as a horse's hooves grow, the way their foot sits on the ground changes, the longer the hoof, the further back on their heel they stand, imagine trying to walk in a shoe that makes you put all your weight onto the heel of your foot at all times, and you'll get an idea of what this is does for the horse, the hoof is trimmed, and shaped to allow the horse's foot to sit nice and level on the ground as it walks, same as the shoes we wear help keep our feet level and well postured as we walk
People keep asking why don’t wild horses need their hooves trimmed. Wild horses wear their hooves over natural terrains. They aren’t kept in grass pastures or padded stalls. “That doesn’t make sense” hey look at your dog. Hooves are made of the same thing as nails. Dogs need their nails trimmed but wolves don’t. Because wolves wear them in natural terrain.

You need to go beauty salon supply store for example ( Sally’s ) Depends on your area. Better yet Lowe’s Home Improvement. They should have something for you. Just soak your feet in warm water for 20 minutes.
Try garden prunes or tin snipers or angle grinder or oxygen fuel cuting torch or jack hammer or c4 shape charge or you can kick ya toe on the chair in the dark

I am a Retired Farrier that has been asked by some of my older Customers to come and work their horses because of these so called Barefoot Trimmers, thy have really caused some terrible problems. I am 68 years old.
Because so many farriers mess up horses hooves. Owners are desperate to try someone or something else. Unfortunately a lot of “trimmers” don’t educate themselves enough
The key to this comment is the “so called” part. Here so called means incompetent. There’s nothing wrong with a barefoot trim when done by a competent trimmer. I rode barefoot horses for years without any hoof problems.
@@josephbailey4463 Horses back in the day would have never needed a farrier. We've bred out good footed horses in the past ~100 years or so because we like the look of smaller footed horses, which unfortunately has led to a lot of really shitty conditions like underslung, contracted, etc etc conditions which can lead to novicular or just shitty sidewall/tenderness problems overall. If you had the good luck to be able to ride 2 or 3 horses or whatever it was without any problem in your experience, you were lucky. The sad truth of the matter unfortunately is that the majority of common horses nowadays have terrible feet and need shoes to support them, which is why no matter how good of a 'barefoot trimmer' you get (btw a good farrier always "barefoot trims"), at a certain point they need specialty shoeing in order to be comfortable.
I’m so thankful that as a child I was taught how to trim and shoe my own horse. Something every horse owner should at least know the fundamentals of how to care for your horses feet
It's not comforting if you know a tiny bit about horses. I was cringing constantly just praying for this poor horse's soul. He would be taking the horse's whole hoof wall off if he ACTUALLY went that far.. It takes TIME to correct horses feet, not just one session. This guy got his degree from the farrier of dumbass. So did the one before this.
I took horse riding lessons for years, and I'm still terrified to pick hooves. The dirt is satisfying to remove, but it's can be very dangerous. I knew a woman who was cleaning her horse's hooves, and it kicked her in the face and killed her.
Ashley Sanchez Horses can sense when you are tense or afraid and because they look to you for guidance and reassurance they follow that feeling. They think, she is tensing up, is there danger, should I be scared too? They survive by running away from trouble. Work on your calmness and confidence, of course in a safe manner and your horse will respond in a similar way. I am sure you know this already.
Most farriers stick the hoof between their legs and put it on something. I know plenty of horses that lean getting their hooves trimmed more than I know if horses kicking people. But like other people have mentioned it's all about showing confidence and being confident, a horse can sense a tense or scared person and will naturally get scared and tense themselves as they're unsure, just like you are.
im not a farrier, but I knew that hoof was off the moment you brought it up. What the heck was their farrier doing? if this is on a 6 week trim, what was he doing? picking the hoof, trimming the tip and charging full price? sheesh!!!
seriously! That is why you either A. Watch them do it, or B. Check their hooves BEFORE you pay them. If I saw this after my farrier trimmed my horse, I'd pick up the foot take one look, put it down and look at the guy or girl and say "I'm not paying you one cent until you do it right. If you don't do it right, you're fired and I'll find someone who will do it right. You got 15 minutes. GO!"
I would send him away. If he can't do it right immediately, I can't do it right the second time either. How much does a farrier cost in the US for just a trim? I have 'my' farrier for a long time and this morning it only cost us 10 euros per pony. That's cheap btw, normally it's around 20 euro's. But I wonder how much it is in the US?
Man, what a great job on thoes hooves. I'm amazed by Farriers that know what there doing. My dad raised Quarter Horses and I never have seen that wire tool you used, is that something you devised?
DO NOT USE A HOSE CLAMP TO TRIM!!! It is NOT ingenious!! You use the hoof to tell you where to trim, not a circle!!! Not all horses are suppose to be perfectly round!
You see the same thing with cows, except we get those same people that know nothing about cows telling us how they should be cared for, for instance our vets can no longer carry a cattle prod, yet there are times that if you can not get them on there feet quickly they may never get up.
J. Ebus no real feeling except when they really stuff up like put a nail into the wrong spot but walking around with badly trimmed feet ca cause a lot of wear and tear on the joints which is very painful and may make the horse lame
Your nails don't hurt when you trim them. Dogs squeal because owners make a big deal over it so they get scared and some people don't do it right, instead of cutting it from top to bottom (the way the Clippers close) people cut left to right, which causes a pinching sensation down to the base of the nail (just like if someone were to squeeze you fingers together). Basically dogs a sooks because we treat them like babies.
Poor thing. I trust my farrier so much, they are absolutely amazing! My horses love him too, he always brings treats for them, homemade and everything. That hoof made me hurt inside. It’s so long, the toe stretches out way to much. It makes the frog look abnormally small, but I know it isn’t.
Well that makes a lot of good sense. It's like making your horse wear high heels with no support. The hoof has to be under the heel itself, not away. Now the horse will have stable support. I don't even know what I'm doing commenting on this video. I don't have horses. I live in the city. What am I doing with my life?
I'm curious as to how they figured out something was off with the "so called" farrier they were using. Thank goodness you came along to help this animal and your friends can stop being ripped off.
Well you can see how shot forward that toe is. In order to get close to a straight line I had too. The lamina was so stretched on this horse that you don't want him putting anymore pressure on that until it grows out.
As far as I know just fine. No news is good news. I know she road him the very next day without a hitch. I gave her the video of the complete trim with instructions of how to maintain him.
nice work and nice eye for the balanced hoof..my only contribution is that I would define the bars as well as take them back along with the heel as you did.That is to say leave a tiny bit of bar to encourage its correct re growth..it is afterall an extension of the hoof wall, not to be over emphasized of course as you are right its the sole and corn that do most of the weight bearing. IMO

