I’m not a horse person, but I could see the horse visibly relax and become more cooperative after you got the first few hooves trimmed. It was like, “he’s helping, I’m going to chill out now.”
I noticed as you got each foot done the pony seemed to be better behaved and more comfortable. I do enjoy watching you taking a gross overgrowth into a balance hoof.
The people making negative comments about the way you trim don't know what they are talking about. They have never trimmed a horse and probably never will.
The internet is full of such experts. It drives me crazy to no end. Fifteen minutes ago they didn't know such a thing as "farrier" (or fill in the _______ blank) existed, but now they're the expert...
@@berrymint6384Some moves were "harsh?" What does that even mean? I trim my own horses. I didn't see anything "harsh" except the level of neglect. This trim might be the only trim this pony will receive. He has to take as much as he can in this one shot to hopefully keep him from being crippled
Just wondered whether the owners of these horses are ever prosecuted for animal cruelty. If not they most certainly should be. You do a wonderful job for these poor creatures, more power to your elbow. God bless.
Doubtful. Google the hanging barn horse abuse in Pa. He received a $50 fine and lost some the horses. Many were euthanized on the spot, and he got to keep some. The sheriff was his friend and dragged his feet.
I have flat feet and the relief I get from wearing properly fitted orthotics is unbelievable. I have so much empathy for that horse. That sure was a tough hoof, but persistence pays off. I was surprised you didn’t saw off some of the excess but I guess you wanted to demonstrate taking off bits at a time until it looks right. Well done. I think your approach makes sense and shows good results. Keep up the good work!
Your question about sawing it off is a very good one. Although they didn't show it actually being done, at 2:00 onward and at 3:04 onward we can see that they had already used a hand saw to to remove a chunk of the front projection of overgrowth on a front foot. You can see it even better on a rear foot at 5:54 and at 6:15. So they skipped showing us the step where they sawed it, but at those time stamps you can clearly see the shape of the hoof as he works on it, and the fact that some of that projection is gone. Once they get anywhere near to the actual foot, to the part where a hoof normally is, there are structures that are critical, and some that are soft inside. It's vital to avoid damaging or injuring them, so all of that needs to be done by hand, and bit by bit, very carefully. It's literally back breaking work! You might not be able to tell, I can't tell what your mind sees, but what looks like random clipping and yanking is actually being done with great knowledge and care. That's why he's going slow. It's because the hoof is complicted, and in some ways if it's injured the consequences can be severe. We are very lucky here that the horse is a very calm one and the camera work is the best I recall seeing of farrier work. Power tools can't be used on their hooves even for the part where they chop off the big projection on the front because since they are VERY nervous animals, the horses don't react well to the noise, and especially to the vibration of power tools. They don't know what that weird feeling is going all the way up their leg, and it scares the heck out of them. They are EXTREMELY protective of their legs, since even a small injury could mean the difference between life and death in the wild. They could be desensitized to it over time, but the owners of neglected horses won't bother doing that, and the horses who do get trims regularly don't need it, because the growth over 4 - 6 weeks is small enough that they would never need power tools to be used. There is some chance that I'm wrong and a power saw was used, really fast. Like "Let's get that peice off. Bang!" But I think not. As I said, horses are VERY nervous, so to do that on all 4 feet would greatly alarm the horse, and cause it to be too frightened and reactive during the whole process. That could be dangerous. But often really badly neglected horses have to be sedated for their hooves to be done the 1st time, because they are freaking out with fear. Occasionally they even need to be laid down and heavily sedated! Power tools would be an option then, but only for that front peice or projection. The rest still has to be done with care. Farriers are very special people! I'm not an expert either, but that's my understanding of it, from spending some time around horses and barns. If anyone wants to add anything or to correct me, I would be happy to recieve new info. 😉 ✌🏼
I know nothing about horses but I do know that you're helping them so much and making them feel so much better. Thank you for helping them, you all are amazing.
