I have never ever touched a horse before in my 33 years on this planet but, I watched the entire video and actually enjoyed it. Big ups to the man for his brilliant technique and craft.
Man, ur *Missing* out
You need to get out the house more Don! Like I know us black folk don't venture too deep into the woods.... but goddam.. 😂..
GD GD Horse is just one animal, I see many, in zoos, national parks and in aquariums too. Just horses that I only see from far.
@@Therongunner There are some local fairs and events where you can see draft horses up close and personal. The horse is different than just an animal. The horse has helped man in so many ways. Growing food, fires, wars and transportation just to name a few. Time to add this to your bucket list and get up close and personal with a Clydesdale.
@@Therongunner I love that you said, "big up" ! I say it, too. Haha
Don’t have a clue about horses but There’s something about watching a pro do their thing....
Right? There's loads of highly detailed jobs like this and watching a pro breeze through it is just a pleasure.
You'll appreciate this video then. :)

animal cruelty?
@@papandrakis How is this animal cruelty? It would be cruel to not take care of this mare's feet and ask her to work as her hooves grow to unmanageable lengths and split/crack, causing laminitis, separation, and possible hoof cap removal. Such a process would take years to happen, and would definitely be painful for the horse.
Its a really skilled job, too
This is the first time I have seen a specific trailer-based equipment of this design being used for shoeing horses. It is safer for both horse and worker. Your entire setup is great. Thanks for sharing it.
It looks like it might be easier on the farrier's back. Is it?
With all the cow trimming videos I've always wondered why farriers don't use things like this.
My respect to this man, being a farrier seems like a very physically demanding profession.
Tell that to my farrier doing our 2200lbs Shires without a cage, holding those huge feets up. He's amazing for anyone around Montreal
duh!
My father was a farrier that was one of the few that could do hot and cold corrective shoeing and is a legend in the horse world in our area. He passed away about 8 months ago and this video brought back so many memories of my childhood and going every weekend with him. He was old school and did every horse holding there feet but for sure that's a amazing table. Great job to the man in the video and my hats off to him keeping the trade alive. This is now one of my fav videos on TH-cam and thank you for my trip back to better times with my dad 😀😥
Sorry for your loss
So can the horse feel that heat? I mean, his Hooves were on fire.
@@renayparrack7045 Nope, not really. Hooves are made of the same material as your fingernails (keratin). If you put your nail next to/on something hot (not that I recommend you do so) you feel the heat, but don't get burned. The longer the nail, the less heat you feel. :)
Nice memory of your father. Sorry.
Yes people dont understand there is difference between farrier and farrier. He is one who knows hot shoeing and shaping the horse shoe.
To all the people disliking : This does not hurt to the horse at all. It can't feel that part of its hooves, they are mostly made out of the same material as finger nails, but stronger. It can't feel any of it. If it could actually feel it it would have freaked out.
@Apeman Commeth I'm sure it can feel the heat but I think it would have a larger reaction to it if it was painful. Even if it is painful and lets say the horse is just trained to deal with the pain I think if it was to much the horse would freak out.
Also, about the wild horses. I'm not an expert on horses, but I think that when they are in captivity they don't wear down their hooves as much and so they need trimmed. A wild horse probably wears down it's own hooves.
@@thorn9382 sd
@@sureshdhaira2295 what?
Chezz horse can actually feel areas of their hooves just not in those specific areas. They can feel the inner part of their hoof including what is called their frog. Their frog is a sensitive part of their hoof.
Thank you for this information, I'm panicking because he's hurting the beautiful animal. Now I know.
This farrier is a true professional and the horse is so chill. Great job !
This dude handled those animals with care and passion. He clearly knows what he is doing. 👌👍

