Amazing how the horse stands still while you do this, I can't even get my daughters dog to sit still during a bath.

That was hard to watch, I have no problem with you trimming your own horses because you have the right to screw them up, but dont get on youtube and act like this is an educational video on how to trim horses just because you saw it in a book somewhere. A good farrier is in constant pursuit of gaining knowledge on equine mechanics and anatomy, and if every horse and every foot are different, then how is it that you know more than someone that works on 10,000 feet a year?

@thehappyhoof MY gelding shed his frog after he got a nail stuck in his hoof .. when I pulled he was lame but after about 2 weeks he shed-ed the frog completely off.. it grow back and its good now..but its because of massive trauma I believe.. its a way for the horse to fix its self.. I also had a friends horse shed its frog because it was fully dried out, due to the lack of rain and when we got lots of moisture it fall off and regrow.. hope that helps.

I've been doing my own horses for the last 4 years and I have to say I prefer it.. I don't have to worry about a farrier coming out and my horses being lame for a week because they take all the hoof wall off!.. my horses have been sound, happy and unlame!!.. great way to trim so natural and your horses will thank you.. take off the shoes and let it go natural like nature intended.

yes you can trim your self but dont use this vid to help. theres lots out there cjf s (certified journeyman farrier) all follow similar protocal agreed on by leaders in equine care. They arent out to profit off of trends,they are hoof doctors and use facts to solveproblems. roy bloom is a good guy to start with
Your Knife is way to dull. You know enough to be dangerous to your horses and hopefully not other peoples horses. Stop while your not sued. V/R BM2

@boats2000 Yeah, I can understand why you'd say that in watching this video I made over 3 years ago. But tell me, is a "sharp knife" all there is to it? Even with my limited knowledge at the time I did this video, what I'm doing is FAR LESS damaging than what many so called professional farriers with sharp knives do. You have no idea what it really takes to sue someone over something like this, or you wouldn't have said it. Hope you come to learn more about the hoof than you do the law.

@boats2000 After visiting your channel to see just what you're into since it tells a lot about a persons character and intelligence, am I really suppposed to take anything you might say serriuosly, since it's obvious your head is only full of having sex, big boobies and the "F" word. Is that what you put in your head on youtube on a continual basis? I would say please repent and turn to God and get your mind and life cleaned out before it's too late.

My third horse came from an abusive home when I bought her. She had pretty bad hooves. A lot of things to say about her condition at the time, but one thing I noticed was her frog was shedding massively. There were tufts of frog sticking out everywhere. After a while it disappeared. Why do frogs shed?

@Nizingur Sorry but not sure why they shed, but why don't you research it and let me know.

@animalrights800 You don't have to go to school to do it, just take a lot of time and care to learn hoof anatomy, and trimming tecnique, have the tools learn to use them etc. And most especially learn the right tecnique. There are books by Pete Ramey that can help you. But the important thing is to educate yourself pretty thoroughy. But many, many people are now doing this, even old women like me and young girls like you. You could do it.
