A good farrier is a scientist and can save a horses life, quality of life and soundness
Absolutely
ferriers also diagnose and treat other common hoof problems in addition to putting on shoes....I know you will give Uniek the best care possible as she gets older..a great informative video again Yvonne
Yes, it's very special that video. I see you always look the videos. You are a real friend of yvonne 💞
I gathered from this video that the nails do not hurt their hooves when hammered ,I always wondered about it!! I don't think they hammer in shoes on the Giraffes,they glue them on and I don't believe they are permanent A baby Giraffe at the Topeka Zoo was the first to be fitted with shoes, it saved her life.
@@annmadden4735 the nails do not hurt them
@@greghammer4000 Thank you for always answering my questions, I appreciate you.
@@annmadden4735 u r very welcome
I'm impressed. She has to feel better with these new shoes!
Farriers do amazing work, I saw a story years ago where a farrier saved a horse's life with corrective shoeing for a chronic lameness.
Thanks to farrier JW for being on camera, we really do appreciate learning so much here!
This truly is more than a trade or a craft, it’s an art!
Your horses are so loved and well cared for! !
Wait 'til you see hot shoeing. It's amazing how well-behaved horses are with all the smoke and stink of hoof burning. It's backbreaking work and like you say, a real art. They can make or break a horse. I had one change the angle of my horse's hooves making him lame and he almost bowed a tendon.
@@MaureenYost Aggh! That's terrible!!
Would certainly appear so!!
@@MaureenYost I cringe to see hot shoeing.... Scares me, thinking, What if....? I know trust the expert.....
Walou is a wonderful lady for the farrier! Not her first set of shoes, that's for sure. She's very patient.💙
Laughing at Yvonne's remark, re Walou...."Blue nails ." Lol . 😆👏
Waloubet looked like she was about to fall asleep. So patient :)
as chilled as......................
Seeing Horses like Walou makes me glad they can sleep while standing - looked like she was napping half of the time. She is just so relaxed and enjoys her pedicure. Shows not just that her trainer (s) did a great job but also that the ferrier is amazing.
She's at a Spa having a pedicure...
It always amazes me, how very relaxed well trained horses are during these procedures. And then they go and spook from a shadow or puddle 😆
@@raraavis7782 Yes, that is kinda crazy...Spooky Friesians!!
Excellent video today. The farrier in many ways is a "Podiatrist" They provide all kinds of therapy solutions for hoof damage, foot problems, and in this case relief to joint pain with shock absorbers. It is hard work as well, strong back, hands, legs and arms needed. They also have to be confident and relaxed with the horses/cows/donkey, to keep at ease and comfortable as possible. I admire their profession a great deal. 👍
Yes, but how they know the problem? Or it's the owner or the vet who discover it?
With your name i can see that you are a grandfather, little jeff
@@joannesmartens9442 👋Joannes. Yes I'm retired oldie 👨🦳. In this case, the owner would have knowledge along with vet consultations (Uniek has been diagnosed by a vet with arthritis) to know the problems. They can inform the farrier and he can then apply known remedies, repairs, shoes that help with certain medical needs. Often these top farriers work with vets and have special equine medical/anatomy knowledge and training to provide the best care for hooves, feet and related issues.
@@pakejeffje6238 spot on Pake 👍
May I also add that JW has probably been shoeing Uniek for many years and will have intimate knowledge of her feet, every ridge and growth pattern, unique to Uniek 😆
It must be like having a pair of shoes hand made by a master craftsman
🌟🪡 👞🥿
Big cheer for the farrier!
@@joannesmartens9442 "Little Jeff"?????
Very interesting!! Be sure to thank the ferrier for allowing him to be filmed!! Never seen this before!!
Good thought...Thanks to The Farrier!!
Aw, they wear gel insoles just like arthritic me! How awesome you can make the horses more comfortable this way. 💕
Walou is a lovely, friendly mare 😍😍. She looks like she's very relaxed with the farrier, and seems to be nuzzling his head at one point 😂😂. I can imagine that jumping a lot does put a lot of strain on the front legs and joints, so it's good that she's got a talented farrier who knows how to cushion the impact with shoes, to help her become more comfortable, and carry on enjoying her jumping well into the future 😊😊.
