Why is this so interesting? Like I live in a city. Ain't even a picture of a horse for 20 miles but I'm over here like "The frog!! Yes."

In almost every video I've seen today, the content creator talks about hate they get for the way they're working - I just had to stop and say screw the haters. People come here to watch how people do things only to criticize and shred your methods and standards. They're not here to learn - not here to be informed. You are CLEARLY an incredible farrier, and you've mastered your craft. I haven't owned a horse since 1987 lol..and I'm really not sure how you came across my suggested feed. But this is so interesting to me and I'm so glad to have the privilege of watching your work!! Thank you!!

There’s always going to be self proclaimed know it alls commenting on your work but the beauty of it is the fact that you ARE the professional. You’re a great teacher, thank you. ☺️

I really love draft horses and I really appreciate your instruction and explanation of hoof care for these big friends. Showing and naming of the various parts of the hoof and describing your technique has been educational. Thanks.

i do believe this is the first farrier video i have stumbled on that explains the whys and reasonings of whats being done..absolutely enjoyed this one..keep it up bro!

Saran or pallet wrap is going to be ridiculously less expensive than the same amount of vet wrap. Also, because you can get it with that roller handle, it looks much easier to apply. For the amount of time it's going to be on there, it's plenty sticky. You're just putting it on there to keep the hair out of the way while you do the trim, so why would anyone care???

Love your narration. You do great work. She has a lot of trust in you. Thanks for sharing this.

This was really informative and interesting, thank you for sharing your knowledge! I volunteer with an organization that does horse riding for disabled children, and we just had the farrier come to visit today. I'm always very interested in his work, but don't want to bother him with a million questions while he's busy - so it's great to find a channel like yours where I can listen and replay things :)

My wife and I have a shire stallion. Absolutely beautiful horses.

Shires are the biggest horses in the world standing 17 to 18 hands or bigger. Weighing in at 2000 to 2500 lbs. Essentially the equine version of a Sherman Tank.

WoW ! Hoofs the size of salad plates. 😳 Pretty brave to work under a fidgety 2000 lb. horse...I did see someone there with you, but still. Your narration of the process is fascinating, always enjoy your videos. 🤗

Show us a photo of the horse you are working on, please! Love your descriptions as you work.

Hi Caleb. I really enjoyed watching you work on this massive shire horse. I saw a beautiful one in the UK and it was huge. Hats off to uou guys for looking after these lovely animals.

Very interesting for sure. I especially like how you explain what and why you do things. 👍

With that much animal weight, "distortion" is inevitable. Good trimming should include rebalancing the outward flare. Appears to me, you've done excellent work bringing her hooves back to correct form. Not that I'm an expert, I rely on my farrier and watch him closely as he explains what he's doing.

This was very informative. Most of it over my head but it makes sense that they have dinner plate feet. Their weight is so massive but yet they can move so beautifully. Thanks for the video

For those unaware: the hoof material is literally the same stuff as finger- or toenails (it is, in essence, a giant toenail) and the frog is effectively a huge callus (enormously-thickened skin), so trimming them doesn't hurt or harm the horse. As for the use of clingfilm - it seems like a clever and cheap solution to a problem that will undoubtedly affect all farriers who handle the larger (and/or hairier) breeds of horse. There will be some elitists out there, or uneducated people who parrot what people trying to sell things say, but to me, it simply reads like a smart idea.

I also get very upset at the youtube haters. Talented people go out of their way to show us their wonderful skills, art, craft. If people don’t have anything nice to say, they should stay off youtube! Sir, thank you for being so kind in sharing your skill with us. I am on youtube to learn about horses, and their care. Well done. Please keep showing us your skill, and explaining things so well..!❤❤

Beautiful job. I watch HoofGP on KZfaq. He trims cows feet, and I think that horses hoof looks like it has a white line defect similar to a cow. I guess it’s different on horses. Since cows have that split in the middle. I’m just fascinated by what you do. Keep up the great work. 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

Love the work you did there we can tell how much you love the horses. Thank you for sharing your love with us.

