To learn more about hoof trimming, please check out my full online course here: myhorsecoach.com/courses/hors...
I trimmed up Mr. Wilde today on all four feet and took video of working on the front left. The rest are about the same and this should give you an idea of what it takes to trim properly to the internals of the foot. I want to note that I haven't touched his feet at all since I last trimmed him. This is his second trim of his life!

I'm glad I'm not the only horse owner with a horse that likes to take his foot from you

it happens all the time to the majority of horse owners.

I picked up a Percheron draft a couple of months ago and we have been working on his feet a lot. I will never need a gym membership again!

He's really taken to the whole idea of trimming quickly. Maybe because he feels better when it's done? This is excellent information! 😊

@StableHorseTraining 3 жыл бұрын

That's the idea. I think there are a lot of horses out there that feel worse after and as such don't want people touching their feet. I think it only gets easier as time goes on if there are a series of good trims where they come away from it feeling better.

He stands still for you like a champ, amazing after such a short time with him. Love him! And his feet look really good for being unkept until now. Really says alot for no metal horse shoes viewpoint. Love that.! Thanks for your time and very informative videos, awesome as always.

Very nice to see that you can trim his feet and do filming! Good job! Hearing your knife scratch over the hoof or small stones I wonder if you can (or already did) give some tips how to sharpen a hoof knife. My sharpening is always somehow not satisfying...

@StableHorseTraining 3 жыл бұрын

I did do a video a while back but I'm not sure where it is. It was a livestream... I'll see about doing another one. I'm not the best at it overall, but I can get them pretty sharp. The trick is to sharpen often!

I have a question Graeme. I am under the impression from what I read and see (e.g.Samson, the last chance mustang..) that wild and ferral horses, fighting for their survival have their senses and perhaps, intelligence, more acute than well treated domestic horses, established, fed and secure in a sort of routine of protection and availibilty of food resources. The way the Mustang you trained 2 years ago and Wildie today, proves that once they trust a human and feel secure, they understand quite quickly what to do and expected from them, what is safe and not safe, without trying to escape, bite or kick man after a time of habituation. How do you feel about them compared to the adorable domestic pet horseys ?

@StableHorseTraining 2 жыл бұрын

I'm sorry I missed this question from you. I believe you probably know my answer by now, but just in case I would say that I much prefer to train wildies than domestics and have found they are more trusting and maintain that trust once established. Domestics seem to carry more baggage around I think.

Thank you! Excellent! Also from the most part does this take the place of Farrier visits, if the hooves are doing well? My question is, do you the trims with your tools replace a Farrier trim?

@StableHorseTraining 2 жыл бұрын

Yes, this is not just a maintenance trim. The trim on this foot is a full trim.

Hi Graeme, do you think our horses feet are tender after trimming? Some people at my agistment say not to ride straight after your horse has had their feet trimmed. Thanks Lianne

@StableHorseTraining Жыл бұрын

If your horses are sore after trimming then it's a 100 percent failure on the trimmers part. A horse should simply never be sore, especially AFTER a trim. Before makes sense but we trim to make horses feel better, not worse.

Are they only for taking out bits of frog and bar and a larger, separate nipper used for walls? I find it difficult to trim bars and frog with a hoof knife and it looks like this would help a lot.

how comes the horse doesnt have shoes?

@StableHorseTraining 2 жыл бұрын

Horses don't need shoes. Shoes are an invention from a very very very long time ago and there are far superior methods and technology nowadays to protect their feet if they need it.
