This isn’t quite positive reinforcement (R+). It’s more so negative reinforcement (R-) or pressure/release. Positive reinforcement would be adding (+) something the horse wants.
@@WildLilyHorsemanship I don't see negative reinforcement at all, he got the foot up then he scratched and put it down- I thought that's what R+ was can include scratches
@@Jess_therat The act of picking up the foot when the mare doesn’t want to, is an aspect of pressure. Setting the foot down is release. Negative reinforcement is the removal of that pressure. Scratches don’t necessarily equate to R+. It depends on what the horse truly wants. In this situation I would assume the horse gets more from the foot being put down, rather than a scratch on the rear while the foot is still raised.
Yah and finding men like this, is extremely rare. You think most ferriers are going to put up with this nonsense and break their backs and ruin their hands and knees just because some IDIOT didnt know how to train their horse? Little girls owning horses and ruining basic maintainance
I love how he released pressure after she stopped fighting him. Horses learn great that way! I’m happy to see someone training their animal in a great way
Yes. It's great to see that. I've seen the opposite too many times. I'd been clicker training my baby colt. Had just gotten him to the point where I could pick up all of his feet while he stayed totally calm. Then a farrier came to trim his hooves for the first time. Ruined everything in about 5 minutes. This guy is great! 🙏🙏🙏
Years ago, we had a paint mare that could be dangerous to work with. We had a farrier come out to reset shoes. This character had zero patience, so when she shied away from him, he popped the lead rope in her face. The mare went into full terminator mode. He literally jumped into the back of his truck, and she put her front hooves on the tailgate. He packed his trash, screaming that she was a killer. The next farrier was the direct opposite. He spent 10 minutes getting to know her. He actually brushed her, talking to her the entire time. Absolutely amazing! I thought she was going to fall asleep with him working with her feet. She responded well with kindness and patience.
@cree_VI if you're gonna work with animals, being kind and patient should be a default. Animals of any sort don't tend to respond well to agression and impatience. Man 1 was either just an impatient man or was having a bad day and made a mistake. Man 2 knew his shit. All there is to it.
Been there. Hats off to you sir. Thought my dad was the only one that handled and gentled the crazy ones. He just retired last month at 77. Godspeed and stay safe
@@ChrisGregoryFarrier he taught me. I always spent weekends and summers holding for him or handing him tools. He loved the ones that nobody in their right mind would touch. He trained too. He is/was a horseman instead of a cowboy.
50 yrs! Was he able to stand up straight? That and hot shoeing are my least favorite farrier jobs. Idk how you all can be so bent over like that for hours/day.
I love seeing masters of their crafts passing on their knowledge. It's amazing he can remain so calm, instruct very well, and control the horse all at once.
Your skill, kindness, confidence and patience is a win-win for sure! For you, certainly the horse and most definitely the clients. I wish more farriers were taught like this. Thank you for being a master of your craft, and like usual, sharing it with us all.
To many people come unglued if a horse displays anything except being a weekend warrior, meaning been there done that a hundred times and a temper has no place in my barn. The soft slow talking n rubbing a horse to pass along reassurance, just being calm n showing them what you want them to do and that it won't hurt them, rather than unleashing anger which won't make things better. This guy is a great teacher with this young horse n this young man teaching him to not get hurt while working on a problem horse.
Man those are some powerful and deadly kicks. The amount of force behind them is staggering, to say the least. Props to you guys who know what you're doing.
@@olaapekopp that happened b/c she was shod. I’ve seen that video. Was definitely the handlers fault as they had her filly running around an open pen while trying to introduce the mare to a new stallion.
People think all you have to do is buy the horse, that’s the cheapest thing in the equation, a very large animal vet a good farrier and a good caring trainer are the most important parts to the equation! Without those three forget it for the horse. So buyers beware. Don’t get a horse without RESEARCHING every possible angle. It’s not fair to you or to the horse. (Might add ESPECIALLY to the horse). Thank God we have good farriers that do this wonderful videos. Thank you kind sir for your skills and patience.
Horses are very curious, very intelligent, easily startled and fearful of new things. They are very big and very strong. You don’t MAKE a horse do anything. You train them and then ask them. I was lucky to learn what not to do with a horse from kind knowledgeable folks. All my horses were rescue horses. Sharing time with horses has been some of the most rewarding time I ever spent.
