Your horse just kicked the farrier… again?! 😱
Let’s stop turning your farrier into a punching bag.

Most “farrier issues” are not mean horses. They’re under trained feet and rushed handling, especially in winter.

You do not need long training sessions.
You need a 2 minute daily habit that stacks fast.

The Minimum Effective Dose (do this while feeding or turning out):
1. Stand still + square (20 sec)
If they drift, calmly reset. No drama.
2. Pick up + hold each foot low and comfortable (about 10 to 20 sec per foot)
You set the foot down when they are calm.
Do not reward yanking. Wait for one calm second, then release.

Quick progression:
Week 1: 3 to 5 sec per foot
Week 2: 5 to 10 sec
Weeks 3 to 6: build to 20 to 60 sec with tiny breaks

Once a week: 5 minute “Farrier Rehearsal”
Longer holds, light hoof pick taps, tiny position shifts.

Winter bonus: pick hooves daily in mud and manure. Easiest thrush prevention ever.

Who’s tried a routine like this? Drop a ❤️ if your farrier has horror stories like these pics.
