    Wonderful trimming! I started trimming my own horse a little over a year ago, and can definitely agree on how much WORK the rasping is!! Because I do her myself, I tend to do weekly touch-ups with the rasp, and even rasping that little often has me dripping sweat. Another nice thing about doing weekly maintenance, is I can leave that "extra" material, because I know I'm on top of things, and it will never get overgrown. So I don't have to pare her down to try to make it last six weeks. I have also found that keeping her frogs trimmed up has almost completely eliminated the thrush she was always having, back when I had a farrier who never touched them.

    It must be so hard to know there are horses you have worked on who need continuing help from you and for whatever reason the owners don't bring you back. I had such guilt when my farrier came a week or two later than usual -- and I had darn good reason because I traveled! I respected my farrier as much if not more than my vet. No hooves No horse. I was blessed with horses who could go barefoot but I made it a priority to keep those bare feet in tip top condition. I taught them to stand in a bucket or tub to soak in water if I didn't have a creek to soak them in. That made such a difference when the farrier came to do his magic. Great lesson and video.
