I love the idea of laying the nail onto the hoof wall and starting the clinching process with the foot forward. Up until now, I've always bent the nail down and dealt with it that way. I have stocks, but prefer to work on the ground when the horse behaves. Your video helped me to do a better job. Thank you
I had an 18.3 2,000 pound Percheron for a hobby horse, that I rode. I found he would break the drawn clips off the front feet in two weeks, he was so strong and powerful. I went to welded on clips and they would last thru two or three resettings. There was only one farrier in Michigan that had them, because he welded them up for the draft owners.

The nails bent up at the start was new to me too. I've only ever seen then through the hoof and bent down towards the shoe. (Saw first hand why the smart move is to do one at a time as well. Hoof down farriers leg with the nail not clipped, 40 stitches need to close the gash in the farriers calf).

Yeah lol the completely passive calm expression on this biggun shows you how it doesnt hurt them. She's more upset about being tripod horse during it. I was shocked to see the size of those hoofy feet. Thats about the size of a salad plate! I adore the extra floof on their feets so cute! Is that bearded fella her papa?

Thoses horses used too work hard in Belgium now is ok but in 1955 oh la alway horse work all daythank God for the machine i used too take care of two Very very strong gentle ...depend Bring them too ferrier about few mont h Good job must be Belgium there
I don't know anything about horses even tho I love them! I've watched many videos of their feet being done like this. So my question is about the anatomy of their feet. The part the shoe is nailed into, is that similar to maybe a person's finger nail? What about that soft stuff in the middle?
Guys, if the horse was getting hurt or had a serious problem, he would put up one hell of a harder fight than this. He’s just a little annoyed, not angry or in pain.
Ok...I'm new to this and have been watching these horse shoeing videos for 3 days now...I am totally addicted 😁😁 but I have questions...lots of questions. 1) what is a frog, and what's its purpose? 2) why do some horses have shoes and others do not? 3) what is the cost for the ferrier to shoe the horse or just trim their hooves? I guess that's enough questions for now. I'm about to google this. 😆😆😆
Some horses have shoes because they're old and need some support sometimes it's because they're on rough terrain or on concrete and asphalt which is bad for a horses hoof if they are on asphalt or concrete but they aren't neccecery if they aren't working
I wonder, does this particular horse over reach with his left hind leg and that's why the farrier trimmed off so much of the toe as he did? To prevent clipping the heel of the left front leg? It sort of looked like it in the very small bit of the clip at the end and sounded like it, but that's hard to judge by what little was there. 🌾Merry meet 🌿
Trimming to toe is to fit the front clip of the horse shoe in. So it's more in the hoof than on. My farrier used to do the same. Most of the farriers I know do it like that.
Since it's a draft horse and bigger than a thoroughbred or a pony it will get tiring for the farrier and they're very powerful horses hense the tying the hooves at some point and I'm sure they teach the horse that it won't hurt them from a young age so the horse won't balk or kick and the farrier has to keep a eye on the horses body movement and ear movement.
To the people saying does it hurt and stuff it does not hurt the horse. It’s like when you blow dry your hair you don’t feel the heat. When they put the nails through it doesn’t hurt either kinda like you put acrylic nails on with glue
Wish there was some narration to accompany what hes doing and why. I've seen them horseshoe at the barn but I'm always busy with work so I never get to stop and learn.
One of my horses thru a shoe that had a toe clip she steped on the clip driving it into the sole of her foot. it took forever to heal up. This video reminded me of that. I now use and swear by Cytek horse shoes
My knowledge is not perfect, but from what I know the shoe is not put on hot. It is pressed against the hoof while hot so it will be a more comfortable fit, but when it is actually nailed on it is relatively cool. This means the shoes fit better on the horse, and therefore are more comfortable and effective.
It depends on what sort of surface the horses are worked on and what the shoes are made of. In some environments the shoes would be worn down very rapidly. But in general the farrier can remove the shoes, trim the hooves, and put back on the same shoes, 2-3 or more times, every 6-8 weeks.
Y no le pone nada de protección donde apoya la pata el caballo. La apoya directamente sobre el borde de la madera. ¡¡ Claro !!..... como el caballo NO se queja.

Also no shits given to the correct hpa angle. Just trim rough as guts(if you could call that a trim) and burn on . It will be right mate , fuck the longevity of the horse's working life.
It's a normal halter. He just pulled the rope through to have more control. The horse weighs at least ten times more than the guy. With the rope like that he has a LITTLE more control over the horse, but if it want it can take off just like that, with guy, rope and halter and all. It doesn't hurt him. Many people do it just for a short moment.

