I’ve spent quite a bit of time viewing hoof care videos from all over the world. This very talented individual can perform minor miracles on overgrown hooves. Fascinating and satisfying. Bravo to you sir! You’re one of the best I’ve seen.
Naw. I disagree. He’s cupping out that hoof and looks like he quicked that poor horse. He was way to aggressive. Don’t buy the BS from this dude. He wouldn’t touch one of my horses. A hack job with zero concerns about how much he’s taking off . That horse should have had this taken care of in two to three appointments.Then he puts a hot shoe directly to the hoof. He’s an amateur.
😊@@beatrixjones2982Dude...it's sole bruising from having to walk with the uneven pressure and distal weight distribution due to the hoof overgrowth. The frog can bruise up like that because it isn't meant to carry that weight. You can find the same thing happens in humans who wear poorly fitting shoes or have a foot condition/deformity/disease. Diabetics who can't feel their feet often develop tissue bruising and pressure ulcers underneath calluses that only become apparent when the calluses or corns are shaved away. You can see that he didn't hit the quick as there is no active bleeding, and he even talks about it specifically! A hot shoe doesn't harm dead hoof anymore than heat would hurt your fingernails. Oh, and sometimes the trim has to over correct to fix a problem, like shifting the weight more forward/back to stretch tendons that have tightened with the improper walking posture. You can see something similar with, usually autistic, kids who toe walk. They require braces to flatten the feet and stretch the Achilles tendons and calf muscles slowly over time. Modeling out the hoof combined with the extra rear shoe length helps take stress off the frog and shift the weight so the bruising can heal and the flesh underneath doesn't ulcer.
It is great when you explain the parts of the horses hoof/foot! Watching the process, some of it is the farrier's eye as well as experience, an ability to see spatial relationships making the remedial shoe. It is an art. Thank you.
Farriers will never be replaced by robots. The good ones are very hard to find and worth their weight in gold. Keep them happy when they come: horse ready with clean, dry feet; airy and open area for the work; flat, clean surface for the horse to stand on; broom and muck bucket at the ready to sweep up the area while the farrier is at the forge; horse in a fly sheet to keep him from discomfort and standing quietly and at ease. Bottles of cold water available throughout, check book / cash, expressions of gratitude.
@@sage6336 they quite literally smith their own shoes. A simple knife takes similar skills; I wouldn't be surprised if they could do knives. Just because they only smith shoes (and possibly the nails they use) for this service doesn't mean they don't individually have interest or skill to make other things!
It looks to me, who knows nothing about such things, like a really beautiful job. And it was lovely to see your little children there, smiling and happy to be with you ... it is a good thing for them to see our fellow creatures treated with kindness and respect. Thank you for the work you do.
I had an old cattle dog that would love when ever the farrier showed up because she would eat everything too! Don’t have horses anymore and my old cattle dog is long gone. Brought back memories. I just enjoy watching you work and reminiscing about old times. Thanks
@@haroldchoate7497 I too have zero knowledge of this stuff but find the craftsmanship fascinating. I’ve read through comments that these animals WILL buck and lose their minds if the wrong person does it. According to what I’ve found, if a ferrier is good at what they do, the animals won’t let anyone near their hooves. Only that one ferrier they trust.
@@elephantgrass631 that’s true in some cases yes. But usually it’s all in how the horse was trained. A good horse owner/trainer will have them somewhat used to handling their feet way before the first time a farrier ever works on them. A good farrier does matter and I’ve seen a lot of horses only let one guy work on them but for the most part as long as the guy knows what their doing most horses are fine with whoever shoes them.
They need their hooves trimmed every four to eight weeks typically. They do not always need shoes but in this case it did. Horses are a lot of work and are expensive, as the saying goes “if it wasn’t for my horse I wouldn’t have had that year in college!”
@@teresa62ish No. The hoof continues to grow. It is used to either protect from excessive wear in a working horse or to correct problems in the hoof and/or leg. The shoe needs to be removed, the hoof trimmed and the shoe "reset" on a regular basis to maintain a healthy hoof.
@@teresa62ish Like the other commenter said, it has to be done again in six to eight weeks depending on the horse. The hoof will start to grow and actually pull the shoe forward. Those nail "points" that come through on the outside of the hoof will become loose (popped clinches) and the horse can lose the shoe out in the pasture!
Great farrier-I'd love to know how much intensive handling these neglected rescues get before they can stand so quietly & calmly for the farrier. Kudos to those putting all the time & work in that sets these horses on a path of good health & soundness 👏👏👏
Best Farrier Ever! Watching an Artisan 👨🎨at work solving horse 🐎 hoof problems, an absolute joy to watch. I rode horses as a teenager mustering cattle here in Australia. Now people use motorbikes 🏍 and ATV’s so unfortunately horses 🐎 aren’t around much
No, thats training. An untrained horse, unless very weak and defeated, will not allow its feet to be messed with. But this training is one of the most fundamental and important things to teach, so most owners care a lot about it. A farrier wont work on an unruly horse.
@John Martlew horses get their feet regularly picked out I suppose it feels no different from that, although the first time getting their shoes done they will be a bit skittish
The long heels give stability, & the rolled toe helps w/ break over...the part of the stride where the toe comes off the ground. It's easier on the horse if his toe rolls off rather than fighting a square, abrupt edge...kinda like trying to tip his foot over wearing a board...
The hoof knife scraping the hoof scratches my brain itch. It reminds me of shaving away at fresh coconut meat. 😅 Unfortunately, then I'm hungry for coconut and I have none. 🥺
I went to farrier School at my local college back in the day, but I only ever really trimmed my own horses and friends and stuff, I worked as a helper for an old-timer guy in my area for a couple years before he retired, but I don't have extensive knowledge 😅I'm super curious what the purpose of the extra-long heel on those shoes 🤔 I'm sure it's to help correct something and I love more knowledge on the subject 💜 I used to run barrel horses and I always had to make sure the shoes lined up perfectly cuz he would step on his own heal and rip his shoes off, I'm always interested in all the different styles of shoes and what they're used for 💜 it'd be amazing to hang out at this school for one day, I don't have horses at the moment but I hope to have them again someday, your videos are keeping my mind fresh 😁
I just stumbled onto this video and I'm very impressed with the craftsmanship of the farrier and the camera man! I'd never seen a horse shoe been made before just so fascinating but why is the shoe sticking out at the back and kinda upturned at the front? It is probably obvious to horsey people but I like to learn stuff from watching videos so could someone please explain?. I'm subscribing straight away because I want to see more ❤
I saw that the cattle Ferrier using power tool/grinder to trim the hoof . Is it possible to adopt the same method for horses as well? or may be the sound emitted by the grinder may cause the beast restless. Appreciate your answer. BTW I really admire and respect your job sir.
Some farriers do use hoof grinders on horses. :) But not as frequently because horses can be skittish and also the hoof grinders are largely used so a cow farrier can get through dozens of animals in a day (which is something most horse farriers don't really need).
those bits at the heel of the shoe, im assuming they are there to correct the angle the hoof strikes the ground? because of the overgrowth it was obvious the fella was walking on his heel
Good job on some mighty long feet, after a couple more shoeings, you'll have em in good shape. I hate to see people mistreat an animal like that. You couldn't tell there was a white hoof under all of that crap, not until you took a rasp to it. 🐎👍🇺🇸
man the final product is very nice. its too bad many of the animals you take care of get ao overgrown. but thats where you all come in. nice work helping these furries walk more steady and pain free.
I don't have a horse and haven't spent all that much time around horses, but I can't stop watching these videos.
Love these videos! The shop dog is so lucky. Fresh chewies in every flavor from Percheron to Falabella!
Well said!

