  • Sometimes horses' hooves get let go longer than they should! That's the case with this fellow. As you can see by the old nail holes he had shoes on that kept his feet in tact while growing to a length that would normally break off for his size and shape. In this time lapsed video, I take you through the steps of my evaluation and method to restore balance and support to overgrown hooves. To learn more about me, and/or to schedule hoof care services in NY's Hudson Valley or Capital Region visit: www.AndrewElsbree.com and send an email to set up a time to speak about your horses' needs.

    Have no interest in horses but just spend an hour watching videos of hoof trimming, so satisfying.

    Last week I watched some videos on scythe lawn trimming and this week it's horse hoof trimming. I don't know what this means but I like the undiscovered path I'm taking.

    One of the best videos I've watches on trimming. Andrew perfectly describes the correct process. This is exactly how it was taught to me by Ada Gates, a famous first licensed farrier in Monrovia California.

    It is quite obvious that you have experience and know what you are doing. It’s good that you explain what you are doing. I have watch others that do the same type of videos. However, they don’t explain. All they seem to be wanting to show how fast they are . “Look at me I am so fast and magnificent!” I wonder how many horses the hurt being Mr. marvelous. It’s a pleasure watching you help the animal and allowing us to understand. Thank you

    really liked the commentary. I wish that this was a 20 min video though so that it could include longer segments of the actual frog and sole relief and just longer segments of the trimming process as a whole. Also wish for HD, but really enjoyed the video despite what I wish was different. Super informative of process.

      @KmRessler 7 років тому +6

      The purple is a liquid topical put on horses feet to treat Thrush and has gentian violet in it, which will stain the hoof. This horse looks to have fairly bad feet at the moment and they were probably treating him for Thrush.

  • @GoodRedBlackRatio
    @GoodRedBlackRatio 10 років тому +37

    Well... I was with you, I loved that you took those bars out. So many leave them layed over. But then nothing was really done to address the flaring, there is still leverage acting on the toe and pillars, they should have been taken way back. I was also so happy you weren't dressing the entire hoof wall - then you sanded it. I don't understand why that is even still in practice - it just removes hoof wall for the sake of looking good. It hides the hoof's history, you don't see laminitic rings or signs of damage... by the time that hoof wall has grown from the coronet to the ground it has been sanded at every trim. Esthetics over function is all it is, you weaken the wall. The central sulcus was left nasty.... the white line is stretched... I know I know, everyone's a critic...

    • @taintedinkpress
      @taintedinkpress 9 років тому

      Agreed.

    • @Luv2dance902
      @Luv2dance902 8 років тому

      I don't think he would sand the hoof wall on a regular basis, I think the wall was very sharp and jagged , but I know what you mean.

    • @kpotter78
      @kpotter78 7 років тому +3

      GoodRedBlackRatio I agree that the hoof wall definitely doesn't need to be sanded. But I know I heard him address the flare on this foot. Maybe you just missed it. The sulcus of the frog doesn't need to be messed with much unless it's way overgrown or has obvious thrush. All in all a job well done. I'm sure that horse will thank you, Andrew. That medial crack looks like an injury that's always gonna grow down like that- just accentuated by redicously long feet.

    • @GoodRedBlackRatio
      @GoodRedBlackRatio 7 років тому +6

      He rasps the outer hoof wall down to make the angle of the flare match the angle he wants the entire hoof wall to be - that is aesthetics only. By taking that approach you at thinning the wall in that area, weakening it, further allowing it to flare out. A flare needs to be addressed from the bottom of the foot by taking downward pressure off it it, which is what caused the flare to begin with. He made it look like there was no flare, he did not fix the cause of the flare.

    • @juliejenkins2376
      @juliejenkins2376 6 років тому +3

      GoodRedBlackRatio I agree,....ultimately this horse was left with way too much toe, as well. I feel
      Like a lot of farriers/trimmers do this so they are called back more regularly. I'm not saying that is the reason this guy did it, I'm just saying that some farriers do it. Also putting a mustang roll/bevel on that toe would be a massive help.

      @millykay3209 6 років тому

      Well yes they still can feel it but It isn’t painful.
      It’s not only the frog that has feeling. They have Laminae in their hoof which is soft spongey flesh that surrounds the pedal bone. So if you cut the hoof too far in it can be very painful for them and it bleeds a lot.
