Really good to see you work on those hooves. Just curious, but do you have to sterilise your tools after working on hooves with thrush like that? Can it be passed on to another horse or is it just from the hooves being wet for too long that it grows?
thanks for explaining what thrush is. i'm not a horse guy, you have mentioned thrush before, but never gave a complete answer. i like watching your videos.
@@isaTthrush is a fungal infection called candida caused by an in balance of bacteria, it loves warm damp environments. Babies get it in their mouths, women and men in their nether regions, and horses in their frogs.
She is the most beautiful paint that I have ever seen!! I really wish one day I can see another one just like this in person. I totally respect and appreciate for all that you do for the horses. Thank you so much.❤😊🐴
You are doing an amazing job for these horses. You really seem to know exactly what you are doing, and if unsure you seek the advise from other professionals to get the job done. It shows that you truly care about each and every horse you work on. Keep up the great work! Good Farriers are hard to find 😊😊😊
I love it when you explain to us the details of what you were doing the before and then the after pictures of the horses and walk away because it’s give us a view of what they would like and now they have a relief of the pain
Question: Since thrush is anaerobic, wouldn't applying the impression material, then covering the frog with a shoe cause a lack of oxygen that actually allows the thrush to continue? I have a mare, she's barefoot and has thrush and a central sulcus infection. We had a wet and miserable winter here in New England, and I've been battling her thrush for months. I can't stall her because she kicks the stall walls and has damaged her hooves before, even with stall mats on the walls, so she's in a dry lot , (its finally dry here) with free access to a run in. I use the copper granules as a dusting after her foot has been picked and then soaked for 5-10 minutes in chlorhexidine. I've tried creams (human) that treat fungal and bacterial infections pressed into the frog, then covered by the copper granules. It's taking forever to clear up! My vet said to continue the chlorhexidine soaks, but to also use Today, or Tomorrow, a mastitis treatment for cows that I haven't tried yet. What is your suggestion?
Hi , watching from Montreal , Canada 🇨🇦 , this is extremely physical work 😮😮 I see your hands which is very young and listening to the mature voice and the way you take the time to explain everything makes me think you must be over 40 yrs old based on voice but I’m sure you are much younger than that , anyways great work , I don’t know anything about horses and the trimming they need which brings me to this question , what about the wild horses since no body takes care of them , what happens when their hoof grows as shown in some videos they are under pressure and pain ??? Thanks for the videos as they are very educational for me and learn about horses too , much love from Canada 🇨🇦
Wild horses maintain their hooves by moving long distances, 20 to 40 miles (30 to 60 km) a day, over rough terrains. This keeps their hooves healthy by building hard hooves that do not need shoeing and wearing down (trimming) the hoof, which prevents overgrowth.
Recently discovered your channel. Excellent work. I’m now in total awe of the generations that used horses exclusively. I imagine the tools and techniques have progressively improved over the decades?
I am really loving this horse-shoeing, cleaning, blacksmithing stuff! The horses are so beautiful. You are brilliant and I love that I learn something from each video. I'm going to research this field because it's astounding that horse hooves are a diagnosible concern. Who thought of it? How and why? How has it evolved? When was the first horse shoed? Thank you so much for sharing.
I love your videos! When I was in high school, a long time ago..I went with our local farrier, as his assistant... your videos remind me of those wonderful times, but it would seem that the science and art of horseshoeing has developed far beyond what I remember! so fascinating, keep up the good work caring for those wonderful horses..
Wow! I Love this video! You explain everything so well! Im not a horse gal, but ive seen my friend's horses get trimmed twice but i was too shy to ask questions or say anything 😅 im hoping to learn to ride this summer though 😊
I had horses at one time. I was always there for the farrier. I really liked watching them shoe my horse and also I paid them when they were finished. My farrier taught me a lot about trimming horses. He also showed me what to do if my horse loosened a shoe until he could get there to reset it.
Always love your videos, lots of information great audio and video, keep up the great work. Ps: have you heard about the oil for thrush it's call Cool Oil, kills thrush, I have been using it on a daily basis, then 2/3 days a week to stay thrush free, please mention it in your videos what you think.

