Love your vids, Pete. I sit here watching enthusiastically like “Ooh trimming the frog; my favorite part! Ooh the nippers; my favorite part! Oooh the rasp; my favorite part! Ooh the gloss; my favorite part!” And then today there was a doggy at the end to boot!
Yay new video. Love how fern was just chilling in the back of the car waiting patiently. Rolo looks amazing ❤well done owners. Great video Peter as always 🎉
Rolo living his best life, a big thank you to the wonderful new owners, he's so handsome with his plait, always love what you post Peter, thank you! And hope your family is doing well too, take care Peter.💙🐎🐕
Another great video, Peter!! But please try and show both feet when you do a trim!! Either a front and hind, 2 fronts, or 2 hinds. It just makes for more interesting viewing. As sometimes the feet don't mirror each other. I hope everyone is feeling better now! Your friend, the Retired Paramedic and Horse Trainer in Ontario, Canada, Jenn 💖 🇨🇦
Peter you did an absolutely beautiful job on Rolo’s hooves. Rolo looks great and I am sure that he is much healthier and happier now in his new home. ❤❤❤
Rolo’s coat is so beautiful. I do remember him at the beginning. It makes my heart sing to see him now. Happy Christmas upcoming to Peter and your wonderful family.
Hi Peter. How are you? How is your family? Looking forward to enjoy Christmas? Enjoyed so much watching your new video about Rolo. He is absolutely stunning. An angel. Thank you for the update. All the best😁
Peter, on a previous video you kindly answered my question about the purpise of the frog. As a "non horsey" person , I have another question. What happens to horses in the wild that don't have a friendly farrier to care for their feet? Do their hooves naturally wear down in a way that domesticed horses' hooves don't?
I think it’s to do with the hard terrain over time they wear them down naturally. 😊 they are constantly moving where horses generally are domesticated now xxx
To add more detail to the other reply.. wild horses travel over 25 miles a DAY or various terrain. It naturally files them down.. where as domesticated horse don’t travel that much
Depends on the work that they're doing. If they're doing a lot of work on concrete, it is always wiser to have shoes on, as it can chew up the hoof too much and make the horse lame. If they are 3 day Eventing, and showing on grass, you want shoes on so you can place a Cork, or screw, into the heel of the shoe to give them better traction. They might also need a sho if they have a touch of navicular. Where the coffin bone inside the hoof has rotated downwards towards the sole, so they would also need a small pad to help support that area of the hoof. But if they are just ridden in a school arena or in a field lightly, there is no need for shoes and the horse can stay barefoot. I hope this explanation helps you understand why some horses have shoes and some don't. Best Regards from a Retired Paramedic and Horse Trainer in Ontario, Canada, Jenn 💖 🇨🇦
@@jenniferlehman326but shoes also don’t have grip and can make it more dangerous going over concrete:) I find it’s easier for them to slip with shoes on
@thatcrazy_equestrian275 If they are on concrete, they have welded on corks at the back of the shoes. And that does help with slipping. Check out Horse Drawn Promotions. Barry Hook trains horses for carriage work. All the horses are shod, and all shoes have welded corks at the back of the shoes. He even will canter the horses and then ask them to stop. And the corks help them do that. But usually they are only walking and trotting. Best Regards from a Retired Paramedic and Horse Trainer in Ontario, Canada, Jenn 💖 🇨🇦
The video is OK, but it would have been better if you had the job of trimming his feet (and videoing it), since your first trim. Seeing the progress would have been 300% better than this.

Thank you!
Rolo! Neat mane plait, neat hooves 😂 . Do you help with his split ends?? Or just stick to his nailcare??
😅
👍
All the videos I've watched and only just noticed that you are a lefty! Does that make any difference to you doing your job or getting tools?
Big hooves for a pony. o.O
More and longer videos, please.
Maybe a front and a hind?
Get you some plastic wrap and hold them feathers back. It works great.

Hello Pete! Just curious and because I do not know, why was Rolo' s frog left higher than some other trimmings?
Cheers!
Sweet, was he the one who kicked you the first time you worked on his feet?

Desperately need to know what was causing all the barking from the dogs in the background!
