I’m sorry Caleb, but I couldn’t help giggling through this video, he certainly did make it as hard as he could for you, but, I think he was playing you, just like a naughty bored kid😂gee wizz that was hard work, great job though, thoroughly enjoy your videos, thank you for being so patient with him, and thank you for posting, take care Caleb.👍😂💙🐎
I appreciate your patience with this rascal of a horse. I must admit i was giggling throughout this video, not necessarily at you, but to the horse, talk about having his own mind. I am quite sure he knows what he is doing, and loves it.. I love it! :) Good work, you kept his feet happy even though he is a pain to you! Thank you for sharing!
I don't know why I watch these videos, I know nothing about horses, but it is really relaxing and satisfying to watch, especially you explain the whole process, and learning what you people do with shoeing. Thanks. Australia.
He is a natural comedian Caleb. Just cannot help himself in front of the camera. Knowing he irritates you makes him think he is doing his part in the movie 😁. Great job and thank you!!
I marvel at the work you farriers do. The horses that have been exercised first seem to give the least amount of trouble. After watching a farrier work I wonder if there is a nice hot tub waiting for you...makes my back ache just watching these videos. BTW...good job with a difficult horse.🤗
One thing that helps in work that keeps you bent over for long periods, is a good chiropractor that understands your work, and says come over, we will work you in.
@@robertqueberg4612 Oh, I bet! Probably like lawyers...keep one on retainer. Still at some point the chiro is going to say..."man, you need to find another line of work". (maybe).
Yep, basically dealing with a 1200 lb brat. Had a horse do that and made sure to work him before the trim , it helped but it's still tiring no matter what.
I was watching a farrier do a horse like this. He goofed around so much that the farrier lost his patience & slapped him but good w/ the flat side of the rasp. Strangely enough, he straightened right up!
I feel your pain my friend. I have been shoeing my quarter horse for 20 years now and he is the exact same way. It feels like I get a little shorter after each shoeing! It really sucks when its hot and humid. Keep up the nice work.
Have you tried to give him a hay bag to work on while you are trimming his feet? or some one to hold a lick while trimming? Just a suggestion. Love your work. Great job even on a active horse!!!
Horses and kids. It seems that we only remember the two extremes of behavior. I have heard of “sure-fire” cures for this type of behavior. A long piece of duct tape stuck to the nose as a distraction, to my best friend’s uncle biting the end of a mule’s ear off to make it stand for shoeing. That was before Mike Tyson was born.
This is me and my daughters horse. Mine is such a prick! My daughter passed away from cancer at 16. We bought him as a 2 year old, he's now 19. He was owned by all men, 4 owners before us! My daughter through her treatments, and an allograph trained our horse alongside a very well known trainer. He is so f'n light, leg and seat, side steps, and my daughter jumped him in a bosal. Son of a bitch prick knows better. Thank God mine isn't shod, he's got very nice feet. Sorry but he drives me crazy and yep, exhausting!
Another great video! Thank you for a longer version, I do feel bad that your friends horse misbehaved so much, but I am glad you were able to complete it. Is he like that with his hind feet as well?
Geez, what a tiring video to watch!! And I just got to the barn and am waiting for my farrier to arrive for my 2 four year olds. They are due for a trim, and 1 needs shoes put on as he's getting foot sore, even just doing groundwork in the arena. He has very little sole depth to him. So shoes for him for sure. The other one is doing great and has tons of hoof. I hope you have a great weekend, Caleb!! Best Regards from your friend, the Retired Paramedic and Horse Trainer in Ontario, Canada, Jenn 💖🇨🇦🇺🇲
Horse was defo doing it on purpose, he knew you were frustrated. Animals are so incredible, almost like they have a 6th sense. But you did well and did the job, even with lots of physical exertion.
I had to smile when he about knocked you over!!! I had a buckskin mare that hated, let me reiterate hated men! We’d have to catch her up the night before the farrier was due! I think she could smell him coming, lol, she’d act a fool - I hated we’d have to twitch her!! Needless to say, was hard to find a farrier. 😂
I hope that your buddy appreciates what you have done for him I know some farriers that would just pack up and go home rather than work with this horse.
Is the DIM the same stuff my dentist uses to make a casting of a tooth for a crown? I hate that tray, I always feel like gagging when it's in my mouth.
I watched a video where the farrier couldn’t hold up a foot cause the horse kicked and moved too much. He put a 6 inch piece of duct tape on the horses nose and it stood still for him. I wonder if this is true.
Caleb! Why WHY is this horse lickin the doggoned WALL!? He's either a sweetie or nuts or super thirsty lickin the sweaty wall! Yeah? Whatever, I like this horse! You're ver patient! Thank you, arthur b (Ngai)
I have a big TB mare who I barefoot trim. She is very difficult, I mean very difficult for my little 5’4”, 110 lb self. After years of studying equine behavior, I’ve learned thee is no such thing as a jerk horse, a bad horse, there’s only a horse speaking in the only language he knows….behavior. So, I used a positive reinforcement training method to help my painful mare be able to accept the hard part of standing on three legs long enough to let me trim and balance the foot!! It’s taken some time, but the end result is less time, less stress, for us both. I click and treat frequently when my mare offers a good position, and I might click and reward that effort 1000 times in the course of a trim, in order to reinforce the positive aspects of a difficult, even painful task.
Awesome but that's not my job lol that's the owners job. And unfortunately there are some horses that don't stand because they are untrained or because they have been allowed to be an asshole. It is not always because of pain
@@caleberickson_The_Dying_Breed well, ok, the behavior may seem “jerk”, but it’s honest, the only way a horse knows how to communicate behavior. Yes, owners need to understand equine behavior and learning theory!!❤️
Try putting a roughly 6 inch piece of duct tape on the horses nose running down the middle and hanging off the muzzle. It distracts them.might work, I've seen some really bad horses stand perfect doing this.
He’s a stinker but he does have really poor caudal structure. I wonder if it’s harder for him to stand nicely, even with a shoe on for support when his foot has the issues that it does. Not pointing fingers or anything. Just observing.
I have a few horses that like to throw me around and jerk it away. What I do to let them know that they are being jerks is put a chin chain on and through the halter run a small rope back to my elbo so I can let them know they are goofing up at the exact second. With those kind that is the only way to talk to them.
If this horse has trouble standing while you shoe him, maybe it's because it is uncomfortable for him, maybe he has a sore back or an arthritic joint. Has he been seen by a vet or a body worker? Horses do this for a reason and not just because they are being "bad". Give him the benefit of the doubt. Maybe put his foot down more often, you are holding it for quite a long time.
Theses kind of horses you can just see them drop that shoulder and just lay on the farrier, makes me very angry . I have just stepped out from under these critters and they literally fall over sometimes, makes them stand up and pay attention .
I'm sorry! I was laughing! I've had horses and totally respect how difficult it is to shoe horses and truly appreciate your craft. What he needs is the rasp slapped on his belly to get his attention to behave. You're right. He is a jerk!
My god, who left the horrible scar on your left inside forearm? That is some gnarly keloid scarring. Can't you hobble that horse so you can work on him better?
What a brat. 😂😂😂 I have a horse that likes to pull our farriers hat off. He also loves to try a to pull his shirt off over his head, ruffles his hair with his teeth, etc. Of course this is a horse you never bend over with your back to him when you’re trying to do something because he’ll come up quietly behind you, put his nose under your butt and lift sending you ass over tea kettle. He’s our practical joker. He has a whole repertoire of annoying tricks.
The owner needs to get somebody to hold the horse, maybe stick a bucket under his nose, at least scold him when he's a brat...If he knows better, then he needs a come-to-Jesus moment...
Had a 6year old mare like that,you gonna make me stand on three you going to work for every cent she was beautiful appy but stubborn made the ferrior cry