I just think farrier work is so interesting and beautiful. I find it very fascinating

Thank you Caleb. Really like your narration as you go.❤❤❤ 😊

I love your channel and the big beauties you work on. I wish you would show the horse (the face and maybe a walkaround) at the beginning of your videos instead of just showing the hoof though.

Love the explanation of the hoof.

Love draft horses 🐎 lovely job on Lakoda's large hoofs 🩷

Looked at your videos, must say very interesting and informative..thanks for sharing,,😊

Someone needs to invent horse hoof hair nets😂

Love hearing the details you get into. Thank you

Love your information

That packaging wrap is a heck of a lot cheaper than vet wrap. Who cares what others think! 😊

I love to watch you work! You are so good at what you do. I check to see every day to see if there is anything new.

Screw the haters! Your paying customers and LOYAL VIEWERS count for more than any others who come here to gripe. I don't know if you can block them but it sure would be tempting. I was a long time horse owner of multiple horses with multiple hoof needs. If I didn't like the work a farrier did I explained why I was changing to a different farrier. I wanted the best for MY HORSES. If I couldn't get that I moved to someone else. I never spent time trying to "re-educate" a farrier to suit my needs. Pointless activity! You do you, Caleb, and let the devil take the gripers off your hands and off your channel. Those of us facinated with your style of work and reasons behind it will still be here. Bless you for the work of your hands, sir.

Loved your video!! The anatomy lesson was great and your explanations are very understandable to a non-farrier. I look forward to seeing more of your stuff.

I don't know who taught you but they did a great job. I can tell you really listen to them and ask alot of questions. Your videos are great. The horses seem very calm with you. Again great job young man.

I noticed that farrier who trim a lot of feathered horses have these cute legwarmer type of band tat rolls over the feathers and is tight enough at the bottom not to slip. Pretty neat lol

wow! what does she look like she mmust be gorgeous!

Best farrier explanation, thank you!

I am always amazed at the size of a draft horse's hoof - wow

Thanks for the commentary. Very helpful.

It's a good thing there are so many different kinds of people in the world. With different ways of doing things, there are different ways to overcome issues that arise, as the years go by. What is important is the animals are healthy and have no issues in these areas.

Appreciate your videos Caleb!!! Informative and extremely educational! Hope you can do a video on trimming a club footed horse soon! Hello from California!!!

This is the very first video I have watched and I have to thank you for explaining every step of the way.

Always enjoy 🐴❤️

Great commentary. Thanks.

Excellent narration of your work👍

Great video thanks for all the details of what your doing and why you do it that way. 😊

I find your videos fascinating. Thank you ❤

I can only assume that, sometimes, you feel like a dentist, working on a child. LOL

Thanks for your expert info!!!

You do excellent professional work. Aloha!

Got a draft cross 16 hands and 1600 lbs, so appreciate seeing your work on drafts. Can you post a link to the knives you use?

Always such an informative video. So amazing that others are critical. Great job!

We had Clydesdales on my family dairy farm in Aotearoa. They can be a little stubborn to say the least but I was little and they're massive. Used to push the little horses around with me standing on top. I love the breed soooo so much

The skills you need in your profession are really those of a surgeon: knowledge of anatomy and physiology and “feel” for your work.

Thank you so much for the details in the v/o

Nice work. So grateful to see your barefoot trim. I was certified to do them myself, but never had a draft.

Caleb , you are a good carrier, I like watching you do your calling🤪🇨🇱

Excellent work and even better commentary!

Awesome video

Great job 👏

Good explanations. Thank you from Germany.🇩🇪

She was definitely well behaved great vid Caleb .

Beautiful to watch. So difficult to get farriers to see horses in England.

Wow, you're really good at what you do.

I don't like Saran Wrap, but I couldn't imagine going into someone's comments section to put up a huge stink about that! You're doing what you need to get the job done -- and sometimes that's what's necessary! I'd much rather pressure manufacturers to make their products more eco-friendly than blame the people who need to use said products!

