Last week I watched some videos on scythe lawn trimming and this week it's horse hoof trimming. I don't know what this means but I like the undiscovered path I'm taking.
One of the best videos I've watches on trimming. Andrew perfectly describes the correct process. This is exactly how it was taught to me by Ada Gates, a famous first licensed farrier in Monrovia California.
It is quite obvious that you have experience and know what you are doing. It’s good that you explain what you are doing. I have watch others that do the same type of videos. However, they don’t explain. All they seem to be wanting to show how fast they are . “Look at me I am so fast and magnificent!” I wonder how many horses the hurt being Mr. marvelous. It’s a pleasure watching you help the animal and allowing us to understand. Thank you
Absolutely love horses most of the time I have trimmed my own especially since I moved to Oklahoma from California I have not put shoes on them. My 23 year old son has asked me to show him how to trim due to I have had an injury to my back that is healing I told him to bring up some videos thank you guys for putting these on their great
really liked the commentary. I wish that this was a 20 min video though so that it could include longer segments of the actual frog and sole relief and just longer segments of the trimming process as a whole. Also wish for HD, but really enjoyed the video despite what I wish was different. Super informative of process.
Beautiful work your doing sir 😍👏 and a patient well trained horse loving your work too 😍🥰❤️ I got same education in Norway but only using it on my own horses 🐎
Well... I was with you, I loved that you took those bars out. So many leave them layed over. But then nothing was really done to address the flaring, there is still leverage acting on the toe and pillars, they should have been taken way back. I was also so happy you weren't dressing the entire hoof wall - then you sanded it. I don't understand why that is even still in practice - it just removes hoof wall for the sake of looking good. It hides the hoof's history, you don't see laminitic rings or signs of damage... by the time that hoof wall has grown from the coronet to the ground it has been sanded at every trim. Esthetics over function is all it is, you weaken the wall. The central sulcus was left nasty.... the white line is stretched... I know I know, everyone's a critic...
GoodRedBlackRatio I agree that the hoof wall definitely doesn't need to be sanded. But I know I heard him address the flare on this foot. Maybe you just missed it. The sulcus of the frog doesn't need to be messed with much unless it's way overgrown or has obvious thrush. All in all a job well done. I'm sure that horse will thank you, Andrew. That medial crack looks like an injury that's always gonna grow down like that- just accentuated by redicously long feet.
He rasps the outer hoof wall down to make the angle of the flare match the angle he wants the entire hoof wall to be - that is aesthetics only. By taking that approach you at thinning the wall in that area, weakening it, further allowing it to flare out. A flare needs to be addressed from the bottom of the foot by taking downward pressure off it it, which is what caused the flare to begin with. He made it look like there was no flare, he did not fix the cause of the flare.
GoodRedBlackRatio I agree,....ultimately this horse was left with way too much toe, as well. I feel Like a lot of farriers/trimmers do this so they are called back more regularly. I'm not saying that is the reason this guy did it, I'm just saying that some farriers do it. Also putting a mustang roll/bevel on that toe would be a massive help.
Andrew Elsbree your really good at your job dude. I don't like horses( cos they are way to bloody smart) , and if they want you off them then your not gonna end up feeling too great. I ride motorcycles because they DONT HAVE A BRAIN and I know exactly what is going to happen when I Twist my right wrist or put my right foot down. But well done for being so good at your trade.
With proper instruction anyone can learn to trim a horse's foot, it's not rocket science you can teach a monkey to shoe a horse. get proper instruction there's several schools around that teach just trimming you can go on a weekend. Try the bwfa they are on Facebook.
The purple is a liquid topical put on horses feet to treat Thrush and has gentian violet in it, which will stain the hoof. This horse looks to have fairly bad feet at the moment and they were probably treating him for Thrush.
They warn down naturally And no blm doesnt have the funds nor the capacity to trim so many horses hooves their hooves warn down naturaly and it sure is beautiful
I don't understand why you would nail a shoe to an already compromised hoof. From the looks of those hooves before you started, those OBVIOUS holes in the hooves looked really bad. I just don't get it!
i used to think this was right way but now I know so much more..take a look at the hairline to see if there is nice even curve..no its jagged...also there are no heels or bulbs...
horses are so much better off without shoes, their hooves do naturally flare outwards (though obviously not this bad) and shoes can stop that, not only causing misshapen cyclindrical hoovees but bad shock absorbtion, causing stress and tension on tendons, muscles, cartilage etc, and possibly aiding in lameness horses have hooves for a reason, and it isnt to have metal nailed into it
You can only leave a horse barefoot if you do not ride them for sport. If you ride them casually on soft ground, sure but a horse that is very active and athletic needs shoes for protection. Shoes hurt horses when left unchecked. That's owners and undisaplined farriers, not shoes
horses hooves are marveous things: nless doing extremely rigorous activity often and on hard ground, the hoof growth will increase due to wear enough that they wont need shoes anyway. theres a reason that horses can live in rock areas and walk still c:
That's very true but if you have a horse say in Kentucky or the Carolinas, you need to shoe them or you will have a very sore horse. You would be lucky not to lame them. Horses is places like Colorado can very well go without shoes but not so much on the east coast.
Well yes they still can feel it but It isn’t painful. It’s not only the frog that has feeling. They have Laminae in their hoof which is soft spongey flesh that surrounds the pedal bone. So if you cut the hoof too far in it can be very painful for them and it bleeds a lot.
Your rule ref. "Certified Farrier" can't be sticked to in the whole world because for example in Asia there are obviously no schools for farriers/blacksmiths. Some "trimmers" try to do their best (Mr. Du), but a lot of basic training should be given to them: search for "overgrown hooves - donkeys" - for keeping donkeys/ponies as well.
I recently bought a horse from an auction. It's hooves look like this one. Can't wait till there nice and correct. This one stands nice for farrier i wonder why the owner waited so long to do them.
Have no interest in horses but just spend an hour watching videos of hoof trimming, so satisfying.
Same hold on how the fuck did i get here
Bonehimer a
Bonehimer 🍔🍺
So true, I have a horse, but I don't her feet. So this is good stuff
I find it gross but I can't look away
What I enjoy most on watching these videos is that the animal will be feeling and walking better. Great respect for your profession

