    Oh Graeme, that is an amazing intro to your book. Don't be nervous about people's reactions - we all have a past and have had ups and down to varying degrees, and you are no exception. An audiobook would be phenomenal as your beautiful voice and the emotion you will add to your story would be amazing! Your family loves you and be assured that your 'herd' loves you too, warts and all, even though we don't know you personally. You are our friend and enhance our lives every day ❤❤❤

    Graeme I didn’t think I could appreciate you more, I was wrong. There are days when I end my work day exhausted and turn on your videos for your cheerful, sunny disposition. You are incredibly brave and your honesty restores my faith in humanity. I can’t wait to read your book. Life offers us the opportunity to rise and you clearly have had more than a few challenges yet you have turned your challenges into the opportunity to bring joy to others. Thank you.

    Very well written. You have a great voice for making an audiobook. Most often when someone describes where they live it's boring and emotionless. You've made it romantic and wonderful. The beginning of your Intro is emotional and real. You are an author. 😁😁👋👋💖💖 Take it from a fellow writer.

    Dear hoof GP, I too want to read your book now. I look forward each day to your videos. I love the scenery, your smiling face and watching you care for the hoofs of those gentle giants.
    I am a bed bound 72 year old woman with my own health issues. I recently learned that I’m 57% Scottish and 16% Viking. I long to see Scotland before I kick the bucket, but I have no idea how that can happen. Between being poor and having mobility issues makes it seem unlikely. So I watch your show, listen to your brogue, and delight in all the beauty that is Scotland. You and your beautiful family deserve the best life can offer.
    Much love from Patience and Gene in Portland, Oregon USA

    I'm sure you may be nervous about releasing such intimate thoughts and details of your life but remember that you are never alone and you are only human just like the rest of us! Hugs to you and family, I'm sure it will be a great read! 💞

    I’m bipolar type 2. I understand the swings and the hell they can really bring. From being ready to end it all to so manic you blow thousands of dollars in a matter of minutes. It’s a great thing that your sharing this side of yourself and I can’t wait to read it. Take care of yourself brother and always remember “Just one more day”.

    You’re honesty isn’t starting here. You’ve had it all along my guy.
    You’ve finally understood that you’ve got the audience that’s prepared to accept it. To accept you, Graeme, and fam, in whichever way brother.
    WE shall continue to learn from you as yinz do the same from us.
    WE are now listening to you more than ever, albeit we always have been, because YOU, sir, have done your job in THE BEST WAY POSSIBLE 👌🏼👌🏼✨✨🥺🥰💪🏼

  • @LostButMakingGoodTime
    @LostButMakingGoodTime ปีที่แล้ว +34

    Graeme, I am stunned. I was not expecting that. I suffer from the same affliction. It is a very, very rare version of bipolar and it takes a lot of twists and turns in diagnoses to get there. As I’m sure you are painfully aware. I became a big fan of your channel for not only the oddly compelling content, but the warmth and humor and genuineness of the man at the heart of it. Your incredibly positive approach to life and your humble response to the good fortune brought by your hard work has been a joy to experience from a distance. And not in a million years would I have thought that the problem I continue to suffer with almost every single day, could possibly lurk somewhere beneath the positive outlook and that big, beaming smile of yours. I cannot wait for the book. All the best lad.

  • @lauracross620
    @lauracross620 ปีที่แล้ว +28

    The introduction seemed well written enough to draw me in. Writing a book from a business perspective, is a wise decision. You should be able to make a good profit considering your fan base. And you're right, there are those who are here because they find hood trimming oddly satisfying. But there are also those who appreciate you letting them in and being part of the Hoof GP family. The book will satisfy those viewers. I hope your book does exceptionally well and a documentary will be made.

  • @susanlambert8462

    I remember stumbling on your channel 3 years ago, when my own road was bumpy as well as life throwing me the biggest curve ball. Your stories and your energy got me through so much and continue to delight me, make me laugh, make me feel a part of the bigger picture. I remember celebrating your milestones 10,000 then 50,000 then 100,000 and then just so many more people all over the world finding you and your gift of helping cows to live healthy happy lives. I mean it when I say thank you, and I can't wait to read your book ❤️

    Graeme, can’t wait to read the book. From the intro it sounds like this version will stay true to your voice. I have a good friend who is bipolar and works to raise awareness and understanding. The more people feel safe to speak up about it, the better!

