You Won’t Believe How Much Hoof I Had To Cut Away On This Trim (Hoof Restoration)

[@TK-kf8zc]

I love that you introduce the horses.

[@Peterthefarrier]

Well you need to see him before I trim him 😊.

[@diannawalker758]

I was going to say the same thing.

[@DanielLei-f9k]

When I do a horse with that much hair I used my daughter's scrunchie to keep the hair out of the way. Works great. Like your videos.

[@juliewierson6458]

Does your daughter know? Hope you don’t give them back. Just teasing.

[@mickimac70]

I use bandages to keep all the feather out of the way. Makes the do much easier with no hair getting in the way

[@sidilicious11]

I love the big, wide frogs on draft types.

[@tracyblack1509]

Nice work, I wish you could be my farrier in the USA. Farrier’s here, won’t do drafts/cobs/gypsies unless the feather is all out of the way by us, the owners. I barely get the center sulcus trimmed away and definitely don’t get a polish. I would like the ergot trimmed, do you include that service in the trim appt.?

[@moehoward01]

I've seen other farriers use plastic wrap to hold back the hair.

[@johnkinnane547]

G’day Pete and greetings from Tasmania Australia 🇦🇺 you have a terrific channel It’s lovely how you always introduce the horse and you explain what you are about to do to the hoof. You have a terrific interaction with these beautiful horses, I’m in my late sixties and have never seen what a fairer does I have subscribed and it’s pleasure watching you Peter take care kind regards John

[@Peterthefarrier]

Thank you John 😊. I really appreciate the support and glad you enjoyed the video. Have a great day.

[@cinderblock2289]

Peter, I was a bit shocked 😮 at how much needed to come off. It truly was deceiving. Then the collection of discards 😆 Great job‼️

[@Peterthefarrier]

Thank you😊.They really are deceiving feet. To look at them you wouldn’t think there was that much hoof on.

[@anothergirlgamer8872]

Removed said object 😂😂😂 that tickled me 😂 great positioning of the rasp haha. Wow that’s alot of cuttings 😊amazing video as always have a great weekend 🎉

[@Peterthefarrier]

Thank you 😊. He was enjoying his trim 😂

[@anothergirlgamer8872]

That’s one way to put it 😂😂

[@jeno264]

😂😂😂🤣 omgoodness I nearly fell off my chair!

[@Flying0Dismount]

"Hung like a rasp" doesn't have the same ring to it...😅

[@williecosgrove]

1,41 ??? Is it Halloween over there ??? Can hear all the Witches Plotting in the Background

[@DeeE101]

Great video Peter, I was wondering how long was it since his last hood trimming?

[@Peterthefarrier]

Thank you 😊. He had gone 7 weeks. He just grows massive amounts of hoof.

[@suellenspencer-eb2nv]

Love this video. You always put the comfort of the horse first. ❤❤❤ Simon is a handsome boy. Thank you 😊

[@noradono819]

What a gentle boy. Such rich feathers. You do a fantastic job Peter as always. Hope you had a great Easter with your family. Enjoyed watching your video. Wush you all the best.😀

[@DubiousFeline]

Peter, I must confess, horses terrify me. That being said, I am totally fascinated watching you trim their hooves.❤

[@MissLady-pq4hc]

Great video, love watching you work.🐴👍🏼

[@Peterthefarrier]

Thank you 😊

[@trumanhw]

What an INCREDIBLY WELL behaved horse. Or just really easy going. You didn't have to pick his hoof up once. Crazy. Nice looking work, too.

[@RafaelaFerguson]

Very nice job Peter on that hoof. It looked beautiful at the end and much more comfortable for the Simon. Well done!! ❤❤❤❤

[@patpierce4854]

I can imagine the party at the barn, when the resident puppers found all those tasty trimmings!

[@kellysnover1852]

“Tonight, we eat like kings!!” -the first dog to all the other dogs when they discovered the trimmings

[@karenfelton4462]

Great 👍

[@Peterthefarrier]

Thank you 😊

[@jjfaris]

Thank you, Peter You got yourself a youngster today in six year old Simon

[@lynnesaro7772]

HI Peter, thank you for showing us how you sharpen your hoof knife. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us. I learn from each of your videos. Filming, lighting and audio is perfect. The horses are always comfortable with you showing the care you take in your work.

[@Frida3728]

Are both sides of the knife sharpened or only one side? Great video. Thank you

[@jenniferlehman326]

Peter, i hope you had a great Easter!! You really brpught those heels back and his feet gathered together and under him properly again. Great job, Peter!!! Your friend, the Retired Paramedic and Horse Trainer in Ontario, Canada, Jenn 💖 🇨🇦

[@Peterthefarrier]

Thank you 😊. Can you believe that was 7 weeks of growth 😂.

