[@miketroutman7365]

Max is a big old strong boy. I’d need a nap after working on him. Great job Peter. Always enjoy watching your videos and your kind heart.

[@jemreandeau3583]

I love these giant horses, they are just amazing. ❤

[@mariestubbs4606]

Wow there not hooves there plates but what a gorgeous gentle Max n what a work out for you Peter, great vid

[@Peterthefarrier]

Thank you Marie. They are massive hooves. He really did give me a work out today 😂.

[@ryanawilson8549]

​@Peterthefarrier was kinda funny. He moved and you had no choice but to hold on for dear life bc no way you could stop him.

[@Peterthefarrier]

That is most of my life to be honest 😂

[@noradono819]

What a handsome and gentle boy is Max! Wow those huge feet! He is absolutely adorable and so friendly. His hooves all trimmed up! Thank you for the video Peter. Wish you all the best.😀

[@Peterthefarrier]

He is a big lad. thank you appreciate it 😊

[@SharonRaeRyan]

He's so cute! I love how he leans down to check out how it's going.

[@randilund2558]

Yes!❤ Max is both cute and majestic ❤😊 Greetings from Denmark 🇩🇰

That last picture of his hoof next to the ponies hoof was AMAZING!

Thank you 😊.

Max seems a bit mischievous! Thanks for sharing.

[@Peterthefarrier]

Thank you 😊. I think he was just a bit that way today. We could tell as soon as they got him out of the stable 😂.

[@bobbibuttons8730]

My god Peter, how on earth do you manage to hold a massive hoof like that between your thighs. You must be able to crush a walnut between them they are so strong. He’s a big lad. I’ve a fondness fir big draft horses. My grandad worked in a brewery and the horses were his responsibility. He passed when I was only 7 but I remember sitting on his knee since I was a wee lassie and he’d tell me all the stories about the horses. He loved them so much

[@suellenspencer-eb2nv]

Max sure got wiggling alot.always enjoy your videos. Have a peaceful weekend. ❤❤❤

[@Peterthefarrier]

Thank you Suellen 😊. Hope you have a great weekend.

[@williambrake1784]

Hello Peter. I love this horse. Big fellow but seems to have a gentle personality. I’m sure you are exhausted after the work.I really do enjoy the explanation when you do the trims. Max even took a look to see how his newly trimmed hooves look. Hope you are able to rest and recover. Best wishes to you and the family!

[@FITZIEBLUE]

You guys (experienced, empathetic farriers) are worth their weight in gold.

[@kimberlyrivard6945]

Job well done. The horse was so looking at his hoofs to see what you were doing. 😊

[@anothergirlgamer8872]

Nice to see max again. ❤ he’s stunning but those feet are definitely a workout 😂😂 great job Peter hope all is well with you 😊

[@Peterthefarrier]

Thank you 😊. He is definitely a work out 😂. We are all good here got a holiday booked with the family for April.

[@anothergirlgamer8872]

Yay that’s great where are u off to? How long for? Bet your little boy is excited 😊

[@Peterthefarrier]

Will be good for you to have some family time. Not jealous at all honestly 😂

might have to show you all on a video. Not trying to make you jealous 😂

I love his big sigh at the end when you showed his finished hoof. 👍🐴

What a workout that Max gave you. Thank you for sharing.

[@Peterthefarrier]

Thank you 😊. Glad they are not all as big as him 😂

[@Sharon-bo2se]

Always good to see Max.

[@traceyrossberg4640]

Geez! Hold on Peter! Max is one very strong boy, wow! The size of his hooves compared to the pony's, is incredible, but, I have been told they are gentle giants, beautiful horse! Thank you Peter, that was fun to watch, take care.👍💙🐎

[@charlieschmalenbach1969]

What an absolute gorgeous boy Max is. I bet you were exhausted after finishing his hooves!

[@bandersnatch2874]

Check out the Dymondback Cody James rasps. They're expensive, but they last, stay sharp as heck, and don't clog as easily as the conventional ones.

[@reginecooper-king3190]

[@irishlad8797]

Class video hes a gentle giant is max He could put u clean out into the next farm if he wanted He definitely senses your calm demeanor for sure His hoofs remind me of alan partridge's extra large carvery plate that he keeps in his laptop bag 😂🎉

[@DavoShed]

I think it just tickles 🤠. He looks like a very nice horse. That hoof made your nippers look like a toy. I’m not a farrier but I’m an old school Fitter Machinist. We used to have a thing called a “File Card” to clean crap out of a files teeth. You just brush across the teeth and it removes the crap. It’s like a short flat wire brush but meant for the purpose. We also used to fill the file up with something else like chalk so the shavings wouldn’t stick. 🤠

[@darrenmaw3830]

Great video, that was one big set of feet. Nice to see max being interested in what you are doing?

[@kayBTR]

So glad to see a new Video from you!

[@vlwindham]

Love your videos! You’re very good and so kind!

[@btcrazee1]

What a beauty he is! Good job.

[@joyballard4418]

What a sweet and beautiful horse.

[@Peterthefarrier]

He definitely is. Just a bit mischievous 😂

[@dshe8637]

It's normal nowadays to file the hoof wall, but it removes the outer waxy, dense layer of the hoof - the stratum tectorum. A better way might be to leave it in place. I think there was a trend towards removing it to avoid 'hoof flares', but width of hoof isn't an issue that causes problems. In wetter climates, removing the outer layer below the periople doesn't make a difference to moisture in the wall, but in dryer places, the hoof needs that protection to prevent cracks.

[@msla5274]

Max certainly is a beautiful boy! I have noticed that many of the horses you work on do not wear shoes. Is that common in the UK?

[@Peterthefarrier]

I do a good mix of shoeing and trimming. It just seems people like the trimming videos. If you guys want to see more shoeing videos just let me know 😊

Massive hoof, good job

[@Peterthefarrier]

Thank you 😊 he really does have some big hoofs especially when you compare them to a pony 😂

[@RafaelaFerguson]

Peter, great job, but why didn’t you clean up the commitures (sp ?) on the first hoof? They looked dirty to me?

[@stracepipe]

I'm just astonished that you don't have a knackered back or repetitive strain injury in your hands and wrists. It looks an absolutely grueling job.

[@Peterthefarrier]

Sometimes I don’t feel the best especially if I have had a lot of uncooperative horses. But I love the job 😊

Is this the same horse that had those extremely overgrown feet like 2 years ago?

[@aaronjohn6586]

Must be the rasp which is concerning as mine don't clog like that. Unless it was because the hooves were wet and that caused the shavings to stick.

[@Peterthefarrier]

Appreciate the comment. Unfortunately where I am it is wet weather most of the year around 😂. Maybe that is why.

[@leelindsay5618]

Get the owner to help you with a lick - if he is taking his foot (and you) away, the owner can take the lick away. If he gives you his foot, he can have the lick until it's done. Giving him a sweet experience as he gets his toes done and making your job a little nicer(easier).

[@leelindsay5618]

Check out Steve Young Horsemanship channel for how to do the lick trick (just passing along good info here).

[@jillthompson8146]

He doesn't like licks

[@dshe8637]

That's only for horses that are fearful or completely unused to having their feet treated. This is a different situation. This is a happy, fidgety horse.
