My focus for this channel is to share what knowledge I have gained so far throughout my career, in hopes it either helps current farriers and horse owners, or possibly encourage someone that is interested in the trade to take the first steps to becoming a farrier. I’ll share what tips and trick I have acquired along the way, and hopefully I’ll learn some from the audience as well. A little bit about me, I’m an AFA Certified Journeyman Farrier and absolutely love diving deep into my trade while hoping to benefit horses and help them reach their highest potential in their respective disciplines.

Depending on the growth pattern this might be the approach you need to take to achieve the correct alignment throughout the cycle. #asmr #farrier #horse #equestrian #horseshoeing #horses
White line disease resection on a horse hoof
Переглядів 4,4 тис.7 місяців тому
There is a variety of reasons infections like this plague horse hooves, the tough part is finding out what those reasons are, the fun part is the hoof wall resection. This dressage pony battles white line disease in this same location on the same foot at least once a year. This void can be created in as short as 6 weeks between shoeings. #farrier #horse #asmr #equestrian #horseshoeing

How many times have you heard a farrier say “I don’t have X-ray vision” when addressing a horse with difficult feet to balance? Or a horse with very uneven high/low heel syndrome? Here’s a little trick using external markers to help balance both fronts without the use of X-rays. #farrier #horse #equestrian #horses

As you already know I'm a Fan of your video methodology - having a shoeing plan, explaining what you see to start and what you intend to do about it, and why. So in this case, no mention of the glaring quarter crack left me waiting for some mention. Granted, One can only fix so many flaws at once, and often, the most appropriate fix for one flaw potentially worsens another, but as Farrier's watching Farrier vids, obvious issues left out leaves the Viewer disappointed. Great stuff for non-informed horse Owners, but even a mention of possible future attention, like fullering the lateral branch for more support under the crack, or even rasping a float under it, etc would cover the lack of mention. I do recall you did one vid where you focused on quarter crack treatment...wonder if it was this horse? All that said, your didactic explanations are creating quality vids that are enjoyed and appreciated.
well done brother, thanks for sharing. great job
Can you explain why some shoers attach the shoe with heat? I apologize for my naiveness... Im genuinely interested and appreciate what you do.
The shoe isn’t actually applied while hot, it’s cooled before nailing it on. There’s a couple benefits to “hot shoeing”. Ease of shaping is one, and when it is burnt onto the hoof it seals parts of the hoof and will help the hoof maintain its structure in wetter environments.
What knife do you use, is that a Todd walker?
Tosaky forge. To my understanding he used to make the Todd Walker knives so they’re very similar.
nice work, i understand why you set the shoe back so far, i,m not so bold, maybe i will try it.
It’s very dependent on the hoof, sometimes feet can handle it and sometimes they can’t. Let the COR decide if you can set it back. Sometimes just picking a larger shoe to add more caudal support is a better way to go.
Nice vdo bro Can i ask a question How we fix long toe low heel with no shoe at all just barefoot trimming I am in a place where there is no one who can put shoes on horses please give me some advice Thank you
Régen láttam ilyen ügyetlen kezet !!!
great job! everything's very well explained
2 part epoxy works every time!!!
What product are you using?
Equilox
Can you do a video on how to balance medial lateral balance?
You did not use the term Mustang roll.
Why do you use a hoof knife to pick out the hoof initially? I would think that would wear out your knife too fast.
I use the back of my knife as to not dull the cutting edge I am usually only able to use a knife for about 8 months and picking feet with it doesn’t seem to speed that up much.
I kept thinking of the dentist.
Great work 👍 quality content 💪
JB weld works on everything.
Nice job❤❤❤❤❤
Forgive my ignorance, but what is this for? Thanks.
He will rasp it or sand it after it cures, will not be noticed at all.
The things we never knew epoxy was good for.

That's a Real 'Body Shop'...hee-Yah! Howdy, Howdy, Howdy!?

What causes this, and dose it happen often.
Usually it’s an imbalance in the hoof capsule that causes cracks. In this case this horse has a very asymmetrical bone in his pastern that causes some extreme overloading of the inside aspect of the hoof causing the crack.
how do you correct low heels? I am thinking perhaps my mare needs shoes but I don't want her feet to depend on the shoe and grow normally
I would love to send you some pics of my arabian. She has the high/low hoof; however, it is not that exaggerated. Yet, we have some problems going on. Her right front is her low heel. This is causing here to flare between trimmings because now her bars are growing out and towards the toe. Evidentially, she needs to be adjusted weekly because of the extra hoof wall growth. I need to know how to BOTH correct the high low and also how to get here heels in the correct place while encouraging her bars to grow straight and therefore not give her flaring. Is there any way I could send you some pics and get your advice? I cannot afford weekly trimmings at 50 bucks a pop. I may need to do this myself
I’d be happy to try and help via pictures and videos. If you’d like to send some to my email I’ll do my best to evaluate them and give you my best guess on what you could do to help. My email is westernstatesfarrier@gmail.com
If you're gonna go to all that trouble,why not take your time to smooth it out evenly, and make it look Nice
Quedó bien feo yo no quisiera ser caballo
Excellent no fuss video. Thank you for very clear instructions and well filmed demonstration.😀
What’s white line disease?
What's the material to fix that?
Appears To Be An Epoxy..like jb weld.
the horse can't feel it
Basahkan tangan dgn air bisa ratakan dgn tangan tidak lengket 👍
Ouch
That's gotta feel good
SuranWrap & Epoxy fixes anything !
Just like super glue, and duct tape.
Looks like epoxy to me

Why did you take so much of the sole?
@@kennyjohnson9178 If this was just an ordinary trim instead of a barefoot trim, the Western States Farrier should be willing to explain it
Awwwww... Feels soooo GOOD!!
That works really good ❤😊
Great work 👍💪
It's even color coordinated. 👍
This and a hack saw blade can be used, but use an older hacksaw blade. They are great shedding tools
I agree. I personally set the shoes back on a lot of front feet, stretched lamina, straight quarters.
Spektakuläre Arbeit und echt interessant aber aus Interesse tut das dem Pferd nicht weh 😅
Looks like bondo or JB Weld.
JB Weld is stronger.