    Graham, I recognize your infectious nature as I too am a rapid cycler Manic depressive… back then in 1971 we bi-polars actually visited the shrink who prescribed our meds. I also attended a group session once a week. When I brought back the chart ,of my mood swings, Dr. Paula said I didn’t understand the instructions as my moods would change over days, weeks not hourly. I was the first rapid cycler she ever met. As I’m approaching my 73 birthday I too am in a happy place. I pray it doesn’t vanish like every other time before. I look forward to reading your book! Sincerely, Jeanette

    I had to put my 41 yr old quarter horse down the day after Christmas (2022) and I was looking at hoof trimming for horses just to soothe my broken heart, when i came across the hoof GP. It helped me very much. Makes me appreciate Cows and what they do for us.
    You have a great attitude and I look forward to reading your book. North Carolina 🇺🇲

    I work in the mental health care field so I can’t wait to read your book! You have been my personal anxiety relief these past few months. Your videos are amazingly claiming for me, between the music the humor and the healing you provide the cows (I am from Wisconsin so soft spot for cows). I just wanted you to know that you save me everyday. Keep being you and know you are making a difference to more than just the cows. I am proud to be in your herd.

    Graeme - I started watching your videos 2 yrs ago - I didn’t really know why except that your kindness to animals and the calming tone of your voice kept me watching . Your magnetic personality and quick wit round out what I believe to be a kind family man that works hard and finally got to the rainbows 🌈 end I’m happy things have turned around - I’ve worked in mental health for 30 + years and I witnessed the kind of mountains you have climbed bravo -- By the by thank you for purchasing the Appleton Steel - and for taking the time to visit Appleton Wi my home town 😊 May all Gods blessings …..wherever you roam !

    Alright already, You cast that lure and set the hook! I can't wait to experience the rest of your story. You are 100 % in tune with what captures and retains an audience. God has gifted you with the ability to entertain and educate others while projecting humility and honesty. Your blessings are abundant, thank you for sharing them with the world.

    The beginning of a good book grabs you within the first few sentences and this book has it. As a librarian I have seen and read a lot of books. I would love to read the rest of yours! Have you considered narrating an audiobook version? It would be well received. I would listen to it! Well done. 👊❤️

    GP. I actually got goosebumps listening to that intro. Can't wait to read it. Fair play to you putting it all out there in a book. There are not many people as brave as you to do that. Your honesty is admirable and I wish you the best of luck with it. You and the family deserve it. Take care and just keep being you. Inspirational

    Graeme,
    Many of us have been through "not so great" beginnings.
    Although the issues differ, the pain and struggle is real.
    I applaud you for writing this book, confronting your demons head on,
    and having the courage to then share and reach others,
    letting them know life can get better.
    I look forward to reading the book.
    I like the way you write.

    The only thing better than getting a copy, sitting down with my coffee and reading it page by page would be.... if you came out with an audio copy and narrated it yourself! You have a great reading voice. The book sounds fantastic. We all have our things.. it's how we deal with them that makes the story. I can't wait to read yours.

    You are a gifted words smith. Both in your videos and writing. I've been reading the comments and you affect so many people world wide in such a positive way. I find watching you calms me and takes me back to my childhood. Dairy farming, logging and a lot of hard work to survive. I often say God has given me my very difficult physical issues to remind me of His importance and the many blessings He has given me. Amazing family being at the top of the list. You are a blessing to many and I pray you are blessed through our thoughts and prayers.

    I can't wait to read your book! I see that there are 1,739 comments before me and they probably all say the same thing. I just turned 75 and have also had a twisty-turny life. I have a mental illness as well and struggled for decades with suicidality. I was in my 50s when I finally figured out what I had to do to be in recovery and then maintain my recovery. About 5 years ago those feelings of needing to die finally lifted; I was so grateful to no longer have those thought plaguing me. I'm retiring in 3 weeks and am truly looking forward to this next phase of my life. I am very content and am so thankful I have lived long enough to experience it. It appears that you have reached that point far earlier than I did and I'm so grateful you have decided to share your journey with us.