Amazing the relationship between the Ferrier & beast. Truly awesome.
what an amazing animal I am happy to see this magnificent beast being so well cared for
You did notice it's missing its tail? That's illegal...
It's not illegal. It's just cruel.
Where they live (and where I live) it's ILLEGAL. For many years already.
They have to be taken care of in order for them to make that PRECIOUS DOLLAR for their money-whoring owners.

What a beautiful draft horse
Big fluffy boy gets new shoes. Cool

Hoof is like human nail then. It doesn't hurt the horse when red hot metal is used.
Soo satisfying seeing the dirt being removed.

Yeah its basically the same . as long as you dont get to close to the white inner layer they dont feel a thing
What about the part they call the "frog" I think they're saying.

Good Belgian work.
One of my great grandfathers was a farrier.
Guys, if the horse was getting hurt or had a serious problem, he would put up one hell of a harder fight than this. He’s just a little annoyed, not angry or in pain.
Always impressive.
That was really interesting, I’ve always kind of wondered how that was done.
That brings back fond memories when I took my horses to be shod.
True craftsman.

What does hot shoeing do for the hoof? I know it is to shape it, but why do they place the hot shoe on the hoof?
That must smell like shit while it's burning in.
Smells like burning hair.
It does 🤢
smells like burned hair, but nt that bad
Just like fingernails or rhino horn, it’s collagen or compressed hair type molecules.
Burnt hair is awful smelling, at least human hair.
Farriers always check the gait after new shoes.

One of my horses thru a shoe that had a toe clip she steped on the clip driving it into the sole of her foot. it took forever to heal up. This video reminded me of that. I now use and swear by Cytek horse shoes
Try putting them on a draught horse.
Couldn’t there should be a thick rubber cushion under the horses foot, ( upon the board) ?
Why they keep the horses so dirty...
That can't be good and healthy... I wonder if they get mud fever easily..

What exactly are the horseshoes do?
For support
Very nice
Where can i get a shoe from a Belgian horse
why hot shoe? what are the benefits of doing this vs. just putting cold shoes on him?
I dunno about horses but other comments were essentially for a better fit
My knowledge is not perfect, but from what I know the shoe is not put on hot. It is pressed against the hoof while hot so it will be a more comfortable fit, but when it is actually nailed on it is relatively cool. This means the shoes fit better on the horse, and therefore are more comfortable and effective.
The horse shoe doesn't fit the horse?????
A question. Why do they put the shoe when it's hot? To fit it in? Is it malleable?
Yes, they press the shoe to the horses hoof while it is still hot so it molds slightly into a better fit. The shoe is cooled before it is nailed in.
big boy
Can he do my horse??!! Lol!
Shoeing a horse looks like an expensive necessity. How long does the standard set of shoes last and how much does a four shoe job cost.
It depends on what sort of surface the horses are worked on and what the shoes are made of. In some environments the shoes would be worn down very rapidly. But in general the farrier can remove the shoes, trim the hooves, and put back on the same shoes, 2-3 or more times, every 6-8 weeks.
Jim Adams my horse looses her shoes often because she walks in mud but it all depends on the place they are being walked
@Dean Manson nothing, just needs a better farrier.
@Dean Manson if it's boggy and the horses needs it's show redoing they can often pull and loose a shoe
Huh, first time I see a horse without a tail.
It's to help their tails not get stuck in the harness
Lol I want one so bad lmfao I’m from the city but there so amazing
these are very ! strong work horses! Of course they don't get hurt . It;s all callus where the shoe goes on dummies, :):))
Those stocks make it easier if say.
7:56 put another shrimp on the barbie
I wonder if they used stainless steel. If it would be better
Not really, a lot of shoes are either iron or alluminum depending on the job. Stainless steel isn't very strong against abrasives (like asphalt.)
Why do I see blacksmiths ping their hammers off the anvil between strikes?
I think it's something to do with keeping the rhythm of the strikes.
No its to reset the hammer to be straight and strikes true and not at an angle they don't want.

That halter is absolutely horrendous with the rope incorrectly through it. Just makes me wanna ask more questions.
It's a normal halter. He just pulled the rope through to have more control. The horse weighs at least ten times more than the guy. With the rope like that he has a LITTLE more control over the horse, but if it want it can take off just like that, with guy, rope and halter and all. It doesn't hurt him. Many people do it just for a short moment.
Why do they insist on amputating their horses' tails. No protection against flies, it's cruel.
It's not cruel because they dock them so that they don't get their tails stuck in the harness or wheels
that horses tail is ready short it cant get the flys away from its back side!
They use fly spray they docked it so that it doesn't get snagged up in the harness
