the horse's hoof really looked like granite for some reason for a moment like what?? now i wont be able to look at my kitchen tabletop normally again lmfao
I also enjoy this, no loud music, no one talking on and on just the sounds of the different tools he uses while he scraps away at the hoof it's so soothing and relaxing, can't wait to see more, thank you for a great video.
Horses have ligaments and tendons that can lock their knees comfortably, and I've seen some doze off while standing up. He's probably just chilling out, having a snooze during his pedicure.
I ride and my dads a farrier so he teaches me how to do it but That’s not the point the point is It’s very satisfying and fun to do they stand still Bc they know the farriers well and your right it is a relief for them
I’d wish there was some on screen text describing the entire process, for those of us who love horses but are not really knowledgeable about their upkeep like in this video. Awesome work, I feel like the horse is enjoy it.
I’ve watched my horses get shod every time for 19 years now by the same farrier…….your work and his are identical…you both are truly a benefit to the horses health
If you are reading this at night, you should get some sleep, and don't stress about everything going on in the world, or what you are going through. Don't dwell on things from the past, don't stress on your future. Just live your life, because you only get one. Do whatever makes you happy, not what other people want from you. For me, I'm gonna wake up tomorrow morning, get hit the gym, and cherish life for the amazing blessing that it is. I hope you do the same and have an amazing day as well!
Due to a birth deformity (clubbed feet) and after much surgery I tend to be very prone to callouses and these can be very painful especially in the hot weather. I have an amazing Chiropodist that does an amazing job and I always feel like I am walking on air after a treatment.. I imagine this lovely horse feels exactly the same! Great work.
How is this so mesmerizing? I’ve never owned a horse. Never even thought about the processing of shoeing a horse or whatever it’s called. Yet I’ve watched two of these videos and been totally fascinated. Great work!
I'm exactly the same position. I have absolutely zero experience and I keep thinking "no don't do that" then being surprised that it's fine. When he put that hot shoe on its foot my brain had a moment of meltdown.
@@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 :)
Love the trick you used to hold the horses’s hair outta the way with the ring of hoof you previously cut with the nippers. Also a good reason not to break the ring in two like I’ve seen most other farriers do, it’s also way more satisfying imho. Great job, man 👍🏻 Keep up the nice work 👏🏻
I had a friend who was a farrier years ago, she like you make it look easy, I was always amazed how she worked with confidence and speed, you guys are in a class all by yourselves.
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. And dang that's a big hoof! I had a little tiny Arabian! I'd love to meet a Shire one day though. I've heard they're incredibly gently. And this one is being very good.
I have a Shire paint cross, she is my whole world. Feet as big as this, and a heart double the size of that. She may not admit it but she does in fact love me. 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
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.
The softest part of the hoof is the frog, which I assume is the part you're referring to :) it has a higher mositure and blood flow compared to the test of the hoof, and helps the horses the same way running shoes would for us if that makes sense
@@safeasheart4133 it's a little more complicated than that. The frogs act like little blood pumps. But as with all parts of the hoof there is the live part with blood supply, from which the dead horny material grows. The frog, the sole, the laminae, the inner hoof wall, the outer hoof wall. The dead horny part is what we trim and remove part of with the nippers, hoof knife, and rasp. So they feel vibration and pressure. The vibration of the rasp they get used to. When you burn on a hot shoe, they may feel some heat, but not too much unless trimmed too close, or left to long with a very hot shoe, and they have to get used to be burning hoof smell, which instinct might tell them they are standing on lava or wood fire coals, they get used to it. So if you do it right it doesn't hurt.
@@blakebryder7464 Nothing better than a nice off-white, super healthy frog. I watched a trimming video that was a demonstration of trimming for the Amish and the demo horse had frogs the color of butter and the knife cut through them like warm butter as well. It was the healthiest frog I've ever seen in my life, and I've been riding for 26 years.
