Sometimes he even does some jobs for free! Like when a supporter was going to pay for a few horses to be casted, he gave them a rough estimate just for the materials and process, and didn't seem to include his own time and struggles that would normally be there.
That is one patient farrier. My farrier would tell me to get a trainer and wouldn’t come back until I did. I do understand these are rescues. You have a gem of a farrier.
But at the same time, these horses act up because they are in pain, caused by bad hooves. Do we really want a trainer to teach these horses to ignore their pain and be good behaving horses no matter what?
Definitely, especially since a lot of even good farriers will either not work with drafts period, not work with "troubled," or "problem," horses period or specifically problem drafts.. meaning any farrier that's willing to work with problem horses especially drafts is a miracle to anyone even more so a rescue or sanctuary. 👏
@Reptile_Gecko So many of your animals are not used to being handled, some having been ignored for years. Paulie should be getting combat pay! Farriers are rather costly, aren't they?
Your farrier is a gem. It is great he is getting admired by all your watchers. It is good to see content that shows the backgroud to keeping a rescue running
Paully has a great heart. I've seen him hang around to help with tasks that most farriers would run away from, saying "I don't paid for that, so I'm outta here!" And he does some jobs for cost, just to help the poor horse.
Poor Pauly, he looks like he's in a lot of pain. He doesn't usually lose his patience with unruly horses, and when he does, there is a good reason. Nate knows that clean and shiny does make a tractor work better. Its great to see him take such good care of the farm equipment. Love your videos - keep up the great work you all do!❤❤❤❤
Pauly you're a damn saint. These horses and rescue are so unbelievably lucky to have you. You're doing the work that the original owners of these horses should have done long ago. I would love to have you guys do a video with Pauly explaining how you can teach your horses at home to stand well with respect. I think there's a ton of ignorant owners who simply don't know how or why you should be working with them on this.
Paulie has a patitence of a saint. And possibly thighbones made out of titanium... I wish you guys had a vet as easily available as HP has. Some happy drugs may save some pain. But it is interesting to see how Paulie does it without drugs. That Espresso, despite needing to be lassoed stood nicely for trim is amazing. She seems to know trims are nice at least.
Wow, Pauly is one tough guy. His videos are so informative and helps us all understand how important a competent, compassionate, and knowledgeable farrier is. I applauded his commitment and dedication to these rescued horses, mules, and minis. You are very lucky to have him.
Oh Pauly, I really hope you are doing ok! It‘s such a hard job. And like others commented - there aren‘t many farriers that even work with rescue horses! And you can‘t forget - these are often horses that are neglected, abused, untrained. And they easily can became a danger to themselves and to people. And we all know the fate of those horses! You can absolutely not compare rescue horses with training a „normal“ horse! It‘s much better the horse is kicking off the rope - than a Human leg. It might look hard - but there is no hitting, the horse doesn‘t get hurt. And it has to learn to get its feet done. Otherwise there is simply no future. Pauly is doing such a phenomenal job, he knows a lot. I really like to listen to his explanations. And I find it very soothing to see all the things around the rescue work, too. Nate is such a handyman! A big thank you to every single one of you helping the animals! I was especially happy to see the cat again! 😊
Love seeing Nate he provides essential services that often get overlooked, so thank you for everything you do that we don’t see Pauly. Thank you, your knowledge, care and dedication will improve there lives even if they are not thankful of your work at the time
Before Pauley even started, it was apparent he was trying to overcome the pain. Then he had horses that wouldn’t cooperate & ones that actively were kicking. That is back-breaking work to start with. I hope he isn’t too bruised up & gets some pain relief.
I can remember my mother saying the wheel fell off the wagon, so I painted it purple, and it worked just fine!" She was a welder during WWII here in the shipyards in Ontario, Canada! So, I fully appreciate Nate's inner need!
Omg don’t you just love Nate he is so patient and just quietly gets on with things fixes machines that we would have no idea where to start and just walk away from 🙈🙈🙈
Intense episode but so informative!!! 🖒 I learned more about horses!!! 🐎😊 Pauly is amazing!!! Always learn from him!! Nice to see his brother learning from the best!! Blessings to you for what you do!!! 🙏💕
My goodness Pauly!! You sure did have a rough day. You’re one heck of a farrier. All your hard work is greatly appreciated. Thank you for explaining everything in layman’s terms. 💛
It’s so sad that the previous owners didn’t do their jobs properly and teach these horses how to behave and show them that most humans only have their best interests in mind.
Pauly, you are incredible!! Hope you have some good muscle relaxers and maybe a stiff drink... Not together... Love watching you work and explain. Nate put in a full day too!
Haha! We totally get it but we try to keep our videos as personal as we can so everybody feels a part of the team, even when they are not here. Tractors and fields come with it all! :) Thank you for watching and supporting us!