I have a Hackney that was very badly treated before I bought him. It took me literally a couple years of working with him before I could handle his hind quarters and pick up his back legs. He still will twitch and tense up a little if I touch his hind legs unexpectedly, but calms as soon as I speak to him.
My respect to this gentleman ! He truly knows what he is doing. He is an all pro, he looks like he enjoys what he does! By the way! The horse is beautiful. Looks healthy and well taken care of. My respect.
THIS!!!!!! This is horsemanship!! Makes my heart so happy! No screaming. No beating. No dominance. Just patience, kindness and true understanding! ❤️❤️
That’s what kept me away from the horse world for so long. Been saving, trying to break into wrangling now that I see skills that I’m okay with. I know a horse of mine would be happier than a Spanish stallion whose been soared by millionaires.
🐴 🐴 🐴 I make $40 an hour and off 3-4 days a week if I want. That’s 250 a day. Idk if that would afford me to budget for horse vets and emergencies tho. I don’t have any kids or other obligations in life.
Great video. My family had horses and I've been riding as a teenager, so I also cleaned their hoofs and some horses were more relaxed about it than others. I was always impressed by how experienced horseshoers handled the situation and how they did their work.
I have great respect for anyone who can do this. Even more for someone who is good at it. I did it one time back in my younger days. That was really hard work.

There’s something so satisfying about seeing someone demonstrate their years of experience and teach something that actually undeniably works because they’re doing it right then in front of you.
Agreed. The world can always use more of this type of positivity. Also, this type if informative content, specifically made for safety, and to keep people (& animals) from getting hurt.🙂
It’s wonderful to see that theirs still good horsemen teaching people the professional way to work with horses. In our shoeing Business we take pride being able to work with horses and mules in this style of horsemanship. Not to long ago a lot of farriers and blacksmith used to take a lot of pride in this style of work but that few and far between this day and age. Keep up the awesome videos.
I used to hold horses for farriers and horse dentists. It was an exciting job at times . My job was to keep the horse off of the farrier ,dentist or veterinarian. Sometimes we had to use a twitch or lip shank. Do you guys still use stocks for the really dangerous horses? The horse shoer I worked with a was also a blacksmith .I liked the Anvil's Ring Magazine , the instructions for ironwork were easy to understand. I am glad I was able to work with skilled craftsmen of forgotten occupations.
He and his son are by far some of the nicest people I’ve met in life. I used to do maintenance and repair work on their plane. They are just as cool and relaxed outside the pen as in it. I really enjoyed working with them. If you guys see this, I hope all is going well for you and wish the best. Merry Christmas from the Hills.
I’d suggest look up America FFA it’s the organization that supports everything agriculture from there you’ll learn about diff jobs this is putting shoes on a horse
@PowerfulLighting A steer is a cow! Steer wrestling is where a horse rider drops off their horse and wrestles the cattle to the ground. It takes as much technique as it does strength, just like you can see with him handle the leg of this horse.
Heartland Ferrier school! I drive by your school while headed from NWA to KC and have always wanted to see the goings on. As a kid I loved watching our ferrier with our horses when he’d visit. You guys work your tails off!
Thanks Michael. They almost made a reality TV show here one time and I talk about my worst kick in the teaser. Enjoy. th-cam.com/video/yH-3yxsnYNA/w-d-xo.html
@@ShhooterMcGavin Many have been killed from a horse kick. There's a video somewhere online of a horse kicking another horse square in the forehead and it instantly kills the horse.
Wow! My father in law was a farrier. I've seen it and you gotta be so tough! I have always respected anyone who can work with horses. They're so big and beautiful.
This 100% works. I lived and worked on a horse and cattle ranch for nearly 9 years, and this is exactly the way you handle an ornery horse that keeps kicking when you need to get to it's hoof. Normally this isn't too much of a problem with horses that have been broke, but horses do have different temperments, just like people, and you can have one that is a real a jackass to deal with even after being broke.
