HOOF BUILDING PRINCIPLES | Frog Trimming & Continual Development
“The frog is a cushion for the horse and should not be touched” was a statement that was made a couple of decades ago that somehow became a rule for most barefooters and was even adopted by many farriers. Makes sense, right? The bigger the frog, the better the cushion. The problem is, it didn’t solve very many lameness issues and the practice seems to cause more distortion that leads to more lameness. “Leaving a protective layer on the frog” is also a very general phrase. Horses won’t commit their weight to the back of the foot if it’s not shaped correctly. I trim off the hard dead retained frog tissue and smooth it down to the outermost insensitive ( but supple ) layer to give the back of the foot optimal comfort for load bearing. When the horse is comfortably applying the correct amount of weight to the back of their foot they move better and build soft tissue. This creates a beneficial cycle of development and performance.
When the frog is trimmed at just the right layer it re-callouses within minutes and maintains a dynamic but favorable position above the ground for the duration of the trim cycle.
In order to hold myself accountable for making improvements, I don’t train horses to stand, I don’t tie them, and I’ve never had to sedate a horse for a trim. They can always have their foot back...and they can walk away if they want to. When they like what I’m doing they come right back. This creates a horse that free and able to express themselves through movement.

    What was wrong with the frog? It looked very healthy before the trim of it.

  • @anne-grethemichaelsen5789

    Why take so much of the heels? Horses were born with heels for a reason.

  • @anne-grethemichaelsen5789

    If nature gave horses heels, why cut them so much?

    I wish there were paths like this for riding here in Bavaria! There are so many gravel paths and tarmac here. Shards of brick lie in the ‘forest’ as a fortification. There are no paths like in this video...

    If youve ever done a dissection of a 'retracted sole' you can see how little depth of sole you have to play with. Millimetres under p3.

    Why do you leave the heels and bars that high? You could trim it more so it would be more comfortable.

    It's so nice to see someone trim with the "Goldilocks" level of heels. What do I mean by that? I mean... they're just right. I had one farrier who left my horse with waaaaay too much heel, to her detriment, and one who trimmed off so much that she left her standing on her frogs and just about nothing else. You handle heels so beautifully!

      Usually anytime another Ferrier is knocking the previous Ferrier because of the imperfections in a hoof that’s overgrown it’s a sign of insecurity that they have in themselves, I’ve been a Ferrier for 40 years and I wouldn’t even call that a trim job he’s doing, he needs to evaluate his own levelness

      This horse is not blind- its a fly-mask. They can see out of it- no, you can't see into it from outside (if in light-you can't see into dark...but you can see iplight From the dark). Hope thst helps

  • @sidilicious11

    I absolutely love your style of trimming, especially the back of the heels and back of the frog. The whole trim mimics photos I’ve seen of how a wild desert horse wears their feet.

  • @wendydavies1301

    Looks like he needs shoes to me, and looks like he is being used a lot. He is like a hoover, hoovering all they hay up behind you. 😅

    • @shmeeden
      @shmeeden Рік тому

      This horse has very nice feet, and he's sound in his 20s without shoes. This is an extremely skilled barefoot trimmer who can do a lot more for this horse than shoes ever could.
