Jeff Phalen, third generation farrier, gives insight on how to properly pick out a horse's hoof and apply an appropriate hoof conditioner. www.phalenhorseshoeingsupply.com and www.soundhoofcare.com
Don’t do it like this guy I mean he’s doing it right but don’t go that fast because you can accidentally pick the horses frog witch is sensitive and don’t drop your horses hoof like
I don’t usually say this but.. I do find this very satisfying! But also, you should never just drop the hoof like that or pick aggressively! The frog is quite sensitive and you might hit that part while picking his hoof. You can also see that the horse was in pain when he said “aggressively” he picked up his leg and tried to move it away.
Løser weeeeellll...I do agree you shouldnt just aggressively pick it and just drop it like he did, but I dont think the horse was in pain. The frog can be sensitive when you cut off too much or it has something wrong with the hoof not just from picking it out.
The frog isn’t as sensitive as people believe. Trust me I’ve learnt this, I used to believe it was so sensitive you can’t even go over it with a hoof pick, you can you just have to be a little light handed compared to everywhere else, if the frog was that sensitive farriers wouldn’t be able to touch it let alone trim the frog. Obviously if you stabbed the frog it would hurt the horse big time but it’s not so sensitive that you can’t touch it with the hoof pick.
whenever i ride my horse, i always ride him in our "muddy" paddock. it rains non stop so all the dried mud goes in her hoofs. when it's time to groom, it very hard to pick. can you make a video on how to pick dried mud from horse hoofs? thanks!
OKAY DUDE LITSEN never be aggressive with the frog it is a very sensitive part of the hoof when you pick the frog it feels like when your clipping your finger nails to clip the skin and don’t just slam the hoof down put is down gently.you should know this by now it’s one of the very first things you learn when riding.
Berenice Guegan no you dont, but if you horses hoof is really dry then you could put it on every once in a while, you dont have to but you can lol I'm not an expert farrier or anything but I do know a lot about horses and stuff but yes you can but I wouldn't put it on every time you pick it out cause you can put too much moisture in the hoof its like watering a plabt dont put too much or you could drownd it
Those2equinegals ! The hoof is not indestructible and when being aggressive you can easily damage the frog or hoof walls. You are NEVER supposed to aggressively groom or handle any animal. Hoof picking should be done at a moderate pace with a firm hand.
@@those2equinegals846 Sure. Scrub the fuck out of your skin and rip the shit out of your hair each time you brush it. Aggression in not part of CARING for the needs of an animal. You can firmly pick a hoof but if the horse flinches or moves you risk serious damage by being so aggressive. Just because 'its fine' does not mean it's right.
Exactly what I was thinking. Not only can it startle the horse, it can also hurt them. Just because some of you do it.......doesn't mean it's the correct way to do it.
You're a rider remember that. Your not a farrier. I do agree u don't have to be so rough with it. But the going fast doesn't scare them. They can't even see how fast ur going and they cant feel the pick. Unless they have a super bad Case of thrush.
Lol no it's not just practice. Pick before u ride and after u ride. Makes it easier and try to pick everyday. Will help prevent alot of problems like thrush
J.R. Spingly HEY! People that talk to animals aren't retards! Animals like horses like the affection sometimes like talking to a dog. Yea you can just make a sound and they will come to you but talking to them makes them more affectionate
"Jeff Phalen, third generation farrier, gives insight on how to properly pick out a horses hoof" - HA HA HA. No he doenst. Insight? Properly? He looks like they just picked a man of the streets, so rushed and then just drops the hoof and splatting conditioner on the hoof. Looks like a child playing.
This is not coming from a rider. This is coming from a farriers apprentice. They do not get startled by it. I've been under more horses then u have even thought about riding. Never had one get scared by letting it's leg go
Watch is so many times LOL~ It's so enjoyable watching that bedding fly out
i already know how to pick out a hoof but... i HAD TO WATCH BECAUSE ITS SO SATISFYING

