We will love you if you help them learn. I’m a farrier. I have a lot of patience and I’m happy to be apart of the process… but if someone else doesn’t want to handle their horse’s feet, I don’t really want to either. We are a team. Let’s work on it together.

Thanks Jonathan! I know all this but I’ve gotten lazy. I needed the reminder of letting the horse have some responsibility too

Great advice and techniques to know. I have a belding that snathces his front hooves from me way too often. Watching your training , I now know that he needs more training. Thank you. It is appalling to me how many horse owners go from trim to trim and never pick up the hooves to clean them between trims. Education like yours is key.

Great Stuff!

Thanks for sharing your experience and expertise with everyone, there really needs to be more of these done.. and the way that you kindly set his hoof down when you’re ready, well that’s just so much more calming for them too it’s the way I’ve always done it. They remember all , and the little rhythm with you’re hammer is such a cool idea and this is also something that should be practiced every single time , we give it back to them. but back to them remembering they know you as soon as you get out of your truck, so if it was a bad thing well then you just made it another tense day, but if you have the chance to always make it a better time each time thing’s will be easier for all. So again thanks for helping horse owners learn the importance of this working with your own horses hooves is a responsibility that every single horse owner needs to Do and if you don’t know how ask someone who you know to show you because. If you don’t and the farrier gets there man they have a lot of other animals besides yours , so sometimes we get in a hurry and do things faster than we would normally do and it’s a wreck waiting to happen. So at that point we are basically done something wrong is about to happen or already did and it’s finished in the time the horse rares up and comes back down like in my case.. Not the horses falt mine… So I thank you for your help with this problem, this is your first video I have seen so now I have subscribed to your channel and I have to see what other great info you are sharing. Sorry for the long wind but it is really important. Thanks again….🙏

Great video. My farrier will love you.

Thank you for posting this.

Thanks for your video. My horse is still young 4 years.. and I am trying to practice this. But he pulls back his leg and gives a kick. He tries to pull the leg out of my hand. Any advice for this. And he always gives a kick when I let the hoof go.

Brilliant!

Excellent suggestions. It's not the farriers job to train the horse to stand and pick the feet up.

Thank you!!! I just rescued a horse who had foundering/laminitis issues. And shes been awful for trims.... Not sure if she still has pain as she heals. But boy-howdy is my ferrier not a fan of her. Im going to try these things, i appreciate all the thought you put in your videos, i have subscribed for more! 😊