Anyone else reckon the horses love this? Dosed up on sugar cubes, got a tub of carrots to get through, human sorting his new shoes, going for a grass munch later. Life's good. 😎
We need to get this channel close to a mill ... People don't understand , just like us humans we can't walk barefoot neither can horses, cows etc... This is a very rare job and ya gotta know what you are doing!!! (I know because my father got trained to shoe thoroughbreds, when he owned his horsed and he did it after his retirement from his companies).. *_MUCH RESPECT IS DUE TO THESE MEN AND WOMAN WHO DO THIS TYPE OF JOB!!_*
This is pure craftsmanship! This farrior is amazing and I could watch him all day long. This is so theraputicI imagine that his back must get really really sore!
I would like to thank all the farriers around the world 🌎 for taking care of the horses 🐎 donkeys mules etc. god bless you and your family always 🙏I love y’alls videos 👍🏼
This is an amazing video! :) I didn't know I needed this in my life until now. It is my new way to relax. :D Also, I love how casually he just uses the horses own hoof piece to hold the hair in place. Literally a self made ponytail there. 🤣😂🤣
I can watch this when I go to sleep. I can watch this anytime. It’s so relaxing like ASMR keep up the great work dude for keeping your horse nice and clean.
You are a man after my own heart, Jake...constantly perfecting until it's just right! This has to be the best example on YT of what a genuine Farrier is. Cheers!
I love how Good quality myour work is. Is it just me or do you squint when he's trimming the frog. I'm always like dont go to deep,in my head. I also love that you put Hoof oil on at the end to make a better result and as an equestrian. My self we really appreciate. It. Great way of using the hoof clippings as a hair band for the feathers.
I don't own a horse and I have no plans to buy one but I find this pretty interesting to watch. I'd love to know the names of the tools you're using and the processes you're performing with them. Cheers!
I have so much admiration for farriers and have considered learning the trade myself. I love watching them work. It's very satisfying seeing them return hooves to their best shape as one of the most important parts of a horse's body. It's such physical work, yet so delicate at the same time. Thank you foot docs ☺🐎
The ability to do all this from memory on knowing how to fix each hoof so too much isn't taken off to knowing the approx size of the shoe is incredible. No bleeding is interesting.
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 😀🐴
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.
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!
@@Crrtrrtd I'm assuming they put it on hot to melt the hoof flat to perfectly fit the shoe right? Looks like he was also using the scorch marks as a guide for the trimming on the inside.
@@ninajavan2124 If you mean that semi-triangular fleshy bit, that's the frog. It's the start of the tissue part of the whole 'foot,' while the hoof is essentially a big toenail. They cut a bit off of this the same way a pedicurist would shave off calluses on our feet.
@@Crrtrrtd so i know that this doesn’t hurt the horse, but can you explain how it doesn’t hurt the horse exactly? do they not have many nerves down in their feet or something?
I love the fact that they don't talk in these kind of videos. They just allow your eyes to explain everything to your mind... peace and quiet. Just the sound effects of the tools😍
Back when I actively rode/took lessons, I used to love it when the farrier would come to the barn; I could have watched him work for hours. None of our guys were shod, but they still needed their periodic trim. :) Question: What makes this a “restoration” versus just a regular maintenance visit?
You need the shoes because a horse will wear through its hooves walking on things like stone. Although there is the added side effect of them not wearing down at all thus the trimming.
@@CAMSLAYER13 would they not need shoes if they were constantly on grass or dirt or are there other risks and situations that could happen so they should be shoed in all environments?
@@tomtcom they wouldn't necessarily need shoes if they did spend most of there time on softish ground although trimming will still be needed most likely depending on the ground, grass or wet mud would be too soft. Shoes can also be therapeutic or to help with grip in winter but yea theres often no need for a pet, working horses will require shoes as long as you plan on using them.
I have never seen anyone clean a horses foot like this!! I was wondering at first if it was even a real horse cause of how calm it was until it moved a little. You have a very good bond with it. The horses my family had probably would have made the process difficult.
