- Dave Farley, CF APF-I is working on an Icelandic Horse in a recent clinic held at Stockhoff's Horseshoes and Supplies. This 23 year old mare had been barefoot for most of the winter and has good hoof growth but developed significant flares. Dave walks the attendees through his method of trimming and addressing flares of the right front foot prior to shoeing the mare.

Sanding the périople and the post perioplic membrane leads to deterioration of the hoof wall .
This membrane is there for a purpose ,just like the shine on your own nails ??
This wall sanding it seems to me only started in the early nineteen sixties but it was strictly forbidden in cavalry regiments in the eighteen hundreds when horses had thousands of campaign miles on their clocks .
The old guys might have been wrong ...but if they were shoeing cavalry mounts that were expected to travel from Warsaw to turn up at Austerlitz in time for a dust up ...they surely must have known something about hoof care .
Then again I am an old guy myself and probably know nothing!!
You are correct.
You got a little more to do on that lateral wall, and ditch that stupid sander all you youngsters.
ignorant owners are impressed more with "pretty" than correct 😢
I disagree. The lateral wall is totally fine. As a barefoot farrier student through PHCP I’ve already learned the basics (rasping trimming knife work etc.), how to address flares, how to diagnose certain issues in the hoof and wall, and hoof balance. So far this horse looks great. Of course it will flare in between trims, but he trimmed this hoof beautifully. I would have put a stronger bevel/roll on his toe but that’s just my opinion. Personally I don’t like those sanders, I think you should only rasp the whole wall when you’re shoeing. But on barefoot horses they need as much protection as possible.
@@judymiller5154not only ignorant owners, but owners who are just there for the show.
From what I have seen with farriers you can have 10 farriers look at the same horse and you will get 20 different opinions.
You are terribly mistaken in your comment on the periople. I would like to know where you heard that or if this is just your conclusion.
Common sense.
Does anybody else here hoof trim and are just watching to learn? Just curious.
Yes, 77 yr lady with a wonderful mare with under-run heels and dx navicular a year ago. Farriers got fired, one after another, cuz they don't know anything about reversing navicular, or barefoot, or trimming bars, or strengthening the caudal tissues, and refuse to follow my request to take toe and leave heels. Only want to cut off heels, wedge, shoe, and recommend shots from the vets. I watch and learn from everybody and yesterday my mare was trotting sound in the pen!! I'm learning to video foot-fall, can still see a slight toe-first, so work still to do. I have artimud, DIM, and boots to try next, while learning about glue-ons as my next challenge . I am totally committed to my mare's comfort. (Many think I "should be committed" 😂 )
@@judymiller5154 very cool. Best of luck 👍🏽❤️
I need your help. I have an arabian who has a very mild high/low situation. BUT, she came to me not very corrected. Her heels are off which is causing her bars to grow out and towards the front. Causing flares in the time between farrier visits. I cannot afford weekly trims so I need to correct this myself. The overgrowth in the walls is also a problem. How can I encourage the bars to grow straighter the way they were meant to? I think its important to tell you she is barefoot and lives on soft pasture during the day and dirt and rock in the evenings. HELP!!!
The hoof face should be left alone.
So what's happens in the wild?
They’re running around on rocks and stuff so they wear their feet down
You might see horses in the wild with long or flared hooves but they don’t need trimmed because of how much they travel in the wild. Their hooves will never grow out to be as long as some domesticated horses hooves can get. They get worn down for the most part. Domesticated horses are in smaller pastures and usually on grass which help the hooves grow. Therefore, they will need trimmed
@@ashlynhope2659 thanks for the info 👍🏽❤️
Need catalog farrier tools
Muito bom 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Great video
The heels and bars are still much too long.
We don't have enough information to say heels and bars are too long or short. IME, certain breeds and conformations don't to adhere to the general rule of trimming heels down. It's been awhile since I've worked on an Icelandic but I'd imagine the heels, in this video, are within range without seeing what else was done later.