Lovely Screwbald Paint mare (Piebald means Black & White Paint/Pinto Screwbald means any Other color & White in case you're scratching your head wondering what I'm referring to).
Thank you for sharing the explanation. I have loved horses, but not had much contact with them for various reasons. I like learning more about them, but riding isn't an option. Take care 😊.
Caleb, would you ever wear gloves? I get it that you need to feel the hoof and the smoothness etc...but for the rough initial work? I worry about your hands getting cut/damaged. I am new to this channel and know very little about horse but find your skills fascinating. Thank you :)
Friend visiting and I open my kitchen cabinet and he said “why do you have a farriers rasp??”, well another friend a farrier forgot it when moved to GA. 🤷🏽♀️🤷🏽♀️
Cal..are there any classroom portions of your training? or is it all OJY with your mentor? and could your explain segments of your training up to your accrediatation plz..e.g. is there a 'school' and tuition? are there unions?...are there log books of labor/jobs performed? do you need to accrue so many hours before you are licensed? lotta questions but inquiring minds would like to know..thx
Great video. Just wondering - How many times have you accidentally singed the 'Family Jewels' pressing a red hot horse shoe on a hoof clasped between the legs?
He mentioned that the "black stuff" was thrush, several times in the video and that it was a fungal infection that is treated with copper sulfate. You might try Google to help you with some of the words that you aren't familiar with. 😊
U said in the video at 4:50 that nature doesn’t have any hard sharp angles as a rule! What about spiky mountains like the grand Tetons ? Or Knifes edge on mt Katahdin Maine and Colorado?
How much does a farrier cost not how much do you charge just an average cost for a farrier. I know Clydesdales would cost more which is reasonable average horse or a donkey what would the charge be for shooting them? And I'm mainly asking because this horse they brought them in late other horses end up with feet that are crazy. I mean it can't be because of cost every time. And you say 6 to 7 weeks average. I mean I know it can't be cheap to do horses and depending on how many horses you have because the farrier has a very hard job. And that's a job I'm very thankful for since people want to own horses knowing that it's an expensive animal to have.
It's sort of the v-shaped part near the back center of the hoof that is a softer material that's sort of like the pad of the finger, it's the horse's shocks, and it takes the weight and the rebound of the horse.
What is the approximate cost of your services? I'd like to eventually help with the costs of caring for some horses to show horses that people can be benevolent towards their needs.
@@lilypina9073 No!! It is indeed bacterial, usually cause by Fusobacterium necrophorum. Fungus can sometimes occur as a secondary infection, but it doesn't cause it.

I was a manicurist and acrylic nail tech. Theory is the same as for humans! Beautiful ❤️
Always interesting and educational, Caleb. but . . . no nail polish? LOL

I agree with you! Her markings are amazing!
I'm just amazed at how difficult your job is. You must need alot of training to be a good ferrier incredible. Horses hooves are everything to them. .

Great video. Just wondering - How many times have you accidentally singed the 'Family Jewels' pressing a red hot horse shoe on a hoof clasped between the legs?
Does having the holes from the previous nails make the hoof more prone to cracking?
Are the discoloration around the nail holes just from the metal?
How come it's so dark on the frog. It just doesn't look good. What can you do to make it look better
He mentioned that the "black stuff" was thrush, several times in the video and that it was a fungal infection that is treated with copper sulfate. You might try Google to help you with some of the words that you aren't familiar with. 😊
@@judithburke1539 Excellent idea! Amazing what info you can find...
Could you use salicylic acid powder, or would that harden the hoof too much?
I noticed you drove 4 nails per side and only crimped 3. Did you pull the 4th nail?
❤❤❤
So, "thrush," is, 🦠🦠 bacterial, & not, fungal? I thought it was a, yeast infection?
You’re thinking of thrush in humans, which is indeed a yeast infection. Thrush on a horses hoof is a bacteria
U said in the video at 4:50 that nature doesn’t have any hard sharp angles as a rule! What about spiky mountains like the grand Tetons ? Or Knifes edge on mt Katahdin Maine and Colorado?
Or crystals.... I think he means in general for living organisms.
Even those mountains when you get up close have rounded corners and edges and are strictly straight. But there are exceptions to every rule
👌🐴
Is it better to shoe a horse, or are there times when it is better to let them go without?
Really depends on the horse and what they do you have to approach them as an individual
Isnt Thrush caused by a fungus?
what happens to old nail holes
Where can I get copper granuals?
Yikes. Ty
Darn smell lingers on long after you leave the darn shed

Probably foot with negative bone Angle ,low cut at the tip and long breakover point😢
What is the frog?
It's sort of the v-shaped part near the back center of the hoof that is a softer material that's sort of like the pad of the finger, it's the horse's shocks, and it takes the weight and the rebound of the horse.
im early today! yayy
Your hands look cold Caleb
Isn't thrush fungal not bacterial?
No Hail in winter. sleet.
You need gloves! Gnarly scar on your arm. Tough , back breaking work!
Yikes.

I thought thrush was a fungus. I will have to remember it's an anorobic bacteria 🦠
It is a fungus. It IS NOT a bacteria of any kind. Now, hooves may grow some anaerobic bacteria but thrush is a fungus.
