I’m so happy you featured the way some farriers go at the frog. I wince every time I see that. My farrier doesn’t pare down the frog either. Could you comment on soaking horses feet before the farrier arrives? Is it absolutely necessary or do you guys want to see the every day condition of the foot so certain things can be determined?
My farrier always based it on the ground conditions the week b4 the trim. Hot n dry weather, soak em. Cold n wet, leave as is. That was UK guidance tho, might be diff over the pond lol
Nice how you built a shoe that allows that horse to subtly shift his weight to find the most comfortable position. I hope you are finding comfort and fast healing for your own right hand and wrist.
I was shocked when I watched another farrier take the frog down so far. I'd never seen that before. Thanks for pointing out that it is not a good practice.
That's a nice Scott anvil. Is that a 250 lb one, and how do you like it? Also, that is the most simple and easiest way I ever seen someone explain the soup bowl shoe. Thanks!
A beautiful piece of work, I hope the horse improves with custom made shoes to help. When I watch farriers I worry for the strains their bodies take, backs, wrists, shoulders, it's got to be one of the hardest jobs there is. All the hammering must be a killer for RSI. Get those apprentices to do the hammering for the shoes so you give your wrist a break and chance to recover.
Horses really need to be looked at all the time. I mean their feet should be at least looked at once a week or every ten days? Its expensive to have horses but they sure can be a lot of enjoyment!
I was always told never mess with a horses frog the amount of videos I've seen that hack into it is crazy it's like cutting away your instep on your foot I do get some horses have problems but mostly leave it alone thankyou for reaffirming this
Legit question: Why do horse farriers use 'oldschool' materials like a foot stand and (moslty) handtools while cow trimmers have shoots that lift the cow up and pick up their feet for them. Is there a reason why this is not preferred for horses? This 'oldschool' way seems way harder on your back and knees so i suspect there is a reason it hasnt changed. Would like to know the benefits. Thanks
Hi, horse owner here! No, that would be a very bad idea. Hoof care is VITAL in keeping a healthy horse, therefore if you have a horse, having a farrier come out to check on your horse is just as important as a wellness check with a vet. Every horse has its own specific needs, and with having a good farrier, said farrier is going to be able to help you figure out what is best for your horse. Horses are big expensive animals, and if you want to keep a horse happy and healthy... you are most likely going to spending a decent amount of money to pay for it. My advice for this would be, if you can't afford to properly care for an animal, ESPECIALLY an animal as outrageously expensive to own as a horse, then you should reconsider getting that animal.

I like what you said about the frog. I always thought other guys spend too much time on the frog. I'm no ferrier but what you said makes sense.
I am always Impressed at your professional work. Beautiful job! 👍💯

Yeah, I guess like most things, it's about comfort and functionality. Good job!👍👍👍🐴🐴🐴
Thanks for the comment on the frog. As someone who rides in the mountains, I am always shocked when I see videos where the frog is whittled away.
Thanks for your educational resource ❤
THAT LOOKS SO MUCH BETTER AND I KNOW THE HORSE CAN TELL A DIFGFERENCE.
Again I learned something new!! 👍👍👍 Thank you!!!

Amazing work 👏🏻✨🔥✨

Lovely work! Thanks for explaining the shoe design.
Post more often please.
Great job again. The narration is always a big plus
You have amazingly calm horses. Do they know that you are helpong them I wonder....
You are Rock Star in the world of horses!

More like monthly but theyre definitely expensive
Such empty. I've never heard the workshop so quiet. It's really zen.
That is truly a beautiful hoof. Thank you for sharing.🐴
The horsie looks so happy at the end. Cute
New shoe 👞 very nice, I'm sure that horse will appreciate it 🐎
Its nice to see a horse thats well taken care of
Thank you…great video 😊
Nicely done ❤
New Anvil?
Hope your wrist recovers soon
Nice set of boots 👍
I think it would be really wonderful if you were able to show us these horses' foot radiographs if they have any!
Hope your right wrist heals soon. Splints are a drag.

Wish you guys were closer
That horse 🗿
Are the horses trained to take a shoe, or do they like getting their hoofs worked on?
Eye protection!!!

Probably because horses would be in danger if they panicked in one of those
Is it a good idea for a horse owner who cannot afford a farrier to just file the hoof once a week?
Something tells me no

que ves en el casco para poner una herradura redonda?
Why is it called the frog?
I always believed that shoe-less was best unless correcting an issue. I don't think I've heard you address this?
Helps but doesn’t fix forever problem sorry for the horse
First! 🧲🐴🧲
1:20 That 'scar' on the inside of the right leg, what is it called? Do all horses have that?
His chestnut?
@@cygnata yes!! didn't know they are called that!
@@raccontourahara7868those aren't scars. The Chestnut is a callus that acts like a finger print. No two are exactly the same.