More Pauly! He is a exceptional farrier and always keeps the horses welfare in mind before anything else! He is so informative and clear about all he does. He is just amazing with the animals and really works to get every horse’s hooves healthy! We Love him because he goes the extra mile! Cindy we appreciate your operation from top to bottom! I can see your loving nature and your love of animals reflected on all around you! Your current vet is so interesting and really great working with all types of horses! We love her great personality and just really all she brings to help the injured and ill horses back to health. We love to see your trainer work. She is so patient while giving the horse’s the opportunity to learn what’s needed to find that perfect home! We are all her fans! Sorry this is so long and choppy but there are so many wonderful folks there like you husband that can do it all, giving us some great examples of what it takes to provide for horses. My husband loves the tractors. Thank you for all you and your group do for so many horse’s in need.
You are so lucky to have mechanically inclined husband. Mine is a farm boy and change a light bulb. Your farrier is awesome. There's not any farriers where I live that will trim rescue equines. I've been trying to find a farrier like yours for two years. Unfortunately I have a mule that has to be roped and tranquilized. Kudos to pauly!!! We love your videos
LOL Nate, you guys have a million horses, do your own haying, and fix your own tractors, you are real farmers! It's so lucky to have a fix-it guy on the farm like my dad who kept things running on scraps and duct tape for years, every barn needs one like you Nate. Pauly is such a sweetheart! I love how gentle and understanding he is with them.
I love watching Pauly he is a awesome ferrier I am a fan of all you and your staff does when I watch sometimes I cry from all the animals that suffers from human neglect. God Bless each and everyone of you . ❤❤❤
We have a stock but it is currently under construction! Stock are also mainly for Draft horses as most of the ones we did in this video would be too small for it! :)
Yeah, they should have gotten one of those that they use for cattle, especially for the wild ones. Or Pauly should get a go found me to have one to pull around with him, would save his back.
Is there anything that Nate can’t fix? Very talented man! If you all ever come over this way, I’ll feed you, if you let me know when you come. Paula is lookin for some help I see. Nice to keep it in the family. Thank you for the video.
Wow nice hay ! Nate did a great job on the hay cutter and on painting his farm all tractor! Looks brand new😊 Poor Pauly he’s so good with the horses and patience with them. ❤❤😅
Whoaaa, that was flipping intense! Never seen such a spitfire pony like that! Again, SMDH! It's NOT their FAULT, DAMIT, THAT MAKES ME SOO DAMN MAD! NO DAMN SENSE in letting a babe go w/o any training!!!👹😡😡😡 Bless your ferrier's heart! WOW...❤❤❤
I love everything about this show. Have had horses and understand the ups and downs. You have such a wonderful staff and Pauly and vets. Please keep up the wonderful work and keep the videos coming. Thank you so much!
For those who think some of the treatment is too harsh when helping these inexperienced horses. Theyare a danger to themselves and others. That CANNOT be continued. They sometimes have to have crash tests. These will remember not only the start the results of these experiences. From fear and anger to realization of that they are ok. You must understand what could happen to these horses if allowed to stay a threat to themselves and others. End of life. Difficult choices sometimes have to be made.
Yes Betty, you're right. Among the viewers who are inexperienced or only a bit experienced with caring for horses throughout their whole life cycle, there is a trend lately to overreact to things that they think might cause a bit of discomfort to the horse. If it were possible to remove all discomfort, we would, but it isn't always possible. The trend is a direct result of 2 TH-cam horse personalities, RaleighLink and Think Like A Horse. They both make a living by criticizing other horse people. Most of it is caused by RaleighLink, because she is a very attractive young woman in her early 20s, who the female teenagers and teeny boppers all really relate to, and they want to be just like her. She has had her TH-cam channel for 10 years, and she has a heavy emphasis on preventing cruelty to horses, which of course is wonderful. But the problem is that she has become extremely arrogant. The adoration of her audience has really gone to her head. And it is adoration of the kind that only teenaged girls and very young women are capable of, verging on fanaticism. She is, or claims to be, a veterinary student. She also claims to have been a riding teacher, horse trainer, barn manager, and all around expert. But a 24 yr old person can't possibly be an expert at all those things, as she claims. It just isn't possible! And go to university at the same time as achieving all of that? I'm sorry. But it just ain't true. You can't even be an expert in 1 of them by age 24, no matter when you started riding. She has done a lot of good work for horses. So it's such a shame that it's become a project focused on building her own ego! She reviews and reacts to videos the audience finds and sends her, with no context at all for them. Some of them are fair evaluations, but if she has a fight with her new husband or something, LOOK OUT! You do not want to be the subject of her review! Her commentary is sometimes too soft, and at other times it's just nitpicking, but it's often combined with vindictiveness of the very worst kind. Extreme viciousness and outright lies are now a part of her shtick. (Shtick means a style a person uses on stage to stand out from the others.) Even criticisms that are legitimate are put across in the worst possible way. To remain objective she should keep the personal insults and lies out of it. I'm really shocked that she hasn't been sued yet! But the teenagers and teeny boppers that are so in love with her, and see her as their idol, think it's cool to try and emulate her. So they go all over the horse channels claiming that they see abuse when they just don't understand the circumstances, or