That is truly fascinating you're amazing at handling horses but you're also a very good teacher I mean you really demonstrated well and spoke extremely well I love horses I've never had one but boy this is a really special video I'm going to share it on my Facebook
In my family when we get a new competition horse we always work with them going down their legs and talking like he is without trying to force the foot up because we want our horses to be a little calmer when they see the farrier so it’s just how my mom raised us. You got to have your horse know you, you have to gain the trust. I can duck down and walk under any one of my horses and they’re not gonna do a thing. But when their new you have to work with them and I know how hard it is to do the job he’s doing so if I can help at all about working with my mare before she sees him all the better
@gingerlebret3770 I taught all my horses to be rein tied, to allow me to cross under their neck and to allow us to touch, lift their feet and cross behind them without so much as a wiggle or snort. They didn't like someone else doing all that but they allowed it. The reason for all those skills was because one horse I got took a chunk outa my shoulder when I was crossing under her neck!!!😢 Her previous owner told me she allowed all these things and she threw a wall-eyed hissy fit when you tried any one of those moves. Cost me 82 stitches and a big danged scar!!😅
You know I started gaining interest in these sorta jobs like being a farrier, jobs that are not well known but is very important for specific things. Idk if it's just me tho but I'm really impressed that someone back then had the courage to trim a horse's hooves and eventually put horseshoe on them. Great respect for people like this.
It's called patience with love and care along with experience! Patience is something that most people now days don't have as well as love, care, empathy and compassion towards others as well as animals.
@@ChrisGregoryFarrier You're welcome! I've got the best farrier right now I've ever had! He's taught me so much about how a horse's entire health revolves around a healthy set of hooves. I sent him this video. I know he'll appreciate it!
@@ChrisGregoryFarrier isn't it like un common sense tho... 🤔 if you think logically you can achieve lots of actions in life!!! So what do you say this specific horse was on a 1 to 10 scale versus your standard horse and your over complacent horse? 🐎 🐴 🎠 🏇 🐎 🐴
I remember seeing some people be so forceful with horses when I was growing up. It’s nice to see someone taking the time and understanding they are emotional beings too. A little patience and reassurance goes a long way. Glad to see you sharing the right way to go about it! 💜
Same! It use to upset me so much. When I was young some of the guys were so rough with them. A nervous/scared kicker like this would've be shoved in the stocks and had the leg forcibly tied up in order to work on. So wrong. I got away from anyone who worked horses like that as soon as I was old enough. I love seeing this amazing patient, empathetic treatment. ❤
What an amazing teacher. So kind and patient. Love so much to see this compared to sadly some of the "old school" ways I HATED seeing as a kid growing up around horses, of using force, and tying then up in stocks for example. This is how it should be!

Thanks for watching and commenting Sophia.
Agreed. The world can always use more of this type of positivity. Also, this type if informative content, specifically made for safety, and to keep people (& animals) from getting hurt.🙂
Cowboy: "once you let that toe go....but if you do this and that..."
Horse: hihihi let me see you try mustache.
Cowboy: okay
It's very nice to see a professional at work!
It’s wonderful to see that theirs still good horsemen teaching people the professional way to work with horses. In our shoeing Business we take pride being able to work with horses and mules in this style of horsemanship. Not to long ago a lot of farriers and blacksmith used to take a lot of pride in this style of work but that few and far between this day and age. Keep up the awesome videos.
Thank you Edwin. I hope you love the Blacksmith Boot Camp that we have coming to TH-cam soon.
@@ChrisGregoryFarrier Sounds interesting!
"theirs?" ha ha "Not to long?"
If I were younger I'd be in Montana on the range!
I used to hold horses for farriers and horse dentists. It was an exciting job at times . My job was to keep the horse off of the farrier ,dentist or veterinarian.
Sometimes we had to use a twitch or lip shank. Do you guys still use stocks for the really dangerous horses?
The horse shoer I worked with a was also a blacksmith .I liked the Anvil's Ring Magazine , the instructions for ironwork were easy to understand.
I am glad I was able to work with skilled craftsmen of forgotten occupations.
It's interesting how TH-cam keeps reminding me how dangerous the kicks of a pissed off mare can be.
That is interesting Joao
Foreshadowing
And yet you never seen how dangerous can they bite be
Rdr2 taught me that ☠
They can kill if they get you good enough
He and his son are by far some of the nicest people I’ve met in life. I used to do maintenance and repair work on their plane. They are just as cool and relaxed outside the pen as in it. I really enjoyed working with them.
If you guys see this, I hope all is going well for you and wish the best. Merry Christmas from the Hills.
He has an airplane? So he's an aircraft farrier?
Thank you for educating folks on gentleness and meekness . And Mercy.
His leg brace tells me he learnt all this the hard way...
It is from steer wrestling
@@ChrisGregoryFarrier as a European i want to know what that is, never heard those words before.