This brings back many memories from my childhood. My grandfather was a traveling blacksmith and took care of most the horses from the mid to the southern regions of Mississippi and in Northeast Louisiana. My cousin would hand him the tools on command and I as the city kid, would come down in the summer and hold the reins, while he did the backbreaking work for over fifty years. This horse was very tame and docile and that helped in getting the job done easier. Unfortunately my cousins and I learned the trade but opted for different paths but it's great to see skilled craftsmen are still out there helping these beautiful animals. Great job sir
You guys are brave to tie horses so close to each other -- I was expecting someone to squeal when they bumped noses 😄 The pony looks more comfortable after his trim. The bruising is inconsequential at this point and his tendons will relax into a more normal position. It's always sad to see a horse like this -- it goes beyond ignorance and is flat out neglect. I don't care what the owner's financial situation is or how good their intentions are -- find a way to get their basic needs met or surrender the animal. Thank you for helping these horses -- it gives them a chance at a better life.
@@idahohorseshoeingschool They comfort and console one another, yeah? :') Herdmates being like family and all. Everyone together, safe, and calm. You did such a stunning job on this sweet little thing, I'm just about crying. The little whinny at the end was so adorable, I can only imagine how much happier they are to walk normally.
It makes me incredibly glad to see neglected animal in such great hands. You're so kind and knowledgeable you're clearing the best thing that ever happened to this horse and even though I know nothing about horses I can see how relieved and so much happier he was. Thank you for all the kindness you show to all the animals that come to you ❤️
Anyone with horses, interested in horses, or contemplating owning a horse should watch these video. The extreme cases are important to be aware of and that restoration of the hoof is almost always possible. Before the pony looked like it was walking on rocking chairs. Always an education.
That poor pony has got to feel so much better. I agree with the comment below. There's just no excuse to let the feet get this bad. Thank you for helping all the horses and pony's like this.
@@bullock2988 did you see those hooves? do you really think its owner isn’t/wasn’t neglectful? The farrier isn’t the owner btw, that’s not who they’re referring to
It really is a beautiful pony. I’m leaping to conclusions, but I imagine that some wealthy person bought it for their child, but they grew tired of it, and didn’t care for it properly.
Wow, I am always amazed at how perfectly a good farrier can get such overgrown hooves back into shape. I admire how confidently and skilfully they know where and how to cut. There will never be an artificial intelligence for this valuable profession. Very well done, Mr Farrier! Greetings from Germany 🤗
Another amazing job from you. He is going to enjoy his new improved hooves, that's for sure. I just love watching your work. There is so much care given to getting the right balance for his feet. Your knowledge base is astounding. When you work, you explain everything that you do and why you do it😊
Nice to see all 4 feet done. My long ago fella was a farrier and I worked with him some. What a prodigious job this was for you. Fascinating to watch, thank you.
Good work! 🙂 When I have to trim this kind of bananahoof I take off (roughly) the rounded part of wall/heel of all fours first. So the horse may stand more comfortable during the trimming.
Thank you for making the lives of these horses sooooo much better! I cannot imagine how bad it was for them to walk on such overgrown hooves! Excellent farrier!!
My Army career changed my feet and I have to be very mindful of the shoes I buy, even bedroom slippers. I have all the empathy in the world for these horses with foot pain they can't escape. Thank you for regularly posting your miracle work ✨️❤
That little pony is world's more comfortable after even just the one completed hoof. Imagine the relief once all four are done. Also, are we not going to talk about the head popping off the hammer in the background at 8:03?
Seems that the horse understands that it needs pedicure, they are so cooperative and patient. Good job, the horse must be so happy and comfortable now and thankful also.
Great video! I like that you were able to show the four hooves getting adjusted. Thank you for the work that goes into teaching, trimming, and then videoing and editing. It's great stuff to watch!
Good lord, what's the point of keeping an animal if you can't be bothered to take care of it? This poor creature would've been better off in the wilderness than to suffer like this. Kudos to you for taking care of this horse, I can only imagine the relief it felt once you were done.
Impressionnant... On dirait qu'il porte des sabots 😮 Grâce à votre intervention, il doit se sentir plus léger... Ce genre d'outil est accessible. Après il faut aimer sa bête ou se dispenser d'en avoir pour le négliger ainsi... Il est vachement docile, adorable 😍
The main thing for these horses is to have the correct angles of the hoof and bones. The tendons will relax later. And a follow up trim in a month or two. To remove the extra growth, and finalize the angles. This little horse is very beautiful. Hope he heals up and can be a horse again. Yes I know his height is in the pony range, but his build is more of a small horse. Probably a Welsh Arabian cross. Would love to see an update of his progress. And the little black Shetland pony. As to the owners who let these horses feet get so bad they shouldn't be allowed to have horses again. A trim doesn't cost that much and it makes the horse much happier. I always remember the old saying " no foot no horse" because the foot is the most important part of the horse. They can't survive without a good foot.
