This is such a physically demanding trade. The effort and energy required for this is tremendous. Thank you for your videos. 🇬🇧

Am I the only weirdo that loves watching the hoof trimming videos that has nothing to do with horses? 😆 I find it extremely relaxing and enjoyable, I assume the farriers back doesn’t feel the same!

Such a great cooperative horse. Classic Clydesdale

I am a 95yo lady that watches your YT channel and if someone asked me to not use plastic wrap I would run them out of my kitchen with a wooden spoon!

She seems to be a happy horse, I can see her grazing while you're working on her hooves.

I spent several years working for a farrier in the North Somerset Levels, England - and was most interested in what you said about the working life of your tools. In many ways, we had the opposite conditions to deal with; for starters, the soil in that area is largely peat, as it was all sea marsh until being drained about 400 years ago. Even now, if a cow runs across a field, you can the ripples spreading out from her feet as though she was running across a shallow green pond, and the water table is only a few inches below the grass! Annual rainfall averages about four and a half feet per year, so we were usually dealing with soft hooves rather than hard. A rasp normally lasted us 9 - 12 months, and nippers lasted for years!

It’s so ridiculous how people just insult and condemn someone because they, themselves, think a certain way. Grow up people! He uses plastic, so what! KZfaq warriors struck again. You shouldn’t even respond to people like that, because no matter what you say, they are never going to be satisfied, your wasting your breath. Ignore them and then they will see how irrelevant they are.

THANK YOU for speaking…..it is more interesting when you are explaining what/why you are doing something.

My Dad who was born in 1918, used draft horses on the farm as a young man. He talked about picking out the feet nightly and regularly dressing them with oily concoctions to keep the hoof in good shape.

People complaining about you using plastic while they type on their plastic keyboard or phone with a plastic case and heavy metal circuit boards. What a joke.

Thanks for the dialogue. Very instructive.😊

Thank you for another informative video. It usually drives me crazy to see a muddy area around the water trough, but your explanation made so much sense! She is a stunning Clydesdale! ❤️❤️❤️

Oh man, Your forearms must feel like steel , steel that is on fire after this amount of hard work. Incredible mix of science and art.

OMG, as an German professional horseman I'd never seen such bad and scruffy hooves like this. Toes splits all hooves and up in full size. Amazig farrier skills, hat off!

I know that draft horses are HUGE horses but seeing how big their hooves are in comparison to most other horse hooves is wild!

Saran wrap, yes he can't very well use Tupperware! Haha😅 Very good explanation, love the video.

You know what? Some people are idiots. We love u

One of our "cheats" for moisturizing hooves is the water tank thing. It does help...

Lakota is such a stunning horse, I don't think it's a problem at all using the plastic wrap, just as long as you despose of it correctly, another excellent video Caleb, love how you explain what you're doing, do you ever shoe draft horses, because I would love to see that, thank you so much Caleb, and take care.👍💙🐎

Can I just stop here and say, I LOVE how informational you are. These are extremely important things that horse owners need to know. I do not have horses YET, but I love watching your videos. I haven't found anyone that talks through it with us like you do. You mentioning overflowing the water troughs is something I have learned a couple months back. I love it! Don't stop with the commentary because it's informational, and that's what people need! Regardless of the know-it-alls, everyone needs to learn something new!

A dying trade that deserves so much admiration for all the finite steps for the various conditions of the hooves you work on. Quite the admiral trade. It's not just about the feet, but the care, welfare and the personality of these horses. Thank y ou

what you do is so fascinating...I really admire the work a farrier does... thank you for sharing your expertise...and your knowledge.

I love how to explain everything, good job.

I love how you are a wealth of information! It helps people like me, that really don't know anything about farrier work, really understand what you're doing. I really like the longer videos too. I would love it if you could show the horse more. Lakota is beautiful, but we only got a glimpse. Anyway, keep up the good work, and buy new nippers!!