the fact that places like family farms and rescues are not always able to create the fantasy of a perfect world, where they have all the knowledge in the world, and access to the best facilities, supplies, equipment, and experts 24/7. They are expecting the perfection that Raleigh seems to demand, so they can be too harsh and judgemental. It should be obvious to anyone that even Raleigh herself can't create this perfect world for her own horse. Of course cruelty is abhorent! So is neglect. And people do need to be educated that their gaps in knowledge can create great harm to these wonderful, majestic animals! But the critics need to include some realism. If a person or group is trying their best to help, and somebody attacked them as viciously as Raliegh and Think Like A Horse do, they would devasted! Heartbroken! Does that help the situation? A lot of her criticism is well placed. And a lot of the information she provides is very important. It's usually explained well, including diagrams of horse anatomy etc. Even some of the very harsh criticism is very well placed. Her channel could be such a great resource! But the videos where she goes nuts on someone without knowing any of the facts, and imputing nefarious motives to people who are just doing their best, have become too common for my liking. But her audience just love it, and she knows that. The attack videos get more views, and she gets more praise from her sychophants for them. They're more exciting. Think Like A Horse uses the same reasoning exactly. Or is it just an excuse for these frustrated, immature people to take out their frustrations on somebody else? He (name unknown) is even more vicious at times, and he seems to hate minorities, especially women. He even yells and screams at times, just full of hatred and anger. But he doesn't have as much of a following among the young aspiring women. I'm not saying there is no place for activism regarding horse welfare. On the contrary, there should be more of it! But it needs to have a conscience that those 2 channels don't have. You can see the arrogance from Raleigh's opening. Her videos always start with "Hay Bitch!" Who do you think that's directed to? Of course, it's aimed at teenagers who will think it's edgy and funny. It got a laugh out of me too. But it got old really fast. She's definately pandering to teenaged wannabes. A few have horses, and many are older than that, like I am, but the most dedicated ones who try to be like her are the immature kids, and it's them who go around with heavy criticism of anything or everything, and no understanding of the realities involved. They need to grow up. I know they leave comments, but I hope they also read comments. And if they truly do want to learn about horses, I hope they watch a wide variety of videos. And I hope they read books too, as old fashioned as that may seem. I'm so tired of the people on YT, in every kind of group, who think that they're an expert after watching 5 or 6 videos. What a ridiculous idea! It takes many years of both hands-on experience and a lot of studying to become an expert at anything! For most of us, including the real experts (which I am not) the more we learn, the more we realize that we have so much MORE to learn. And that instead of criticizing others, we should try to be better ourselves, and kinder to both horses and people. Here's hoping that Raleigh, Think Like A Horse, and their audiences all grow up. That keep their love of horses, and start to have some balance. That they incorporate reality into their world view. I know it's more pleasant living in a bubble, and I'm as guilty as the next person for wanting to hang onto mine, but we all have to grow up, and to wake up, many times in our lives. It's time for them to grow up and see what harm is being caused by this random spreading of anger, just because the channel owner had a bad day. Criticism is ok if it's given in proportion to the transgression. An eye for an eye, or a tooth for a tooth is ok. But not a kidney for a toenail, a lung for a peice of hair, an eye for an eyelash, an arm for a fingertip! They need to realize these are real people that are being targetted, sometimes very unfairly. Not always, but sometimes. And that's just as cruel as the abuse they claim to be fighting.
Pauly shouldn't be the one training these horses in the first place. This isn't a positive experience for these horses. They haven't learned anything good from this. This should have been done well before he had to work with them. Or they should be sedated. Putting your farrier in constant danger like this is just stupid. Especially when it can easily be avoided with some basic horsemanship. Yes, Pauly know what he's doing, but he shouldn't be put in the position to have to fix all this BS.
@@saraanderson8858 I have to agree entirely on this! There are many times that I've really wondered who on earth is running this barn? Often I have thought that no planning or experience at all was involved in a task. Some were big and some were small. And of course we all make mistakes, but zeezus, sometimes I think none of the ones on screen have ever worked with horses before, and who on earth allowed them to do these tasks this way? Is there no preplanning at all in this barn?
I love the way Garfield just showed up one day, moved himself in and that was that. He understands his role as mouser and love bug. It's just perfect. ❤
I'll just add another Poor Paulie to the list. I hope he gets the opportunity to heal that back. And Knee. And whatever else got hurt during this last visit. And I'm so glad that you guys have the means of getting the hay you need. I wish that more rescues had that ability.
After reading through the comments, I have some thoughts: Pauly is neither held hostage at Pony Tales, nor does he need babysitting. If he was uncomfortable with working with rescue horses, he wouldn't be working with rescue horses. And from watching his no-nonsense, straightforward attitude, I'm pretty sure he's going to say it when he knows he can't handle a horse. Also, correct me if I'm wrong, I have the feeling that often these rescues have such bad feet that waiting until they're ready to be trained could risk serious and lasting injury to the animal. Pauly probably doesn't just go in to work on difficult horses just for a hoot.
