I just wanted to say THANK YOU for this incredibly thorough and helpful video! I trimmed my girl last week with this video in the background and it gave me everything I needed to confidently take care of her feet. She stood better for me than she has for any other farrier and walked off with beautiful heel-first landings. You're doing amazing work and I so appreciate your content being shared here!
@@hoovesbyviolet That is so kind! I have no idea if this is a thing you offer, but I would love to send pictures of her hooves and see if I'm on the right track?! I follow you on IG so it could be easier to talk there. Regardless, LOVE your videos!!
this video was incredibly helpful! My question is how do you know that there is chalky sole to remove if it never forms into plates of exfoliated sole? Also, we spoke of getting the bars to stand up. Do you have a video showing this?
Hi! I don't have a video of standing bars up (YET). The next time I come across them I will video it. It usually happens when the hooves get overgrown. I try to keep all my clients on a good schedule but maybe a new client will have this soon. I will keep my eye out for you! about the chalky sole... are you saying that your horse always has chalky sole and it never becomes hard? I want to understand so I can answer correctly.
Hello there from Norway. Love the video. Do you by any chance have a trimming video to help with ringbone trimming? Any experience with this? Many thanks in advance.
Hi! Sorry for the late response! I don’t have a video specifically on ringbone yet…. The best trimming practices for ringbone is keeping the horse on a regular trim cycle so the hoof doesn’t get too long and keeping the hooves balanced. Keep shoes off as they reduce shock absorption which is going to aggravate. Diet is an important factor, too much sugar = more inflammation.
One more specific thing for ringbone.., Have you done X-rays? Do you know the degree of the angle of the coffin bone? 3-5 degrees is ideal, ground parallel OR a bigger angle can put excess strain on the coffin joint. Is it high or low ringbone?
@@hoovesbyviolet Yes, the metabolism with sugar with them is as bad as with us as to sugar. Hey and grass this year has been high sugar, and high prices.. Am trying to get x-rays, but vet situation is smewhat strained here too. But thank you very much for your reply. He has been off shoes for a long time, and I trim him regularily, heels down as well. Awaiting vet and x-rays. We also had a verywet period followed by now -10 C, which hasmade the paddocks very challenging n places. Thanks again for your great video. Merry christmas!
@@lindamellingen5977 there are always so many factors when it comes to horses and their ailments 🙃😂 it sounds like you are doing the best you can! Merry Christmas to you too 😊
@@hoovesbyviolet Yes, it is a wonder that they have survived! But guess this has a lot to do with breeding as well. And over here there are a lot of abcesses on horses due to the weather conditions and ground conditions. Take care, amd look forward to see more of your videos.
Good eye! So often contacted heels will go unnoticed because so many horses have them people think it’s how a hoof is supposed to look! This horse is usually on an 8 week trim cycle but he went a little long this time due scheduling with the owner AND it’s spring and he just happened to grow a lot 🤦♀️ with it being so rainy and muddy this winter sooo many horses are dealing with thrush and some with contracted heels… on top of that his owner is older and has a hard time treating his hooves for thrush regularly. Going too long between trims will usually just exacerbate that is already going on (if there is flares the flares will get worse, if there is cracks will get longer, if there is contacted heels it will get worse) it doesn’t usually cause heels to contract unless they already were starting to go that way. That being said… going too long between trims could still cause heels to contract because they are live animals and very rarely is something true 100% of the time.
oh no girl, her sole gets true but she rarely has the unexfoliated layer plate up. It is always chalky. However, once you get under that layer, its beautiful. I will send you some good pics because right now, she is really overgrown. The farrier comes every 8 weeks and that is wayyy too long!
I’ve noticed some horses tend to shed more with the chalkiness and some more in big chunks usually with the big chunks in the summertime. But every horse is different and I have definitely known some to not really shed in big chunks ever.

Are the heels a bit contracted? Is that from being too long between trims?
oops sorry you talked about it after I commented !