10:24 This is the first time I ever laughed at a hoof trimming video. What a character! Thanks for the giggles.
I snickered when you mentioned language in the video. Your voice is so even and calm. ❤ He's a stinker

Nice work, thanks for explaining why you use certain shoes on certain horses. Always makes sense when you’ve explained it.
I know nothing about ferriers or horses but i find it interesting.
Man what a tough customer that horse is.
That guy gave you a good workout 😅😅. Really enjoyed the longer video, great stuff.
Yep, basically dealing with a 1200 lb brat. Had a horse do that and made sure to work him before the trim , it helped but it's still tiring no matter what.
Beautiful job
That horse sure knows how to push your buttons! LOL
im not gonna lie, him giving youj a time and kicking his little hooves on the stand was all too funny 😂😅
That horse sure made you work!😂 What a rascal!

That horse was a real pain in the behind!! I was impressed with your patience and professionalism.
Thank you
Sounds like you need a cattle crush for horses like him. 😆
Another great video and commentary. Thanks
Great job and explanation of how and why, thanks!
Have you tried to give him a hay bag to work on while you are trimming his feet? or some one to hold a lick while trimming? Just a suggestion. Love your work. Great job even on a active horse!!!
If its a lick, as soon as he pulls his foot away, the lick goes away. Soon he will stand and be happy with letting him have his feet.

Oh dear, you did sound exasperated! And who wouldn’t have been….🙄 Thanks for a longer video, and as always a really interesting commentary.