This the first time that I have seen someone use the support while cleaning up the hooves. Good job and support😁

Excellent work, great trim, and love your commentary. Thanks

Wow! I can SEE you struggling with the nippers. I hope this was the last of the day so you can rest your hands.

Caleb: Nice job on the trim, does give the hands and forearms quite the workout. I to have a draft horse and he always breaks off in the same spot as Lakota. Have you ever thoughr or used the "Hoof Boss" or a cordless grinder? Both have helped me with hooves that are rock hard. I still use my rasp to finish. As far as the saran wrap plastic issue, people complaining about that is laughable. Its not recycable, the local landfill will only take certain plastics and the volume that you use compared to all the Starbucks plastic lids is a mere drop.

You are very informative thank you for being so gentle with these babies

Found this from out of nowhere and all I can say is... Crunchy crunchy crunchy

LOVE DRAFT HORSES GREAT JOB 🥰🥰🥰

I love watching farriers hone their craft. I just subscribed because you explained what you were doing. I have ZERO IDEA what you were talking about, but I enjoyed it! 😊

Thank you for repeating over and over the same thing. I really appreciate your passive aggressive smack down of your apprentice. You the man!!

Good teaching. Blessings to you.

Lakota is a beauty...great job of trimming Caleb. God bless you and yours from Yuma Arizona.

Great video as always! Lakota is such a calm, sweet horse!!

You work so carefully Thank You Sir

Just found your channel, and I subscribed. Educational, interesting and . . . relaxing. Looking forward to seeing more. 🍻

Good video. Thanks for sharing 😊

Thank you for explanations as I don’t know anything about horses 😂😂 but now learning , it’s very interesting job and physical too , love your videos and thank you , it was a beautiful horse wow 😍👍🏼👍🏼🇨🇦♥️

Thank you for all the info you give us in your videos

Thank you for taking care of the horses hooves.

Driving down I75 one day I passed a new cabin cruiser being towed. It was completely wrapped in saran wrap, to keep it dust free I imagine. After that, I didn't obsess over my personal usage of plastic products!

I saw in a horse trimming school video that they used a blow torch to help soften dry hooves.

Those hooves are looking good. 😊

It's interesting how people judge a professional and tell them how to do their job. What you do is your business they should keep watching how you work . I have found over the sixty plus years I have been around , to watch and learn from the professionals . Then do it yourself and then you will understand why things are done in a certain way and for what reasons. Ask questions , be polite and be mindful of who knows the job best. Thank you for bringing us along . I find draft horses amazing. I learn something new each video. 😊

You do a great job of Farrier Work Caleb! I really appreciate your videos!

Learned how to ride a horse before I rode a bike. Last horse I rode was a quarter/draft named big guy. Had to stop riding because of injuries from being a Marine. Great videos ❤

Hi I'm from Ireland such a sweet horse she knows you are helping her

More Clyde’s please! Keep up the good videos! All of the horses send you a big thanks!

Very instructiv video! Thanks a lot 😃

Nice work. I enjoy watching your videos

Heat your tools &/or hooves with a torch. They'll peel away so beautifully. And perhaps instruct the client to moisturize hoover for a couple days before in the water.

Thank you for explaining your method and reasoning behind your you work; it sure makes it easier to understand for a person that has no idea what it takes to perform this service. question. is there not a "Power tool" you can use for a job like this? seems like I wouldn't be the first to ask that?

Use to look like a giant mushroom 😮 The horses are lucky to have you!

Beautiful work.

That looked like hard work! I was surprised what a short life some of your tools have, are you able to have them refurbished or do you have to get new ones?

These draft horses have always intrigued me with the size of their hooves.

I love the videos with the 2 feet in them.

Threw that apprentice right up under the whole damn bus huh 😅😅

This is so interesting. I learned a great deal.