I'm no professional farrier but I put conditioner on twice a week :)
Dont pick so harshly, you could hurt the frog. If you dont know what that is is that little triangle in the hoof and its very sensitive.
I want also to learn how to care and handle horses...
Don’t do it like this guy I mean he’s doing it right but don’t go that fast because you can accidentally pick the horses frog witch is sensitive and don’t drop your horses hoof like
I agree and don’t do it to aggressively like he said but still do it hard enough just not too hard
The satisfaction is real!
that guy looked blazed afff

Also he should have stood closer to the horse so that he can be less prone to being kicked
I don't even own a horse but I just like things like this lol.
I find these things satisfying

SARISFYING....Oh my lord..I'm not hating, but one thing I noticed was aggressively picking, I mean, you don't have to do it aggressively, no hate!
Shannon Jordan yeah, there’s no need to aggressively pick it!!
Why is he so fast and rough with the horse? Like god dang he went at it with the pick and it made me cringe a little
S C U M B A G They actually cannot feel it, so it’s actually better to get it done quickly so that you don’t have to hold up the good too long
CZcams I've never watched a video about horse hooves in my life.
Please stop recommending them to me.
0:20 FUCK YEAAAAAAAAAAAA
Why was this in my recommended 8 years later
❤ Amo
I agree
Why I am watching this and I don’t have a horse 🐎
cool
Its basically cleaning out a finger nail
Seems more like an add to me !
CAUTION this video contains ear rape content watch at own risk
2018?
do you have to put the conditioner after every time you pick?
thanks

رئع مشهد رائع لي تنضيف رجل الحصان 😍😍😘😘🙌🙌🙌
this is so satisfying
But if you horse is sensitive
Wait you only pick one hoof?
أحسنت جيد والى الامام دائما
Is it true that horses are better off barefoot? Seems like I read that somewhere
Not when they ride a lot, especially in rougher terrain.
It’s way more natural
It depends on the horse don’t shoe them unless your horses vet says you should
At this point i feel im a professional ive watched like 6 videos
personally I would never drop the hoof nor would l ever pick out that aggressively
bree.equestrian well the horse obviously didn't care
im just saying...some beginners will try and do this to a horse that will NOT tolerate this.
U don't aggressively pick out hoof
Jamie Mae i know right?! I was just thinking that I was like...idiot😂😂 and he just dropped the hoof like it was a spider😂
Jamie Mae ya you aggressively pick it.

Moose Padaleski I do. My horse and my friends horse is fine

your not suppose to drop the hoof yoursuppose to gently sit it down so the horse does not get startled just sayin
Brianna Baxter You wanna eat it's ass too? 😒
Brianna Baxter it wont startle him. I do it with my horse all the time. Hes fine
Exactly what I was thinking. Not only can it startle the horse, it can also hurt them. Just because some of you do it.......doesn't mean it's the correct way to do it.
Oh, okay! This helps me out a little! Thanks
Liberal for ya
Mmm
Maybe be a quick slower, being quick can scare them, and you don't have to be so agressive picking. Just don't scare the horse.
You're a rider remember that. Your not a farrier. I do agree u don't have to be so rough with it. But the going fast doesn't scare them. They can't even see how fast ur going and they cant feel the pick. Unless they have a super bad Case of thrush.
MaddieTheEnglishRider :D agreed
Nice video, we uploaded a How to Pick horse hooves video today aswell =D
I believe that if you do it aggressively it makes the horse feel uncomfortable, and you aren't supposed to drop the hoof
It's harder than it looks😩
Lol no it's not just practice. Pick before u ride and after u ride. Makes it easier and try to pick everyday. Will help prevent alot of problems like thrush
X
Please dont go this fast!! You can hurt your horses frog!!
vkgcji
why don't they ever talk to horses?
J.R. Spingly HEY! People that talk to animals aren't retards! Animals like horses like the affection sometimes like talking to a dog. Yea you can just make a sound and they will come to you but talking to them makes them more affectionate
J.R. Spingly I'm sure a horse would have a more meaningful and intelligent conversation than you.
Well I do