I'm sorry but, hahahaha🐴🐴🐴Good job with a very troublesome patient!👍👍👍
Awesome job
😂 I like that horse already
Another great video! Thank you for a longer version, I do feel bad that your friends horse misbehaved so much, but I am glad you were able to complete it. Is he like that with his hind feet as well?
Why don’t you sedate him?
You’re tool are so sharp! Very interesting. Victoria Australia 🇦🇺

Doing a good job
Aww he's just a playful 1200 pound boy❤😂.
Better living through chemistry Man !
Lol he’s a special horse 🐎 had me laughing
It's the nicest thing I could come up with
My best friend, that's a great video. I will always cheer for you in Korea I'm looking forward to a great video. Have a nice day.
الواحد مش عارف يقول إيه احن واجدع اخت في الدنيا ربنا يبارك فيكي سبحان الله شوفي بعد ماكنا إيه أصبحنا اخوات مش مشكله المهم افضل أطمن علي اختي
I take it this horse would be " riding the short bus"
Wow that was hard work, I know nothing about horses or their behaviour but would it help if he had some hay or feed to distract him while you worked?
Lol 😂 some horses are just meant to be stinkers. You can’t help but love them. 😂
Such a stinker this one is!!! You are so patient with him.
Why are you adding the dental impression material?
How do you know when to use it?
Maybe he was licking some walls with lead paint on them.
Horses are like people the are even jerk horses!
I learned to shoe on horses like this one. A bunch of dude horses in Estes Park .
i had a horse like that but he only did it to one Farrier that he really didn't care for lol
I love weird animals
I hope that your buddy appreciates what you have done for him I know some farriers that would just pack up and go home rather than work with this horse.
Yeah I know but he'd do it for me so it's all good
❤️❤️❤️
Is the DIM the same stuff my dentist uses to make a casting of a tooth for a crown? I hate that tray, I always feel like gagging when it's in my mouth.
feed him a little marijauna, lol.
Why don't you use calming paste?
Why do you cut the heels down so far?
He just makes you earn your money
I’m thinking that this is the horse that was eating the paste glue in kindergarten… 🙄
😊 Lord next time this man has to deal with this horse, let the horse be an angel. And the horse not be so hard on this man. Amen.
What kind /brand of Hoof knives do you use?
I use a jhforge short belly
What’s this horses name!!? 😂
Ps you’re awesome, love your videos
His name is Jack
Loved the video
I feel your pain.
Of course it’s a farriers horse 😅
Take that boy to the round pen and work him when he does not want to stand, he will soon learn standing for shoes is better than working.
I watched a video where the farrier couldn’t hold up a foot cause the horse kicked and moved too much. He put a 6 inch piece of duct tape on the horses nose and it stood still for him. I wonder if this is true.
I've had only marginal success with the tape it doesn't do a whole lot in my experience
He's not wild, he's not mean, he's just a dork! I just watched a guy in the UK (Pete) get kicked so I'd say you're ahead of the game.
What about putting him in a stock?
It would be great unfortunately I don't have stocks
And i tought my horse is a brat 😂
Nice work. But holy cow, that´s one nasty scar. Don´t tell me it was a horse pulling job from your hands, with nails unringed...
No I actually had several scars in that area from nails but I tore 2 tendons and the surgical scar Coverd them all up
To me it’s amazing horses accept this at all😅 You don’t give a feed or something meanwhile?
Caleb! Why WHY is this horse lickin the doggoned WALL!? He's either a sweetie or nuts or super thirsty lickin the sweaty wall! Yeah? Whatever, I like this horse! You're ver patient! Thank you, arthur b (Ngai)
😂😂😂😂 funny,naughty ADHD teenager horse

@@caleberickson_The_Dying_Breed yes, sir, I agree it’s the owner’s responsibility to train the horse.

He's just contrary.

These are the ones that physically wear you out…. And cuss… a lot 😅

There's usually a reason why horses do what they do. Inflicting pain doesn't solve issues

Mine is like this for the farrier due to having arthritis is both back hocks. It explains their action but doesn’t make it any less annoying.
This horse has been checked out throughly. Bottom line is there are assholes in horses and people. He's this way because it was aloud for years
Lol. It's a game for him. He's a brat. And he knows it. Maybe it tickles.
😂
I’m sorry, this horse is cracking me up. He’s a big brat! 😂
Theses kind of horses you can just see them drop that shoulder and just lay on the farrier, makes me very angry . I have just stepped out from under these critters and they literally fall over sometimes, makes them stand up and pay attention .
Try the duct tape on nose to distract??
A little ace would help that horse, or the owner ride the crap out of him before you get there. I love the PLR’s
