    I spent several years working for a farrier in the North Somerset Levels, England - and was most interested in what you said about the working life of your tools. In many ways, we had the opposite conditions to deal with; for starters, the soil in that area is largely peat, as it was all sea marsh until being drained about 400 years ago. Even now, if a cow runs across a field, you can the ripples spreading out from her feet as though she was running across a shallow green pond, and the water table is only a few inches below the grass! Annual rainfall averages about four and a half feet per year, so we were usually dealing with soft hooves rather than hard. A rasp normally lasted us 9 - 12 months, and nippers lasted for years!

      Use a strip of fabric (something like a wool scarf), with Velcro sewn on the end. Then you can simply wrap it around whatever overlap you need. Maybe make a longer one, medium one, and shorter one. Those you could use forever and spare the planet the plastic waste. We each have to do our part.

    Caleb: Nice job on the trim, does give the hands and forearms quite the workout. I to have a draft horse and he always breaks off in the same spot as Lakota. Have you ever thoughr or used the "Hoof Boss" or a cordless grinder? Both have helped me with hooves that are rock hard. I still use my rasp to finish. As far as the saran wrap plastic issue, people complaining about that is laughable. Its not recycable, the local landfill will only take certain plastics and the volume that you use compared to all the Starbucks plastic lids is a mere drop.

These are the same people that barely work themselves and have probably gotten their only blister when doing their yoga pose incorrectly. They don't understand the fulfillment of having purpose, and of blood, sweat, and tears ending in pride of a job well done.

    This is literally my pony mare's feet!! I tried nipping them myself, and I'm 5'2 with tiny lady hands. And I thought I was going crazy cause I was watching videos of owners trimming their horse hooves with way less effort. I even bought $200+ budnippers, cause I thought I could finally be able to trim...but nope...Even they hardly did anything for me 😥
    Apparently climate is a big factor in how hard/soft a horse's feet are. I live in southern Idaho, where it's very dry in the summer. So the muddy water trough trick...would that keep their feet softer for trimming? Do the hooves hold onto moisture for a long time? or would they quickly evaporate and get dry again. Or would I have to do more the prep prior to attempting to trim??
    Right now the only thing I can use is an electric hoof grinder, and while not my favorite thing, it does work. Although I wanna learn to use the nippers cause it would be less scary, especially when I get young horses

    My recommendation:
    I have been comparing and watching the videos from the Far-East trimmers ("overgrown hooves - donkeys") who succeed in treating the sole "in seconds" because they work with a huge knife (but all of them ignore the frog).
    If you want to give some moisture to the hooves you could put a canvas hood (awning, tilt, German: "Plastikplane") into the empty box, then some buckets of water and then put the horse there for some hours - of course before trimming.

    Curious about two solutions to dry hoof trimming and prevention: Would a Dremel tool be better for dry hoof trimming instead of an undersized Knipper? Also, is there a type of sealant for hooves to preserve the hoofs moisture and integrity?

      Dremel is too small and slow. There are plenty of good hoof products, from moisturizers to hoof oils and shiners.

    Man, when the nippers have a problem cutting through that, it’s dry. Oh I just subbed.

    Caleb,
    I love watching you trim and shoe horses.
    This clip was very interesting because she's a draft, wow she's got some feet❗️❗️
    Quarter cracks alway freaked me for fear of it traveling.
    Did you say by taking off the side wall that helped?
    Thank you

    great video ! :) ...i wonder if using a sander/grinder in combination with or instead of a rasp would help as well as be more cost effective...ive seen it work for some farriers...less vibration on the horse ...have u tried it? 🐎

    We started polishing our rasps on a buffer to really hone them sharp and extend their useful life by 10 times or more !
    They're sharper, work better and easier !

    As for the oils you mentioned, would Neets Foot Oil be recommended, or are it's properties too archaic?

    Is there a way you could soak the horse's hooves to soften them before you start working?

    So what does the horse feel while your doing this ? Obviously it doesn’t hurt them but is it like a tickle or do they not feel anything?

  • @pixie706

    I was taught that the outer coating of the hoof holds moisture in the hoof and not to touch it . Also is there any point applying oil dressings to the hooves are they actually absorbed

    One of my Shire horses has long hooves and a wide white line. The angle of the hoof is too shallow and needs to be remedied. I see you using your clippers at an angle of about 45 degrees to the hoof wall. I can do this but worry that the white line will be exposed?
