Fantastic video! Well explained very informative and educational!!This young farrier is going to have a successful business. Mainly he is respectful!!!👍👍👍👍👍🙏
Here in New Zealand it's a constant battle with foot rot, soft soles, week hoof walls, thrush, seedy toe, white line separation. Just never any dry conditions....ever. Nice work, good video
I find myself wishing for wet feet out here in the desert, but it certainly comes with its own set of challenges so I’m perfectly fine with the dry. Thanks for watching!
Buy a book called "performance hoof, performance horse" by Nic Barker, no dry weather needed, I'm in Ireland, NIc is in south east England, doesn't get much wetter
The exterior hoof wall is lower than the bars as you can see. The bar length is only a problem when they are longer than the exterior hoof and strike the ground first. That shoves the bar up into the hoof capsule. This is a good trim with plenty concavity to the bar length.
@vanaruone6767 there is plenty of reason to knife out bars. Like to release structure for constricted heels or as you said trapped debris. Point is you need to see those concerns to need to take bars. You don't just take bars to take bars. PNW is super wet where I work. Without bar structure, capsules expand and fall apart. No bueno
I use the back of my knife as to not dull the cutting edge I am usually only able to use a knife for about 8 months and picking feet with it doesn’t seem to speed that up much.

I didn’t see the bar being trimmed

He did it at the start.
@@Jd-xl4olthat’s not the only reason to take bars all the way down, debris is trapped there under bars and causes caudal abscesses

Awesome 👍
Why do you use a hoof knife to pick out the hoof initially? I would think that would wear out your knife too fast.

Why did you take so much of the sole?
@@kennyjohnson9178 If this was just an ordinary trim instead of a barefoot trim, the Western States Farrier should be willing to explain it
The heels are too high which puts pressure on P3
You did not use the term Mustang roll.
Damn! That was efficient! Thank you for the time you put into making these videos!!!
Go back with the back foot. Not out to the side.