It’s wonderful how u helped this amazing creature, he/ she must of felt so much relief! U did a great job, the horse must be so happy to be able to run around properly, and stand properly as well, stand in comfort, the horse must be so great full for ur amazing work and kind soul ❤
It just amazes me with all the bad angles he was not lame before you worked on him. He definitely was in pain, but I would have thought you would have seen more lameness. The difference in behavior and shows the pain is so much less after you worked on him. Hopefully he stays in your care and you can continue to help him. As a horse person, having a great farrier is worth every penny you pay. I was lucky to find one that was amazing. Love watching your videos.
Agreed! When I was younger and had horses, I learned two things: a) always have the horses up in the barn, cleaned up and ready to go a good hour before the farrier got there and b) always treat your farrier right. Find out what their favourite beverage is, what sort of snack they like and always pay the bill right there before they leave. If they have a family, sending them home with a loaf of homemade bread or a batch of triple chocolate brownies in addition to their visit snack is usually a pretty good bet to put smiles on the whole family's faces. In my part of the country, word of a good farrier gets around and it doesn't take long for them to get a full roster of clients. Being a reliable client that is always a pleasure to deal with goes a long way to making the cut when the farrier discovers they have to cut back (as they always do--it is inevitable).
You can't see lameness when all four legs are in pain. What you usually see is them shifting weight from the bad leg to the good legs, but if they are all bad that doesn't happen.
You did an awesome job on this poor pony. He must feel souch better now. I once trimmed the hooves of a mule which looked pretty much the same as this pony's hooves, but they were so dry that I couldn't trim them back with my tools. I had to use a saw to get rid of the first big chunk on each hoof. Was a tough job, but I had help and thank goodness it worked. Greetings from the Dominican Republic
Ignore the peanut gallery (including me!) who don't work with the animals each day. We come here to watch you, the EXPERT, treat these animals based upon your years of experience
I have so many respect voor that horse and jou.Im happy he can stand now a little more normal. I liked and subscribed on this video I hope jou have a great day
I find it throating that people who know nothing about a subject, such as horseshoeing, fell they have a right to tell a professional on said subject how he or she is doing it wrong. You've had training, experience and are teaching others how to tend horses hooves. I've been around horses all my life, not an expert, and you do an amazing job. Thank you for sharing!
Thank you for what you do for those beautiful animals. I've often wondered, after what is a drastic shape to the hooves in a very short time, how the tendons, muscles and ligaments feel in the short run - they must feel stretched in some places and even this new ideal hoof shape must feel painful while tissues adapt.
The farrier describes knowing how much hoof to take off exactly how an artist in a different medium would describe knowing which bits of marble to remove when caving a statue.
I don’t know the first thing about it, but I’m always amazed that this does not seem to hurt the horse at all. I wish my chihuahuas were this well-behaved for a nail trim.
These horses are so much better off after they have their hoofs worked on by you and your other guys and that are in very good shape when they leave your place. Thank you for your work.
WHY is no one talking about the Person in the background right side looks like the are maybe? working on a shoe until the head of the hammer flies off!! 8:04 time stamp!! They look so caught off guard!! Don't blame them!!
I know nothing about horses. I saw one video of your and now i cant stop watching them. I love the work you guys are doing. Must be a tough job on the body.
