Congrats on getting a sponsorship Caleb! You have been a really good spokesperson for them just by using their stands in your own practice. I’m glad they reached out to you and sponsoring you now! Well deserved!!

That was a great breakdown of what you were accomplishing in this video. Most ferriers I watch don't speak on what or why they are doing or treating a hoof in a certain way or shoeing it. They just don't talk. Mahalo and Aloha for the schooling !!!!!!

I like how you explain what you’re doing and why you’re doing it, and how that all relates to the end result. Well done!

I don't own a horse or even live in the countryside, but I find these videos interesting. I like that you explain everything you're doing.

Really interesting and informative, as always. Yours is one of the most enjoyable channels for farriery, for me at least!

My only experience with horses is being the husband who cleaned all the stalls and corrals when I was married to a woman who knew a lot about horses. We boarded them and she provided training to those wanting to learn to ride. I provided the cleaning!! lol But watching your videos brings back the memories of watching the farrier who would come out and clean all the hooves. I was fascinated watching him as I am now fascinated in watching your videos. I know if I ever did own a horse I would be very comfortable having you do his hooves as I see the care and expertise you put into each horse. Great job; great video.

I really like how the Ferrier explains & talks about what’s happening.

We need some gait videos before and after with these big ones man!

Yes! Before/after shots would be great! As a horse owner, I really appreciate the explanations for what you're doing. The more people know, the better for the horse.

Right on. Thanks, m’man. Great work

Looks great. I know you showed the bottom before your work. Do you think next time you do a long trim you could show how the horse was standing before and after. Great channel, I really enjoy the videos.

Why do these vids bring a type of satisfaction ? For some reason I love watching this process...

I love these stands, Caleb!! They work fantastic when training a youngster for a farrier to work on them. By youngster, I mean foals and young stock in training. I have never had a problem with training a foal with these stands!! Your friend, the Retired Paramedic and Horse Trainer in Ontario, Canada, Jenn 💖 🇨🇦

I love watching videos of hoof cutting🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

Looks so much better. Thank you for sharing.🐴

That was awesome. Just started trimming barefoot a year ago. Learned plenty from watching you work. Thank you

That half-profile on the second foot really is the perfect angle. The only thing that could have improved this video is seeing the mare walk away on her new hooves.

Very interesting to watch how you trim and explain what your doing. Thanks for sharing.

Very helpful and descriptive video. I would love to see part 2 with a comparison and update on the hooves' progression.

The penny dropped for me with this video!! I now know what your reference point is for how to determine hoof length. I would like to know how much frog should be touching the ground though. I guess you have to be level on all sides. My Ferrier says that the horse has 5 hearts…one heart pumping in each foot and the main one pumping in the chest. I suppose I could have ascertained the frog position after being told that but I didn’t.

Thank you. Very informative video. Would love to see the horse move afterward so we can see how it impacts their balance and gait.

Such good information. Thank you so much. Glad she's in your care.

It occurred to me that an analogy for understanding how the hoof grows *forward* instead of *down* would be when, as a kid, you outgrew your shoes. The heel of the shoe would start creeping forward under your foot as your toes pushed forward. The flare would be the sides of the foot pushing the sides of the shoe outward, until the side of the shoe-sole are actually pressing on the sole of the foot itself. Wait too long, and your heels are actually hitting the ground behind the heels of the shoes - ouch!

I thought you were cleaning a shovel out for a second there at the beginning...

Such a great job as always Caleb, I actually got up close to a beautiful draft horse on the weekend, omg!! They're way bigger in the flesh than on your videos, now I'm 5'9 and I could walk underneath his head without bending over, such gentle giants, the size of their hooves is just amazing, I had respect for you trimming them, now I have even more respect for you after seeing him, thank you very much for posting Caleb, and take care.👍💙🐎

Beautiful work! Love your videos 👍

Omg you are magnificent explaining everything m g you do. I wish you were here in Northern calif 😊

As usual Caleb interesting and informative. I know this horse feels much better after you worked on her hooves! ❤❤

Great video and commentary as usual Caleb. Love your explanations.

Great video as always, love this channel, always learning something new

There is something so soothing about watching a horse get a pedicure. I feel like I'm soaking my feet in hot water in a massage chair. Horse spa day!

You did an amazing job, I'm sure that horse is so appreciative. Keep up the great job. You do an awesome job explaining everything during your videos.

Great job!👍👍👍🐴🐴🐴

I appreciate your easy to understand explanations

Great job again Caleb! Stay safe bro

Amazing work !

enjoyed seeing both hooves trimmed

❤❤❤ so relaxing 😌 😊😊

Very nice work you always do a good job 👍

love your explaining and describing what we see. I have been trimming my barefoot horses for 8 months now, figuring out what and who to follow, lol. Underrun heels and long toe on my old stb

Great commentary!