Love watching farriers shoeing horses_ something so relaxing about it, this guy knows what he's doing to_ pure skill.
What a chill horse. So well-behaved. Doesn't care one bit.
Ive only reshoed one horse in my life but i gotta say that this horse is SUPER well behaved compared to others ive seen! This horse seems like it doesnt mind its being reshoed whatsoever. Great job my guy!
That was just amazing to watch. The artistry that you possess, WOW! Surprised by having all the equipment in a truck now, WOW again! The horse being so patient and good, triple WOW!
Well done... very nice technique... and his setup and rig was very impressive... plus he was as patient as the horse was... lol... bravo... 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
This guy needs his own TH-cam channel. Nice to see a young farrier at work!
He’s someone I would trust...Nice trailer unit. Very well engineered. His safety was never in danger. As for the horse. He/she is no stranger to the farrier.

how often do you have to do this? and how much is the cost? looks like only a pro should even try it.
If it's a ' standard sized horse, I believe, about £18 or £20 a corner here in the uk. Every 6 weeks if lots of road work, not much longer if all soft, as it grows the same rate as your finger nails. The fixing nails are made from lead. They do a burn fit to make sure it's well versed in and not too likely to come loose. The gouging etc doesn't hurt the horse at all: just like cutting your own nails. The toecap clips on the shoes make sure the shoes don't come loose with general use. The rear hooves are slimmer so the horse can dig in better, so those shoes have two toecap clips, not one ( as in the front and broader hoof). They also usually keep a foal close by when mum goes for shoes, so they get the idea and smells etc.
A farrier with a ' good eye' can also put extra weight on one side of the shoe or other, so if a horse walks with a cast out to one side ( and so keeps clipping his ankle with his own shoe if it inwards) to make the hoof throw straight when walking. I've seen them make a shoe with a temporary plate across to guard a hoof whilst its healing/ growing out.
I lived on a farm, with heavy plough horses when I was a kid ; I used to stand there weeping when they burned the shoe to fit, no matter how much my mum reassured me they didn't feel it. Ours were 2 Belgians and a Suffolk punch, called Prince. He did the milk round cart every day for years. He didn't need instructions, he knew every stop and start by heart. Even in those pea soup fog we got in the late 50's/ early sixties. In the winter when it was freezing, at the last stop, you could say " walk on prince" jump off the cart, and dash across the field to get to the kitchen for a hot drink. Prince would have to do the long driveway to get back, on his own, and we'd be warmed up by the time he got there. Hot tea, bacon on toast for us, and warm water and bran and carrots for him.Happy days: my 'Saturday job' was a single barrel, bolt action .410 shotgun, a pocket full of cartridges, and off round the barns and yards, looking for rats until lunchtime. I was 11. I very much doubt H& S would let that go these days :0)

I think he is quite possibly one of the handsomest farriers I've ever seen lol. He also did an excellent job handling the horse and getting the trim and shoeing just right. I love seeing this level of craftsmanship in any trade.
Mesmerizingly satisfying to watch! What ever he was paid, he earned every cent! Great work!
So glad to see a draft with good shooeing ! We see so many of them with bad feet because they’re not given a good trim and shoe. Amazing job !
Our farrier not only trims them every 4 weeks but does them without cages. 4 Shires, and a Belgian cross. Their feets are NICE
This dude is a professional for sure.
he's obviously not
More than you
@@krednevalga1686 he obviously is otherwise he wouldn’t be able to do it.

Oswaldo Vega omg
What a beautiful horse 🐎 the shoe's look so good that horse looked so calm nice job
That's one pretty slick operation. Some real thought and skill went into that. Top job.
Some of the farriers do the shoeing this way and some do not , this way is easier on the horse and farrier. the nails in the hoof do not hurt the horse at all if they are driven right and not into the sensitive tissue . The horse has to be started in the shoeing stanchion at a early age so he or she knows that it will not hurt them and they will not struggle with it. I appreciate this video and have seen this done at the shoeing schools here in Washington .
betty fox my farrier does not do hot shoeing. I used to have one farrier that did hot shoeing then he retired, so I got someone else that does not it. My horses are fine either way, without hot shoeing they are the same
Back in the day our farrier hot shod one of ours resulting from a navickular (sp) problem. He later ended up doing special pads and corrective shoeing. It worked. Donnie the Cornell Farrier grad, was quite the magician with that horse. No stanchion while he worked. We'd hold them all when he worked. Shoeing or just trimming. But he was all business till he'd finish up.
Didn't see this fella clinch his nails... or did I miss it? Nice shape and feet looked good. Good job. Thanks for sharing.

