I love how you explain what you're doing Sheldon. Once you're a vet I hope you don't stop shoeing altogether. You're the only farrier I follow because you're the only one who explains what you're doing and why.
My grandparents have a wall in their home that has a lot of antique items hanging it, and it wasn't until I started watching these videos that I realized I recognized a few of those things as horseshoeing tools. Some of those trade implements have been the same for a long time, which is kind of cool. If it ain't broke, don't fix it, I guess.
Hi From Israel. I'm an equestrian instructor so I watch our horses get their shoes done every once in a while and I got to say that I LOVE your attitude towards the horses, it's not as common to see a farrier that calm and patience with horses. Keep up the great work!
@@caitolent don't hide behind easy barriers like that when Palestinians were slaughtered and had their land stolen. you wonder why no one likes you guys
I got the heart for my husband! such a unique and priceless valentines gift, amazing idea! I can’t wait to see it. BTW I’m sure we’d all love to hear how school is going and where you’re at with finals and the new semester (your last!!).
Good to see you back so soon. I do have a question about the physical impact of your work. You have to hold your body in a strange angle. How do prevent stiffening up or having a bad back? Love seeing you at work.
You usually get payed pretty well for this job. I doubt you really need to grind out horses all day everyday even if you weren't part time like this guy.
@@CAMSLAYER13 I've been shadowing farriers for a good while, one of the first things I was told is that it's not a job you get into for the money. It does NOT pay very well. Most of the money goes back into buying tools for it since they wear down so quickly.
Also a cool thing to do for the videos, instead of speeding up right at the first nail hammering, keep the first one at regular speed, then speed up the rest, keeps the enjoyable side of it at some degree
Goodness, wish I'd have waited a few minutes before posting my comment! Immediately stopped the video when I heard about the store and got myself a few things!
I enjoy your videos! Watching g this one, I realized the horse was standing so well for you this time. You made him feel so much better! Great that you make "horse-a-pedic" horse shoes!
Wish I had a sweetheart to give one of those hearts to, I'll just have to get me a sweatshirt! I had Redbone hounds for years and when circumstances permit I'll have another. Looks to me like a bloodhound was the inspector on that job, remember this all hounds are dogs....but all dogs are not hounds. The faith is kept on this end, may the Lord watch over you and your loved ones
Sheldon, I have to say that when you do your videos it's great. You take the time explain what and why you are doing for the horse you are working on. I deal with the products every day at work but it's interesting to see how many of them are used. I'm trying to remember if you have done any videos on the tools and shoes and nails you use and if you have any preference to why you use any particular brands.
Hey, I have really enjoyed your video's and I just subscribed to your channel. Did I miss something because there has not been a new video in 4 months?
I love your videos. I have a question. The nails on these shoes looked like they were made of copper. Do you use different kinds of nails for different horses?
have been curious about whether there’s such a thing as over-carving a horseshoe? much like over-cutting a fingernail? how would you know when to stop carving or cutting the shoe?
Definitely such a thing. In his videos if you notice the yellow or white lime going around the hoof that's the actually hard part that supports the horse. You want to maintain that.
Do you mean, cutting the hoof?, if so, then one must be educated on hoof Anatomy and critical proper function, before attempting removal or risk, immediate or systematic damage to soundness and function. To know the difference between live sensitive and dead, protective and how much of those are needed for protection and proper function. With hoof distortions from the norm or proper function, in extreme cases a farrier likes to have film to show the effects of the distortion to evaluate and treat, but often don't have that luxury and has to rely on experience and instinct to do so.
You were the first guy i saw doing any video like this. I do watch alot of other hoof channels now especially Hoof GP. But you sir still impress me the most with all the things you have to do.. thank you for your work on the video 👏👏 Ohh P.S its my wife and mine wedding anniversary on valentines day and she loves horses so i will be definitely getting a heart shape horse shoe. Thank you
Ok so I doubt usually comment... but....I have grown children...I thought you'd say you were going to have an addition to the family. Lol. But horse shoe hearts are cool too. Lol. Stay safe.
Have you considered a print on demand model for your sweatshirts? It might take a bit longer to get on our end, but I think it might take longer to get on our side, but it leaves you a lot of flexibility
Love the hearts! I know ferriers normally bend over and hold the horses’ hoof between their knees but that is so hard on your back! Can you think about sitting on a stool or do they make things like they have for cow hoof trimmers that’ll raise and hold the hoof hydraulically?
They are different names for them but cattle chutes exist and there are cheaper ones and expensive ones with hydraulics and computer systems. "The Hoof GP" here on TH-cam uses one that lifts the foot back for easy trimming
I love watching all your videos, but after I’m done watching, I sure do have one heck of a backache!!! I’m subscribed to you IG, FB and TH-cam channels. Keep up the good work!! Also keep sharing them videos 👍
I've been told you can tell a bit about a horses health by the texture of the hoof growth. If true, does the stress of the broken coffin bone equate to the rough growth at the top? (from central Oklahoma)
Hi Shannon, no, the outer layer is old horn. Sheldon is doing some modeling on the hoof so when the horse walks. The hoof will "break over", putting less stress on the inside of the foot.
Thank you for the follow up. Quick question and maybe you answered it, but I watched this twice and didn’t hear? Have they done another X-ray to see the progress of the coffin bone regrowth? I follow on Instagram so I will watch for the follow up to this video as well. Thanks again, Walter from Coolidge, AZ
Hi Sheldon, I have been traveling for a while and unable to watch TH-cam. How are you and we’re you able to finished your dream to become a Vet Doctor?
Can you make a video about your stand routine and how you grab your horses hoof have been cutting barehoof trim for 3 years but always looking for new ideas and tips
Hi Sheldon I hope you and the family had a good holiday season! When shoeing a horse that has an injury like a broken coffin bone, do you need to take therapeutic measures on the other hooves so the horse is balanced for maximum healing?
Hey, why does the area where the nails go into the hoof turn black? Is it the iron in the nails oxidizing and staining the hoof? It never ceases to amaze me you can stick a red hot horseshoe to a horses foot for a couple seconds and the inside of the hoof doesnt get hot enough to bother the horse.
I’ve got a question.. I’m working on being a farrier myself, I’m able to understand that when filling when the white lining of the foot begins to turn pinkish and become softer that you need no longer to file more of the foot down but I’m still very cautious on using the nippers because I don’t want to go too deep so I end up trimming what I know for sure is too much hoof which also means I end up filing a lot by hand.. what’s a tip that you kind of use so you know where to start with the nippers so I’m not having to file as much
I’m not sure how to word this, so I hope you understand my question. Do you have to measure the horses hip to hoof so all the legs are even in length? For balance (hip?) and/or weight distribution? Does it impact how much hoof is removed?
Here is a link to my store:
s-s-horseshoeing.myshopify.com
Have a great day!
you should give the option to customize them, even higher price (add letters or words)
Hey just wanted to let you know that the link you put in the description of the video to your shop doesn’t work
Wish I could buy, but shipping to poland will take too long :(
I wish you had paypal as an option. I was going to get one of the horseshoes but I dont have a creditcard and all my money is with paypal.
Horseshoe Towel Tracks & Coat Hangers for the store.
Those shoe hearts are adorable.
New shoes are so important for our equine for rinds
. Thank you for sharing.