Nothing like watching a expert at work, well done. 🙂🙂
Love seeing the work you do. Could you take a shot of the entire horse? That would be nice to see the horses that you are working on.
And it would be great to see the horse walk on his new shoe😀
@@debaniol9321 Very much so. We need a before and after. Maybe they don't have the time.
@@debaniol9321 It seems to me that they are featuring that now.
I have no vocational knowledge of this whatsoever, but these videos make me fall asleep 👍🏻
Muito bom 🇧🇷
They fascinate me. I can’t get over how the horse let’s the farrier clip, shave and file on it’s hoof without bucking and raising hell.
But did learn anything? Do you appreciate high skill levels, and the physiological care of beautiful animals?

This horse was in great need of new shoes, thanks to you Sir, you are making him some really good hand made shoes. Thank you.
Man, I really wish y’all would produce a video on when/why certain shoe designs are ised
I was also curious as to why he applied extended heels. Was it to support the flexor tendons after being stressed for so long, I wonder?
I was wondering about that too. I don't think I've ever seen a shoe extend so far past the back of the hoof and I'd love to know why.
Someone is not paying attention
The horse doesn’t have a heel the shoe will keep in from wearing til it can grow back
Easy when u have the 3 little helpers lending a hand your a very lucky man and brilliant skill especially making the shoe All the best from Ireland
I think they're addictive Dairy hoof trimming is the same Beats watching some house improvement programmes with the wife any day take care 😎
I don't own horses and have never watched this done. Amazed that the horse remains so calm through all of this.
I can assure that the horse is grateful. Beautiful work.
This is a amazing job of repairing that hoof and make it work for the horse, great job.
Damn. I didnt know you had to do this much maintenance on a horse! Respect! Good work!