The great man that desires to help the cows that you are paid to help. As you say in your vlogs a few times, that you are surprised how many folks follow you on these vlogs. The simple secret is that you are a great man, a sweet personality that excites us as we follow you. Yes, I have written more than needed but it is you we follow. Don't change a thing as we enjoy you! Your smile, the twinkling eyes, and silky voice telling us about your day. God Bless You and your family. We love you, Graham.

    I want to buy the book. Your work with cattle hooves has impressed me. I just never knew how truly gifted you were. My life mirrors yours in many ways, especially when you say: “I’m in a happy place now…” Me, too, Graeme. But that took many hard knocks and poor decisions. I’m 67, but I awake with a sense of excitement for each knew day. God bless you and your tremendous family and give you great success with your book. You appear to be a fine human being, in my view. Thanks for your honesty and courage.

    @janedaniels7645 ปีที่แล้ว

    I love that Graeme. It’s a fabulous way to start your story and like everyone else, I particularly like hearing it in your own voice so an audio version is a must. Your positivity and optimism have really encouraged me over the past few months as I go through a bit of a slump in my own life due to illness, so it was a surprise to learn that you have had your demons too. I always find that people who have been through troubles tend to be the kindest and you certainly come over as a kind man. Cherish your two boys and gorgeous wife but please don’t go too wild in your expensive toys! Forty is a time to grow up and take no risks with what you’ve got.

    Wow. I am just floored. I can hardly wait to read the rest of the book. Thank you for having the courage to talk about your mental illness. I have suffered from major depressive disorder (MDD) since I was 15. I have five friends who suffer from bipolar disorder. And another who recently died in a motorcycle accident ( he wouldn't believe that he had an illness and had been skipping his meds). so I can't exactly say that I know how you feel, but watching my friends struggle really makes me admire you and your positive attitude much more.

    Being a writer myself I love to hear a person's story and yours is interesting and unique. My prayer for you is that you sell a million copies and then some and I pray your story brings awareness to a society of those who suffer from this disease. I have a few friends and family who suffer from Bipolar and from an outsiders view I would never have known you suffer too. Some of them cycle through the seasons and one friend who is closer than a family member just made it through the holiday seasons and was able to stay up. Such a great accomplishment. All that being said, you have sooooo much to be proud of...so many accomplishments and such a lovely family plus friends who love you too...not to mention your fans. ;) God bless you Graeme! I pray your road is easy and full of wonderful sights.

    This is beautiful, and so powerful! I’m really proud to be a supporter, even if all I can do is watch all the ads and watch videos. Your joyfulness is infectious and cheers me up. Thanks for sharing your story.
    I hope you’ll read it for audible! And get US rights! Lol

    I have enjoyed your channel for some time. As a “cow” girl, I learn so much and am so interested in the work you do. As a country girl, I love your landscapes. As someone privileged to love a wonderful man and be the mom to two grown kids, I love your family. As a Norse dependent I can’t wait to visit and know somehow I’m “home”. As a writer and a reader, I am excited for you and a fan. I look forward to the rest of your book. My love and best wishes to you, the crew and your family 💕😁🐄

You have a gift, an amazing gift, and one I feel so humble to experience each day here on my little IPad as if we are old friends, and now I will get to see on the inside what has brought you to this wonderful part of your life. Thank you for sharing with me and all of us. Hervey Bay Queensland Australia.

    I simply cannot wait to read this book. It's so kind for you to be willing to share your life so honestly. I'm glad your in a good place now and I wish you and your family many continued years of happiness. Your videos have given me such pleasure because I am such an animal lover and I have so enjoyed your talent and kindness to all God's creatures.

    I was nearly in tears listening to you read. I felt the deep, personal, raw aspects. I admire your courage to not only be a social media personality and an author. Your videos are awesome. The views taken from above of the countryside of Scotland, coupled with the music are breathtaking. Thank you so much for being who you are and sharing your life with us.

