I love when you show both feet, Caleb!! It's a lot more comprehensive as to what you're doing and why, then when you only show one foot being done. Thank you!! I hope you have a great weekend! Your friend, the Retired Paramedic and Horse Trainer in Ontario, Canada, Jenn 💖 🇨🇦
Thanks Caleb.... Haven't seen the DIM used before nor that style of shoe.. Very interesting....will be good to see how she's doing on her next reset.... 🤠🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🤠
I love your videos above all other farrier vlogers I’ve seen. If I could ask for anything else from your videos it would be if you could show the horse travel before and after you trim/shoe them, especially with complicated jobs? Otherwise I always look forward to seeing more from you!❤
I like videos where the artist doesn’t defend himself or try to preempt criticisms. I think responding to those mean comments is unnecessary. We are watching you because we like the way you do it. I like your skill. Thank you! Best wishes on your channel. I subscribed.
A neck like that is also an indication of possible laminitis coming up in the hooves, it’s all down to proteins. Akhal-teke have a lovely metallic looking coat
I had one of those days yesterday, when everything that could go wrong did, very frustrating, Pearl is beautiful, excellent job as always Caleb, thank you very much for posting, love your videos, take care.👍💙🐎
Thank you so much, that was all fascinating. Can you say what is it about the neck which tells you she might be foundered? Is it the way the muscles build up because she has to compensate for something happening in the foot?
If you look at a horse's neck, the top line should be relatively straight from the ears to just before the withers (top of shoulders). Her neck is "crested" or bowed upward. Hope this helps.
Having never owned a foundered horse, I can't speak from personal experience, but my understanding of the condition is that it is an inflammation in the lamini holding the hoof wall to the foot causing them to begin to separate. She does show a bit of wedge at the front, where the lamini have been stretched out - you can also see it in an increase in thickness of the white line towards the front of the hoof. You do need to keep as much sole as you can at the of the hoof to protect the coffin bone but you also need to decrease pressure on the front lamini. Some type of rocker shoe or other shoe( as a big believer that bare foot is better, I'm not familiar with all the shoes available, but then, I don't compete in endurance either) that decreases the leverage on the front lamini as the foot rolls forward might help restore the lamini, especially in mild cases of founder caught early and aggressively treated.
I have a foundered mini and she has rotation. Her laminitis is completely healed but of course the coffin bone stays where it rotated to. My Ferrier squares the front toes for roll over. She is a happy little mover these days.
@@sassy6292😮 you do know Secretariat is got put down because of laminitis in 1989 at 19yrs old still in his prime at that time. The vets are alot more trained on dealing with that now. Just wish they could have saved secretary from that stuff in 1989
@@user-mf2yo9mi4sI didn’t know that! My mini was cured by her ferrier not her vet. When he reported to me that her laminitis was completely healed he was near to tears of joy. I was so close to having her put down a few months prior to this. My old coach was very angry with me for even considering such a thing so I didn’t go through with it. I’m glad I didn’t. When I moved 1,800 kilometres away to a different province she had to be specially transported in a box stall so she could lay down for the journey. She made no worse for the wear. It’s apparently rare for laminitis to heal so she is a blessed little soul. She fought the good fight and came out the other end. Needless to say I am a foot care fanatic now.
Gidday mate i just want to say that you do a fantastic job shoeing horses i wish i had you doing my horses my freind thanks very much for sharing.kind regards Greg Lee from Melbourne victoria Australia. 🐎🏇🐎🏇🏇🐎😁🖐👍🏻.
No, there's no heat wings on the hills. The shooting in put on is just like a d*** heart bar. So so you're gonna have a horse pressure on the coffin bone? Which if the horse is standard? Who's got a bird caught in a stuffed show? My parking hard bar or something. Locked heartburn shoe on the front. To get that support on the coffin bone help pump bad into the horse's house.
There are oils you can use to seal in some moisture, and some that are more cosmetic for shows, but otherwise not really. The hoof wall is made out of keratin like our nails are, but a lot thicker - imagine your thumb tip with just the bone, and then rather than muscle it's all nail. But it's also not good to use oil too much, because as well as sealing moisture in, it'll keep it out.
Hello , do you ever fix someone else’s bad work and if you do , would you tell the owner about the issue or you just keep it to your self knowing the guy might do it again ?? Thank you