He's an up and coming vet, too! An absolute gem
There is no Israel its called Palestine you thief
@@tareqalkhateeb8217 Your hatred is not welcome here. Take it somewhere else.
@@caitolent don't hide behind easy barriers like that when Palestinians were slaughtered and had their land stolen. you wonder why no one likes you guys
Just bought a couple horseshoe hearts! What a great idea 🤍
Thanks
If you could, I would love it if you could also show the horses themselves after you're done working on them, it completes the picture :)
What a well behaved horse! Everytime you went for the leg it just gave it to you without a fuss!
I bet your half squats are doing good for your overall health. I do weep for your lower back tho. Love ur work, love ur vids!
And I once again find myself watching random horshoeing videos in the middles of the night. Not sure how I got here again, but I like it
1) those foraged hearts are adorable!
2) that is a well behaved horse! I know a video may hide things, but it looks like s/he stands well
he did stand very well
I love when you repeat information from other videos. I get the information without having to disrupt watching the video!
I got the heart for my husband! such a unique and priceless valentines gift, amazing idea! I can’t wait to see it. BTW I’m sure we’d all love to hear how school is going and where you’re at with finals and the new semester (your last!!).
It’s amazing how compliant they are. Gentle and trusting 🖤
Ordered a heart!! Love your channel - just found it but I've been binging the videos all day! :) great work Sheldon!! Thank you for posting these.
Awesome! Thank you!
I just feel so clean when the frog gets cleaned 😂😂 I just know the horse feels great with its new pedicure.