Massive hugs to Uniek with her arthritis, and I hope that the cushioned shoes help her to become more comfortable 💕💕. Yvonne, I know that you love Uniek to bit, and give her the best care possible 😍😍.
Wishing Yvonne a complete and speedy recovery. 🙏
Hiya Yvonne, I'm not sure why but I really enjoy watching the farrier work on the horses hooves... it's very relaxing. The horses show great patience and seem very relaxed too. I just love what they can do to help horses that have issues with pain. A great video to watch again, Bronwyn, 🇳🇿🇳🇿
Farriers are amazing! The art and science has come so far. Most folks don't give it a thought, but your farrier is as important as a vet. This was interesting!
Maybe much more so ....
What I find amazing is how good the horses are.
It looks as though the silicone keeps mud and other debris out of the hoof as well as cushioning. Thank you so much for sharing!
That was interesting. I’ll bet the horse is much more comfortable now.
For never owning a horse or riding much this channel has furthered my interest in the over all care and upkeep of this Beautiful Breed of Horse’s ❤️🩹💙💛
Waloubet immediately lifting up her other foot for the silicone saying: "This one now, please, kind sir." She obviously hates the comfy shoes😂not!
The team work it takes in order to care for these beauties is tremendous. Each member from the barn cat to farrier and beyond is a precious resource. You all are amazing!
Fascinating stuff! And hopefully it gives both horses a lot of relieve.
My horse was prone to laminitis. Apparently common in brood mares. She did not have it when I bought her, but her hooves showed signs she had had it in the past. When she was older (28 ) pedal bone had dropped. We thought she would have to be put to sleep. My wonderful farrier created 2 shoes that were back to front and upside down, with heels! that stopped her from having to lean back to avoid pain. It was a trial and the farrier said he did not know if it would work, but worth a try. She lived another 2 happy years. She was able to canter and even buck on occasion. I never rode her again, but we had some fun. These men are amazing
that is an amazing story
@@greghammer4000 Thank you Greg. It's nice to talk about her to people who understand x
Your farrier is an exceptional craftsman, the shoes are quite lovely!
This farrier seems to know what he is doing and does it well!!
Hi Yvonne , i know you take great care of Uneik to help her pain , thats why we love you so much , she can’t tell you so you read her discomfort which is so good and the art of being a caring owner , you can tell the way she interacts with you she knows you love her , the bond she has with you is just beautiful.
my love to all liz from UK 🇬🇧 xxxx
I have watched many farriers in action. This man is is truly gifted in his trade....
The farrier does excellent work. Walloubet is so relaxed her trust is absolute!
her eye is so soft and kind. a sweetheart!!
The Shoe looks more comfortable with the leather. I'm sure the horse feels a lot better. The farrier truly is an artist.🥰❤️
Farriers do some true hard work. God bless those men.
Having a horse is like financing a movie star or a queen! There’s always some item of care or maintenance that has to be carried out. I think horses are probably more easy-going and grateful than movie stars, though!
Good point!
Fascinating just like Queen Unieks! What a brilliant Farrier!❤
This is so oddly satisfying
I've owned Tennessee Walker's and I've never seen my farrier do such work... Beautiful the way he is with your horses
tennessee walk is such a bizarre thing to do, i can't believe people are still allowed to do that. yoyoy??