It’s possible the horse is new to someone and this is just the next step in the healing process. But, farrier work is expensive depending on your area. That on top of vet bills, board, etc it all adds up. Cases of neglect and abuse or abandonment skyrocketed when we outlawed horse slaughter in the US, which often is how this ends up happening, until a new owner comes along. I doubt that the owner who brought this horse in is the one who caused the farrier work to go lax
@@Decodethefallenmoon I owned two horses - back to back - for 35 years so I know all about the 'expenses' ! The cheapest part of 'acquiring a horse' is the actual 'acquiring' ! Like you said, it's every thing else on top of that - board, vet, blacksmith, tack, etc., any and all showing costs if you go that route. Even a reliable vehicle to get out to a perhaps distant barn, if you live in a built-up area, where there are no boarding facilities available anymore, etc. I seem to remember at the time of my last horse, before I had to give her up due to finances (which was 16 years ago ) a basic trim was $40, no shoes included. My first horse ? For a trim and re-set, shoes on the front, was $9.50 and 'new shoes' were about $2 extra. YEAH - that long ago ! :)
@@voiceofreason7856 things in my area, shoeing and other related farrier costs average well over 100-150 bucks each time which is just bonkers on some level, cause that expense adds up real quick. Board here is generally700- 900+ ish especially at the more reputable stables per month, then there’s other bills and whatnot obviously. And there’s a lot of people who are green/inexperienced horse people that don’t know and won’t accept help with their horses getting necessary things done like farrier work when they don’t know any better. It’s… very sad at the end of the day, because no one wins.
I’m not a horse person, but I could see the horse visibly relax and become more cooperative after you got the first few hooves trimmed. It was like, “he’s helping, I’m going to chill out now.”

It's vital to avoid damaging or injuring them, so all of that needs to be done by hand, and bit by bit, very carefully. It's literally back breaking work!
You might not be able to tell, I can't tell what your mind sees, but what looks like random clipping and yanking is actually being done with great knowledge and care. That's why he's going slow. It's because the hoof is complicted, and in some ways if it's injured the consequences can be severe.
We are very lucky here that the horse is a very calm one and the camera work is the best I recall seeing of farrier work.
Power tools can't be used on their hooves even for the part where they chop off the big projection on the front because since they are VERY nervous animals, the horses don't react well to the noise, and especially to the vibration of power tools.

Amazing transformation to watch, thank you for all you do for the horses.
It’s wonderful how u helped this amazing creature, he/ she must of felt so much relief! U did a great job, the horse must be so happy to be able to run around properly, and stand properly as well, stand in comfort, the horse must be so great full for ur amazing work and kind soul ❤
最初の爪を見てびっくりしてしまいました。どれだけの長い間手入れを放置していたのだと、お馬さんへの心身への負担も大きかった思います。
快適に健康にサポートして下さりありがとうございます。貴方のような職業の方が居ること、有難く誇りに思います。
Nice to see hand tools being used instead of a sawzall and grinder. Beautiful work.
It just amazes me with all the bad angles he was not lame before you worked on him. He definitely was in pain, but I would have thought you would have seen more lameness. The difference in behavior and shows the pain is so much less after you worked on him. Hopefully he stays in your care and you can continue to help him. As a horse person, having a great farrier is worth every penny you pay. I was lucky to find one that was amazing. Love watching your videos.
Agreed!
When I was younger and had horses, I learned two things: a) always have the horses up in the barn, cleaned up and ready to go a good hour before the farrier got there and b) always treat your farrier right.
Find out what their favourite beverage is, what sort of snack they like and always pay the bill right there before they leave. If they have a family, sending them home with a loaf of homemade bread or a batch of triple chocolate brownies in addition to their visit snack is usually a pretty good bet to put smiles on the whole family's faces.
In my part of the country, word of a good farrier gets around and it doesn't take long for them to get a full roster of clients. Being a reliable client that is always a pleasure to deal with goes a long way to making the cut when the farrier discovers they have to cut back (as they always do--it is inevitable).
You can't see lameness when all four legs are in pain. What you usually see is them shifting weight from the bad leg to the good legs, but if they are all bad that doesn't happen.
You did an awesome job on this poor pony. He must feel souch better now.
I once trimmed the hooves of a mule which looked pretty much the same as this pony's hooves, but they were so dry that I couldn't trim them back with my tools. I had to use a saw to get rid of the first big chunk on each hoof. Was a tough job, but I had help and thank goodness it worked.

Cutie little white horse and his curly feets.
I love your videos, can I get a comment heart?❤
You got it!
Such a sweet little pony. Thank you for helping her feel better.
DEUS ABENÇOA VOCÊ QUE AJUDOU O ANIMAL TADINHO 🙏 DEUS ABENÇOA O TRABALHO DE VOCÊS 🙏🙏🙏
I find it throating that people who know nothing about a subject, such as horseshoeing, fell they have a right to tell a professional on said subject how he or she is doing it wrong. You've had training, experience and are teaching others how to tend horses hooves. I've been around horses all my life, not an expert, and you do an amazing job. Thank you for sharing!