Thank you Shelton for uploading and explaining 👍
7:55 dang that iron burn on your forearm looks gnarly (had one many years ago), hope it's healing well my guy!
I find this amazing, since I know very little to nothing about this type of thing. Thanks for the education my friend.😊👍
My pleasure
Also a cool thing to do for the videos, instead of speeding up right at the first nail hammering, keep the first one at regular speed, then speed up the rest, keeps the enjoyable side of it at some degree
I don't have anyone to give the heart horseshoe to but I will support your last semester of vet school! Looking forward to getting it.
You are excellent working with horses and you show you care when you talk, you explain very well.
Keep up the videos, they are great.
Yessss, what a day brightener.

I'm so glad you do these videos I miss horses and all the stuff that goes with them

My auntie is a big horse fan so I sent the link to my uncle! Good luck, the website is really cool! Great job, love your channel.
Hi from snohomish washington!
That is such a well behaved horse. ❤
Ordered a horseshoe heart! Thanks for all the great content over the years!
my plesure
Idk if it’s possible but, horse shoeing themed stuff would be interesting to see on the store, tools and other stuff
have been curious about whether there’s such a thing as over-carving a horseshoe? much like over-cutting a fingernail? how would you know when to stop carving or cutting the shoe?
Good Question

Did you burn yourself

Oh no, it says your site is currently unavailable. When do you think it will be back up? TIA! Love your work!
If only i didn't live on the other side of the ocean, i bet my sis would've loved one of those hearts!
After removing the shoe when you start trimming cutting and rasping🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤 mesmerizing
Love watching your videos.......stress releaving
good to see you back man! i miss these videos...as strange as that may sound lol

You are so welcome!

thanks for uploading ..... i love your informative vids
Masterfully done!!
Wow you really know how to trim a hoof. My horses hooves never looked that good!
Thank you! Cheers!
U coming back? Been 6 months since ur last video
Ok so I doubt usually comment... but....I have grown children...I thought you'd say you were going to have an addition to the family. Lol. But horse shoe hearts are cool too. Lol. Stay safe.
Me, living in a small studio apartment in South Korea: Oooooooooooooooooo, I need to order some horse shoes!
Waaaaaaait! Horse selfie??
Great idea. I purchased two 💕
Wonderful!
Keep it up Sheldon, I love you vids!