@@raymondo162 I don't understand what your response is about. My horses are naturally gaited I do nothing to increase their gate. It is a breed of horse
@@kathleengowarty2742 I think unfortunately there are so many videos seen of people doing such cruel and horrible things to get horses to change their gait or exaggerate their natural gait, that many people start to think it is how it is always done. Those cruel ignorant people give the good ones a bad name, for sure. I think Raymond has probably seen those stories and, rightfully so, gets concerned. Most reputable people would never do things like that. But of course, it only takes a few to bring the great majority down. 🧡🧡
I love the Tennessee Walker. In my top 3 favorite breed of horses. Handsome tall horses with a beautiful gait and comfortable mount. Unfortunate Raymond has associated some of the practices of "soring" by some unethical horse owners to think all do it. In fact most Tennessee Walker owners arbore this practice, and the USDA has put in strict changes to end this practice on all Tennessee Walkers and related breeds. For those who do not know what "soring" is: Soring is the practice of intentionally abusing Tennessee walking horses and related breeds to exaggerate their gait, causing the animals pain each time they step so they lift their front legs higher in what is known as the "Big Lick." I hope Raymond will see these replies and clarify he was not wrongfully insinuating this of you 🤞👍
@@pakejeffje6238 oh that is a horrendous practice done by many show barns. I had a feeling that's what the poster was alluding to. So it took be back a bit.Watching your friesians reminds me of the way a walker moves. Your horses are absolutely gorgeous there
Waloubet is such a beautiful horse, very tall too !!!
I hope they will give some comfort to Uniek and Walou.🤞🤞 I have Rheumatoid Arthritis. When it affects the knees, joints in lower leg and feet, it can be miserable and in severe cases disabling. All of your weight is on these joints. Just imagine 1300 pounds of horse on sore and inflamed joints. 😖 Thank you Yvonne and Myrthe for giving best care.🥰
Pake Jeffje, sorry you have the aches of arthritis... Know how that can be!!
Exercise, in the warm pool, I found very helpful .
Take care!. Lisa🌏🇦🇺🐨
@@lisaaslanis690 I try to manage. I take medication for it, but the disease is progressive. Main thing, I have to balance some activity with plenty of rest. Otherwise over use of any joint, and I get bad flare ups. Yes, thank you for you concern 😊 water therapy is good. I swim/wade around in the indoor pool at the retirement complex I live at. It does help👍
Pake Jeffje..... Just keep on trying, not much more to be done .. but much admire your spirit!
With love, Lisa in Los Angeles. 🌏🇦🇺🐨. ☮️💞🐎🐎. 😷. 🤗
Walou getting a "mani pedi" with the girls. That was very interesting to see how they create the special shoes & add silicone gel for shock absorption. The ferrier took extra care to make sure everything was perfect even pulling out a nail that wasn't right. These guys care about the horses they work with, a standing ovation to them.👏👏👏👏👍
The farrier is a artist!
I love it! Horses have orthopedic shoes just like humans!
So interesting! Had no idea shoeing was that much work. Walou is so sweet and patient 💕
Having arthritis in my foot, I know what a relief it is to have good cushioning.
your horses all seem to stand very well for your farrier.......a testament to both you AND him!!!!!
That was fascinating. Do you think farriers developed the technique in league with veterinarians? Your farrier and his assistant/apprentice really are amazing. Waloubet is such beautiful horse. It's great to know your arthritic Uniek gets the very same loving shoeing by this incredible man.
That is quite the skill! The horses seem to know what’s about to happen and are so calm around him. Wonderful video.
I do find that fascinating, how calm and accepting the horses are of getting new shoes.
that is also a tribute to this man's talent...he has a way with the horses
The farrier videos are so satisfying to watch 😍
Loved the look that Walou gave the farrier. She's very patient. I like watching a farrier putting horseshoes on.
So glad they can get special insoles, awesome 🤩
WOW!!! What an interesting new learning experience! THAnk you Yvonne!! I'm so glad they have those kind of shoes!! I had NO idea!😄 Can I ask ... how long those shoes can remain on? JW is a very good farrier & Walou was so sweet n patient. SO glad Uniek's got them as well. Maybe you & I should get them for our RA!!🤭😂🤣😂👍 just teasing. NO I didn't notice the back hooves first because I was so into watching JW & thinking about those cool shoes!! You got me on that one!!