Pauly I know that you Really hurt. The horse needs to be worked with and gentlele first as you know. I know that it will take time and hopefully she/he has a short memory about the last trimming. It will get done eventually. May your back heal quickly because YOU ARE THESE HORSES LAST CHANCE to having a good set of feet and best of all comfort. ALSO CINDY YOU HAVE A GOOD MAN!! JUST REMEMBER keep his stomach full have good &cold beer at days end and never go to bed mad. Laugh with each other every day and you will make it.
utmost admiration for the help you're willing to provide for these mostly badly handled n uncared for horses before they came to the refuge. i've had quite a few stints over the years working with racehorses, both young n old in NZ...incredibly well educated types. most farriers dont have the balls to help out with the types of horses you do. much respect.
In the beginning of my horse career I trained Standards for racing, I'd do it again tomorrow. I never had any as tall as the two I've seen with PTR but they are beautiful!
Goodness some of these horses are so dramatic about their feet, Pauly merely looks at a hoof and they think he's trying to kill them! I know some will be reacting out of trauma and obviously they'll probably have good reasons to be scared. Though for some I think it is just dramatics XD
Another well done episode. I know that you do not want advice about how to handle the horses. But maybe you can consider using a lick to help Paulie with the difficult horses? The horses that Steve Young sees all love Horslyx, the original flavor. I hate to see Paulie getting bashed around.
An you imagine cutting that hay with a team of horses, not a tractor? I’ve seen some TH-cam videos where people use horses ro do these things, cut hay, sow, plough etc. it’s amazing to,see the horses, the way they know their job and do it so well, and the teamwork between the human and horses . Awesome.
Straight alfalfa is hard on their kidneys is why so many say no alfalfa. It almost killed a horse where my stepfather used to work.So pay close attention. Love how far you have come since your visit with HPHS. I'm so glad you stuck to it and learned and grew for all those precious animals you are rescuing. Thanks for all that hard work that you and all your volunteers and family continue to do.
Pauli, der Rodeo Schmied. Er macht einen unglaublich guten Job.!!!! Und ein riesen Kompliment an Nate, wie er dich Cindy unterstützt!!! Ich ziehe meinen Hut. Und Nate, die Traktoren sehen super cool aus. Wie neu. Toll 😊
54:01 this guy cares so much, thinking ahead for this horses feet, decent farrier & owner who will do the right thing for the horse, top man! 💥PAULY NEEDS TO WEAR A BACK SUPPORT like I see so many farriers wear!💥
But then you can't just take in a rescue horse and expect that horse to stand still. It takes time (and patience) to re-train a horse to pick up its feet and be comfortable with it, and some horses are in pain, difficult to stand for them. It just takes time, and a patient farrier who doesn't get upset.
A huge pet peeve of mine is when a handler is supposed to be holding and having control of the horse - stands with 4 to 6 foot of rope between them and the horse's head. There is no control. Therefore, it makes a fairier's job. A 100% harder to achieve a good balanced hoof !!! Poor Pauly - love you Bud. I feel you're paying been there, done that.
hurray a farrier time ,love that to learn. I got one tb dif icult giving his feet and I can only do a few rasps at a time and I got on stb and he lifts his foot before I touch him, so I know both sides. Respect to any farrier that does more than one horse a day, lol I do think to keep Pauly hole and up, the last ponies needed sedation, too dangerous
Hearing what’s deliberately done to horses like walkers annoys me so much. I’m wondering how arthritic they end up being, poor beasties. Hubby is retired mounted police and has the utmost fir a good farrier so I knew farrier work could be dangerous but this really drove the danger aspect home. It also made me really appreciate the skill involved. Poor horses…I have a lot of pain in my feet so I really feel for those with foot and knee pain. It’s inexcusable. Maybe Paul could make me some shoes, lol, but I need a lot of padding. Mostly I go shoeless!
You can not possibly pay your farrier enough for what he does for these horses! ❤
He needs his own TH-cam channel.
Sometimes he even does some jobs for free! Like when a supporter was going to pay for a few horses to be casted, he gave them a rough estimate just for the materials and process, and didn't seem to include his own time and struggles that would normally be there.
That is one patient farrier. My farrier would tell me to get a trainer and wouldn’t come back until I did. I do understand these are rescues. You have a gem of a farrier.
But at the same time, these horses act up because they are in pain, caused by bad hooves.
Do we really want a trainer to teach these horses to ignore their pain and be good behaving horses no matter what?
Poor Pauly had a tough job today, but I love hearing him explain how to care for these horses. He’s a great farrier and does a great job.