Beautiful work and very calm horse but i can imagine its a different situation when they have this done for the first time!
esuohdica for sure because most of the time when I green horse gets shawd for the first time it can be a little dangerous, risky, horse may spook!!
Horse learn how to have their legs handled when they're very young, so this isnt an issue

Hot shoe is a perfect fit. What a well~ bred horse. Farrier is par excellence. Delight to watch, bet he has a few stories to tell. Thank you...D
Occupations like this can luckily never be automated or replaced by robots. Excellent craftsmanship right there.
It can easily be automated or done by robots. The question is, do you want it done properly? If so, you need a trained professional like this guy and nothing else will do.
Bro I don’t even like horses, I watched the whole video.
wow!!! great video!! I loved the craftsman ship that went into making the horseshoe. It was just another day at the office for the horse.
I'm amazed at how well behaved that horse is!
Great subject. You present many of the aspects of owning a horse that others over look. And do so in a manner that is interesting. Thanks for sharing!
Good to see a hardworking tradesman in action, and to admire the patience of the big placid horse.
Wowww 😘 custom made shoes for this beautiful big cookie 😍💕❤️
It's hard work but I bet he does it with love bc he's helping animals and all it matters is that this doesn't hurt the animal, so I hope with all this burning tearing knocking etc.., and I'm SURE this beautiful cookie deserves all the care in the world
He's such a beautiful horse ❤️💕❤️💕
Wow this is a craft! I enjoy the knife and hammer technique very efficient. Excellent design for the chute also. The horse will have happy hooves!!
i love when the shoe is pulled out and it’s literally bright orange. it looks soooo cool 😻 it’s hard to believe that the horse doesn’t even feel it!!
Well you marry me ❤❤
Horse is probably worth more than my house and that job is probably more expensive than my car
christian Q oh god this is true isn’t it? Wow...
The horse is a work horse, hence, it has to be less expensive that what it does (pull a carriage) the farrier is a very well equiped one man operation which also must be less expensive than pulling the carriage. The job is done roughly every 6 months. The horse is usefull around 8-10 yrs.
Hooves are trimmed on horses every 4-8 weeks, cows are on the 6 month schedule
Ok. I think it's time for my pedicure now.
I pay about $200.00 US per horse to have my team shod... reset about every 6 to 8 weeks...
This isolation really has me watching a whole video of horseshoeing at 3 in the morning, and I’ve never thought about or plan to own and take care of a horse.
It's a year later and I'm doing the same thing im the Caribbean
Wow! This guys tools and mobile station is next level stuff! Kudos man!
I grew up on a horse farm but I’ve never seen this technique. Pretty cool😎 Thank you!
Fantastic! Farrier is an artist. The horse was so well behaved.
There's something special about watching a great tradesman at work like this.
I can imagine how one can derive a lot of satisfaction from doing a job like this. Just puzzled and amazed that the farrier is occasionally touching the red hot shoes with his bare hands. This was one of my dream alternative professions. The hutch sure makes the job easier. Else bending over in the 'deadly farrier's hold' has damaged many a good back.
@A B d'accord. Merci monsieur. And your casual assumption that I'd understand your French is interesting.

