I love the big horses. Many yrs ago had the opportunity to meet a group of Budweiser Clydesdales that were out on the rd and stopped at a 4H stable by my house to rest. Truly magnificent horses.
When I was a young kid, my dad took me to the American Royal. He was talking with someone at a commercial table, and I wandered off to the horse barn where the Budweiser Clydesdales were bedded down. I watched them groom for a while, and one of the handlers asked if I wanted to meet them. I ended up on the back of one of the big boys. The horse only sort of noticed that I was on his back. He kept on eating his oat mash and the handler kept on grooming. I was about 8 or 9, and 45 years later it is still imprinted in my mind.
Nice job, well trimmed and drafts are a rewarding challenge. Can you also talk about trimming a horse that is pigeon toed? As 1 horse I have is pigeon toed, so a little tricky to trim.
New to your channel. I had been watching cow hoof trimming until I found you. I really like your narration and explanation of what you are doing. You are very gentle with the horses and careful not to hurt them. Very impressive videos. And I agree with your other followers in that it would be great to see the horses. Good luck in your certification.
Thank you for explaining what you are doing, why, and what the names of parts of the hoof. I haven’t found many farriers do that, at least not that I’ve found. I appreciate your channel.
Do they make carbide rasps? I’ve heard you say that you go through a new one quickly. I watch Sprague woodturning & Jim turns wood & epoxy which is extremely hard. For wood you only need steel but epoxy will make you have to sharpen your tool multiple times a project. The carbide can hold up a lot better so I thought it might be helpful to you to get one made if you can’t buy one
I plan to get a draft in the future. What are some things I can do before my farrier gets there to make it easier? Wrap up the feathering ✅ Make sure they stand for them ✅ and special equipment I should have on hand maybe you would like owners to have just in case?
Been watching several of your videos and I'm really impressed. And learning so VERY much. I don't have horses at present (had them as a child, but I wasn't in charge of a lot of care, other than making sure they had food/water/a clean stall/friendship), but we do have them in our future plans, so I'm very glad to learn this NOW, before I make mistakes that can be avoided. One of the things you talk about is how horses can be harmed by less-than skilled farring. (Did I spell that right?) Sadly you're probably not located near where we'll have our farm. May I suggest a video on what the (novice or near novice) horse owner should look for in a farrier before they let them loose on their horses? If you haven't already? And if so, please point to that. Maybe also a video on what horse owners should be doing (such as regular hoof cleaning, checking for stones and being attentive enough to know when their critter is limping--but I'm sure there are a lot of other things as well that might not be so obvious) to care for their horses' hooves before they become a problem. Also, assuming a sound horse and no presenting problems, how often should they be seeing a farrier?
Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us. I know absolutely nothing about horses but love them anyway. I wonder if sometime you could go over the anatomy of a horse’s foot. I sure don’t see any toes or frogs or anything. LOL 🤔 I’m a retired nurse and I like learning about stuff like that. If you’re too busy that’s fine. That’s what Google is for, I guess. Thanks, Caleb!
I love your videos I have learn a lot and I think is Avery noble but tough job glad you like it because around this areas they don’t wanna do it anymore😅 but congrats keep making content is very nice !!!!
My great grandfather was a stable hand for Mr Penman (the underwear king of Canada). He travelled to Canada from northern England /Scotland with Mr Penman’s horses (a stable of polo ponies and Draught Horses) in a ship’s hold. We still have his trophies and awards for the presentation of Mr Penman’s animals ( Mr Penman allowed them to keep any awards they earned in his employment).
I’ve heard that light colored hooves are softer than dark hooves. True or false? People’s hair has different texture, so is the same for horse’s hooves?
Would it be interesting to look into stating sometimes how thick the hoof wallhorn is in a video or two so people can make a mental picture of how far you can go before hurting the horse in any sort of way and so decreasing the ammount of hoofwall thickness concerns..
I love drafts. I would love to have one. I've been ground apon for calling them feathers also. It's feather. I say there's more than one leg so feathers. Lol
I love watching shows, the size of her is huge, I was wondering if by any chance to use a verable speed grinder, there's these flush cutting blades, say a 5 inch flush cutting blade would make the huge foot a easy as to clean up well, but feel she mite get scared from the noise. Just a thought tho
Hold up! Did you say you were competing? Are you willing to show us some of that content? I used to watch some of them, I loved watching them hammer away, and to (like you in your trimming videos and how to use the competitions as a way to get better at their jobs). They never got into what place they took or the judging aspects, just the anvil time and mental process.
Maybe it's because she's so big but her frogs look really tall? Deep? I'm not sure of the terminology but it looks like more of her frog would be in contact with the ground?
Question: could you point out when you say something like 'the bars or alike anatomy, where that is with for instance a quick picture in between the video, so that those that do not know what it is or where should I say, they know what you are talking about? Or, if you have that, a video about this? So you can say, a link is in the description box? It's just a suggestion or idea, I honestly haven't looked at all of your vid's, haven't had the time yet but a referral is always handy, if you catch my drift 👍 (Although you really explain a lot right now in this video and I absolutely would love it to hear that in every video so everybody who is new knows it so much faster, still would love a 1 hoofed anatomy 'lesson' video, IF you do not have that already 😁 ) But, great work, thank you for showing us 👍 Edit: question 2, when you have rasped the hoofwall, is it possible to show again the first POV? Because I never have seen the hoof at the underside after the rasping of the hoofwall.. And yes, one question more 😁 , she has bruises on the inside or outside? edges of the frogs on both hoofs, what is a cause of this?
You’re from Idaho, it’s hard to offend Idahoans. They have common sense and can have conversations without getting their panties in a wad. ( I am being sarcastic, kinda) LOL
I'd be in so much trouble with my farrier if i didn't present my horse with clean dry hooves 😳 really not professional and can cause their tools to become blunt faster!
I was fortunate to ride a 19.2 hand Shire. Omg. It was amazing !!!
So big and gentle. His name was Daniel.
Something u never forget
I love your new videos where you explain so much! It's really interesting
I was very lucky to meet a Clydesdale, and he put his head over the fence and we had a love fest. They are so gentle, so sweet, and HUGE!
Lovely work! Good to know you are continuing to learn, so you can challenge yourself to do better for the horses under your care.
I like how gentle You are with the horse while You are helping the horse hoof feel better
Thank you for the explanation while you work! That’s one reason I like you!
Got my 7 quarter horses feet done today . They're all in good shape .
Thanks for what you do and how you do it .🐎☝