Poor baby, I love what you guys do and do know how to keep our steeds going in comfort❤ He was voicing his opinion at the end😢 like I feel great!🎉
Thank You!! If this horse could give You a Great Hug he would!! The pain isn't ❤ Love You for this!! Christy from Coville Wa.😊
Glad he found you guys 😁
What a beautiful creature! I’m so glad you were able to help him
Thank you for what you do for those beautiful animals. I've often wondered, after what is a drastic shape to the hooves in a very short time, how the tendons, muscles and ligaments feel in the short run - they must feel stretched in some places and even this new ideal hoof shape must feel painful while tissues adapt.
Какое чудесное исцеление запущенных копыт ))
Спасибо за ваш труд.
It was so hard for him to balance on those hooves at the beginning. Look ar his legs wobbling 0:19 😥
Bravo
And the house’s joists hurt too. I am not veterinarian , just a doctor ,but I think that’s true. 😢You are just super. 👌
Great job trimming! Looks so much more comfortable. ❤❤
I enjoy watching yalls work.
The pink stand really sets it off!!
The farrier describes knowing how much hoof to take off exactly how an artist in a different medium would describe knowing which bits of marble to remove when caving a statue.
I don’t know the first thing about it, but I’m always amazed that this does not seem to hurt the horse at all. I wish my chihuahuas were this well-behaved for a nail trim.
Hysterical. Dog nail trims are drama time!❤
These horses are so much better off after they have their hoofs worked on by you and your other guys and that are in very good shape when they leave your place. Thank you for your work.
WHY is no one talking about the Person in the background right side looks like the are maybe? working on a shoe until the head of the hammer flies off!! 8:04 time stamp!! They look so caught off guard!! Don't blame them!!
Great job! Yes the horse may be sore for a while but in the long run will be so much better. Thanks.
A wonderful transformation. 🤞He’s feeling much more comfortable now. 🐎💕
Omg poor horse, it was struggling. Good job! I hope it feels better now.
Amazing work! Thanks for sharing!
Wow you truly are a great one. Y’all just made that horses life a lot better. Well done you lad.
You did wonders with those hooves. I wouldn't even know where to begin with that mess. I'm impressed.
I know nothing about horses. I saw one video of your and now i cant stop watching them. I love the work you guys are doing. Must be a tough job on the body.
Where in the world do you find horses that have feet like this? I am sure he feels so much better.
I know absolutely nothing about any of this, but the horse seems to enjoy it. Keep up the good work.
What is strange is that the actual pony looks well fed, and otherwise cared for !
How could anyone neglect his hooves like that is the question ?!
It’s possible the horse is new to someone and this is just the next step in the healing process. But, farrier work is expensive depending on your area. That on top of vet bills, board, etc it all adds up. Cases of neglect and abuse or abandonment skyrocketed when we outlawed horse slaughter in the US, which often is how this ends up happening, until a new owner comes along. I doubt that the owner who brought this horse in is the one who caused the farrier work to go lax
@@Decodethefallenmoon I owned two horses - back to back - for 35 years so I know all about the 'expenses' ! The cheapest part of 'acquiring a horse' is the actual 'acquiring' ! Like you said, it's every thing else on top of that - board, vet, blacksmith, tack, etc., any and all showing costs if you go that route. Even a reliable vehicle to get out to a perhaps distant barn, if you live in a built-up area, where there are no boarding facilities available anymore, etc.
I seem to remember at the time of my last horse, before I had to give her up due to finances (which was 16 years ago ) a basic trim was $40, no shoes included. My first horse ? For a trim and re-set, shoes on the front, was $9.50 and 'new shoes' were about $2 extra. YEAH - that long ago ! :)
@@voiceofreason7856 things in my area, shoeing and other related farrier costs average well over 100-150 bucks each time which is just bonkers on some level, cause that expense adds up real quick. Board here is generally700- 900+ ish especially at the more reputable stables per month, then there’s other bills and whatnot obviously. And there’s a lot of people who are green/inexperienced horse people that don’t know and won’t accept help with their horses getting necessary things done like farrier work when they don’t know any better. It’s… very sad at the end of the day, because no one wins.
poor baby, god bless you for helping! i bet you made the horse just feel relieved!