Caleb, I she really sore at the pinkish area in front of the frog towards the front of the hoof? Also, what are we seeing what appears to be nail holes in her sole on both sides of the hoof? Is that painful for her and is it because the hoof wall is so thin that the shoe nails go directly into the sole? How come she doesn’t have to rest for a month or six weeks so the hooves and soles can really heal well before she starts competing again? Thanks! 😊❤
I think I can answer most of this for you. When a horse founders, heat builds up in their feet, like having a fever. This affects the internal structure of the hoof, causing pain and weakens the supporting structures. In turn, depending on the severity, hemorrhages occur in the sole. As Caleb trims the hoof, you are seeing where the hemorrhages occurred. Founder affects the whole body, but due to the limited blood supply to the legs, this is the result. Laminitis is a result of founder, where the hoof wall separates from the inner hoof and outside horn. No, it's not painful to insert nails into the outer hoof wall. The opposite is true if the nail goes into the laminea. This is why Caleb is among one of the best farriers I've had the pleasure to follow!
@@chrismack5908 Hi Mr. Mack! Thank you for the thorough explanation to my questions. I feel bad the the horse because even a lay person like me can see that her hooves are sore. Also. It worried me that her hoof wall appears to be so very thin. I never have seen a horse with that. Hopefully, she will be better soon and not need to be treated for founder. I hope so. I agree with you about Caleb. I love watching his videos and that he explains everything as he works on each horse. As you can tell, I’m new to farrier work, but I do think that Caleb has to be one of the best in his field! Thanks again for taking time to respond to my questions and concerns. You’ve been a big help!! Have a very nice weekend. I hope you and your family are safe and far away from all of the severe weather areas around the country. Take care. Rafaela Ferguson
@user-ox7jf4oc8r Good afternoon. Thank you for the well wishes. I'm in NorCal, so really normal weather; it's good here. I owned horses for years so am somewhat familiar with the goods and bads of owning them. A solid farrier is a must and, as the saying goes: no foot, no horse. Horses are wonderful companions, but take constant work and care, and $$$. Glad to have helped!
@@chrismack5908 You are very kind Mr. Mack. North Carolina is a beautiful State. I live in Maryland and, so far, we have escaped all of the catastrophic weather events around the US; thank God! I love horses but I know they require a lot of care and that you must have a lot of capital to own one. I very much appreciate you responses to me today Mr. Mack. Have a safe and relaxing weekend. God Bless You.
I'm remembering Secretariat who was euthanized because of laminitis. I know a little about it but not enough I guess. So it makes me ask why a horse with some rotation of the coffin bone would be ridden so much. I realize there are degree's of rotation but it seems risky to me to ride a horse that much.
I don’t get it. If I had a horse that had acute laminitis - and I gave her plenty of time, proper nutrition and whatever corrective , therapeutic hoof care they required to go sound again - maybe - I would consider trying competitive endurance again. When you start saying founder you’re crossing into chronic laminitis. A horse with chronic laminitis (founder) should never be asked to continue to compete in endurance racing. You can plainly see the bruising between the tip of her frog and the toe of the first hoof you trim. Give her a new purpose - like a kids trail horse on ground easy to cover and find another horse with no predisposition to laminitis for competitive endurance racing! Finally, the term is ‘cresty’ as in ‘crest’ … not crusty.
Thanks for the teaching Caleb.

How about a video about the best way to sharpen your knives and nippers?
Good day Caleb! Nice work on her! Love your explanations and always enjoy your posts!

GLAD YOU HELPED THIS HORSE HOPE IT DONT TAKE FOREVER --WILL YOU EVER GET HER UN FOUNDED ??🥰🥰
Thanks for the explanation as you work. Would love to see trimming of ergots & and chestnuts, please.
Very nice work! She looks great ty so much for taking us along Im a fan!
thanks Caleb, very insightful. Appreciate you creating and sharing the video.
I wish we could see the horse at the end. All horses are beautiful, but this breed is amazingly elegant.
Nice work.

show us the hoof before and the final result ...befor and after in comparison !🙏👋🇨🇭
I see a scare left wrist. What injury occurred? Just the nurse in me.
What happened to your wrist and nails? On the job accident? 😮
Hello , do you ever fix someone else’s bad work and if you do , would you tell the owner about the issue or you just keep it to your self knowing the guy might do it again ??
Thank you
Is the pinkness on the sole around the toe bruising or just colouring.
What does founder mean? Someone please?
Have u evet shoed a horse with a hoof so bad it had to be completely restored from hoofwall to frogs?
Yes they are really tough
Why the black where nails were?
