I said “Now I bet he will go to the opposite side nail, position the shoe exactly where he wants it & then pound in that nail all the way. Then, he’ll go back and pound in the “anchor nail” the rest of the way. This I knew (apparently!)from years of watching my dad-a tool & dye maker/machinist. IOW, I didn’t know that I knew this (!!) until I watched it on your video! ❤

[@sarahconnor4984]

Would love to see how you forge/shape the shoes!

[@tinadelwiche416]

What a gem😊

[@traceyrossberg4640]

Jeb is a beautiful strong boy, looks like a gentle giant, his hooves looked so beautiful, love the oil, just a quick question, why doesn't Jeb like hot shoeing, did something happen? Another excellent video and job, thank you so much Caleb, thoroughly enjoy your videos, take care.👍💙🐎

[@caleberickson_The_Dying_Breed]

Not really sure he's out of Amish country which I would think means he has been hot shod but he doesn’t like it so I don't know if something happened or he just doesn't like it

[@traceyrossberg4640]

@@caleberickson_The_Dying_Breed thank you so much for answering my question, really appreciate it, love your channel, keep up the great work!, Take care Caleb.👍💙🐎

[@EmmelineSama]

Hi! So, every 7 weeks horses need new shoes?

[@caleberickson_The_Dying_Breed]

Yes thats correct

[@randybutler4772]

Thank you for sharing.🐴

[@mademoisellekaya1438]

Question; Where I'm living, it is absolutely normal to clean the hoofs out when going out riding.. even those horses that not going out but have something going on and are out in a paddock on whatever, they get grabbed as fast and get checked on stones or something off and immediately get their hoofs cleaned. Just because that has been taught (me at 6 years of age) Is that not the way it is normally? What you said about the nails... that is the one thing that makes me nervous, for the reason you said but also, some just drop nails ánd their remains everywhere and simply don't care, well.. you can not get me get any more worked up when that happens! I have seen loads of horses shoe'd in my lifetime now, and you are one that has a real talent for it! Just please watch those nails and those loose twisted ends that end up on the ground.. a horse that has no shoes walks by when you are long gone (not only you I mean, every farrier I mean with that but hope you get my drift 😉 ) and et voilà, has a piece of nail stuck is what I'm saying to all of you farriers ☺️ And I will always grinn a little bit when you see draft horses hoofs and the reactions 😄 guess that to me they are decently normally having grown up not far from a Country that have them as their Horse of their origin and we see them a lot being a neighbor 😊 Love your work ánd the passion that sounds in your voice.. 👍👌😎

[@kida12]

Had a farrier who said grey feet are the strongest. I was unaware of the concept of grey feet before that farrier and have never found another farrier who was aware either. He said a grey hoof is when the outer hoof is black and the inner hoof is white. Possibly only on grey horses as all mine with grey hooves were grey horses, though most of my greys had either white or black hooves. That farrier taught me a lot of things about hooves and how they grow differently in different breeds. He was also a cowboy poet and a designer of farrier implements. Interesting guy.

[@judithburke1539]

He is beautiful! Is he used as a draft horse, or for riding? Just curious 😊.

[@caleberickson_The_Dying_Breed]

Riding

[@dougwilliams8602]

Thanks

[@Just1Nora]

What an absolute sweetheart Jeb is, and so handsome! 😍 I agree that we need basically more "mutts" in horse genetics. Domesticated and breed standard dogs, bulldogs, frenchies, chihuahuas, etc, and horses suffer from this. They frequently have lots of health problems and don't live as long because they are inbred, linebred, or end up with detrimental deformities from being bred for certain looks. I'd much rather have a healthy crossbreed than a sick or short lived breed standard.

[@jeffdicello9242]

Anybody know what they do with the old shoes?

[@EphriamHolmes]

From my experience I have found white feet are not harder but truly takes in moisture faster so you will see changes in wet environments.

[@mittvarupptaget]

My Belgian Draft / Swedish Warmblood cross had horrible feet. Super soft and very prone to hoof rot and thrush. Couldn't bee without shoes because the hoofs wore down in a couple of weeks 😅

[@emeles7853]

Nice job, beautiful feet, great explanations, really a pleasure to watch. You might want to tell the owner to treat the central sulcus for thrush and the feet might become even better.

[@clydesdale-kh6pv]

More Clyde’s please! Are Clyde hooves more delicate than other drafts?

[@kellybrown1042]

How much is it to shoe a horse these days?

[@SergioPena20]

I hope I make it to the point in life where I can afford to buy and care for horses. I don’t know if it’s the Native in me that makes me feel some type of bond with horses. I’ve loved them since I was a little boy.

[@nixland]

The most interesting thing watching hoof trimming is the asmr sound. Unfortunately I can't hear that in this video.

[@ماجدسكر-م7ق]

والله انت زي العسل ممكن اطلب منك طلب وعلشان خاطري متفهمنيش غلط ومتكسفنيش والله نفسي اشوفك بجد واحشني أوي ❤️🌷

[@michellemckee269]

Why put shoes on the horse, anyway? Why, do dogs love chewing on the hoof scraps?

[@yessabell1707]

❤️❤️❤️

[@Ida-fz3ir]

do the american horse owners never clean up the hoofs of their horses?🤔

[@cathybaldry7822]

Jeb is very pretty

[@erinh.1577]

Absolutely ❤ love your video's!! Jeb has beautiful feet 😍

[@marcusweaver9728]

Just because his name is Jeb you k ow he’s not a race horse. Just a regular dude.

[@katjabemmann358]

Der strahl ist genauso hoch wie das Hufeisen, das drückt doch gleich wieder!

[@Lisser81]

Horsey pedicure!!

[@thetataliciouschannel2269]

I think black feet are better than white feet!

Dude give him some Jordan’s

Jeb is so beautiful 🩷

[@katjabemmann358]

Täglich Hufe reinigen kennt ihr scheinbar überhaupt nicht.