Dang. I've been watching the hoof gp, and i'd always thought a hoof is a hoof is a hoof. I had no idea horse feet and cow feet were so different! Thanks!
I grew up on a ranch/farm, I used to love when the farrier would come. my little brother and i would watch the whole time(5 horses)and give the hoof trimmings to our dogs. truly the good old days.
You are a miracle worker dude!!! I love watching this stuff. I actually feel as good as the animal just watching and knowing they're feeling better and their pain will be alleviated!! Great job dude!! XOXOXOXO. Peace.
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.
Please use that metal brush on the dirt on the sole before trimming with your knives haha I flinch every time🙈🤣 absolutely love your videos! // Farrier student from Sweden.
Surprisingly, I thought that by going into the comments I would find a lot of people who believe that it is very painful for horses, but here on the contrary there are a lot of people who admire this work.🇷🇺
I thought the frog was a little more tender because I’ve heard of it getting bruised. How much can you cut it down safely? Hope this isn’t a stupid question. Thanks. Your work is mesmerizing.
I'm not sure about knowing how much to cut, but the frog is no more sensitive than the sole (at least, it shouldn't be.) The sole can also bruise, as well.
Really amazing work!! I cringe every time he cuts with the knife! I would always be afraid to cause pain to the animal! I think you can only learn something so perfect with years of practice. I myself am an industrial mechanic and have been manufacturing gear teeth for over 30 years. Greetings from Bocholt (D)
Funny thing is, they have no nerve endings in the hoof wall and sole of the foot. Everything he is cutting he completely painless- like a fingernail. If he goes too deep (which is hard to do on a shire) then yes that can cause pain, but it would take a long time for that to happen. xx hope this helps with the cringe effect
Amazing skill. So impressed. I do have one question, what happens to the nail ends that you twist off with the hammer? Do they go on the ground? Do they stick to the hammer with some kind of magnet? Seems like it would be dangerous otherwise. I keep looking but can't see where they go. Thank you
It's so satisfying to watch how you cut that yellowish part in the middle! I thought it was very hard like a stone from what i saw in other videos but i guess it varies from what horse it is? Anw, thanks for this video!
No they don't feel it it's like a super thick finger nail, they'd only feel it if you made a mistake and went too deep. You'd know if the horse was in pain cuz this guy would have been kicked

The hooves are basically made of the same material as our finger nails and toe nails, so this is analogous to getting a pedicure.
Thank you both for the info 😀
@@C0rpseBride8 we get it done every few months on our horses tho
Thank you, seeing the entire process is educational. Looking forward to more videos.
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!
@@Crrtrrtd I'm assuming they put it on hot to melt the hoof flat to perfectly fit the shoe right? Looks like he was also using the scorch marks as a guide for the trimming on the inside.
@@Crrtrrtd What is the yellow and white thing on their hoofs?
@@ninajavan2124 If you mean that semi-triangular fleshy bit, that's the frog. It's the start of the tissue part of the whole 'foot,' while the hoof is essentially a big toenail. They cut a bit off of this the same way a pedicurist would shave off calluses on our feet.
@@Crrtrrtd so i know that this doesn’t hurt the horse, but can you explain how it doesn’t hurt the horse exactly? do they not have many nerves down in their feet or something?
I love the fact that they don't talk in these kind of videos. They just allow your eyes to explain everything to your mind... peace and quiet. Just the sound effects of the tools😍
Back when I actively rode/took lessons, I used to love it when the farrier would come to the barn; I could have watched him work for hours. None of our guys were shod, but they still needed their periodic trim. :)
Question: What makes this a “restoration” versus just a regular maintenance visit?
It’s super crazy that this doesn’t hurt them!you are so gentle with them
It feels like a lot of like not pressure but like tapping
Well it’s pretty much nail, so there are no nerves unless you get about half an inch or so into the hoof. Therefore no pain
@@ElizabethsLizardyes you're right
Your attention to detail - both with your video production and the horse - is amazing! Great job!
