We have an online course available too for hoof trimming 101 with over 4 hours of material to learn from! myhorsecoach.com/courses/horse-hoof-trimming-101/ Where you can learn how to start trimming hooves and learning all about hoof health and good practices for trimming!
Super video! Thank you for the illustrations. It really helps to see how a healthy frog should look like. I'm really looking forward to your next videos on hoof care. Thanks again x
Thank you! I didn't show a healthy frog in this video unfortunately. The first pic was just a good view of the bottom of the hoof when filled up and then cleaned, but the frog isn't quite healthy there. The next pictures show a very poor frog on it's way. I'll definitely get to the "healthy frog" video soon. Tomorrow I'll have one out about "Flaky frogs" as I have a great example that I discovered today.
So sorry, I typed too quickly and should have paid more attention to what I was writing... But thanks again for the great videos, we are learning a lot 😃! Keep up the good work. It is very much appreciated! ☺️
i appreciate the detail you provide. i would like to make a suggestion as far as your presentation goes - i think the same narrative over images of the actual work you are doing, would be visually stimulating provide the same or additional info and would probably be more fun for you. it would involve a bit more prep on your part but i think you will be rewarded with an uptick in views and subs. liked and subscribed, my friend. all the best. thanks.
Thanks! I really appreciate the feedback. This video was a long time ago when I was getting started up in making more instructional videos. I fully agree with you. I've evolved since then, you may enjoy this one perhaps: th-cam.com/video/kGtcangC_8Q/w-d-xo.html as it also has to do with horse's feet.
When I got my stallion he was an unhandled 6 year old who had never set foot out of an 8 by 16 enclosure from the day he was born. It had never been mucked out and his feet had never been cleaned or trimmed. You can probably imagine the shape his frogs were in. Three years later he has very nice feet with big wide frogs instead of the hard shriveled little things he had at 6.
I see this video is 5yrs old, but I am wondering how bad the thrush presented in this mare. Was she showing lameness or showing tenderness walking on rocks?
When I got Katie she was a rescue I knew she hasn't had her teeth or her feet done or anything like that pretty much 10 years in the first month I got her feet done her teeth done and I was told with it she had really good teeth you had no missing teeth but I noticed when I started cleaning out between her frog it was overgrown when we had a bit of rain it got moist then it started to peel and it was white flakiness once when I cut some of the frog off is that bad or good the white look like snowy flake
I'll have a video about that tomorrow. By chance I discovered that in one or my horses today and it makes a great example of what it is and how to deal with it. The simple version is that it can be normal. It should be cut off and cleaned off as it's ready to go. On the right terrain the horse would deal with it on it's own, but sometimes we have to help it.
I try not to over analyze my horses feet, I look and see things I think need atention, then send my farrier pictures. Haven't made him rase an eyebrow yet lol and every time he comes to trim he finds nothing and they all look fantastic again .lol My 3 are on pasture * when it's try enough, I try to pay attention to who is acting more flighty ( nervous jerky twitchy ) thats the one I really look over and usually find some source of pane they have going on. All my horses are rescues in one way or another. Little mini Jimmy supposedly came from a "good home" first week I had him he whould hang his jonston out and try to scratch it with his back foot. So, I messaged the previous owner, (she insisted on having contact so she could be sure he's in good hands ) I asked: when was the last time Jimmy had his sheeth cleaned ? Her answer: Never, he was on pasture. My face 😲, answer: O ok Vet came to do their teeth following week they had to come back in 6 months to finish stratening them out because his were so bad. Jimmy is the only one that never came from a rescue lol They said he's trained to drive (snort) I haven't hooked him up to find out but I wouldn't be surprised if he doesn't know how lol
It's better to have a stallion. Theirs sheaths nearly always stay clean. They also usually stay out of your face. You don't have a pushy horse to deal with. You do, however, have to remind him that he can't move your feet from time to time.
@@leealexander3507 Commercial breeding stallions have their sheath gently cleaned prior to live cover or artificial collection to prevent infections and keep the ejaculate schmutz-free. Geldings are much safer to be around, but doesn’t allow them to “self-clean”. If your not cleaning your Stallion you could cause infection in to the mare.

sorry about that, I think maybe your screen is too bright? I can see it from both my computer and phone. That said, it's used so little in the talk though and doesn't have a lot of relevance compared the images I show. Hopefully the rest of the information is useful to you :)

Thank you very much 😊

@@StableHorseTraining will take a look. thanks!
Very interesting video on this specific topic and no, it's not too long because it's good to get all this detailed information !
I'm glad you enjoyed it!

Yes, I can imagine exactly how they probably looked. I'm amazed anything good came of them after that long...
Very good information. Thanks
You're welcome :)
Very nice video.
Thank you 🙂
Very interesting video thank you for the information. I put thrush meds. On my boy once a week am I doing the right thing?
You're welcome. Thrush meds can be useful depending on what they are and how they are applied. So... it depends.
I see this video is 5yrs old, but I am wondering how bad the thrush presented in this mare. Was she showing lameness or showing tenderness walking on rocks?
I don't recall, sorry. Looking at the pictures, I'd say maybe.
So interesting!
I also learned what shod meant lol
Thank you, glad you enjoyed it!

Here is a video on that "chalky white stuff": th-cam.com/video/iNfEU7AIB4o/w-d-xo.html
Why is it called the frog?
No idea.. Good question!

Good that you had him checked out. Regular sheath cleaning is a must. Teeth too!

@@leealexander3507 Good thing, I wouldn't want to clean a stallion.
@@lorineidtinytoadplot744 It would be no different than cleaning a gelding, but most are self cleaning.

Hi share
Sorry to much glare can’t see your drawing
