    My horse was 31 in 2018 and thus had to be put down due to age related issues. I miss these sounds, just standing and holding the lead while the farrier worked. It's soothing to listen to.

Even if it’s only cuz I give her treats and cuddles. Taller than 6’5 at her head, and I’m 6’4, so she’s the perfect size for me and my height and perfect for riding as you should ride no more than 20% of their body weight. She weighs right around 1700 pounds…big girl

      @@jeffdredd1172 It's a shock to see initially, for sure. I was surprised the first time I saw that part of the process and I already had the knowledge of where in the hoof the nerves are/aren't. (Spoiler: they're deeper in that triangular fleshy part at the back of the hoof) The whole process looks intense but the horse is at worst mildly uncomfortable for having to sit still a while. If it were painful, you can bet the farrier would be pulling that horseshoe out of his body, assuming he survived a kick from a shire :)

    I stumbled across this video and thought i'd give a peek and yes, it is oddly satisfying. But what stunned me most is the fact that, after trimming the hoof down, a soft material emerges. You can see the hoof being of a soft, flexibel material, just like goats' hooves. I would have never thought of that being the same with horses.

    Thank You, sir , 'tis a pleasure to watch. I miss standing in a blacksmith's shop, when he was shoeing horses. On my way home from school or out to visit friends. It was a sad day when they took away the horses. The sound of the hooves and the grinding of the tyres on gravel. I am lucky to have had such loveliness.

    Horses enjoy having their hooves trimmed. It is relieving for them. Just like how milking a cow is relieving for them. If they dont get milked infection can grow because the calf cant drink all of the milk. At a certain point mothers wont let calfs drink. Thats when the Farmer starts the milking proccess. If horses hooves grow to long, it can cause serious damage!!

    I don’t know how I started watching these videos, but they are so interesting to watch! I don’t know anything about horses and this looks painful but I know people say it isn’t. A few questions if anyone has time to answer them for me. :)
    1) How often do horses need this done?
    2) What is the soft part that gets cut? That looks painful!
    3) Why do they burn the hoof with the shoe?
    4) When we see bits of red showing, is that blood?
    Thank you 😀🐴

    • @kiera7861
      @kiera7861 2 ปีที่แล้ว +12

      They need it done about every 4 weeks. It is in no way painful to the horse as nerves to do not connect that far down however if overgrown it would cause pain and be hard to walk and many things would get stuck in the hoove. I believe the burning is to help the shoe stick better, not all do it. No bleeding occurs unless there is something stuck in the hoove (Such as rock, gravel, etc.) Its most likely a type of dis-coloration.

    • @kiera7861
      @kiera7861 2 ปีที่แล้ว +9

    As someone who knows nothing about horses I have a few questions.
    1) how often do you have to trim their hoofs?
    2) how did you get the shoe to be such a perfect fit? Was that on your first try? And why do you put it on hot first?
    3) why do you trim the hoof middle out?
    4) what's the center "spongy" part of the hoof?
    5) how do you know how much to trim them back?

      Hey so I’m not a farrier but I know a fair amount about their feet because I am a horse owner, so i can answer a few questions. so usually you get the shoes replaced about every 6 weeks, it also depends on how fast your horses feet grow. Horses feet just like our have a size, that is also why the put it on hot so they can mold the shoe. They trimmed the middle part out because it grows as well. That part is called a frog. I hope this helps!