Was just intending to find out if horses needed shoes, now I'm neckdeep in hoof-trimming videos.
Wakookaka Hahah. It happens.
Same here. These are great.
@@jigrodrigues 1
Horses usually do not need shoes. It's people who WANT shoes
The hoof gp is a great channel
I don’t even care for horses but these videos are so satisfying
Maybe I am weird but I love to watch horses getting their feet trimmed...it is just relaxing to me...I know, weird, right?
Kermit’s comment has been reported to TH-cam.
Hard to concentrate on learning when Mr horse is goofing around with his lips in the backround. Absolutly adorable, haha. Thank you for the video!
This is so satisfying. Knowing horse is better, makes me smile 😊
here, watching this video in 2018, I do not have horses but it's satisfying to see this
This is so satisfying! Good job. You did great. Love to see these great transformations.
Aww poor thing you are such a good person for going into this profession and helping these horse I know it’s a tough job keep it up
Aaaaaaah. SO MUCH BETTER. This horse thank you so very much!
Beautiful work your doing sir 😍👏 and a patient well trained horse loving your work too 😍🥰❤️ I got same education in Norway but only using it on my own horses 🐎
I would hire you if I had horses. I just came here to watch this. It's relaxing just to watch
That's right. You have the method you have the right tools. You know how to use it in the right way. Thank you for the video.
I don't even have a fucking horse why am I here
Ivana Cee for satisfaction
Because it's weirdly therapeutic
I love your videos because you explain everything you are doing I appreciate that
Great work and explanation. How quickly does a horses foot grow in say 6 months?
Well... I was with you, I loved that you took those bars out. So many leave them layed over.

Agreed.
I don't think he would sand the hoof wall on a regular basis, I think the wall was very sharp and jagged , but I know what you mean.
GoodRedBlackRatio I agree that the hoof wall definitely doesn't need to be sanded. But I know I heard him address the flare on this foot. Maybe you just missed it.

Very Excellent explanation and your way of work. Do more videos
“White Line Disease Old School Treatment “video deals with white line disease, too. I would love your thoughts on that treatment,
Very informative commentary, keep up doing more farrier videos!
Thank you Pasi for taking the time to comment.

Andrew Elsbree your really good at your job dude. I don't like horses( cos they are way to bloody smart) , and if they want you off them then your not gonna end up feeling too great.

