Cómo engrasar cascos de caballos

Hello, welcome to a How to video. In this next video, we're going to explain how to wash a horse's hooves. First, we're going to start with our hands. To wash our hands, we'll stand next to the horse, tap it and the horse will lift its hand. Next, we'll scrape it well with the hoof pick and remove all the dirt. Don't worry, you're not hurting the horse at all. Okay. You can scrape it without any problems. Okay, now we're scraping with the metal part. We'll remove the rest of the dirt with the brush. And now we'll have washed the hoof. Now we can apply the hoof pick to all of the horse's hands. Let's wash the hind legs. To wash the hind legs, you have to be more careful as the horse could kick. What we have to do is carefully lift it up, help the horse pull back and hold its leg firmly with the help of our leg. Once we have the leg firmly supported with our thigh and the hand below, we start washing. With the hoof pick, we remove all the dirt, scrape the cracks in the hoof, and finally with the brush. Once we have finished, we will carefully drop the horse's leg and leave it on the ground. This way we will have washed the hooves well. Very good. Once we have washed the hoof well, we are going to grease it. To grease it we have to use a brush which we will put in the grease and we will pick up the leg. In the same way, we will ask the horse to lift it. Once it is lifted to the ground carefully, we will hang it as I told you before, and with the help of the brush, we will start to paint it. We have to grease it well, both the inside and the outside. The grease helps to prevent the horse's hoof from drying out and from getting damaged since it does not wear out. Because we have a horseshoe that prevents the hoof from wearing out and grows like water. If we do not apply grease, the horse can have problems with its legs. Once we have finished the lower part, we carefully drop the leg and we will proceed to apply the outer part. We relax the horse, we don't want it to lift its leg and we move on to painting the outer part. We have to do everything as I said. Very good. We have to do this process with all four legs, both the two back ones and the two front ones. Lets do the front one. We stand next to the horse and with the help of our hand, we ask it to raise its hand. Once it has raised it we proceed to apply it. If we see that a little more grease is needed, we apply it well to the tips so that the grease penetrates well. Once we have finished the lower part, we use our hand and proceed to press well. That's how you grease a horse's hooves. I hope you liked it. And until next time.
