I am considering pads for my arabian. She has the arabian high/low in the front. However, I wonder if she needs it at all. Her right front (low) seems to grow outward in the toe quicker(it SEEMS) this hoof has a frog nearly level with the sole and it is very flat. Perhaps she should be shoed???
TY for you video. I actually use this technique for my horses rear feet. She is 12 years old and STILL kicks and bites when her feet need to be cleaned. Once the foot is up, she is fine. HOWEVER, I cannot hitch her and I fear she will hurt herself yanking her head away when I do this. She has already broke her halter. I need your help because regardless of how much we do this, she is very smart and when I am guarding from a front kick or bite, she kicks with the rear. The rear is a battle and I don't want her to be afraid. HELP!!
Stormin Norman “steve Norman” got to meet steve when i apprenticed for some farriers at churchhill n keenland! He’s a machine!! Hope he’s still around and well!
Liked this video a lot. I've seen the lead rope lift a few times but never with enough explanation of the steps . Nice job. Ps not familiar with the dude but 👍👍
I am so pleased to hear the section on the environment. A dry hoof is a healthy hoof i something I'm constantly telling my clients. I'll be recommending this video. Thank you
Please stress to them about preserving their bodies, medically retired from shoeing due to many injuries. Spinal injuries are no joke and are a career changer for sure!
Is CBD competition safe? I don’t feel like listening to an hour of this - my attention span has been corrupted by the internet. I don’t think it is competition safe, however.
Thanks for the Great video. Will you guys do a video about Cornell University Farrier Program, East Coast Horseshoeing School, or VT Farrier Program? I live on the east coast in the DC area.
Very nice and functional rig. Well thought out and designed. I know it is much less than a custom built one and he can get the job done. He probably saved $20k building it himself.
I'd love to know if that is the same Colin Smith I learnt my trade under. I'm a farrier in Australia and our trade school teacher at the time was a fella from the uk by the name of Colin Smith. Terrific fella and a incredible tradesman and teacher. Had a huge impact on the industry over here.
