- FOOT MAPPING TO ASSIST YOUR HOOF TRIM - PART 2
TRIMMING THE BAREFOOT!
Credit to Mr Mark N Caldwell, (2015), A Test of the Universal Applicability of a commonly used principle of Hoof Balance.
Foot mapping is a process in which highlights the location of the internal anatomical structures using external references points. We use the location of these structures in order to trim the hoof to allow it to function correctly.
When barefoot trimming we take a very conservative approach and try to maintain as much strength to the hoof capsule as possible in order to allow it to function to it's natural ability. We also try to encourage the foot or stimulate the hoof, to grow and wear in a way as which to maintain its own strength, quality and function. In this video I try to demonstrate how to use the foot mapping technique to best trim the foot around those anatomical structures.

Nice. Oh to be young again. I remember when I didn't use a hoof stand, (22 years ago).
Alex I’ve watched this and part 1 about twenty times each and want to say thank you very much. Trimmed my ClydesdaleX today and I’m very happy with his feet.
Thanks very much from the Welshman down under. More videos of different hoof types would be epic too. Thanks 🤙🏻🤙🏻
BwlBoy great job 👍 glad I can help my friend! I’ll be working to put some more videos together over the winter with more detailed videos on trimming and shoeing to come so I hope you get to watch them also. Take care and speak again soon
Alex
Alex Ridgeway Farrier epic I will certainly be on the look out for them.
Hello Alex: i appreciate learning from you about the foot. You make it fun and easy to understand. I am learning to do my horse’s feet and your guidance helps. I signed up for a short course on barefoot trimming in a few weeks, so I am trying to get a head start. Yes enjoy your youthful body and hands like the previous reviewer stated that he needs to use the foot stand , which includes me at 58. I feel like I am 18 but my body does not always agree.
babszz333 Hello, great to hear from you and that you are learning some new skills 👍 good luck on your course and I hope some of my videos can help you out along the way. I have some great videos coming out soon so I also hope you find them interesting too. I don’t often use a foot stand as I deal with a lot of young horses especially in racing. I feel that sometimes it’s safer to be without. 🤔 my back possibly doesn’t agree. Take care and speak again.
Alex
Nice, Good work :-)
Great very informative and well presented Thank you
Julie Lucy thank you 😊 glad you enjoyed it.
(1:59) no concavity because his diet is too high in carbohydrates...get him off the grain. You could still help this horse by adding a toe rocker to shorten the toe...but more importantly correcting the lateral bar which has a pinch point under the center of articulation of the coffin joint. This pinch point is caused because that heel is growing forward. This is easily to see when you compare the heels and toe pillars.
bmc06239 you can’t make the ‘assumption’ that the animals diet is too high in carbohydrates, there is no mention of its feed in the video and there is certainly more than one factor that can attribute to the obvious L/M & D/P stretching of the solar plate.
My questions to the Farrier are,
“ why do you spend the time to map out the anatomical landmarks on an untrimmed foot and then abandon any further reference to the location of the P3? “
“It would appear that you left the point of break over at least 20mm in front of the distal border of the P3, why? “
There is nothing about this trim that will reduce the flexible leverages occurring within the hoof capsule therefor it is inaccurate to say that this trim has gained any positive effects on the biomechanics of this hoof capsule.
Time for Change...an assumption based on my knowledge of England. Your questions for the farrier show a deeper understand of hoof care than most...how did you acquire this?
bmc06239, I trimmed my first hoof capsule in 1981 and I have dedicated my life to the horse, his well being and his ability to move without impediment. I’ll say it this way... my hoof care protocol is based on....”flexible leverage reduction created by anatomically correct hoof care”.....
I’ve taken my research very seriously and have done so for decades.... If I’m not mistaken I’m extremely familiar with your own research and I must say I have developed a tremendous amount of respect for you and your acute knowledge...(You gave yourself away when you made reference to the pillars and the pressure point building at the apex of the lateral bar.)
I'm always learning...sharing and searching for knowledge...my email... bmc06239 at yahoo
bmc06239 .... heelfirstlanding@gmail.com ....yours bounced my email back ....
Keep up the hard work buddy =]]
Adam Paul Mcnulty Thanks Adam! I have few more videos projects coming up
Alex Ridgeway Fantastic Aly mate I look forward to more videos =)))))
👍
lol
I came here for my horse but, as a nurse, I was distracted by all the vein-candy. Lovely veins!
So your drawing is absolutely useless?
At no time do you use the created points?
Why lower the heels of the hind legs to this level?
You leave the supporting wall, so it will break in less than a week....