Great video, sorry I missed the sale!
Plz come back and make new videos. Your fans Miss you. Hope all is well with you and your family. God bless. 😊🇺🇸✝️
Thanks. Graduated vet school so now I am working on a few new videos so check back soon! Thanks for watching
Love your videos! What does the clinching tool (used at 13:30) do? I assume it fixes the nails but how does it work?
folds them over
What are the benefits of using copper nails? & how does having on one therapeutic shoe impact the other shoes?
Make stickers from pictures of ur forged hearts!!! Would be really neat!!!
What did horse's do before having shoes?
Thank you for the follow up. Quick question and maybe you answered it, but I watched this twice and didn’t hear? Have they done another X-ray to see the progress of the coffin bone regrowth? I follow on Instagram so I will watch for the follow up to this video as well. Thanks again,
Walter from Coolidge, AZ
Yes they did. it was healing as expected unfortunately I don't have the x rays
what farrier school did you go to to learn all this and also the fact that you're a vet probably makes you a way better farrier than a regular farrier
Sheldon's big announcement. Horse has decided to do my feet with my tool.
Lol
Great idea!
Would love to see some more current videos!
Hi Sheldon, I have been traveling for a while and unable to watch TH-cam. How are you and we’re you able to finished your dream to become a Vet Doctor?
I graduated a few months ago and am working as a vet, but still doing farrier work as well. Thanks!
Can you make a video about your stand routine and how you grab your horses hoof have been cutting barehoof trim for 3 years but always looking for new ideas and tips
Good video; thanks for the explanations. What a good, patient horse. He seems to have wide hooves for his thin legs. How old is he?
You ought to be selling these old horseshoes as 'lucky horseshoes' - and even tie them to an episode. I bet people would pay :)
Good job and you made me laugh.
I've seen a lot of dogs go after the hoof material that falls the ground. Sell that for dogs. Lol call it hoof a woof!.....or woof waffles.
We always called the hoof trimmings, especially the small pieces from the rasp, Canine Coconut.
Hi Sheldon, I am wondering how this horse broke the coffin bone? Great work!
Good question! I'm not sure
Hi Sheldon I hope you and the family had a good holiday season!
When shoeing a horse that has an injury like a broken coffin bone, do you need to take therapeutic measures on the other hooves so the horse is balanced for maximum healing?
Another great video.🐴💙
If horseshoeing for whatever reason doesn’t work for you, you would be an excellent blacksmith.
I don't do valentine but good luck with your side hustle.
Like your videos, you probably won't being doing these anymore when you become a vet?
I Will
Excellent video. Are those copper nails? If so what's the benefit to that metal over another one?
Copper's anti-bacterial, fun fact.
Are all horses you work on so calm?
no
Can you ship international? Would love to buy one of the shoe hearts
Miss your videos. Wish you much luck in your new career.
Thanks. Should have a new video out soon.
Amzing work!. Why are those nails square?
Those shoe hearts are so cute! I may get one for my mom for v day. Yes I buy gifts for friends and family on valentines day not just my husband 😂😂😂
You should!
have you done any shoeing that needs studs or shoes that have studs in them thanks
Is that a used horse shoe heart ??!! ❤ omg
Hey, why does the area where the nails go into the hoof turn black? Is it the iron in the nails oxidizing and staining the hoof?
It never ceases to amaze me you can stick a red hot horseshoe to a horses foot for a couple seconds and the inside of the hoof doesnt get hot enough to bother the horse.
im actually not sure
Cute dog 🥰
Just an FYI, the donation button for $5 says it's out of stock, so I just added a $5 tip.
I'll look into it! thanks for letting me know. you are very kind
Great job.
The shoe hearts are really cute! I live in Europe so unfortunately I'd have to pay taxes. Btw, how long did doing this foot take you for?
I’ve got a question.. I’m working on being a farrier myself, I’m able to understand that when filling when the white lining of the foot begins to turn pinkish and become softer that you need no longer to file more of the foot down but I’m still very cautious on using the nippers because I don’t want to go too deep so I end up trimming what I know for sure is too much hoof which also means I end up filing a lot by hand.. what’s a tip that you kind of use so you know where to start with the nippers so I’m not having to file as much
On average, how long does it take to shoe a horse, and how many would you say you do during a week?
hour
Helping them one horse at a time. 😎
I’m not sure how to word this, so I hope you understand my question. Do you have to measure the horses hip to hoof so all the legs are even in length? For balance (hip?) and/or weight distribution? Does it impact how much hoof is removed?
Why do I suddenly want coconut?