[@jenniferlehman326]

@@Peterthefarrier 7 weeks??. He grows hoof fast in Spring and Summer then. Wow!! Great trim! I loved when you picked up the piece you had nipped off and showed us. I knew be was forward on his heels, just by looking at the solar plane of his hoof, but I didn't realize that was only 7 weeks of growth!! Have a great weekend, Peter. My 3 come in this weekend for their summer training. The 2 stud colts I had last year, and a Newmar. She has to be started from the ground up, while I'll just do a quick refresher with the boys and be back in the saddle by mid April with them. They start cavelletti and small jumps and tons of gridwork this year. Might even have them out to a few local shows with the owners. But nothing over 60 cm. by then. Jenn 💖

[@MyZxcvb12]

Can you see the difference in the horse afterwards? Like, they would say thats so much, better, thanks, mate 👍 😊

[@lindaallen78]

Brilliant job as usual Peter. You always go the extra mile and I am so pleased that you are gaining more subscribers. The knife sharpening section was a bonus. Simon, I am sure, was well pleased with his pedicure. He was a very good boy. 😊

[@Silvio.S.Arruda0042]

Congratulations on your excellent work

[@Peterthefarrier]

Thank you 😊

[@madeleinekarlssonbengtsson]

That was a lot, have a nice weekend.

[@Peterthefarrier]

It definitely was a lot of hoof. I am with the family this weekend so I am looking forward to it 😊. Hope you have a great weekend as well.

[@kidzmaniagamez7043]

Great video Peter

[@Peterthefarrier]

Thank you 😊

[@tamifraser5902]

What a lovely Cob. He is definitely more comfortable now.

[@miamyos]

The horse had a pretty good-looking foot despite having been too long for a while. It seems that some horses get distortions quicker than others. Great job giving that horse better feet, they looked really nice when you were finished!

[@TheShootinStar]

Beautiful job, as always. He's quite a beautiful horse.

[@Peterthefarrier]

Thank you 😊. He definitely is a nice looking cob.

[@chriscaspian2280]

Lovely job Peter

[@Peterthefarrier]

Thank you 😊

[@snowyherge1549]

Very good job - new to your channel but enjoying your videos!

[@charlotteh7766]

Nice job! You can also use a pair of women's tights to hold the feather, cut off the foot and drag over the hoof!

[@nancyoffenhiser4916]

What a beautiful job! He must have been comfortable with you to reveal himself!!😂😂😂

[@TheHarper11]

I'm sure Simon feels much better. That's a lot of work! Well done

[@Peterthefarrier]

He is ready for the weekend now with his new hooves. Thank you 😊

[@dshe8637]

Ha ha funny that you had to block him being 'happy and relaxed'😂

[@cleopatracatra2097]

Thanks for clarifying what he was referring to! It went right over my head and I had to replay the video!

[@christineayriss2329]

I like your work, especially with the feathers.

[@Peterthefarrier]

Thank you 😊

[@ArtisticEndeavors]

A thank you to Peter and a comment for the algorithm ✌🏻🎨☕️

[@williambrake1784]

Very deceiving at first glance. Hooves look good but when you show us the heels then you realize how much needs taken off.Another great video Peter. Have a great weekend !!

[@jemreandeau3583]

I love your compassionate way of caring for the horses, you are so kind to accommodate their preferences. ❤

[@mariestubbs4606]

Well Simon deffo needed his hooves trimming Peter and he stood well bless him , great vid and hope the family are all ok ..

[@RangerMelB]

YT does seem to have an issue with actual reality at times. Ah well, glad the little guy was so comfy while you were working.

[@randybutler4772]

So well done. Thank you for sharing.🐴

[@untbunny]

I enjoy your videos immensely. The knife sharpening portion was fascinating.

[@btcrazee1]

I love the Cobbs! He is just gorgeous.

[@archiecat4182]

Always enjoy your videos and the commentary as you work. 😊

[@IconixBeauty]

Immaculate work! When I compare your work to the U.S. farriers they just look like complete bodge artists. What a wonderful tidy waste pile! Congratulations on your mastery.

[@crackerjack3359]

Thanks for the part showing the sharpening of the knife. In fact, thanks for the video.

[@trumanhw]

That's a terrible method for sharpening that knife. Have you tried using a grinding wheel ..? Or getting good stones: Kuromaku (Shapton Pro) or Naniwa Chosera

[@NatalieGermanio]

Great video! Thank you for showing the precious horse at the end as well as the shot of the trimmed off hoofs. Love it!

[@rollingcoal9500]

Love this channel

[@Wolfinger1935]

Farriers must have insane forearm muscles. That all looks so difficult. My back hurts just watching.

[@dougwilliams8602]

👍

[@damianwright3690]

On the hoof, after nipping the outer layer of hoof, colour was showing in from about 7 o'clock through to about 8 o'clock, and it appeared pink. Was that natural colouration within the keratin, or was it the sign of blood supply / nail bed extending down? Essentially, what was it? Thank you from Not-a-horse-guy (but for some reason I really like farrier videos).

[@featheramericangoodeagle]

As you know, there is a blood ring in a horse's hoof on a full moon. Did you trim horse's hooves on the recent eclipse on 4-8-24? Was there a blood ring?