Another awesome transformation!
Bet the dogs LOVE all those hoof trimmings! Also, I love seeing all the dogs around the barn. And today… A BABY!
Such a remarkable outcome
amazing how they know to just keep their foot still and stable on the mount for the farrier, so well behaved. they must know they are there to help

Muy buenos resultados 👍 me gustó 👌 aprender...y gracias por sus zapatillas nuevas,por tanto trabajo y ayuda que ELLOS nos dan ......
Such skill! Well done Sir. Respect.
What is the purpose of the upturn at the toe and the extensions behind the heel?
Bump this
I think the extension gives extra support to a leg that has been bowed out due to lack of foot care.
The long heels give stability, & the rolled toe helps w/ break over...the part of the stride where the toe comes off the ground. It's easier on the horse if his toe rolls off rather than fighting a square, abrupt edge...kinda like trying to tip his foot over wearing a board...
Where there are farrierrs, there are dogs looking for a snack, without exception 🤣
Love these videos!

It's probably to prevent the hoof from tipping back, since the front of the hoof (I don't know the exact term in English) does not touch the ground
Lindo Trabalho ...Saudações Brasileira👍🏻🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷
Horse walked into the right facility!😍
Horse must feel so much better after being able to walk comfortably.
Very good quality videos and very impressive work.
Good job.your service is great.
7:46 looks like the horse is wearing a very expensive and a branded Shoe. 😂
Thanks for sharing your work and caring for these horses. KANSAS
Why do you burn the shoe onto the hoof?
Why did you choose to add spurs on the shoe’s rear edge and a curved toe at the leading edge?
Thanks.
The hoof is split at every nail. Is that not a problem?

I knewww a dog is gonna show up and take the trimmings 😄👍👍
Farriers are real craftsmen!
Just wondering why leave the shoe extend so far out the back of the hoof. Was this a posture correction on the hoof?
Congratulations very good job very professional congratulations 🍀🌸🌹♥👍
A true craftsman very skilled in his trade
Why do some shoes get grooves while others don't?
BRAVO,FELICITARI.Elena din Timișoara.
Beautiful!
Like that tool to hold the hoof....my farrier wasn't so lucky back in the 1960's.
You did a good job. I have two questions. Do you have a name for the shoe? Why did you do Rocktoe?
Felizidades por ese travago que ase por los animalitos.
Индивидуальные подковы = это вообще высший пилотаж👍
Dogs love the clippings of the hoof. They even eat them!
Un gran trabajo todo por ayudar aún amiguito muy trabajador
I’ve been wondering how they know how much hoof etc. to trim off and then I looked up hoof anatomy, which is very interesting.
Such nice hands
When I worked on a dude ranch, the dogs were always waiting to get the hoof cuttings. Natural chew toy
Very nice your work
Lol... Everytime the farrier would come to the stable all the dogs would gather around him and wait for the most yummy parts of the hooves 😊
This truly amazes me
The dog eating the clippings. Lol
Muito bom o seu trabalho e parabéns pelo carinho com os animais, Deus continue abençoando todos vocês em nome de Jesus Cristo

What are the little wings jutting out of the back for? Force the horse to put more weight forward?
Very good nice and clean.
I LOVE seeing the Before & After. The animal must be so happy that he got the work done by these professional farriers.
Nicely done that will help
蹄が伸び放題だ。ウマも歩きにくいはず。なぜ飼い主はここまで放置したのか。ウマがかわいそうだろう。
それでも装蹄師さんがきれいに削蹄しましたね。蹄鉄も、鉄の棒を叩いて曲げて、一から自分で作ってこしらえましたね。釘で打ち付け完成。すばらしい装蹄術でした。
Thanks for clarifying what the colors were because i was a little concerned
Poor guy also needs a brushing ang tlc. Very interesting videos, thank you for explaining why you do certain things.
Thank you for explaining....😉
man the final product is very nice. its too bad many of the animals you take care of get ao overgrown. but thats where you all come in. nice work helping these furries walk more steady and pain free.
Do the extended tail ends of the shoe cause a problem of dragging for the shoe? I just see the overhang
Well done and love the future Farriers. :)
