Great video, I've learned to wet the ground a day before I trim.... Even if they soften by 25%, it makes it 50% less work.

Thank you....I use an electric grinder.....I love it....my horses hooves are tough just like yours....I got my horses used to the grinder by running it around their body.....it took time but I’m glad I did it...much faster and easier on me and them.....yes don’t forget to tie the tails....

Hi Bill. What I got out of this video is that I wouldn't want to be a farrier in your neck of the woods if all horses have feet as hard as your horses.Talk about hard work!

Janeen, there are a lot of horses out here on irrigated land. But yes, the ones that live like mine have rock hard hooves.
@semtech305 жыл бұрын
When in a very dry climate those hooves get hard. When there is regular rain and moist ground the hooves behave much different. Softer. The soles shed much easier, chalking off. More tender feet on a wet landscape.

We are so dry with this 3 year drought that I can't make the hoof knife cut anything and my nippers can barely cut the hoof. I have to use the rasp to trim the foot , and I can't use power tools on most of my young horses and my main horse is just getting to where I don't have to lay her down to trim feet anymore. I love my Milwaukee tools, batteries last a long time and only take 20min to recharge.

I'm also a big fan of Milwaukee tools. I just couldn't find one.

Great to watch, thank you. I can always count on real facts from your teaching and demos. Coming so late in life back to horses, I appreciate how consistent your info is whether on training, hoof care, or common sense! Great scenery, too, especially the 4-legged kind at 34:40. 😉 (By the way, sorry for the pseudonym, I don’t know how to shake it. My name is Paige.)

Thank you for this information. It was most helpful when considering what you can use the grinder for.

Good information Bill. If my horses would stand still for it I would use a grinder. It would be faster and save on my worn out back. MB BAR RANCH

Good video , I have been contemplating getting a grinder for doing my personal horses. Possibly some good client horses but like you there are not many customers that have well behaved horses 😉 I did just get a pair of compound nippers and going to give them a try. More cutting power, but much heavier than my GE nippers. They don't make noise either so can be used on client horses. I'm in western Washington so we cycle wet season ,dry season .

I've never seen compound nippers. Where did you purchase them? Thanks!

Wow, i did not know about the rock hard hoof. I know they can get rocks stuck in them and cracks, and that they need good ground to run on.

If the flys are bothering the horses when you do this get a old bed sheet and put over the horse with a couple clothes pins

Had the cattle rasp and used it on a handheld electric grinder for the horses that would allow it.

Hi Bill, how long do those bits tend to last? Can you do a full trim with one battery on that harbor freight grinder?
@HoofTech5 жыл бұрын
Hi Cory, the bits should last quite a long time. The battery only did one horse.

Funny, though several people have made that comment but not as nice. I guess I just talk like a drunk. Never drink during the day & especially when I'm around horses or power tools!
