My horse was like that too. I struggled with his feet for years until the day I had had enough and just decided to make him go barefoot. He lost his shoe and broke a huge chunk of his hoof. The transition barefoot wasn’t easy. I’m not gonna pretend it was. It took a year and half BUT now he’s been barefoot for almost three years and his feet have never looked better! No more cracks. No more breakage. He has strong, healthy feet. (Btw I’m not anti shoes but just talking about my own horse, going barefoot saved his feet.)

5:48 I've been watching you for a very long time. The thing that sets you aside is when-ever speaking or doing something that would upset  others, you are so even keeled and positive. Thank you for sharing. 6:03 He just doesn't like anyone messing with his tootsies!  *****REVISIT PLEASE*****.

Wow. That was VERY educational. I really appreciate this knowledge.  You do beautiful work. Nice secure, even application.  Great video! 😊💥💯👍

Great video, first time I have seen this done.  I will have to tell my favorite young farrier to check out this video.  He is the nicest guy and donates a ton of his time to my favorite Horse Rescue and boy do they get some wonky messed up feet on these neglected horses.  I think this could come in handy for him.  I have told him to watch your channel as your good at explaining things, and he is learning in the farrier school of hard knocks at the rescue!  Anything he can learn from someone like yourself would be helpful.

Great shoeing job, Caleb. Have yourself a great weekend with your wife and little one!! Your friend, the Retired Paramedic and Horse Trainer in Ontario, Canada, Jenn 💖 🇨🇦

If this foot was clubbed I would swear that you were shoeing my old horse. We had a tough time keeping shoes on him his whole life. Twice he managed to pull a shoe before the shoer was off the property. He also was tough to be around. Not because he had ADHD but because he constantly was chewing on something and bouncing around while he entertained himself with it. If he had a haynet full of hay he would chew the net as often as he would eat the hay. He also thought it was funny to do unexpected things like be all kind and snuggly then rip your shirt off, or be standing, walking or grazing next to you then wheel and kick you or someone nearby, or somehow manage to crawl over the hitching rail while tied pretty short and then be stuck on the rail, or kick people in the face. After doing any of these things he seemed pretty pleased with himself and would stand there with his front legs crossed and look at you like "so what's the big deal?" We learned to expect the unexpected with him.

Poor fella! Glad Caleb is on the job!

I worked with a horse that consistently ripped shoes off. It was so painful to look at but he could have cared less. One point me ripped one off so bad that he had to be on stall rest for a few weeks. The barn manger didn’t do anything about it either. The owner came in and I had to tell them. They weren’t shocked but upset that they weren’t called about it.

Really Awesome job

Great to see a video mate.
Blessings to you and the family.

Beautiful job. Sometimes people stick a piece of tape, or a post it note, to a horses muzzle to distract them.

Nice job!

Have you considered trying the SHS Performer tape shoe?  It's gaining popularity in Sweden and is amazing for rehabilitating bad hooves!

He’s got some personality that’s for sure 😂

I wonder if a glue-on shoe with a solid "clip" all the way around is 1) available 2)a good fit for him considering his shenanigans 😊

I was trying to figure out why the sound was so weak - turned up on the speakers, and on youtube. Realized my volume was way down on the PC itself. Whoops!

Have you tried using a Chiffany bit on him ( used in sales) it may keep him distracted enough to keep calmer

❤❤❤

grab yourself a cody rasp to make the perfect glueing surface

I wonder if the horse could do with a dog chew toy to play with to keep his head busy. Great job as always