As one knowing absolutely nothing about the anatomy of a hoof I was quite shocked by the amount of stuff removed...
You need the shoes because a horse will wear through its hooves walking on things like stone. Although there is the added side effect of them not wearing down at all thus the trimming.
@@CAMSLAYER13 would they not need shoes if they were constantly on grass or dirt or are there other risks and situations that could happen so they should be shoed in all environments?
@@tomtcom they wouldn't necessarily need shoes if they did spend most of there time on softish ground although trimming will still be needed most likely depending on the ground, grass or wet mud would be too soft. Shoes can also be therapeutic or to help with grip in winter but yea theres often no need for a pet, working horses will require shoes as long as you plan on using them.
I love how you used the trimmings to keep the fetlock back while you work
I think that was my favourite part of the video! Just one of those tricks of the trade
That blew my mind. When I tell you my jaw dropped…
Feathers ?
@@beakytwitch7905 all the long fluffy fur on the bottom of the horses legs
Cela fait tellement plaisir de voir un travail si parfaitement exécuté, bravo ! Le cheval a de la chance !
I have never seen anyone clean a horses foot like this!! I was wondering at first if it was even a real horse cause of how calm it was until it moved a little. You have a very good bond with it. The horses my family had probably would have made the process difficult.
Dang. I've been watching the hoof gp, and i'd always thought a hoof is a hoof is a hoof. I had no idea horse feet and cow feet were so different! Thanks!
Well i announce you today that you are legally skilled
You've got to be joking...
Watching this at 1am instead of sleeping is so satisfying 😂
Hey that's me
Same time
As a horse, I can agree that this is a very nice restoration 👍🐴
I never thought watching someone clean a horses hove to be so satisfying
From zits to ear wax to hooves.
8:25 I love him using removed hoop to trim the hair .
I'm so happy I watched this. Never knew how much work there was to do !!!!
I grew up on a ranch/farm, I used to love when the farrier would come. my little brother and i would watch the whole time(5 horses)and give the hoof trimmings to our dogs. truly the good old days.
I love cleaning my horse's hooves, it's literally so satisfying. Idk how I'm not already there scraping out those hooves myself.
The horse is so relaxed and its satisfying to watch at the same time
You are a miracle worker dude!!! I love watching this stuff. I actually feel as good as the animal just watching and knowing they're feeling better and their pain will be alleviated!! Great job dude!! XOXOXOXO. Peace.
They're not really in pain before that at all..but yeah it's probably a lot of weight off their legs so it's easier to walk
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.
Awesome job. I love Shire horses. Enormous feet. Wish you could show the whole horse :)
I never knew the nails were that long... like i knew they somehow nailed them to the hoof but damn. You learn something every day
Please use that metal brush on the dirt on the sole before trimming with your knives haha I flinch every time🙈🤣 absolutely love your videos! // Farrier student from Sweden.
this type of content makes me go to sleep so easily. Not out of boredom, but because it’s so satisfying
Surprisingly, I thought that by going into the comments I would find a lot of people who believe that it is very painful for horses, but here on the contrary there are a lot of people who admire this work.🇷🇺
Fun fact: Horses don't have pain receptors in their hooves, so basically that means the end part of their hooves are like giant nails.
I love it how you move with the horse, you dont try to put it back when it moves. You just move with it
I honestly find this satisfying to watch and really calms me down.
So relaxing to watch. Great work. How long does a shoe last?
It’s more about how fast the hoof grows but the answer is about every 6 weeks.
Holy CRAP I've never seen so much frog growth! Great watch, thank you!
I had never seen such a calm horse while getting his/her hoof done
I guess you’re not watching the proper videos because they’re used to it all horses go through this
I don't own a horse but I love watching these videos.