I’d suggest look up America FFA it’s the organization that supports everything agriculture from there you’ll learn about diff jobs this is putting shoes on a horse
@PowerfulLighting A steer is a cow! Steer wrestling is where a horse rider drops off their horse and wrestles the cattle to the ground. It takes as much technique as it does strength, just like you can see with him handle the leg of this horse.
What's that use in his legs
Composure, wisdom and old man strength. Those horses are chilling.
Thanks for watching
Simply impressive. I was scared and holding my breath just watching my phone. Brave guy!
Look at the musculature on display. Absolutely beautiful animals, horses.
This is amazing to see, you can clearly see how you're earning the horses trust in real time. A true master of his craft!
Thank you for your comment.
As opposed to fake time?
Well then at that time I'd tell horse to fix it himself and enjoy painful hoofs
It’s a joy to watch a Master at any task. Lovely how he progressed step by step to show this incredible animal she is going to be ok.
To take the time to learn how to do this while simultaneously keeping the horse calm and comfortable is like the highest level of love.
Not really, pretty normal human behavior. Lots of selfish psychos out there these days that are impatient and have no love for animals.
Not just time but immense strength too horse are very strong.
your confidence and patience . calm talk . makes horse relax . thats the key
Love when technique is taught so smoothly, mans a master 😂
legit doing a live tutorial 😂
Facts
A man who knows horses . So good to see .
Patience is the key . Move slowly let the horse relax gain confidence. Much better than hobbling and twitching.
It's always great to see anyone demonstrate superior understanding of animals. Very interesting and good to learn things.
Can she feel your confidence ??? I love horses so much. They are beautiful.
Heartland Ferrier school! I drive by your school while headed from NWA to KC and have always wanted to see the goings on. As a kid I loved watching our ferrier with our horses when he’d visit. You guys work your tails off!
U two are literally the most gentle farriers I have ever seen in my 8 years horse riding/working with horses
Fun fact: This man shaves his face CLEAN every night, but by morning his stache grows back from sheer baddassness.

@@ChrisGregoryFarrier Eh... idk. I think Chuck Norris might have called this man pops once upon a time.

@@ChrisGregoryFarrier lol you called that man, Jack. His name, John. 😂
I'll never forget this. Seen the aftermath of two horse kicks in person as an EMT. It scarred me for life. You got a set on you brother!
Out of curiosity, what does the aftermath look like? Serious injury’s?
Thanks Michael. They almost made a reality TV show here one time and I talk about my worst kick in the teaser. Enjoy. th-cam.com/video/yH-3yxsnYNA/w-d-xo.html
It can actually be deadly. There is a lot of power in a kick like this.
@@ShhooterMcGavin Many have been killed from a horse kick.
There's a video somewhere online of a horse kicking another horse square in the forehead and it instantly kills the horse.
His leg brace says it all
You are so game ! I love how you donot use aggression but you gradually show her .I 😘 ve horses but i couldnot do this. Amazing !
He took the time to deal with it, and didnt smack the horse in the gut with the rasp. Thank you. Horse learns not to get upset each time.
His horse savviness helps him make the distinction between whether the horse is kicking out of fear or kicking out of aggression
Shaadap
That takes skill. I give anyone credit and TOTAL respect who knows how to do this.
Wow thats amazing he even comfort the horse "touch her right here letting her know shes going to be ok" 🥺💖
Just part of my job.
Iv used that technique on many a philly

It's always amazing to see a man and or woman showing and sharing the skills they've mastered within their craft.
I agree Francisco. Doesn't matter the craft.
Thank you for making this I got thrown off from my horse who was being a little Asshole that day and bucked me off, so sorry for cussing BTW
💯💯💯💯
Especially older folks showing younger people.
where is the women lololol
Patience is EVERYTHING. Thank you sir
Wow! My father in law was a farrier. I've seen it and you gotta be so tough! I have always respected anyone who can work with horses. They're so big and beautiful.
A great and noble beast Sandi.
For sure.
This 100% works. I lived and worked on a horse and cattle ranch for nearly 9 years, and this is exactly the way you handle an ornery horse that keeps kicking when you need to get to it's hoof. Normally this isn't too much of a problem with horses that have been broke, but horses do have different temperments, just like people, and you can have one that is a real a jackass to deal with even after being broke.
LOL
Nah shit or what did you think they where showing you the wrong way to do and teaching you how to get kicked.