Definitely, especially since a lot of even good farriers will either not work with drafts period, not work with "troubled," or "problem," horses period or specifically problem drafts.. meaning any farrier that's willing to work with problem horses especially drafts is a miracle to anyone even more so a rescue or sanctuary. 👏
I loved that he had an offer for a spa day. I think a chiropractor on the regular would serve him well too.
Ouch!
I have plan to say him something.. He is great and i like him a lot❣
@Reptile_Gecko So many of your animals are not used to being handled, some having been ignored for years. Paulie should be getting combat pay! Farriers are rather costly, aren't they?
Nate is the hardest working man on the farm. All while keeping calm and humble. God Bess him..❤
We agree!
Your farrier is a gem. It is great he is getting admired by all your watchers. It is good to see content that shows the backgroud to keeping a rescue running
Paully has a great heart. I've seen him hang around to help with tasks that most farriers would run away from, saying "I don't paid for that, so I'm outta here!" And he does some jobs for cost, just to help the poor horse.
Pauly does so well with all the problems thrown at him. please tell him how much he is appreciated.
We always do!
Paulie is a saint for trying to help these horses when owners failed them miserably.
Poor Pauly, he looks like he's in a lot of pain.
He doesn't usually lose his patience with unruly horses, and when he does, there is a good reason.
Nate knows that clean and shiny does make a tractor work better. Its great to see him take such good care of the farm equipment.
Love your videos - keep up the great work you all do!❤❤❤❤
Pauly you're a damn saint. These horses and rescue are so unbelievably lucky to have you. You're doing the work that the original owners of these horses should have done long ago. I would love to have you guys do a video with Pauly explaining how you can teach your horses at home to stand well with respect.

But it is interesting to see how Paulie does it without drugs. That Espresso, despite needing to be lassoed stood nicely for trim is amazing. She seems to know trims are nice at least.
I had a Toffee in my life. She turned out to be a 1 person horse and lived to be 31. Our farrier was never able to trim her back feet. God love Pauly!
Always so amazing to see Pauly work! Gotta gentle those wild ones down and save a farrier!
Wow, Pauly is one tough guy. His videos are so informative and helps us all understand how important a competent, compassionate, and knowledgeable farrier is. I applauded his commitment and dedication to these rescued horses, mules, and minis. You are very lucky to have him.
We agree!
Ya'lls Farrier is amazing - His knowledge is so inspiring- I have learned so much from him - wonderful man🌹🙏🌹💖🌹
Oh Pauly, I really hope you are doing ok! It‘s such a hard job. And like others commented - there aren‘t many farriers that even work with rescue horses!

Nate the ultimate handyman, hardly any man around like him anymore. CINDY YOU HAVE GOT A KEEPER BECAUSE HE IS A REAL MANS MAN.
I am now Pauly's biggest fan, Mad props to that dude.
I love your ferrier!!! He gets an A+ for his expertise and caring for each individual babe!!!❤🐎❤ That poor horse! SMDH!!!!😳😳😡😡😡
😂😂😂😂
Nate needs his own channel to teach which "hammer" to use!
Love Nate
Love seeing Nate he provides essential services that often get overlooked, so thank you for everything you do that we don’t see
Pauly. Thank you, your knowledge, care and dedication will improve there lives even if they are not thankful of your work at the time
Pauley is a real star of this channel he’s funny but tough and also compassionate too.
Before Pauley even started, it was apparent he was trying to overcome the pain. Then he had horses that wouldn’t cooperate & ones that actively were kicking. That is back-breaking work to start with. I hope he isn’t too bruised up & gets some pain relief.
I love how nate keeps the farm equipment pretty!! She may be past her years, but the new paint makes her look new and shiny!!❤❤❤
So much respect for y’all! Nate with his fix it skills! All you beautiful ladies with yours! And Pauly, wow you da man!! Much respect!!
I can remember my mother saying the wheel fell off the wagon, so I painted it purple, and it worked just fine!" She was a welder during WWII here in the shipyards in Ontario, Canada!
So, I fully appreciate Nate's inner need!
Omg don’t you just love Nate he is so patient and just quietly gets on with things fixes machines that we would have no idea where to start and just walk away from 🙈🙈🙈
Wow, some really grumpy horses today. Poor Pauly. . .
I have a whole new level of respect for farriers after this. It's an incredibly tough job!
Intense episode but so informative!!! 🖒 I learned more about horses!!! 🐎😊 Pauly is amazing!!! Always learn from him!! Nice to see his brother learning from the best!! Blessings to you for what you do!!! 🙏💕

It’s so sad that the previous owners didn’t do their jobs properly and teach these horses how to behave and show them that most humans only have their best interests in mind.
I love Pauly when he gets fed up with a horse acting stupid, unconventional for this day and age but necessary and ppl don't understand this. 1:23:25
Pauly, you are incredible!! Hope you have some good muscle relaxers and maybe a stiff drink... Not together... Love watching you work and explain. Nate put in a full day too!
