As a lineman who takes pride in keeping the trade grounded and rooted in its history , I truly appreciate your work as I’m sure the equine do as well ! Great Videos🤝
Thanks, Caleb, for this "part two" of "Lakota's Cranky Day", which reassures my wife and I that our "3 Amigos" are normal! At our ages (I'm pushing 70 and my wife ain't telling...), our bodies won't let us trim all 3 horses on one day, although it appears you did trim Lakota's front and hind hooves on the same day, judging by your "she dented my truck" comment. Watching how you keep your cool even when the horse gets cranky is good medicine. Every trim we do is a learning experience and I hope we are getting better at it as we go. Suggested viewing/listening for you and your viewers is Corb Lund's music video "Horse Poor." That song says it all!
Great video,first time I've actually watched a farrier be so explanatory, I actually feel like I'm right there with him! Caleb you're very impressive with ur knowledge of farrier work,Im extremely impressed with your mannerism!! God bless keep up great videos!!! 🙏
Thank you for the kind words I really strive to give people the closest experience to being there and doing it themselves. It's literally what I want people to think when the watch these videos 🙂
Thank you Caleb! I’m a 58 year old lady with ankylosing spondylitis (rheumatoid arthritis of the spine) and I do the trimming of our horses - including our 17.2 hand Belgian. I have fun watching your videos and it encourages me when doing our horses. I especially feel good when I can say “Abby quit!” when our Belgian tries to pull her foot away and she listens to me. 🤣 if she won’t listen, I spin her big butt in a circle, then she licks/chews and picks her little “tootsie” up and stands there for me. 🤣 Anyway, I just wanted to say thank you for your videos. I have a hard time keeping our Belgian’s flat feet from flaring.
I bet Lakota feels better now that her rear hooves are trimmed! Caleb, has Lakota lived her 18 years on this ranch with the current owner? Great job. ❤❤
Great video, Caleb. I really enjoy watching you work. I love that you explain what you're doing. I love Lakota. She's a sweet girl, except if she doesn't want her feet done. Lol. Take care.
I don't own horses and I can't afford classes to be a farrier, so my autistic self is here for the random knowledge and seeing horsies get helped to feel better❤
The wrap looked like something that would be helpful when the hooves are dry and hard and those sharp knives might slip. I love horses, but haven't had many opportunities to be close to them. Blessings😊😊😊@@caleberickson_The_Dying_Breed
Oh my she is Beautiful! I should have had patience and trusted in your process that we would see the horse that belongs to the hooves. 😊 Thank you for explaining it well enough that those of us without knowledge can fully understand the entire process. Is her color graying from age or is that her natural pattern?
I have been shoeing horses for about 3.5 years now and am wanting to get my CF. What forge would you recommend buying? Any other recommendations? I bought Chris Gregory's book and have been studying that. Are there any other resources to help prepare me for the test? Thanks
Nice video. Super explains with the wild horses, but the wild horses don't just run over wise. They have different substrates (gravel, sand, grass, etc.), which means that the wild horses "run out" their hooves.
Hi Caleb, love the videos. I appreciate your explanations. Just wondering if you were concerned about the wall separation in her feet and how would you treat that? Thanks
How's your hand doing, Caleb? I see in this video that it's still wrapped up pretty well. I hope it's doing better! Your friend, the Retired Paramedic and Horse Trainer in Ontario, Canada, Jenn 💖 🇨🇦
@caleberickson_The_Dying_Breed I have a brace, no cast after 14 weeks in a cast. Now I need to strengthen my wrist for showing the 2 stallions in March. Need some flexibility back!! LOL 🤣 Jenn 💖
Bigger = more of everything = more chance for disability and disease. It's kinda ridiculous how straightforward that can be, but it's true in individual humans too
@@ciarabyford1755. It *might* be a difference in geography… the US is enormous, and most “horse people” here have a lot of pasture where horses spend much of their time. So it may not be unusual that the horse was in pasture until just before the farrier arrived, so not unusual their hooves need picking when the farrier begins. Sometimes it may just be poor husbandry - but probably not often. (Bad people don’t care for their horses generally, and aren’t having farriers out on any regular basis; that doesn’t seem to be what’s happening in this case.)
The wild horses argument is particularly moot with these giant draft horses. Mustangs and extinct wild horse species/types are small, pony-sized, really, and their feet behave differently because of the weight relative to hoof size
Actually the term mustang is unique to north America the first mustang were lost or traded Spanish horses mostly andalusian later the would mix with everything from thoroughbred to draft horses. Some of our wild herds today are heavier in one breed or another.
@@caleberickson_The_Dying_Breedthank you for the explanation about 'mustangs' I watch a lady that has been trying to adopt one from the many BLM's. She's pointed out the differences and similarities between each group, makes much more sense now.

I always learn from your videos. I appreciate your work and knowledge.
I adore Lakota. She is gorgeous and now has fans lol. Great job, I really like your channel.
Always awesome to watch you work Caleb! ❤👍
Good to see you, Caleb! Nice work, as always. I so love draft horses!! 💕💕🐎🐎💕💕
She is a beautiful horse. ❤❤❤

Oh my gosh, the wrap on your wrist! Did you hurt it working? I hope it heals quickly!
Tendinitis it's all good now 🙂

It was nice to see her at the end.
Love lakota

Natural color

Message me on Facebook and I'll give you any information I can
Nice video.

Find a Paintless Dent Repairman and he can make that dent go away quickly!
Hi Caleb, love the videos. I appreciate your explanations. Just wondering if you were concerned about the wall separation in her feet and how would you treat that? Thanks
Not super concerned it's pretty normal for her as long as it doesn't get worse it should be fine
@@caleberickson_The_Dying_Breed thank you Caleb
How's your hand doing, Caleb? I see in this video that it's still wrapped up pretty well. I hope it's doing better! Your friend, the Retired Paramedic and Horse Trainer in Ontario, Canada, Jenn 💖 🇨🇦
Doing a lot better no brace everything is going good now how about you

Sick intro
You hurt your hand again ?
Tendinitis I'm all healed up now
@caleberickson_The_Dying_Breed good you are better . thank you .
Why do the owners not pick out and wash the hooves before trimming? If i did that with mine my farrier would just look at and leave
I've never cleaned before my farrier got there unless it was particularly muddy and I've had several farriers no one has ever complained
@stephaniespalmer maybe it's just a European thing then? The farriers you get over here must just expect a higher standard of care on the owners part

Mustangs vary in size and build.. a lot.
4:46 I wouldn't rasp this side of the hoof that much. Unnecessary. Only weakens the hoof. Doing better mustang roll would be more beneficial instead.
