I like how you talked about preserving the height of the wall even when you roll the wall. I see and have myself in learning taken height in making my roll... which once you get it down to the right height not such a good thing and not much height left to work with at that point! You explained and showed this very well thank you!

I like your hoof pick. Unable to get a real good look at it. Different from the usual pick. May I see a photo of it? Thanks

Horses that do a lot of work. Including feral/wild horses will wear the lower 1/3 of the hoof capsule. It's a normal area to receive wear in my opinion.

Spot-on! Horses need wall!!!!!! it's a fad that horses need to have it rasped off, this whole "mustang roll" idea is bollocks. This guy knows what he is doing!

I agree. Many people over rasp the outer wall. I did mention it was t really required on this horse. I did however want to highlight the correct way to do it. Hence the rasping. Many people "dump" the hoof wall and purely wanted to demonstrate the difference :)

I wanted to comment to any future watchers of this vid that this is only one of many 'styles' of barefoot trim, and many of the things he says in this are out dated classical farrier techniques, are not 100% rules. Most barefoot trimmers will take the hoof wall down completely level with the outer edge of the sole so they share the weight of the horse evenly - and in my own personal experience, horses do very well without any hoof wall making ground contact from the quarters forward (so very sharp bevel). Often the hoof wall being longer than the sole edge is what causes coronet jamming (among other things). He also 'dresses' the hoof wall in this video which is unnecessary and purely cosmetic - dressing may make the hoof look nicer, but you lose not only the protective outer layer, but structural strength as well - you also lose any 'history' of that horse that could have been important, ei signs of laminitis. The most important thing for any horse owner of course is just to learn as much as you can about hoof care, hoof pathologies and what to look for in a good trim.

Completely agreed. Rasping flat to the outside of the wall will just weaken it and cause flares. I would only leave the wall slightly longer than the sole if the horse was going to be doing a lot of road work as it may wear down. Otherwise I would trim to the same level of the sole.

I like to cut off the excess wall instead of rasp it so I can see the break over without having to risk rasping the hoof down too much. Other than that, what I've learned from this video is that you need a little bit of break over, and you want to try not to cut off so much to where they have no height, so the horses arent just walking on sole. Correct?

Hey there. There isn't but I know why you think that. When you video a hoof from an oblique angle it tends to make the toe look longer.

Old fashioned idea, not to rasp the hoof wall. The cellular structure runs up & down the hoof so there is no issue with letting in infections nor are you weakening the structure, as was once thought. Removing flare is better for the horse.

When you clean your horses water make a little mud bath around it. That should do the trick.

make a mud bath in the field for them to walk through, or you can put hoof oil on the hooves

Triforce Master I understand you feel that I do not know about horses because of what I called it. Let me make myself clear; it is not a normal hoof knife and looks nothing like one. This is why I referred to it as a sole scrapper in my comment. But instead of acting like a know-it-all, please remain silent unless you can answer my question. It is a much classier action rather than making yourself look like a chauvinistic jerk only on here to make yourself feel smarter than others.

Kinda rude to just drop the horse's leg like that...you could set it down nicely since she stood so nicely for you...mutual respect, man.
@jakeheidebrink3965

Horses are responsible for their own feet if they want to let it drop that's their choice. I expect my horses to stand nicely for me if I ask them to stand nicely for me, I don't consider them to be doing me a favor if they do what they are expected. Simple minds......

You must have never worked for anyone but yourself...because there's nothing quite as crappy as working for a boss that doesn't appreciate their employees and offering a "good job" or "thanks" every now-and-again. Just because it's what is expected does not mean you can't be appreciative and reciprocate the respect they show you. Or imagine you are at the doctor and having an arm or leg checked-up, your doc says "relax, I'm just going to hold your leg up, check the range-of-motion" (or whatever) and you trust him, relax, let him work and WITHOUT ANY WARNING, he just drops it...I'm pretty sure you would think that's rude. You are right about one thing though...to have an "I'm the boss, it's my way, you deal with it" mentality is quite simple minded, indeed.