A politely asked question by a polite person should always be answered! Horses in the wild are constantly on the move grazing. 15-20 miles everyday, which creates wear on their hooves. They're not standing around in a lush field of green grass, nor is someone dumping a big pile of hay in front of them.
Horses do need hoof trims because there hooves grow a lot some don’t need shoes but if your horses hooves are weaker they will need it and also on what type of sport you do with your horse. In the wild horses run on different terrains and it chips down the hooves
@@Lupita-eu2xu if the horse is healthy they will not need any shoes. Just take care of the horse and make sure it can graze all day long and there will not beany problems with their hooves. And also let them walk on rocks and roads not only the grass.
People always ask me why I know the most random things in general. Here it is. I don't know why this was in my recommended, but here I am watching a video about giving a horse a pedicure. I'll never be anywhere near a horse, but here I am......
Heliosvector well. the main reason humans do it to horses is to maintain their health. Horses in the wild can suffer from hoof deterioration, which if left to get worse will permanently cripple the horse. the worst case being that if the hooves fracture, they are as good as dead as they will be unable to walk.
Maybe back in the day wild horses had more room to run around wild, so their hooves were trimmed naturally by just running around. Domestic horses nowadays are kept in smaller spaces or confined fields so they don't have as much freedom , but they benefit from our care... sometimes
Horses in the wild don't have horseshoes. Which allows the hooves to wear down naturally. Horseshoes prevent the hooves from splitting and splintering with the added weight of a rider.
Yes it is soft tissue & will vary on consistency depending on how healthy it is. A healthy frog is very firm almost like a tire. The healthy frog has very tiny capillaries. When a frog has infection in it, more blood will flow to it enlarging those capillaries (this is when cutting the frog is really a no,no).
im.. conflicted. i work with horses myself for a while now and seeing how short that trim was... concerned me.. it looked like the freakin coronet band was touching the floor! if you asked me, the hoof before the trim was much better looking and safer than the aftermath. obviously, it was a little incorrect with the freakin holes in the hoof, and I kind of agree with the huge frog, that didn't look like it was trimmed at all with the other guy. i thought this video was going to show what a bad job this guy was doing, but then i read the comments and they're all approving? Like, I'm not sure if this is bad or good, since I do not know much about farriers or horse shoes, i'm still slightly new (been a year and a bit now since I started), so I just don't know..
My friend had a "professional barefoot farrier" come and trim two of her thoroughbreds about a year and a bit ago. They took off so much hoof that it caused both horses to suffer from farrier induced founder. It was so bad for one horses that she was heavily considering euthanasia because the horse could not stand due to how much pain they were in. However both horses are now recovering with little to no pain.
I am not a horse person AT ALL, but even I can see the "regular" farrier was screwing up. I have seen pictures of a properly trimmed horse. SMH Great video!
No idea what he's talking about, but i like watching people who know what they're talking about.

flounder2760 But wild horses also have a high chance of suffering from degenerative hooves, which if get infected/splits perminatly cripples them..

flounder2760 wild horses don't walk only on grass/soft ground like most tamed horses. They hooves wear off naturally.