💗🏆💗🏆💗🏆💗🏆💗🏆💗
HATS OFF to all you out there trying to deal with those head cases on a daily basis! Stay safe, & thank you!
Love watching your videos, it’s just a little to much field and tractor stuff 😂 I wanna see the horses❤ Pauly is freaking amazing with them🫶
Haha! We totally get it but we try to keep our videos as personal as we can so everybody feels a part of the team, even when they are not here. Tractors and fields come with it all! :) Thank you for watching and supporting us!
@@PonyTalesRefuge understandable ❤️
Nate running the last pass on that yummy alfalfa is a beautiful video.
Pauly is amazing we need more like him.
More Pauly! He is a exceptional farrier and always keeps the horses welfare in mind before anything else! He is so informative and clear about all he does. He is just amazing with the animals and really works to get every horse’s hooves healthy! We Love him because he goes the extra mile!

Like any farm mechanic Nate has a different 'hammer' for every job!
You know what else what's nice about Donkeys, is they are awesome protectors!😊😊😊
I think building some sturdy padded stocks for the horses to stand in would help Paulie and the horse.
We have a stock but it is currently under construction! Stock are also mainly for Draft horses as most of the ones we did in this video would be too small for it! :)
Yeah, they should have gotten one of those that they use for cattle, especially for the wild ones.
Or Pauly should get a go found me to have one to pull around with him, would save his back.

Great video love the tractors love the alfalfa mowing always learning from the farrier you're getting really good at filmmaking it's always real.❤❤❤
For those who think some of the treatment is too harsh when helping these inexperienced horses. Theyare a danger to themselves and others. That CANNOT be continued. They sometimes have to have
crash tests. These will remember not only the start
the results of these experiences. From fear and
anger to realization of that they are ok. You
must understand what could happen to these horses if allowed to stay a threat to themselves and others. End of life. Difficult choices sometimes have to
be made.
Yes Betty, you're right. Among the viewers who are inexperienced or only a bit experienced with caring for horses throughout their whole life cycle, there is a trend lately to overreact to things that they think might cause a bit of discomfort to the horse. If it were possible to remove all discomfort, we would, but it isn't always possible.
The trend is a direct result of 2 TH-cam horse personalities, RaleighLink and Think Like A Horse. They both make a living by criticizing other horse people. Most of it is caused by RaleighLink, because she is a very attractive young woman in her early 20s, who the female teenagers and teeny boppers all really relate to, and they want to be just like her. She has had her TH-cam channel for 10 years, and she has a heavy emphasis on preventing cruelty to horses, which of course is wonderful.
But the problem is that she has become extremely arrogant. The adoration of her audience has really gone to her head. And it is adoration of the kind that only teenaged girls and very young women are capable of, verging on fanaticism. She is, or claims to be, a veterinary student. She also claims to have been a riding teacher, horse trainer, barn manager, and all around expert. But a 24 yr old person can't possibly be an expert at all those things, as she claims. It just isn't possible! And go to university at the same time as achieving all of that? I'm sorry. But it just ain't true. You can't even be an expert in 1 of them by age 24, no matter when you started riding.
She has done a lot of good work for horses. So it's such a shame that it's become a project focused on building her own ego! She reviews and reacts to videos the audience finds and sends her, with no context at all for them. Some of them are fair evaluations, but if she has a fight with her new husband or something, LOOK OUT! You do not want to be the subject of her review!
Her commentary is sometimes too soft, and at other times it's just nitpicking, but it's often combined with vindictiveness of the very worst kind. Extreme viciousness and outright lies are now a part of her shtick. (Shtick means a style a person uses on stage to stand out from the others.) Even criticisms that are legitimate are put across in the worst possible way. To remain objective she should keep the personal insults and lies out of it. I'm really shocked that she hasn't been sued yet!
But the teenagers and teeny boppers that are so in love with her, and see her as their idol, think it's cool to try and emulate her. So they go all over the horse channels claiming that they see abuse when they just don't understand the circumstances, or the fact that places like family farms and rescues are not always able to create the fantasy of a perfect world, where they have all the knowledge in the world, and access to the best facilities, supplies, equipment, and experts 24/7. They are expecting the perfection that Raleigh seems to demand, so they can be too harsh and judgemental. It should be obvious to anyone that even Raleigh herself can't create this perfect world for her own horse.
Of course cruelty is abhorent! So is neglect. And people do need to be educated that their gaps in knowledge can create great harm to these wonderful, majestic animals! But the critics need to include some realism. If a person or group is trying their best to help, and somebody attacked them as viciously as Raliegh and Think Like A Horse do, they would devasted! Heartbroken! Does that help the situation?
A lot of her criticism is well placed. And a lot of the information she provides is very important. It's usually explained well, including diagrams of horse anatomy etc. Even some of the very harsh criticism is very well placed. Her channel could be such a great resource! But the videos where she goes nuts on someone without knowing any of the facts, and imputing nefarious motives to people who are just doing their best, have become too common for my liking. But her audience just love it, and she knows that. The attack videos get more views, and she gets more praise from her sychophants for them. They're more exciting.