Great job! When the picture of the hoof was shown it looked like a face of a demon 😮

i love Lakota ❤ and your videos of her! hopefully you’re not too annoyed with your apprentice……..😬❤🇬🇧

Had a very similar looking hoof i had to trim this morning. Not a draft however, just a Percheron.

The people complaining about plastic and seran wrap are the same people that will throw a protest over the fact that there are horses and animals that actually do work. These are the same people that barely work themselves and have probably gotten their only blister when doing their yoga pose incorrectly. They don't understand the fulfillment of having purpose, and of blood, sweat, and tears ending in pride of a job well done. They've been brainwashed to think seran wrap and farmers have brought on the end of the world. Just ignore them and move on

I could see the horses head So relaxed so happy

I love how calm and trusting Lakota is.

Those maxi flex gloves are so awesome I use them in the electrical trade. I havnt used the cut resistant gloves yet but I’m going to

Ahh former veterinary technician here so fascinating about this!

Caleb, I love watching you trim and shoe horses. This clip was very interesting because she's a draft, wow she's got some feet❗️❗️ Quarter cracks alway freaked me for fear of it traveling. Did you say by taking off the side wall that helped? Thank you

Good job on the plastic wrap. That’s a big bugger all right🇨🇦👍

My recommendation: I have been comparing and watching the videos from the Far-East trimmers ("overgrown hooves - donkeys") who succeed in treating the sole "in seconds" because they work with a huge knife (but all of them ignore the frog). If you want to give some moisture to the hooves you could put a canvas hood (awning, tilt, German: "Plastikplane") into the empty box, then some buckets of water and then put the horse there for some hours - of course before trimming.

As for the oils you mentioned, would Neets Foot Oil be recommended, or are it's properties too archaic?

Curious about two solutions to dry hoof trimming and prevention: Would a Dremel tool be better for dry hoof trimming instead of an undersized Knipper? Also, is there a type of sealant for hooves to preserve the hoofs moisture and integrity?

Awesome job!

We started polishing our rasps on a buffer to really hone them sharp and extend their useful life by 10 times or more ! They're sharper, work better and easier !

great video ! :) ...i wonder if using a sander/grinder in combination with or instead of a rasp would help as well as be more cost effective...ive seen it work for some farriers...less vibration on the horse ...have u tried it? 🐎

Can they feel any of the cutting and pulling in the center of their hoofs?

Man, when the nippers have a problem cutting through that, it’s dry. Oh I just subbed.

Aweeee she’s watching you, I’m feeling she is a love.or he.

God bless you 🙏

My nail tech does a mustang roll, too. 😆

Hmm...i never thot of using plastic wrap on feet. Our horses got scratches several years ago...i wonder if it would have helped... Rolling the toe also helps w/ breakover...😊

Lakota is gorgeous.

What is the reason for not using a grinder

That's a big horse and those hooves are huge! lol

what do you do with your dull rasps?

I was taught that the outer coating of the hoof holds moisture in the hoof and not to touch it . Also is there any point applying oil dressings to the hooves are they actually absorbed

So what does the horse feel while your doing this ? Obviously it doesn’t hurt them but is it like a tickle or do they not feel anything?

Harassing you over your Saran Wrap choices! That’s hilarious. 😂😆 What a horse to stand like that while you did your thing. Great lil’ video.

very cool

Is it best to use manual tools or electric?

I live in a very dry climate-my horse's hooves get very dry. I feel sorry for the farrier trying to trim her is arduous. What if anything can help with the dryness?

Keep up the good work😊

One of my Shire horses has long hooves and a wide white line. The angle of the hoof is too shallow and needs to be remedied. I see you using your clippers at an angle of about 45 degrees to the hoof wall. I can do this but worry that the white line will be exposed?

How do you know when you reach the sole of there feet?

when the hoof is dry like that can't you wet it to loosen up debris and make it easy to trim?

Thank you love watching this

Never thought i'd see iron defeated by hoof

Those are some old man toenails right there.