@@Sora_Nai im guessing this is the first youtube advice video you've watched..
@@alexyoungberg5232 no
@@Sora_Nai yes.
That is truly fascinating you're amazing at handling horses but you're also a very good teacher I mean you really demonstrated well and spoke extremely well I love horses I've never had one but boy this is a really special video I'm going to share it on my Facebook
Thanks a lot Paul. The more shares we get the more it keeps the school running. Sure appreciate you. www.heartlandhorseshoeing.com
In my family when we get a new competition horse we always work with them going down their legs and talking like he is without trying to force the foot up because we want our horses to be a little calmer when they see the farrier so it’s just how my mom raised us. You got to have your horse know you, you have to gain the trust. I can duck down and walk under any one of my horses and they’re not gonna do a thing. But when their new you have to work with them and I know how hard it is to do the job he’s doing so if I can help at all about working with my mare before she sees him all the better
@gingerlebret3770 I taught all my horses to be rein tied, to allow me to cross under their neck and to allow us to touch, lift their feet and cross behind them without so much as a wiggle or snort. They didn't like someone else doing all that but they allowed it. The reason for all those skills was because one horse I got took a chunk outa my shoulder when I was crossing under her neck!!!😢 Her previous owner told me she allowed all these things and she threw a wall-eyed hissy fit when you tried any one of those moves. Cost me 82 stitches and a big danged scar!!😅
Pretty dangerous. 😱 hats off to his strength
You know I started gaining interest in these sorta jobs like being a farrier, jobs that are not well known but is very important for specific things. Idk if it's just me tho but I'm really impressed that someone back then had the courage to trim a horse's hooves and eventually put horseshoe on them. Great respect for people like this.
It is a fantastic trade.
Much respect for ferriers. Science & art. Such important work.
I can only guess the years of experience you have on your shoulders. Great work!
It's been my life passion. Check out th-cam.com/video/yH-3yxsnYNA/w-d-xo.html
It's called patience with love and care along with experience! Patience is something that most people now days don't have as well as love, care, empathy and compassion towards others as well as animals.
Being a good farrier is an art most people don't appreciate. Excellent!
Thanks Sandy.
@@ChrisGregoryFarrier You're welcome! I've got the best farrier right now I've ever had! He's taught me so much about how a horse's entire health revolves around a healthy set of hooves.
I sent him this video. I know he'll appreciate it!
Now that is knowing your business. So impressive.
Thank you for your kind words Stuart
All animals deserve our love and patience and respect .Thankyou for treating them so well .
Can we take a moment and appreciate how gentle he is?!!
Respect for your knowledge and skill level. Your students are lucky to have an instructor like you.
Thanks Christo.
@@ChrisGregoryFarrier isn't it like un common sense tho... 🤔 if you think logically you can achieve lots of actions in life!!! So what do you say this specific horse was on a 1 to 10 scale versus your standard horse and your over complacent horse? 🐎 🐴 🎠 🏇 🐎 🐴
@@ChrisGregoryFarrier srsly tho you skills are amazing your nerves are trained well and your mind is very absorbent
I remember seeing some people be so forceful with horses when I was growing up. It’s nice to see someone taking the time and understanding they are emotional beings too. A little patience and reassurance goes a long way. Glad to see you sharing the right way to go about it! 💜
Thank you.
Same! It use to upset me so much. When I was young some of the guys were so rough with them. A nervous/scared kicker like this would've be shoved in the stocks and had the leg forcibly tied up in order to work on. So wrong. I got away from anyone who worked horses like that as soon as I was old enough. I love seeing this amazing patient, empathetic treatment. ❤
Guy is good and he is strong. Finding a knowledgeable farrier is pure gold.
As a serious enjoyer of farrier videos, this was a fascinating watch. Well done, sir.
What an amazing teacher. So kind and patient. Love so much to see this compared to sadly some of the "old school" ways I HATED seeing as a kid growing up around horses, of using force, and tying then up in stocks for example. This is how it should be!
Thanks for watching Rene. I grew up seeing the old ways myself.
Experienced and physically strong man sharing his knowledge and safety tips. Good man for sharing to keep everyone, man and horse, safe.
Beautifully done with love and firm, unchanging command. AND a knee/leg brace thingy on your leg. Wow.
Thank you !!
No cruel rope tie down or twitching ..
Good ole fashion patience and kindness ..