Think Like A Horse uses the same reasoning exactly. Or is it just an excuse for these frustrated, immature people to take out their frustrations on somebody else? He (name unknown) is even more vicious at times, and he seems to hate minorities, especially women. He even yells and screams at times, just full of hatred and anger. But he doesn't have as much of a following among the young aspiring women.
I'm not saying there is no place for activism regarding horse welfare. On the contrary, there should be more of it! But it needs to have a conscience that those 2 channels don't have. You can see the arrogance from Raleigh's opening. Her videos always start with "Hay Bitch!" Who do you think that's directed to? Of course, it's aimed at teenagers who will think it's edgy and funny. It got a laugh out of me too. But it got old really fast. She's definately pandering to teenaged wannabes. A few have horses, and many are older than that, like I am, but the most dedicated ones who try to be like her are the immature kids, and it's them who go around with heavy criticism of anything or everything, and no understanding of the realities involved.
They need to grow up. I know they leave comments, but I hope they also read comments. And if they truly do want to learn about horses, I hope they watch a wide variety of videos. And I hope they read books too, as old fashioned as that may seem.
I'm so tired of the people on YT, in every kind of group, who think that they're an expert after watching 5 or 6 videos. What a ridiculous idea! It takes many years of both hands-on experience and a lot of studying to become an expert at anything! For most of us, including the real experts (which I am not) the more we learn, the more we realize that we have so much MORE to learn. And that instead of criticizing others, we should try to be better ourselves, and kinder to both horses and people.
Here's hoping that Raleigh, Think Like A Horse, and their audiences all grow up. That keep their love of horses, and start to have some balance. That they incorporate reality into their world view. I know it's more pleasant living in a bubble, and I'm as guilty as the next person for wanting to hang onto mine, but we all have to grow up, and to wake up, many times in our lives. It's time for them to grow up and see what harm is being caused by this random spreading of anger, just because the channel owner had a bad day.
Criticism is ok if it's given in proportion to the transgression. An eye for an eye, or a tooth for a tooth is ok. But not a kidney for a toenail, a lung for a peice of hair, an eye for an eyelash, an arm for a fingertip! They need to realize these are real people that are being targetted, sometimes very unfairly. Not always, but sometimes. And that's just as cruel as the abuse they claim to be fighting.
Pauly shouldn't be the one training these horses in the first place. This isn't a positive experience for these horses. They haven't learned anything good from this. This should have been done well before he had to work with them. Or they should be sedated. Putting your farrier in constant danger like this is just stupid. Especially when it can easily be avoided with some basic horsemanship.
Yes, Pauly know what he's doing, but he shouldn't be put in the position to have to fix all this BS.
@@saraanderson8858 I have to agree entirely on this! There are many times that I've really wondered who on earth is running this barn? Often I have thought that no planning or experience at all was involved in a task. Some were big and some were small. And of course we all make mistakes, but zeezus, sometimes I think none of the ones on screen have ever worked with horses before, and who on earth allowed them to do these tasks this way? Is there no preplanning at all in this barn?
Paula is a Gem of a farrier! Definitely top notch!
He dose a wonderful job
I love that Pauly takes the time to look at the horse and evaluate what they need.
I love the way Garfield just showed up one day, moved himself in and that was that. He understands his role as mouser and love bug. It's just perfect. ❤
I'll just add another Poor Paulie to the list. I hope he gets the opportunity to heal that back. And Knee. And whatever else got hurt during this last visit.
And I'm so glad that you guys have the means of getting the hay you need. I wish that more rescues had that ability.
After reading through the comments, I have some thoughts: Pauly is neither held hostage at Pony Tales, nor does he need babysitting. If he was uncomfortable with working with rescue horses, he wouldn't be working with rescue horses. And from watching his no-nonsense, straightforward attitude, I'm pretty sure he's going to say it when he knows he can't handle a horse.
Also, correct me if I'm wrong, I have the feeling that often these rescues have such bad feet that waiting until they're ready to be trained could risk serious and lasting injury to the animal.
Pauly probably doesn't just go in to work on difficult horses just for a hoot.
Couldn't have said it better ourselves!
Love watching your farrier work he explains everything and is very knowledgeable great video person as well
Pauly I know that you Really hurt. The horse needs to be worked with and gentlele first as you know. I know that it will take time and hopefully she/he has a short memory about the last trimming. It will get done eventually. May your back heal quickly because YOU ARE THESE HORSES LAST CHANCE to having a good set of feet and best of all comfort.
ALSO CINDY YOU HAVE A GOOD MAN!! JUST REMEMBER keep his stomach full have good &cold beer at days end and never go to bed mad. Laugh with each other every day and you will make it.