LOVE TO ALL!!❤💜❤💜❤
Grandma Sherry
I did not know you have RA...Me too. I hope you do not have bad in your feet. Just this last year mine has now started to attack my feet.😖 My meds help, but as you know, not a cure all. I have to have special very cushioning shoes. I put on first thing out of bed. Hope all goes well Sherry and you are getting your strength and mojo back. I always love reading your comments and happy happy emojis. 😊
@@pakejeffje6238 YOU TO??? Oh Pake!! I am. Sorry and yes it I'd ALL in my feet for years now. I also got neuropathy in my hands & feet from the chemo I got ... so I'm very unsteady to walk & THAT'S why I was so intent on those shoes!! No dr has told me anything other than to buy myself support shoes that are WAY out of my price range but I have my handy cane!!(its so cool it glows in the dark)😃😄😉 I am now eating again & getting my strength back so I'm on the mend now!! WOOHOO 😃👍🙆♀️🙆♀️
Awww thank you .... I look for your comments as well ... always so smart & informative PLUS just a pleasure to see you every day!! Love you dear friend. We RA's gotta stick together.... you're right ...no cure, terrible pain, but it makes us tough ladies hard to take down!! 💥💪pow ...right in the kisser!!

@@pakejeffje6238 Feel better,Pake Jeffje!!! Lisa 🌏🇦🇺🐨
This is yet another great educational video for all who want to learn more about horse husbandry care and it also helps for those of us who’d maybe like to have horses of our own who’ve never had the privilege of caring for such magnificent creatures thank you Yvonne. Just as Myrthe pampers Waloubet it’s very evident that Queen Uniek gets the same devotion from you she is in excellent hands without a doubt and has the best mem in the world,it’s beautiful to see the bond between you both.💖🐎🧲👑
I love the way Walou is looking around towards the farrier as if to say ‘could you please check if you have this style in a 39’
Don't know who is more amazing the Farrier or the wonderful horse, both are very patient. The end result is perfect!
When the world seems to be more than I can handle I watch you with your horses. It calms me and rests me. I love horses. Thank you.
The blue tape matches her halter. If your farrier ever needs a reference, have him share this video with all the positive comments.
Such an art! A pleasure to watch.
With the many things that startle these horses, I can’t believe how calm and still they are for the farrier!
I was watching your video of going to pick up the horse, Yvonne! She is a beauty! The "fast" ride thru the countryside was so lovely! I love to look at the houses and everything! It is all so different from where I live, in Southern California, USA! Then you went to see and pick up the new truck/horse carrier! Wow! You all will be riding in style!! Just the best for the Friesians! The sky is sooo blue on top of the clouds! The clouds look like they are suspended
by threads hanging from the blue sky! A georgeous day! Thank you Yvonne, for taking us on that beautiful trip! I loved it!!💗🐎💝🌳🐎🌾🐎🌳🐎🌾🐎🌳🐎🌾🚘🏠🌳🐎🚘🏠🌳🌾🐎🚘🏠

Awww, Walou is such a good girl. Now she has her fancy shoes, very pretty shoes with leather and everything. The other girls must admire them, I sure do. Glad her and Uniek are getting the extra care shoes.
Wow! Awesome video! 🧡🖤
Who knew that horses could get custom made orthopedic horse shoes! Amazing...
Horse looking over his shoulder, like “dude, what are you doing?”
All jokes aside the fact that the horse is curious is a clear sign of her comfort.
Wow very interesting and great craftsmanship👏
Now I know why we say about the beautiful gait of the Friesian horses ‘they seem to walk on air’💨 It’s all the farriers magic🎩🪄
hi yvonne its me victoria anne I made a new account I had to. for reasons lol but hi how are you hows your day going. and how are your horses if you own any?
A true work of art! Have to be quick, efficient, good eyes and loads of patience. You know when you have a great blacksmith, is when the horse relaxes enough to almost fall asleep!!🐴🐎🐴🐎🐴🐎🐴
I looked at Waloubet's face and heard, "Ah! A shoe salesman who knows how to get a proper fit on a lady's shoes! Aren't these new flats just fabulous!"
My back hurts just looking what a farrier does. Much respect.
Loved watching the Farrier and how calm Waloubet was during the shoeing!! I have seen Farriers put shoes on Giraffes and how their Keepers train even the little ones to work with the Farriers.
This is fascinating to watch! Thank you for sharing with us!
Very informative video today. Now, I have something in common with Walou and Uniek. 😀 I have also special orthopedic shoes.
Wow, what a great idea! AND a lot of work, too.