You know you are a horse person when you admire how those are some nice 👌 healthy frogs. 😆
I thought the frog was a little more tender because I’ve heard of it getting bruised. How much can you cut it down safely? Hope this isn’t a stupid question. Thanks. Your work is mesmerizing.
I'm not sure about knowing how much to cut, but the frog is no more sensitive than the sole (at least, it shouldn't be.) The sole can also bruise, as well.
DIOS TE BENDIGA! A ti y a tu familia por ayudar a los animalitos!
8:29 I love how he used the horses like nail ( I don't rlly know what it's called 😅) to get the horses feathers to go out of the way😂 so smart 👍
this is amazing i have been watching your channel from 2 years ago
😁
Wow! He even shined his shoes! This is the kind of pride I love seeing put into work. Great job.
Really amazing work!! I cringe every time he cuts with the knife! I would always be afraid to cause pain to the animal! I think you can only learn something so perfect with years of practice. I myself am an industrial mechanic and have been manufacturing gear teeth for over 30 years. Greetings from Bocholt (D)
Funny thing is, they have no nerve endings in the hoof wall and sole of the foot. Everything he is cutting he completely painless- like a fingernail. If he goes too deep (which is hard to do on a shire) then yes that can cause pain, but it would take a long time for that to happen. xx hope this helps with the cringe effect
They feel no pain! Their hooves are made of super strong keratin, like our finger and toenails. Unless you cut too far down, they feel nothing.
I had never seen a farrier in action before, this is a skill 1000’s of years old, a great watch.
My cat that was actually watching this video was like 🙀lol Absolutely funny a heck watching his expression while watching you shoe a horse. 😂
Can tell you're a pro simply watching the scene where you use the ring of clipped hoof to hold back the hair while fitting the shoe.
Amazing skill. So impressed. I do have one question, what happens to the nail ends that you twist off with the hammer? Do they go on the ground? Do they stick to the hammer with some kind of magnet? Seems like it would be dangerous otherwise. I keep looking but can't see where they go. Thank you
Magnet 🧲.
The day i got a Horse this will definitely help me,
thanks man😘
It's so satisfying to watch how you cut that yellowish part in the middle! I thought it was very hard like a stone from what i saw in other videos but i guess it varies from what horse it is? Anw, thanks for this video!
That's called the frog! Usually it's fairly soft; it's comparable to your cuticles!
Me too! its just so satisfying!
DUDEEEE... what a restoration really insane to see these days its as if people do not take pride in the art anymore ):
you sound like people saying that it was better for black people to live in 1955
Wow! That is custom fitting at it's finest! My back hurts just watching him bend over that whole time. One down, three more to go, on that horse.
That must feel sooo much better!!! so satisfying!!!
I am just amazed on how this does not hurt the horse.
A horses hoof is like our nails. They can’t really feel anything bc it’s literally a nail
This is so cool, I never knew a horse’s hoof looked like that! Does a horse feel it when you do this?
No they don't feel it it's like a super thick finger nail, they'd only feel it if you made a mistake and went too deep. You'd know if the horse was in pain cuz this guy would have been kicked
Excelente trabalho, parabéns pelo empenho e capricho,Deus lhe retribua com prosperidade,eu amo cavalos,estou me empenhando em me tornar um Ferrador (somente dos meus cavalos)Cesar cavalo RJ 🇧🇷
Boa noite gostaria de saber por que tem colocar ferradura quente no casco do cavalo não sente dor não sei nada sobre cavalo mas vi o vídeo imagino se cavalo sente a dor,mas depois vi trabalho ficou novinho em folha,obrigado.
I don't know why it gives me so much satisfaction to see the cleaning of horseshoes. Good video
THAT FOLKS IS A NICE HEALTHY HOOF
Какая непростая и сложная работа, в наше время выглядит как то завораживающе, необходимо и быть немного ветеринаром, и кузнецом, интересно было посмотреть, удачи автору!!!!
The attention to detail is amazing. Everything is done with such skill and care.