Learning alot 😌 ❤

Great work

Thank you for your videos. Subscriber

A very nice video Caleb. I have seen a lot of my father’s horses, and those of other friends. It is an interesting science of correcting those things that went wrong, either from genetics or environment. I am now down to a full brother and sister pair of Standardbreds that are nearing twenty. Dottie always needs just what you showed here. Sonny has run with Dottie, and has never had anything more than a pick used on his feet. Having a broken back, requires some scheduling of her work on my “good days.” Watching you work, does help when those days come together. I thank you. Where was the trimmings pick up dog?

Nice 💕

Great video, I would love to see the horse walking after the trim. ❤

Love hoof videos, got a question, are the rear hooves just as important as the front in relation to tendons etc.

I just came across this page recently, but I love watching Hoof GP do cows, so it was an obvious step. Graham always talks about how sharp his knives need to be, but you're using yours to dig out dirt and sand and rocks from the grooves on either side of the frog, then trim with it. Do you ever have issues with the dirt dulling the knife or are horse hoofs easier to cut, somehow.

Well done

Love your videos, would be interesting to see the horse en race walking after a trim. ❤

Hi Caleb, this video was super helpful to me. I am just starting to try to trim my own horses, and one of them who is new to me looks a lot like this. I didn't know enough about hoof care to realize this horse has probably been under-trimmed his whole life. Do you have any tips for people with less upper body strength and small hands? I'm finding that I just can't get big enough bites with my nippers, especially when the job looks like the one in this video.

Horses are trusting...and they have memories that elephants envy. You bet they'd remember a farrier that made them sore!

Hello from ireland ❤❤

I guess when I was trimming and shoeing, I did what you're doing in this video by instinct! I would never have been able to explain it like you do! Thanks for helping others! (And where can I get one of those hoof stands? -- I still trim my ponies, but now that I'm an octogenarian, I put the animals in stocks.)

Love watching farriers’ work. Whats the reason you kept as much heel on as you did?

Wow you had a bad break on your arm. Dude, I bet you in pain. You did a fabulous job. Those feet look better. I don't know anything about horses. 😊😊😊

Nice work. How hard is it to learn

Idk how they do things in America but in the uk the owner is expected to keep the horses hooves clean and dry for the farrier, it's not the farriers job to clean the horses hooves!

I would love to see the horse take a few steps or so before and after.

at 0ne point you carve the frog down how does that affect your gauge when nipping?

Buenos días cómo estás? Me gusta lo qué haces y tengo una duda porque no utilizas herramientas eléctricas o de batería No sería más fácil y rápido el trabajo y menos estrés para los animales? Es solo una duda!

I once took 4" (100mm) of a single hoof. Horse limped into the yard, he trotted out.

i can't figure out why farriers don't use power tools like the cow hoof trimmers do. a grinder would seem to make fast work of removing hoof and eliminate the need for a rasp. think?

Question: what state are U in?

Why don’t farriers use a carbide grinder the the cow hoof trimmers?

What happened to your left wrist?

do you find any difference in trimming long hooves on horses vs ponies?

Why is the frog called a frog? Is that the real technical term for that part of it hoof

Why isn’t the owner keeping the horse shod properly or at all? That certainly didn’t happen overnight

like who named it that?

10:11 I cannot understand what you are saying because the rasping noise drowns out the narration. Interesting video.

I wish you could go to China to help those poor donkeys

sounds like it means that the sun got hurt

what the heck is solar bruising

✌✌✌

what happened to the abcess?

Longer videos please .... at least make it 20 mins long.

These hooves are stupidly overgrown. I don’t know why you aren’t more blunt about this.

This comment is meant to try to help you so please consider all aspect of this criticism. Think of the idea that length is from the top and depth is from the bottom the heel go to the widest part of the frog the center of the coffin joint is at the termination of the bar. The heel had alot of depth the toe not so much its our job to preserve vertical depth the bottom of the coffin bone is concave the soal should also be concave you took an excess of vertical depth at the toe and didn't bring the heel back the the widest part of the frog your proportions were off from the center of articulation of the coffin bone which should be at least 50 50 if not 60 40 and left alot of length in top of the foot. Try to remember distortion goes all the way to the heel so dress the foot all the way to the heel. These are mistakes we have all made getting with a CJF in your area and going through AFA certification would really help you sort these things out. Keep up the good fight.

Owner of this horse should be ashamed to let her get so long......be a responsible owner.
