Keep at it. If u really want to b a real farrier, u will b working under him for many many years. Dont get impatient & jump out on ur own too soon. This has happened many times to us & out of the dozens my husband has tried to train only 1 could b considered a Journeyman level farrier. It's a long road & will break ur back but it's a dying art & needs to b preserved.

I LOVE Friesians, as they're solid black, gorgeous like this girl, with the exception of the little tell-tale bit of white mark on her forehead, so I wonder if she's part Friesian, since they're larger than Quarter horses, are intelligent, patient for Vet & Farrier. Friesians are considered "bomb proof" & Excell at Equestrian, Dressage, Drafting, or just plain old trail riding. So yeah, that's probably why she's good as gold, although I don't see the characteristics 'feathers' on her quarters, (maybe shaved to maintain the clean outline look needed for their tasks) which is why I'm thinking 'part' Friesian. Lovely horse.😍

Actually, it is the back muscles that do the most work. Try squeezing someones leg between you knees when the are trying to pull it away or leaning on you. Most of the horses lean on you to compensate for the leg being off the ground. Your back now has to hold up at least 1/4 of the horses weight, and squeeze your knees together, while bent in a half crouch. You don't want to wrestle a farrier, he has strong muscles in places you don't even have.

It would be interesting to invent some type of belt sander to trim the hooves. We have the angle grinder and the snips and the files etc. but it seems to me using a best sander would some industrial strength sand paper would make a nice flat surface. The ideal situation would be to raise the animal up in the air using a contraption similar to an car engine lift, then place the hoof on the best sander. I am not a farrier and this might already be available and might not work but my mind is always thinking of ways to build a better mouse trap. I have no idea if it would be better.