I'd like to see you show more of your work so I could learn I understand a lot of it and you do before and after's please start showing this process
Whats not to get? Start at the front and dont knife the hoof, the frog is stretched forward so it isnt reality ok.
Simples! lol
Just me who thinks he sounds like he's had afew ? 🍻

People always ask me why I know the most random things in general. Here it is. I don't know why this was in my recommended, but here I am watching a video about giving a horse a pedicure. I'll never be anywhere near a horse, but here I am......
This farrier is awesome. 🤠
I don't know what I'm watching but its unsettling as fuck
So, what do horses do in the wild? whats the point of cutting their hooves? I actually dont know.
Heliosvector well. the main reason humans do it to horses is to maintain their health. Horses in the wild can suffer from hoof deterioration, which if left to get worse will permanently cripple the horse. the worst case being that if the hooves fracture, they are as good as dead as they will be unable to walk.
it would be like splitting your toes or entire foot in half.
Maybe back in the day wild horses had more room to run around wild, so their hooves were trimmed naturally by just running around. Domestic horses nowadays are kept in smaller spaces or confined fields so they don't have as much freedom , but they benefit from our care... sometimes
They run and wear it down as fast as it grows
Horses in the wild don't have horseshoes. Which allows the hooves to wear down naturally. Horseshoes prevent the hooves from splitting and splintering with the added weight of a rider.
as a person who don't know any horse terms this seems like a mad mans fever dream "frog, bowl, reality"
As a former horse this treatment feels so good! 🐴
What is the "frog"? In this video it looks like soft tissue but horse didn't flinch when cut back.
I'm not a horse person, so curious.
Yes it is soft tissue & will vary on consistency depending on how healthy it is. A healthy frog is very firm almost like a tire. The healthy frog has very tiny capillaries. When a frog has infection in it, more blood will flow to it enlarging those capillaries (this is when cutting the frog is really a no,no).
gorillaau its a spongy like part of the hoof the top part of the frog was dead and shedding so it didn’t hurt
Is he pist?
Sounds it lol
pissed*
Ben Street the real question is, do you know how to spell?
In America pissed means angry but he does sound drunk... So yes
A lot of people think that it hurts the horse but i feel like it feels good to them
It’s amazing to watch!
does it hurt to take that off. looks way better poor horsey
No & a lot less stress on this horses joints now.
Its like cutting your fingernails od assume.
Yeah it's basically a pedicure.
It hurts if you cut too far
I learned a lot about reality.
I never thought I would hear a man talk about finding realty while working on a horses hooves.
The first thing i thought "whoa thats a lot of hoof wall." XD
Excellent job!
First couple seconds is what I hope to see when I watch my life flash before my eyes.
just over midnight,... need to wake up at 5:30am and go to work and Im watching this video.. fml
I can’t even get over those bars
This is so satisfying to watch
So glad the owner came to you. Felt so bad for that horse!
Beautiful job.
im.. conflicted. i work with horses myself for a while now and seeing how short that trim was... concerned me.. it looked like the freakin coronet band was touching the floor! if you asked me, the hoof before the trim was much better looking and safer than the aftermath. obviously, it was a little incorrect with the freakin holes in the hoof, and I kind of agree with the huge frog, that didn't look like it was trimmed at all with the other guy.
i thought this video was going to show what a bad job this guy was doing, but then i read the comments and they're all approving? Like, I'm not sure if this is bad or good, since I do not know much about farriers or horse shoes, i'm still slightly new (been a year and a bit now since I started), so I just don't know..
Taking that frog off was so satisfying and I'm sure a nice relief to the horse.
My friend had a "professional barefoot farrier" come and trim two of her thoroughbreds about a year and a bit ago. They took off so much hoof that it caused both horses to suffer from farrier induced founder. It was so bad for one horses that she was heavily considering euthanasia because the horse could not stand due to how much pain they were in. However both horses are now recovering with little to no pain.
Zoe Davids I would have sued him.
I am not a horse person AT ALL, but even I can see the "regular" farrier was screwing up. I have seen pictures of a properly trimmed horse. SMH Great video!
Cutting off the frog 😦🤤 so fascinating! Horses hooves I pick out are never this bad which is great!
I havent been there to see my horse being trimmed yet so watching this will be cool! (Im at the beggining lol 😂)
Great farrier.
A natural.
Something oddly satisfying about watching a professional work.
stood like a champ !!!! seriously
Good lord! So glad I have human feet right now!
I know nothing about this and I don't know how I ended up here, but now I know I'm going to watch videos about it instead of doing my homework...
What a good horse
Excellent!!!