Wow the silicone going into the Horseshoe is like us wearing the jelly inserts wow. He does incredible work, the horses doesn't seen to mind so relax an gentle.They all are loving there new shoes. Great video Yvonne leaning so much, Thank you💞you give them so much love.💞💞💞💞💞💞💞🐎🐎🐎🐎🐎🐎🐎🐎🐎🐎🐎🐎🐎🐎🐎🐎🐎🐎🐎
This is so great that they have this available so that the horses don't have to suffer. 💕
All the love you give the horses should come back to you three times stronger 💞💕
Uniek deserves these wonderful shoes as she is such a good Mom; and her accepting a different baby than her own is just so great of her. A lot of horses probably would not do that but she is special.
I have always enjoyed watching farriers work. 🧡🧡
Thank you Yvonne, once again for another fascinating video of the love and the care that goes into maintaining our beloved pets/companions/family members. Kudos to you Yvonne & Team Friesian!👍🏻💖
The farrier is very creative and patient. The horse is so good.
Thank you for the explanation and video. I saw a Friesien horse once with this kimd of shoe and kept me wondering if it was to alleviate some pain of the limbs. Now I know, thank you!
Thanks for teaching us about using this kind if shoe for sore legs! Think I need a pair too! The farrier is excellent. Goed zo to Walou, who was very patient! 😊👍💕🐎♥️
💙 Rewatching for Yvonne.💙💙💙💙
The technology for shoeing horses is amazing nowadays, l’ve seen videos of horses being shod with shoes that are not metal, it must be like wearing a pair of slippers lol, tfs x Julie 🇬🇧
That is so cool! What a fascinating invention to help the horses have less pain.
I'm coming over soon to get my personal Fresian shoes tailored made. 🤗🤗
Not your Parisian 🗼shoes but your Friesian🏇 shoes! 😉
those nails will make a mess of your feet !! ;-)
@@raymondo162 just being a little light hearted on a Friday evening.
@@Kim-lc3fv yes, a new upcoming brand
@@Kim-lc3fv That's it!!!😁👍
Waloubet is so sweet. I never got to see a horse with such short hair get shoes fitted before. I watch a lot of S&S Horseshoeing, Sheldon does a lot of special order shoeing but not with horses where you can see so much of the shape of the hoofs backside. Thanks so much for sharing, these videos are so relaxing to watch.
Lucky horses to have owners like Yvonne and the staff from this stable who cares of them so much!❤️😍
Very educational. Thank you Yvonne. You take the best care of the horses. My granddaughter think Walou looks like a horse for a princess. I told her she belongs to Princess Myrthe💜👸👑
What a fascinating occupation - the skill and craftsmanship us truly amazing.
Every time I watch one of these videos I learn something. This is a wonderful video!
How wonderful, that there are things that can be done that help with sore joints. I know where I’m going when my knees get rickety 😁!
So interesting. I have sensitive feet and have to have cushioned souls too. Such good care all of you show for your horses.
Such a skilled farrier! Such a patient horse!
I love Waloubet's fancy shoes, she's beautiful ❤❤❤
It is a lot of work for the welfare of the horse. Nice job.🥰🙌
So fashionable with Blue nails. She’s ready for the beach now!
It always amazes me that your horses are so patient! I love the blue nails too!
She is a beautiful gray mare,I love her new shoes and the farrier did an awesome job of shoeing this mare
I truly enjoy that video, that is a lot of work and he definitely knows his stuff. Thanks for sharing Yvonne
Thank you, Yvonne, for such an informative video. There's so much more to caring for horses than one would think. I appreciate you showing us all the different ways in which you care for the horses.
Blue nails!! That's so funny! I'm always so fascinated when you video the farrier! You teach me so much.
Me too!
thanks a lot, Yvonne, for sharing such interesting things about horses🥰🥰🥰🥰
How nice that this remedy exists to help the horses. Fascinating video, thank you.
Yvonne, dat was zeer interessant om te zien, dankjewel voor de video!
Rewatch for Yvonne&Bauke
So fascinating to see an expert at his craft! A combination of skill and art!