I’m gonna tell my wife that she has a very healthy and large frog😂 Enjoyed the video. God bless

amazing

Wow nice job

I have to say I follow a couple of hoove smiths (not sure what you guys call the profession, apologies in advance 😅) but I really like the very good equipment, everything always in top shape and makes it look much more easy and smooth. Also the calm explanation and calmness I've seen from your video's. Your work looks very good and you are definitely my favorite here on YT

Dude that foot is a legit frisbee

Horses in the United States should all be gun trained. So they don't get spooked by gunfire or any similar sounds. When it is a high possibility that they will hear gunfire at some point, it is best to teach them to ignore it, which also helps keep their stress down during thunderstorms.

Amazing video and explanation overall, how do you recognize the level of the sole you are trimming to? By color, texture...? how do you know when you have reach the sweet spot?

I find these vids so satisfying and cool. My question is how do these guys do this time after time without keeping their backs from hurting?

WOW!

How do you take care of your body to prevent injury in this profession?

This is why i would always tell others who told me they want to buy and own a horse, i would always tell them to make sure you first find and know at least 5 solid reliable experienced Farriers and secondly a good vet. If you never miss a trimming/shoeing Farrier appt , you will never have a horse hoof prob simply due to catching on in it's earliest stage possible just by having visits every 8 weeks.

Okay, I haven't quite finished the video _but_ had to drop in to say this... I have seen some *bad* farrier work. The farrier who worked on my horse (a farrier I used because he came to see my sister's horses, and mine was pastured with them) would show up, not do *anything* to her sole or frog (even though they needed work), do the laziest trim I'd ever seen, then overcharge us. I ended up being forced to learn how to trim her soles and frogs myself and (conservatively) fix her uneven trim so that it wouldn't develop into a problem down the line because otherwise she had fantastic, healthy feet. I'm getting back into horses again after a decade and man... if I could get you as a farrier, I'd pay a premium for this quality of trim because I wouldn't be wondering "what condition will her feet be in THIS time?"

Jurassic park comes to mind 🇨🇦🤣

Youbare amazing. Not many like you out there. Farriers. Im so glad you all are there for them.

You are making a lot of anatomical references. Please explain these for those of us who are only vaguely familiar with these terms. Also, if you can mention how the anatomy and physiology work together, this would be good, too. This is so very interesting. You are totally right about how much it takes to be a good farrier. It just looks like a little scraping, a little shaving with the knife, and a little rasping, sort of like getting a manicure. No big deal, right? Ahhh...no. lol 😊 So much more goes into it. It's like this whole world of science, but ever so interesting. Thanks for sharing. 'Til next time. 😊😊😊

how much time between hoof work ?

I wonder why. Cow hoof trimmers put the cows in a thing called a crush (I think that’s what it’s called) to stabilize the cows and each individual hoof. They also use a hand held grinder to take off the bulk. This all seems very efficient. Why don’t farriers do this?

Soft grass MUSHROOMS YUM YUMMY Plus working on horses you know your job my good man

Is there a difference between how often you need to trim a heavy horse like this and other horses? I am new to this

I think you should get a kids hairband for the hoof hair. It takes zero space, is cheap and less time than wrapping.

Interesting to learn from an expert that wild horses do not require this kind of treatment, due to natural abrasion.

Ohhh thank you for explaining where what is!!! Seat-of-the-corn? ::taking copious notes::😅

👍👍👍🐴🐴🐴

What about the bar pressure on frog?

Hoofs should be cleaned every day.

So what would happen if you actually weakened the hoofwall?

Takes about 30 seconds once he starts talking to know this man understands…. Equine podiatry? It’s amusing people in the comments have the ignorance to tell him what he should or shouldn’t do and pointing out what he’s “doing wrong”.

The horse as to trust you a lot to be so quiet.

ignore the haters they know noting that's why they comment

Buonasera , noto con piacere che vengono utilizzati i guanti . Solitamente fanno questa operazione di ristoro , senza i guanti alle mani. Forse per praticità .

Baby calves & baby foals-- lol

Can you please spell the name of your knife . I can't hear when you say the name of your favorite knife. Thank you.

Why do dogs always want to eat the frog trimmings?

Does a horse have a quick on their hoof like dogs do with their nails

Thats 907 kg of horse.
