Just did my first grinder trim on my 23 yo walking horse. After taking some time for both of us to get used to it, I am hooked. I have been trimming my horses for 14 years and I find that my older ones really lean on me to help balance their weight. The less time they have a foot in the air - even on a stand - the better for both of us. I am in NC and I have nearly passed out after a hard trim due to the heat and pain. I was worried that I would have less control with the grinder, but I use a wide range of power tools every day so it felt very natural and easy to use. As I get older, the grinder is going to make my life so much better. I look forward to more time loving on my horses and riding and less time trimming.
I wish you could tell us the grinder and pads you are using. Thanks for the video. Love your chaps and pink hoof stand.
I agree with filing the hoof wall making me bite my nails. I am an HCP and follow the practice of not filing the hoof wall outside the bottom 1/2" max, as to not compromise hoof wall integrity through gradual thinning due to repeated wall rasping. Otherwise, thank you for the video! Looking to switch to using a grinder especially for my draft clients.. thanks for sharing, very educational!
hi there, I have been taking distortion from the top of the foot for over 20 years this way and have yet to see the integrity of the wall compromised from doing it. What I see is that the new growth coming in is straighter, and I get rid of distortions faster than if I let it grow out. Being in a very wet environment, the feet I see get excessive flare until I trim the bending tubules this way, then the foot gets more compact. Lots of different ways to solve problems with horses. :)
Have you ever tried to use the Hoof Boss? I was thinking to get a smaller grinder like the Bosch 12v , any experience with a smaller grinder ? I am a profesiannal farrier trying to ease my work at least for draft and old horses
Excellent video Daisy!
Thank you for sharing once again xo
Would you please tell me which grinder and accessories you would recommend that is on the lighter side? I’d love to try the grinder but not sure which to use. Thanks
Yes of course! All the grinder supplies I use are here: www.amazon.com/shop/daisyhavenfarmschoolofintegrativehoofcare/list/B7SZOUM2TLUC?ref_=cm_sw_r_cp_ud_aipsflist_aipsfdaisyhavenfarmschoolofintegrativehoofcare_43E9M1EPD8448CMF5656
I work with cattle and never understood why farriers don’t use grinders like we do. I guess maybe our disc would be too aggressive. Happy to see someone in your industry isn’t killing themselves doing everything with hand tools.
It makes a HUGE difference! Agree with you 100%
yeahhh a new video...such awsome work !!!... aghhh got to get me a grinder..makes it look so much easier ... scares me but could maybe practice on a piece of wood or something ..was looking at the Bosch 12V Max Brushless 3 In. Angle Grinder 3 in discs ..small and light weight..would this be safer ffor beginners?
I haven't tried the Bosch....looked for it but couldn't get the sanding discs here in the US. Maybe it's available now. I should look again! Where are you located!
@@DaisyHavenFarm I'm in New-Brunswick CANADA ... ok will also look into the discs ... I thought we could get 3" discs anywhere?
i am a farrier, and i am looking into powertools for at least big hoofs or old horses. I am debating in between the hoof boss and the Bosh 12v,. have you tried the bosh 12V yet? if so what do you think, ? enough Power? what about battery life spam ?
Im having a hard time understanding or seeing what is happening at toe pillars ... seems just doing a strong mustand roll all the way around ??
There's actually a transition there, an angle and height change that gives the horse protection so it's not dropped right onto his sole. You're right it's hard to tell from this straight on angle.
What kind of wheel are you using? I need to do mini feet that are really hard and that would be excellent
This is a flat sanding disc, 24-60grit, that uses a separate plastic backing plate.
Nice 😜🌸🌸🌸
Thank you!
What type of grinding discs do you use?
They are flat sanding discs used with a plastic backing plate.
Hey Daisy where did you get your arm guard?
It's an archery guard from Etsy: www.etsy.com/listing/483619705/woodland-brown-leather-arm-guard-and-3
What brand of grinder do you use?
My grinder and associated supplies are all listed here: www.amazon.com/shop/daisyhavenfarmschoolofintegrativehoofcare/list/B7SZOUM2TLUC?ref_=cm_sw_r_cp_ud_aipsflist_aipsfdaisyhavenfarmschoolofintegrativehoofcare_43E9M1EPD8448CMF5656
Nice job, but I admit that I still cringe a little when I see you filing the periople! The old veterinarian that taught me a lot of what I know would never let his students do that unless there was a deformity. Just saying.
The periople is only at the top of the hoof, and comes down about 1cm. it can get overgrown, or water saturated and change look and form as well. My feeling is if the wall is distorted below it, and in addressing the distortion we remove a bit of periople, there's plenty left!
@@DaisyHavenFarm thanks, I'll consider that.
Clearly a ghost rider horse as his hooves are made of steel.
Clearly!