What are you on about?
The man with knowledge
I dont have a horse and have never been on one. But I think I could fix a horses foot after all these videos I've watched.
This made me lol! You are clearly meant to be a horse person... come to the dark side... join us... haha
Interesting video and a job well done by an expert
You did a great job!
Very nice work!
More than a little underrun!!!
Hoping for a part 2... great video
Would all of his hoof grow back ?
A hoof grows down from the coronet band and takes about a year to get from the top to it's full length.
Yes, it's exactly like your fingernails or toenails. And is made of the same material (keratin) albeit much thicker.
I have looked for more videos from Andrew Elsbree but haven’t found any. I wonder why he stopped posting.
Very satisfying to watch
We got rescue donkeys and three geldings and were trying to save money for the farrier to trim their hooves but ima try to learn to trim as plan b
With proper instruction anyone can learn to trim a horse's foot, it's not rocket science you can teach a monkey to shoe a horse. get proper instruction there's several schools around that teach just trimming you can go on a weekend. Try the bwfa they are on Facebook.
He's surprisingly cooperative, why is that? or how is that?
What are those purple bits on the bottom of the foot?
Just the colour of his feet.
The purple is a liquid topical put on horses feet to treat Thrush and has gentian violet in it, which will stain the hoof. This horse looks to have fairly bad feet at the moment and they were probably treating him for Thrush.
Kristen Ressler You are correct! Teach me to pay attention lol xx
I wonder how wild horses hooves work, like do they trim themselves someway or do their hooves not grow as much
No, the BLM runs them in through a "squeeze chute" and trim them that way.
They warn down naturally
And no blm doesnt have the funds nor the capacity to trim so many horses hooves their hooves warn down naturaly and it sure is beautiful
I disagree. End of story.
You deserve a hearty LOL, my edgy wildcat fella.
I was just wondering the same thing!
I would think removing accessive heel horn on top of the foot would cause the foot to splay out as it does with cows when removing the laminal wall
Cows are cloven hooves tho, makes quite a difference.
If you trim to low....will you touch the nerve endings of the horse...where the horse will lick?
so satisfying...
Rose xox omg I think I have seen your videos
I've never seen a horse with a lot of soul. ;)
Badumdum.
How often do u have to trim the horse' feet?
I think i Just found the most satisfiying thing on TH-cam
Does the horse feel any of this or is there no feeling in that part?
So few farriers know about lowering the white line, good job.
有最近的視頻嗎?我一直在關注，thank you.
This video reminded me I need to trim my nails
Amazing work
Very clean farrier
Very competent man at work.
Idky but this is so much fun to watch
I don’t know why but this is so interesting.
good job sr. helping that por horse thumbs up
Plz tell me without shoe how many time horse ride ..?
I feel like know I want to know everything about hoof trimming. Is it uncomfortable for the horse to have his hooves that long?
Rebecca D Yes, in a way its kinda like an overgrown nail. In severe cases it can affect the way horses walk
Rebecca D, over grown hooves are bad for, amongst other things, the horses tendons.
This Ferrier is An Absolute Master!! If only he had been available in Denmark : /...
He is a good man and I love his job and I wish that he will always be exellent
thanks for the info!
What is the purple stuff on the bottom of the hoof?
BlazerDaJedi disinfectant
Oh! Okay, that makes sense! Thank you!
Extra, bravo. Nice video...
So how do horses in the wild maintain their hoofs?
They have to cover a lot if ground to get the food they need and stay safe from predators.
I don't understand why you would nail a shoe to an already compromised hoof. From the looks of those hooves before you started, those OBVIOUS holes in the hooves looked really bad. I just don't get it!
The shoes protect the hooves from rocks to keep the horse from going lame
Does anyone else find this odly satisfying
Yes mee too but y???
Never owned a horse but how much do farriers charge?
3:16 am and I watching these videos; is anything wrong with me???
R-B López probably. Just means you’ve joined the rest of us.
really interesting to watch, Nice job!!!
Nice Video
Congraculations!!!
whats with the purple?
I've never seen that before.
Looks like thrush buster
Its thrush buster
The Stranger the owner probly used thrush-ex or some thrush remedy on it.
Do cows get their feet trimmed as well?
late respond but yes,they sometimes even have shoes on
i used to think this was right way but now I know so much more..take a look at the hairline to see if there is nice even curve..no its jagged...also there are no heels or bulbs...
horses are so much better off without shoes, their hooves do naturally flare outwards (though obviously not this bad) and shoes can stop that, not only causing misshapen cyclindrical hoovees but bad shock absorbtion, causing stress and tension on tendons, muscles, cartilage etc, and possibly aiding in lameness
horses have hooves for a reason, and it isnt to have metal nailed into it
Yep agree, my horse was tripping all over the place with shoes on from overgrowing hooves. Id rather go barefoot and lightly trim/rasp every 2 weeks.
You can only leave a horse barefoot if you do not ride them for sport. If you ride them casually on soft ground, sure but a horse that is very active and athletic needs shoes for protection. Shoes hurt horses when left unchecked. That's owners and undisaplined farriers, not shoes

im afraid youre talking greek there, im english so i dont really know what its like in kentucky or anything
How do wild horses get away with out getting trimmed ?
Informative. Thank you.
Yes I do LoL!!! What a good explanacion !!! Thanks long live
Really good job....
what rasp is that?
意猶未盡，能看到修飾右前蹄就更好，我看了7.8次。
very interested. thank you.
So the horse doesnt feel a thing?
No. The only place a horse can feel is the small triangle in near the center of the hoof. But it is still not very sensitive.
It's like trimming your fingernails.
Well yes they still can feel it but It isn’t painful.
It’s not only the frog that has feeling. They have Laminae in their hoof which is soft spongey flesh that surrounds the pedal bone. So if you cut the hoof too far in it can be very painful for them and it bleeds a lot.

Where's the back feet video?
came out nice
Thank You Vick
These videos lower my heart-rate.
Good job interesting
y by the frog it looks purple?
Horses are cool
Really good professional
Do they have nerves in there hooves just hipe it doesnt hurt them horse doesnt seem bothered though
Kay Deakin The hoof is just a big toe nail. Like when we humans cut our nails.
Why was I more interested in the horses mouth 😂😂😂
I recently bought a horse from an auction. It's hooves look like this one. Can't wait till there nice and correct.
This one stands nice for farrier i wonder why the owner waited so long to do them.
That horse has four bars of sole!
Poor horsie :( good thing the farrier finally came to him
RDR2 needs to implement this pedicure option in the game
Yep
