Why do we have to trim them? What happens to wild horses feet?
@Groundedsquirrel2 ай бұрын
Hi, as a horse enthusiast who stumbled upon this video, I’ve learned along the way that wild horses travel 20-40 miles a day. Their hooves grow at a rate perfect for this “natural nail file” of the rough surfaces they traverse. Also if wild horses have poor hooves, they can’t keep up… so they leave the gene pool. Hope that is helpful.

@mwamwa348814 күн бұрын
I have an amazing ferrier but he definitely isn't trimming my horses for barefoot cause I've noticed their feet are really sensitive so I'm assuming this is for sure a over trim problem. I want to take care of them myself bc I'm the one seeing their discomfort and on hand to help them if necessary

What a great explanation! Although I have to ask, you kept saying "45". Were you talking about a 45 degree bevel all the way around the hoof or 45 degree walls? Also, you specifically said not to take your nippers into the white line. Is that so the frog and white line can be flat? Would excess white line be taken down with the rasp since it's not getting trimmed? And why don't you want to get too carried away with the bars? Wouldn't leaving them too long cause bruising? How do you know when they're short enough? I've been having problems with my mare so I'm trying to learn as much as I can. Thank you so much!

This same guy has another video where he uses a torch to burn the sole, then cuts it out hollow, because he says there cannot be sole pressure. A commenter said if your horse has a lot of built up sole and you hack it out the horse can go "dead lame". Other people say you cannot achieve concavity in a horse's foot by trimming. Use common sense. If the hoof walls are so long that your horse is standing on them and nothing else, trim them down even with or close to even with the sole and round off the sharp edges. Clean out the foot and trim the frog to be about the same height as the walls. Trim the bars to a normal shape with your knife. You cannot know the palmar angle without an x ray. But your goal should be that the hoof angle is close to the pastern angle, and the heel angle will likely be a bit less but similar. A bad smell is usually a sign of thrush. I have seen quite a few horses made lame by over trimming, none by not trimming quite enough.
@kota99063 жыл бұрын
@@lareemcra347 As long as there's a huge crack between the heel bulbs, there is a high chance of things getting "clogged" with bacteria growing and causing thrush, on top of the bad smell. A healthy horse should never get so long that they're standing on wall and nothing else because walking around will wear them down, plus that would be very hard (if not impossible) to nail to. What is a "normal shape" for the bars to be? My horse's feet lie so much, it looks like you're taking live sole but it's actually toe. I've noticed a trend in farriers only looking at the horse's sole, not checking the angles and then saying "my tools cannot physically get in there to take more down", even though I've watched barefoot people trim without a problem. I've met many horses who are bruising terribly and even a few of them, abscessing because of how long "professionals" have let them grow.

I’ve taken and taught 5 people to shoe horses. 4 of them straight out of shoeing schools and ever one of them had a tendency to leave the foot high on the outside. My shoeing technique calls for just the opposite. I want my horses left a little high on the inside unless? If you have seen as many feet that I have you can be five feet away and tell what a person is doing with that foot.
