This video focuses on the areas that we are commonly doing mark ups for in Hoof Builders. You can use a marker on your own trim when you have nearly finished, to make sure you are getting all these details.

Finding the calloused live sole at the seat of corn and rolling the heels

This short clip covers two areas that come up a lot in markups:

- clearing frog out of the end of the collateral groove (finding the true widest part of the frog)

- the shape of the heels (with an analogy I hadn't heard David use before, and I think it's my favourite)

The two angles used in combination to create the mustang roll

The difference between a sharp bevel and the mustang roll

This short video shows how I trim the hoof when it presents with a ridge of sole around the edge.

This short video was filmed in the afternoon at one of the Australian clinics, and shows how I would roll the wall tighter around the toe, and the reasoning behind that decision.

In my opinion there shouldn’t be acute pressure at the sole between the toe contact points. The coffin bone is thin and vulnerable in this area and there’s very little flexion or shock absorption here. This area should be relieved of pressure when the foot is at rest and especially during break over. This video shows one of the techniques I use to achieve that slight saddle between the toe pillars.
