HOOF BUILDING PRINCIPLES | Frog Trimming & Continual Development
“The frog is a cushion for the horse and should not be touched” was a statement that was made a couple of decades ago that somehow became a rule for most barefooters and was even adopted by many farriers. Makes sense, right? The bigger the frog, the better the cushion. The problem is, it didn’t solve very many lameness issues and the practice seems to cause more distortion that leads to more lameness. “Leaving a protective layer on the frog” is also a very general phrase. Horses won’t commit their weight to the back of the foot if it’s not shaped correctly. I trim off the hard dead retained frog tissue and smooth it down to the outermost insensitive ( but supple ) layer to give the back of the foot optimal comfort for load bearing. When the horse is comfortably applying the correct amount of weight to the back of their foot they move better and build soft tissue. This creates a beneficial cycle of development and performance.
When the frog is trimmed at just the right layer it re-callouses within minutes and maintains a dynamic but favorable position above the ground for the duration of the trim cycle.
In order to hold myself accountable for making improvements, I don’t train horses to stand, I don’t tie them, and I’ve never had to sedate a horse for a trim. They can always have their foot back...and they can walk away if they want to. When they like what I’m doing they come right back. This creates a horse that free and able to express themselves through movement.

    What a nice baby! She was a good girl. This guy is much more patient than my farrier

    I have never seen a frog that hard. It's like rock.

    What was wrong with the frog? It looked very healthy before the trim of it.

  • @anne-grethemichaelsen5789
    @anne-grethemichaelsen5789 2 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Why take so much of the heels? Horses were born with heels for a reason.

  • @anne-grethemichaelsen5789
    @anne-grethemichaelsen5789 2 หลายเดือนก่อน

    If nature gave horses heels, why cut them so much?

    I could be wrong, but I thought I saw a little spot of seedy toe on that front left (second hoof he did).

    Nicely done! I appreciate that the trimming is done at liberty giving Mickey the opportunity to choose to stay or leave if needed. Excellent narrative and teaching of what's happening with the hoof and how to work with it.

    Every time I watch one of your videos I learn something new to look out for, like the frog being plumb or not. My horse and I thank you.

    I wish there were paths like this for riding here in Bavaria! There are so many gravel paths and tarmac here. Shards of brick lie in the ‘forest’ as a fortification. There are no paths like in this video...

    If youve ever done a dissection of a 'retracted sole' you can see how little depth of sole you have to play with. Millimetres under p3.

  • @anne-grethemichaelsen5789

    I have never seen a farrier/barefoot-trimmer so patient, with such a kindness, patience, good communication with the horse!

    If you are not a farrier you don't have to know, I draw the imaginary line and do the job usually every 8 weeks

    From watching too many corrections to horses feet, I wonder if this is a kind of self regulated profession? Buy the equipment and you are in business? Please say NO.

    This is very helpful! I have a very similar mare, also a Rocky. I’m curious if this guy twists in the rear. I’ve gotten improvements but this might help me get the rest of the way. My girl really wears laterally on the rears.

    thank you for posting this. I don't think it is legal in the Uk to do this if you are not a farrier, which is a shame.

    Why do you leave the heels and bars that high? You could trim it more so it would be more comfortable.

    So envious of where you get to ride. I have been lucky to have ridden in AZ a couple times. Still dreaming of getting back there.

  • @shmeeden
    @shmeeden ปีที่แล้ว

    It's so nice to see someone trim with the "Goldilocks" level of heels. What do I mean by that? I mean... they're just right. I had one farrier who left my horse with waaaaay too much heel, to her detriment, and one who trimmed off so much that she left her standing on her frogs and just about nothing else. You handle heels so beautifully!

      @tyhroneskyles4873 6 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Usually anytime another Ferrier is knocking the previous Ferrier because of the imperfections in a hoof that’s overgrown it’s a sign of insecurity that they have in themselves, I’ve been a Ferrier for 40 years and I wouldn’t even call that a trim job he’s doing, he needs to evaluate his own levelness

      Do you mean the fly mask? They can see out of if, its made of mesh.

      It looks like a light blocking mask for horses with trigeminal neuralgia

      This horse is not blind- its a fly-mask. They can see out of it- no, you can't see into it from outside (if in light-you can't see into dark...but you can see iplight From the dark). Hope thst helps
