Great tutorial. Love the mathematical references. Tangent line, equidistance etc.

Thank you for making this video. I have always been interested in the anatomy of horses feet. I miss watching the Natural Balance Hoofcare Corner every week on Dennis Reis. It was my favorite part of the show. I just bought a walker who arrived yesterday. He has such underrun heels and long toes that he can't stand properly and although his gait is smooth as silk I know he can't be having fun. I called the farrier but I know it will take time to fix him up. This video will help.

Really informative. Thank you.

very thorough!

Thank you ¡¡¡¡very tutorial rasp aline to the frog line sounds good ))

Thanks so much.

Making it much more complicated than it needs to be.

Thanks for posting! Very educational :)

I like that hoof knife. what's the brand and what type is it?

Am I the only person who tried to flick the fly away???

Thanks heaps. 😀👍

Wow, you don't escape geometry here either...

What measuring tool is he using??? It looks handier than a ruler, especially for measuring a circular surface like a hoof!

at 1:30 there is a stamp on the dog

how do you trim on a front pigeon toed and rear cowhawked horse ? Thank you.

thanks for posting!(europe)

Great info. thanks. What kind of hoof knife is that? Seems like a good one.

Ugh that fly was so distracting!

Liked it. Did you learn it professionally?

What kind of knife are you using here in the beginning as your defining the apex of the frog?

What is the tool called you used to measure with?

I would like to know where he got his marker, because none of mine work that well. LOL

(8:48) where the bars terminate in healthy hoof should be a straight line from the heel to the apex of the frog...What Gene is teaching you is how to keep a hoof locked comfortably in founder. The reason Gene is teaching terminate the bars is not because he doesn't know it...but because it is very difficult to get straight bars...it involves physical therapy to reduce tension on the flexor muscle which will lengthen and strengthen the stride. If you try to force the bars straight the heel will collapse forward (more underrun) making the horse lame. Gene's method is OK but does not peak the performance of your horse and it puts the trimming into a continuous cycle of overgrowth and correction.

yes

I use the same knife on my horse

Thank you!When I was a child I had ride use of a pony if I fed and watered him.But he always would try to knock me off by going under a tree with low branches.Now I know why!His hooves were overgrown!💓😑

Really like this. Still, could we correct the spelling error in the title please? Triming? really?

are you serious? it's their only other video

Now ik now why there so many pigeon toed horse out there bad trims and bad shoeing the AFA need to start to address this as there so many horses that are made pigeon toed.

hi im from 2021

Horse Geometry

"Trimming" not "Triming"

no lol

Imma woop that fly in a minute... 😡

Turning everything into brain surgery please !

The frog sheds twice a year, there is nothing wrong with your horse.