    I totally will be buying the book as soon as it’s released. It sounds like a real page turner that I’ll read on a rainy Day cover to cover. I love that you open up about your mental illness, as I have BPD myself, and although it is becoming more accepted now, it was such a taboo thing for so long. It’s an illness just like diabetes is an illness and with the right meds everything is manageable.

    Wow, you had me glued to the screen Graeme. I came across you by accident whilst I was sick - who just couldn’t sleep one night and then watched hours of your videos. Your attitude and funny character is so infectious. Looking forward to seeing who you are - I’ll strap myself in for the ride when it comes!

    Sounds so interesting! Living with a mental illness is a challenge. My hubby has had points in his life that were tough. I dread every time the Dr wants to do a medicine change. It means lots of stress is coming. Glad you have found the meds that work for you. I love watching your vlogs!

    I absolutely love this and definitely want this book. It is the trials of life that give us the chance to grow and persevere. You have done well my boy. God bless you and keep you. I can't tell you how much I love your show. I live in Kansas and worked for several ranches. I love horses and cattle. I am now retired and have a lot of back problems so your show helps me to with the longing to be around cattle. Thank you dear one. I love all of you and Cragie boy too!

    Your books is one I need to buy and then read, honestly I've been watching you now for over a year possibly two and your content has been the happy distraction when my world has turned black. I look forward to your new clips and now your stuff on insta as well, many a time I've sat with my son and daughter after having the worst fights with their mother thinking that there is no point any more and then to have my son ask me what your doing or why the cows are the way they are, and I realise that when I'm explaining to them what your doing, it's because I've sat and watched you in dark times and it's taken so much away because your work fascinates me. And then I get to explain it to my kids and the realisation that they are enjoying your work as well is so powerful. I'm enjoying explaining to them what your work entails and how it's so important. Seeing how fascinated my kids are by your work and that they enjoy watching you as much as I do just lifts me so much. Also its giving them an insight into how much work goes in to keeping the animals that produce the milk that goes in to so much of their food in good health. It's then helping them appreciate a little part of where their food comes from. You have helped me and also educated my kids in such a visual and visceral way. Thank you so much for such awesome work.

    I never would have thought one day that I would be subscribed to a hoof-trimming channel, yet here we are. My faint scottish blood seems to vibrate inside me when I see those hills; and you're not alone - I have a condition very similar to Bipolar, in fact it's often misdiagnosed as Bipolar. I've enjoyed learning and laughing with you boys going from farm to farm. Best wishes from a South African.

    It will be a good read. I found your video when I was going though a lot of mental health problems with my teenager and your videos helped me to tack ten minutes to my self to not worry about him. It is always good to here that other people had there own problems in the past and how they get the help they need. Thank you for your videos that you have put out the love you have for your family and the cows is so good. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

    Wow! I can't wait to read your biography. Your honesty is refreshing. Your positive nature and exuberance for your life seems to be something you fought hard for and explains your humility and kindness. I have just subscribed to your channel after discovering it on Facebook. Your videos are uplifting, educational and dead funny. Your friendship with your brother's in law is beautiful. I was sad to hear about Gracie but this to is a fact of life. Thank you for sharing your life with us and I look forward to reading your book. The introduction is well written and you are a natural narrator. 🙏🙏. Lynne from Warnbro in Western Australia.

    Graeme I simply can't wait to read your book. it's raw with grit and honesty and I can't wait to see and hear more. dealing with mental health and things that could of killed you but instead you didn't give up and fought for your life and that is something I understand and applaud you for. no matter what skeletons you may have you'll still be a family man who has taught me and so many others about things I didn't think I needed to know, your the man who's so humble and you have the most amazingly beautiful wife and boys and a skill that's incredibly unique. you Graeme Parker are incredible and I wish you saw yourself the same as so many others do.

However, I’m a storyteller, not a writer. What I mean is I FEEL your story! I’m balling… only because I truly understand! I can’t wait!!! I wish I could pick your brain. Thank you mate for sharing!!!

    You certainly know how to get my attention. I love reading truthful stories. I’ve been watching you for some time mainly because of my love of cows. As far as that goes animals. You make the hoof trimming very interesting and doing other farms that I follow, I really like that and your interaction with farmers in general. My best to you and your new book x