[@KC-pc8zq]

Great job! I have three questions 1. Do horses like getting this done? 2. Is this expensive to get done? 3. How often should you get this done ? 😀

[@susanstein6604]

The horse was so well behaved. You knew just what he needed.

[@EastWestMangi]

May be give hair above the hoof a cut...makes the hoof trim easier. I enjoyed watching!

[@lynnkitty59]

Enjoy watching you trimming the hoof... without listening to all the people chatting in the background... especially the kid's

[@bkalldaybkallday8296]

Karen

[@beckypeters5449]

It is a working farm

[@sarahconnor4984]

Amazing! How do you know when to stop cutting the sole?? looks like all white white white and I can't see a difference!

[@rodkurtz2273]

Peter. My farrier never trims the frog. I was wondering how you know how much to trim off on the frog? Is it necessary? Are horses are 100% barefoot no shoes. Thanks

[@andrewallason4530]

I think this is the equivalent of ‘slamming’ a street car. Lower ride height for better handling and cornering! Ufortunately Simon’s rider will need to get new steel-cap riding boots to protect their toes.

[@Miya2306]

It’s a pedicure.. file, brush and polished 😄😄😄

[@UhtredRagnarsson1949]

An elastic stocking wouldn't be a bad idea to keep all that hair under control. 💥💥👍👍💥💥

[@forbezilla]

I don’t know much about horses, but where is the blood supply? I noticed there were pinker parts of the hoof and wasn’t sure if that was close to the blood supply or a a bruise or if that’s what the health hoof horn looks like

[@aspiringastronaut9992]

Does a horse ever fall over during work like this…like lose balance and fall?

[@AL-lz1hb]

So many trimmings and no doggies? Or did we miss them sneaking in for a nibble? Nice trim BTW.

[@tinydancer7426]

How often do you sharpen those knives? How long does a knife last? It would be interesting to see the knife you sharpened in today's video next to a new knife.

[@dragonwatcher5634]

I was wondering about that discolored part of that hoof when you nipped off that chunk

[@sallyc2593]

lol you can start building a new horse from the bottom up with those clippings!

[@tommywolford4922]

Watching these makes me wonder how sharp their tools are, and how often they have to sharpen them. They glide sometimes through the thickest of hooves.

[@drummersagainstitk]

I'm freakishly into this sht right now.

[@robinlarge1630]

What a great job! What the hell have I been doing all my life ? 🤷🏼‍♂️

[@annastrand5144]

It's a shame he got so long. It seems he stands well for you, so it wasn't because of a behavioral issue.

[@sjquaid1]

Are youbusing a sanding block to buff the hoof?

[@juliapeh6211]

Where in UK do you come from, Peter the farrier?

[@dorothy7743]

Wow! I imagine the horse feels better after your trimming.

[@RobertClolery]

Reminds me of working on my grandmother's toe nails long ago.

[@emmawilde152]

Cut the toe out of some tube socks. Then you can put on the hoof and pull it up to keep the feathers out of the way.

[@ritavalade7049]

How you do that without pulling out the long hair.. amazing…

[@delinquentinparadise]

Must be bonfire night ? Guys everywhere.

[@donaldbarnes8919]

At the end you showed six trims. I didn't notice that the horse had two more feet.

[@markkile8215]

Why don’t you trim the hair back 1st ?

[@deselby6669]

Just great to see you Peter..You give a lift to the soul..

[@kennethgrantham5092]

Have you ever accidentally removed too much?

[@DarkestFinale]

What do you brush onto the tops of the hooves? Is it oil of some kind?

[@mikemassey1405]

Appears average length of hoof for little wear.

[@ILHillbilly67]

Well at least it grew flat not warped….it was like a set of platform boots

[@Skoora]

Amazing how patient the horse is.

[@tyhroneskyles4873]

Was that a hoof grease or a hoof sealer you put on his hooves?

[@blindandwatching]

That's one way to get your nails done.

[@alistairmcgregor8820]

I think his feet need a haircut....

[@joyfulthings1]

Do you ever tape back their feathers?

[@susandolan9543]

Did you say SIX MONTH old Cob, or SIX YEAR old cob. Gypsy Cobs stand much taller than this animal does. Is it a Gypsy Pony Cob?

[@gracedyson8228]

Simons owner here. He's 6 years old. He's a "mini cob"so stands at 13.2 😊

[@TheHojirt]

Do wild horses have hoof problems ?

[@chiane1968]

How does he still have all his fingers?

[@JayRioLasRocas]

I am the only one who believes you

[@sheilaklerks1681]

Saran wrap or vet wrap that hair out of the way lol

[@smsucks7174]

Trim your thumb nails a bit 👍🏻

[@kayBTR]

You do outstanding work!

[@samgeller1967]

A nice lot of dog chews there

[@tamijacks686]

Why are shoes burnt in/on?

[@kimmathis694]

Another nice Kobe Peter!!