Thank you for sharing your story and helping these horses, you do a fantastic job😊❤
I always enjoy your teaching and commentary.
Cant blame you for upping your skills Caleb all the better for the horses you treat as you never stop learning , cant wait to see a vid of Dakota ..
Lovely to hear your narration and well done and good luck for your certification ❤

Job well done😶
Working with these gorgeous and very big horses are a handful. Love the educational nature of your videos. Thank you❤
Great job done. Love your chat.❤❤❤❤❤
If only the horses wrote the checks.
Thank you for explaining what you are doing, why, and what the names of parts of the hoof. I haven’t found many farriers do that, at least not that I’ve found. I appreciate your channel.
I so appreciated your respectfulness to her.
You must love your job.

Love how you talk about everything you are doing your likes dislikes really enjoy your videos. I learn a lot
i enjoy watchin your videos, good luck
Beautiful job
I had a Belgian cross. His dam was a POA! Beautiful and sweet.
You never disappoint. I always love watching your videos and listening to your explanations Caleb.

Good luck with the certification. Are there many exams and which ones?

Your doing a really nice job
looks awesome
I’ve heard that light colored hooves are softer than dark hooves. True or false? People’s hair has different texture, so is the same for horse’s hooves?
What is the frog made of and what is its main function?
Nice video!
Hi
Why do you shape her hoof like a triangle ie why isn't her hoof round at the front.
Thanks
Nice job
Would it be interesting to look into stating sometimes how thick the hoof wallhorn is in a video or two so people can make a mental picture of how far you can go before hurting the horse in any sort of way and so decreasing the ammount of hoofwall thickness concerns..
Do you have a shirt saying “it’s not weakening the hoof wall?” 😂 I’d get!
We'll see if we can't make that happen stay tuned we've got some exciting news coming soon
YES JUST THE WAY works best
Lakota! Is her last name "Sue?" (tongue in cheek) 😁
I love drafts. I would love to have one. I've been ground apon for calling them feathers also. It's feather. I say there's more than one leg so feathers. Lol

Absolutely I'll start filming practice and competition time. Its a blast really helps improve skills and experience
Maybe it's because she's so big but her frogs look really tall? Deep? I'm not sure of the terminology but it looks like more of her frog would be in contact with the ground?
That's the same size as our drafts....
Question: could you point out when you say something like 'the bars or alike anatomy, where that is with for instance a quick picture in between the video, so that those that do not know what it is or where should I say, they know what you are talking about?

You’re from Idaho, it’s hard to offend Idahoans. They have common sense and can have conversations without getting their panties in a wad. ( I am being sarcastic, kinda) LOL
caleb I wonder if were related some where as I am a Erickson also who know's I also had a nighber that did this
I am out of minneapolis
I'd be in so much trouble with my farrier if i didn't present my horse with clean dry hooves 😳 really not professional and can cause their tools to become blunt faster!
Are you gonna eat that white horse hoof meat that you trimmed
Now I'm a complete novice new to anything horse do you shoe draft horses
Yes, drafts can be shoed. However, from watching Caleb's videos, i do not believe Lakota is usually shod.
GREATJOB==THE MORE YOU LEARN IS GOOD FOR YOU BUT YOU SEEM TO BE DOING JUST FINE==PRAYERS 🥰🥰
