    I used to be around horses alot, riding and I even owned a horse 10 years ago. But I had a traumatic event which made me recoil from everything horse related. And my brains hasnt even been able to think back on it at all, its completely shut out everything horse related so I have forgotten everything I knew about horses, which is sad cause I learned sooo much, I was obsessed and tried to soak in every little bit of knowledge about horses. But recently I got back into the interest of horse completely unexpectedly after a dream I had, and now I suddenly love them again. I found the passion I had when I was younger. And I want to thank you for making these well instructed videos. When I see you do it, it all suddenly comes flowing back into my mind as if it never left, its so natural. I hope I can overcome this fear and trauma and get back into horse life again. Im trying to learn it all again, its like Im starting all over again fresh. Its kind of nice. Thank you for these videos

    Nicely explained ! And yeah so many owners expect their Farriers to teach their horses to pick it's feet up ! Mainly as so many owners can't pick their own horses feet out ! This from a UK farrier with 35 yrs experience .

    I started riding 4 years ago, and I was ALWAYS afraid to clean their hooves. It was scary to me. I got my own horse, and during summer I think i'll be ready to be brave and do her hooves. Thank you for the video and information!