Pauly is one of the highlights of the channel for me. I liked listening to him teach his brother. He's a real gem. It's good to learn
utmost admiration for the help you're willing to provide for these mostly badly handled n uncared for horses before they came to the refuge. i've had quite a few stints over the years working with racehorses, both young n old in NZ...incredibly well educated types. most farriers dont have the balls to help out with the types of horses you do. much respect.
Poor Pauly probably needs to spend the rest of the week horizontal after these guys!
You guys have got one incredible Thérier does a really great job
I'm glad you found a place for you to go and be adopted in that I got to keep his nuts and bolts.
Love your Johnson American bulldog ❤ I have owned them for 15 years now the best breed 👍
Poor Paulie. Who’d want to be a farrier, on days like this x
Glad you were able to save the donkey. Let him work❤❤❤
You are brave people 😯 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Awesome how pauly is teaching
One binge later, I am finally caught up to the tundra tales!
Haha!! Whoop!
My first time seeing grass and Alfalfa before it was baled! Thanks for sharing!!
In the beginning of my horse career I trained Standards for racing, I'd do it again tomorrow. I never had any as tall as the two I've seen with PTR but they are beautiful!
Hard job and dangerous with some terrified horses...😮 Must be confident and courageous to work with sauvage animals 😊
Ouoooooo that tool sounded like the dentist at the end!
I totally cringed bad😅!
Goodness some of these horses are so dramatic about their feet, Pauly merely looks at a hoof and they think he's trying to kill them! I know some will be reacting out of trauma and obviously they'll probably have good reasons to be scared. Though for some I think it is just dramatics XD
Loved all the farrier stuff! ❤
Another well done episode. I know that you do not want advice about how to handle the horses. But maybe you can consider using a lick to help Paulie with the difficult horses? The horses that Steve Young sees all love Horslyx, the original flavor. I hate to see Paulie getting bashed around.
I painted a tractor Metallic Purple Once with hand done Gold detailing..... It was beautiful when we were done.....
An you imagine cutting that hay with a team of horses, not a tractor? I’ve seen some TH-cam videos where people use horses ro do these things, cut hay, sow, plough etc. it’s amazing to,see the horses, the way they know their job and do it so well, and the teamwork between the human and horses . Awesome.
Straight alfalfa is hard on their kidneys is why so many say no alfalfa. It almost killed a horse where my stepfather used to work.So pay close attention. Love how far you have come since your visit with HPHS. I'm so glad you stuck to it and learned and grew for all those precious animals you are rescuing. Thanks for all that hard work that you and all your volunteers and family continue to do.
Very interesting information thankyou Ann i love horses anf wush them well
The horse hoof whisperer … Pauley. ❤❤
Your ferried is the best👍🇺🇸🍀
We agree!
What hard working men with nate and pauly. Love your videos🎉❤
He’s awesome!
Poor Pauly, I hope he has access to a jacuzzi for his back! Oh these sassy brats
Pauli, der Rodeo Schmied. Er macht einen unglaublich guten Job.!!!!
Und ein riesen Kompliment an Nate, wie er dich Cindy unterstützt!!! Ich ziehe meinen Hut. Und Nate, die Traktoren sehen super cool aus. Wie neu. Toll 😊
54:01 this guy cares so much, thinking ahead for this horses feet, decent farrier & owner who will do the right thing for the horse, top man!
💥PAULY NEEDS TO WEAR A BACK SUPPORT like I see so many farriers wear!💥
Hello from Western Maryland 😁👍✌
Hello!
Loved the longer video format!
Whatever they are paying this farrier it is not enough. This is why some horses end up on a kill truck. No training, no proper care... what a mess.
But then you can't just take in a rescue horse and expect that horse to stand still. It takes time (and patience) to re-train a horse to pick up its feet and be comfortable with it, and some horses are in pain, difficult to stand for them. It just takes time, and a patient farrier who doesn't get upset.
A huge pet peeve of mine is when a handler is supposed to be holding and having control of the horse - stands with 4 to 6 foot of rope between them and the horse's head. There is no control. Therefore, it makes a fairier's job. A 100% harder to achieve a good balanced hoof !!! Poor Pauly - love you Bud. I feel you're paying been there, done that.
Ooff! I have Baklava the Hackney, and I thought she was sensitive. That hackney at the end😅
hurray a farrier time ,love that to learn. I got one tb dif icult giving his feet and I can only do a few rasps at a time and I got on stb and he lifts his foot before I touch him, so I know both sides. Respect to any farrier that does more than one horse a day, lol I do think to keep Pauly hole and up, the last ponies needed sedation, too dangerous
Hearing what’s deliberately done to horses like walkers annoys me so much. I’m wondering how arthritic they end up being, poor beasties. Hubby is retired mounted police and has the utmost fir a good farrier so I knew farrier work could be dangerous but this really drove the danger aspect home. It also made me really appreciate the skill involved. Poor horses…I have a lot of pain in my feet so I really feel for those with foot and knee pain. It’s inexcusable. Maybe Paul could make me some shoes, lol, but I need a lot of padding. Mostly I go shoeless!