A craftsman with amazing skills and compassion.
Something about being outdoors working on this magnificent animal made me watch the entire thing :)
Man that’s a big horse! If it didn’t feel like getting the manicure, and a new pair of custom Air Force ones, no one could’ve made it! Thanks for sharing, you have a very intimidating clientele!
Very informative. I never saw hot shoeing before. Wish this dude was around when I had my horses. He's fast and thorough.
See, this kind of thing can't be replaced with robots. There is certain beauty in this skill! Great work 👏
As a full timer, this makes me a little jealous at how little his back hurt afterwards thanks to his genius of a stock. I feel he could have shaped a little tighter, but still good.
Heavy horses need big wide feet to support their bulk. Also these horses work in mud and forest, so they need stable, solid feet.
Agree, great stock.
Damn horse walked off like it was going to star in a "NEW" beer commercial!!! lmao :)

Young man with big experience .Bravo!
Growing up, our horse knew the farrier's truck and would happily be worked on. His trick was giving the horse a peanutbutter oat treat (that he made himself with natural peanut butter and feed oats) at the beginning and end of the session, as well as developing a repour with all the horses that he cared for.
He was also who clearly loved horses and it showed in the care that he took in every aspect of his work. No good farrier would last long if they didn't love, respect, and understand the animals that they were caring for.
This guy is so skilled and the horse so patient. Great work showing the skills of the farrier.
Het doet mij goed om zo'n geweldige vakman te aanschouwen.
Crazy, seems like it should hurt, but glad to see it didn't and the farrier seems very professional to me.
It's for the horse's wellbeing. And it's just a big nail, so no nerves or anything in there

Wow! I love watching a skilled craftsman. Beautiful job!
Man I was just so impressed I yelled to my girlfriend you have to see this beautiful work
I always like to watch another farrier do his job. This guy's technique is quite different from the way I do it. I don't use a stock but it's a clever design.
I know hooves are tuff, I always trimmed my own horses but I've never seen anyone use a hammer and knife like this to do that before. He's got a neat set up and much safer than trying to wrestle with a horse this size to keep their hoof up in the air. Love his invention for containing the horse too.
If the horse could have felt that it would have reared screamed and kicked in pain so I don't get why so many disliked this! Such skill and technique from the farrier to fo this
The rhythm of the hammer on the anvil is an art....nice job
This man is so expert in his profession

Farrier has to know all of it, inside and out. Add in how to adjust the hoof to proper angles for whatever sport that particular horse is in, adding or subtracting weight to one side of a shoe to correct a small movement fault, doctoring any number of hoof ailments, etc, for any number of horses in multiple different disciplines? All to keep a half-ton to FULL-ton animal and their rider/handler safe and ALIVE? Something as simple as a thrown shoe can cause a fall/broken neck. The baggage guy just needs to worry about keeping everything going to the right destination. Trust me. Two VASTLY different jobs.
Am I trying to belittle the baggage handler? Not at all. But there's no contest as to who has more riding on their shoulders.
Does everyone know that it doesn’t hurt? Why is there even dislikes,.... if you didn’t like the vid then why did you click on it? If the horse was in a pain he would neigh and buck and kick and rear but he didn’t do any of that so he’s fine . The horses is getting a pedicure
You can hurt the horse if you don't know what your doing. The horse don't feel anything I worked with a guy for about 2 years who did this I've gotten kicked a couple time & bitten too
This horse _was_ kicking though. Or at least, trying to. And there were lots of edits in the video.
Péter Ferenczy no he wasn’t he was kicking because he probably didn’t want his feet touched 👍🏻
Good to know I didn’t know if it was in pain or not
Jdoggie9 K the horse probably did not know what was happening
That horse is a giant. Very beautiful too and calm throughout this process
You should see Clydesdale hooves, they are ginormous.
We have two horses where I go to college who have ginormous feet, one Clydesdale and one Irish horse (possibly an Irish race horse but not sure).
They are both little shits, not for people who are nervous to handle (I’m not allowed to take either of them, aka lead them out of their field).
Look, if that horse didnt want things done, you'd not be able to do a thing, its big its strong, and youd end up in the hospital or worse. Even regular horses will give you a good beating if they are not enjoying it. He did his work efficiently without anything fancy, and the horse is well trained to be patient with all this noise and holding its legs up with rope and such. Probably just wanted it over with to get back to work
