Trimming Overgrown Hooves On A Rescue Pony ( I Also Get Kicked)

[@HoneebunnySapphire]

He was just like "oh, you want to see my hoof? Here, have a closer look!" I'm sure he feels much better after you're done, though!

[@LuckySketches]

You know you're in the UK when you hear someone say "the sunshine hasn't let up" instead of "it hasn't rained in a while."

[@suellenspencer-eb2nv]

You're so gentle. Looks very nice. Lucky to have new owners caring well for him.

[@Peterthefarrier]

He is very lucky he has found a new home that will look after him the way he deserves.

[@morgancalvi6675]

Heavy animals should have a leg stand...that's a LOT of weight to just hold on 3 legs. That may be why he gets kicked...lol.

[@lindamyers6172]

I love it that you really loves horses and taking care of their hooves. It's refreshing to see a Farrier that actually introduces the horse. You really are good person.

[@JenniferThacker1969]

Peter, you are so kind and caring when working with these rescues. I love that you take your time with them. Who knows what kind of treatment theyve received before they were rescued! Glad you and your camera weren't hurt!!! Stay blessed!!! 💖🤗🙏🏻

[@Peterthefarrier]

Thank you Jennifer. He is a kind pony I can tell he is just unsure about the situation. He will get better and understand more with time.

[@marybrinker1333]

Love watching you!! I'm learning to do my own because I can't get anyone to trim regularly and or properly. PS I'm 74yrs old.

[@mariestubbs4606]

Great trim Peter looks like he needed that bless him and he seems to be in good hands now.

[@Peterthefarrier]

Thank you Marie. He is in good hands now with his new owner.

[@morgancalvi6675]

@@Peterthefarrier do you believe trimming too much actually harms the foot? Please educate me.

[@GiraffeFlavored]

@@morgancalvi6675 What do you mean by this?? If someone trims too deeply and damages the sensitive tissues, of course that'll harm the horse. Just like trimming our fingernails, if you cut too short and damage your skin/the nailbed, of course that hurts! If someone trims the foot poorly and makes it so the hoof has bad geometry, that can harm the hoof and cause further damage down the road, it can cause cracks and infections and cause ligament and tendon problems in the horse. There's all sorts of different ways bad hoof geometry can make an animal lame. Frequent, light trimmings are not necessarily more or less harmful than comparatively less frequent trimmings as long as the hoof is well maintained, the hoof doesn't get too overgrown between trims, the live tissue isn't damaged, and the hoof stays in good geometry so as to not cause injury to the hoof or the horse.

[@cleopatracatra2097]

I never would have thought that horses can get sunburn! Glad he's been rescued and well taken care of now!

[@Peterthefarrier]

I think it’s probably been left out in a field with not a lot of shelter and shade and with the weather here in the UK being hotter than normal it’s developed sunburn and hasn’t been treated.

[@classicambo9781]

They can develop photosensitivity reactions when on certain pastures too - typically worse on white skin. Feeding a toxin binder and keeping on good pasture often resolves 'sunburn' issues on horses (with exception of pigmentless horses)

[@WendyLemontree]

Horses with pink skin anywhere (and especially white and grey horses) also get melanoma when they get older. I used to breed goats and I wouldn't buy any Saanens that had pink instead of tan skin because it's the same thing. I'm pink skinned myself and have some UV damage to my retinas from too much sun exposure. I was always good about sunblock, but not hats and sunglasses. People who have pink nosed horses usually put zinc diaper cream on their noses because it's cheaper and doesn't need to be reapplied as often as actual sunblock. And they make sun blankets for pink skinned white/grey horses.

[@cleopatracatra2097]

@@WendyLemontree Who knew? I learned something new here--thanks!

[@birdlover7690]

I have heard of light skinned/coated horses getting sunburn. Who would have thought. It seems all our pale skinned pets can be prone to it

[@AdmiralStoicRum]

Oh man I bet you once you let him take one round of circles on his walk he probably said Oh man it doesn't hurt to walk anymore. This is a lot more comfortable

I used to think cow hoof care was a brilliant skill but farriers shoeing and maintaining horse hooves is out of this world Great video as always and100% respect to ROLO Hes ready for the Grand National now 😎

[@bradgray5997]

Watching horse and cow trimming videos are really educational and the trimmers treat these animals very well and are so kind

[@morgancalvi6675]

But trimming a lot off a horse is detrimental to him and may cause heels and hooves to collapse. Especially with collapsed heels.

[@bradgray5997]

@@morgancalvi6675 that’s true

[@patpierce4854]

What I always appreciate, is your ability to visualize what needs to be removed and what needs to remain - while looking at the side of the foot the rest of us rarely get to see! Thank you for being patient with him. At least he isn’t leaning on you, that I can see from what you have filmed.

[@lynnesaro7772]

Great job Peter. The little guy learned that you cared and went helping him. Thank you for another educational video.

[@marciam6224]

It is so nice to see someone who knows what they are doing and are compassionate to the suffering the animal has gone through. It's better than the oriental videos where they chop at the hoof and yank on their legs to keep them still and swat them with ropes to get them to go into a holding area. I subscribed to your channel.

[@joseeallyn9950]

My young friend in France has two horses (I think they are her babies really!) and she doesn't shoe them because the town is very hilly and they get a better grip that way. They are very clever and know if I am home and refuse to leave until I come down with a carrot for them. They would like to come in the house, but there is a staircase that I do not think they could manage... but you never know! She doesn't use a bit either which terrifies people who ride with her! Horses are so sensible, it is heartbreaking that they don't always get the best care.

[@jeannevera8672]

You are the best when it comes to caring for horses, you are kind and I love the way you take your time at the end and polish the hooves. One thing I do not understand is why dont you put sometjing soft on the top of your hoof stand. The only thing you have is the open metal post? That is probably why they pull back off when b you try to sand the hoof

[@carpathianken]

The top of his hoof stand is soft. You can see clearly at 3:47 how the aluminium edges of his hoof stand have been softened off. Horses hooves aren't like ours on the ground surface. They have an outer layer of non sensitive sole that skilled farriers like Peter leave intact for protection. That pony pulls his foot away because he's young (2 years old) & he fidgets . He's been neglected too so he probably hasn't had much handling, let alone farrier work done on him.
