That was some incredible diagnosis and work. I went to Oklahoma Horseshoeing School back in the 1980s and learned a lot. One thing I definitely learned is there is no substitute for doing the work, caring for the horse, perfecting the shoe placement and forge work, and definitely fine tuning the shoe through know how and hard work. You're a masterful farrier and your vet work on this horse is to be admired. You care about your job/calling and you are a master horseshoer. Thank you.
I'm a medical doctor. Don't own horses. I have ridden one or two times in my life. Despite all that, I can't get enough of horseshoeing videos. This is fantastic craftsmanship
I agree. I'm also not a horse person but an animal lover and it's so gratifying to see such excellent craftsmanship done for the wellbeing of horses. 👍
I once bought an ex logging horse who had heels like this on both front feet. It took months of remedial work and care to return him to health. I appreciate your fabulous work. Much respect.

@jeanday9747 most horses are chill when it comes to handling, if they have been trained/handled correctly. This horse is probably well used to getting his feet worked on.
You were so gentle with this horse. It looked as if the horse was happy you were taking care of it. Great job! I hope the hoof heals well and no other problems arises.
Thank you for explaining what you're doing! I work at a horse sanctuary, and rarely have the opportunity to ask our ferrier in-depth questions. Watching you make the shoe from scratch was incredibly cool. Some of our horses have similar shoes to help manage their laminitis, so seeing how a skilled worker fabricated it was special.
I love your craft. As an RN I can't get enough of your tough cases. How are your hands so clean and your nails so perfect? Very impressive on so many levels!
Kudos to all farriers! Their work is extremely physically taxing, and they care for our horses well by educating themselves with training and experience. I admire them.
Got to be one of the best farriers I've seen. Top notch care, skills and gentle. And that horse shoe was incredibly done.. You get a ten out of a ten...
That was very interesting. I’ve heard of these heel cracks but never seen one before. Fortunately none of my horses have ever had any injuries or problems with their feet except a poor old soul I rescued. He had foundered but we managed to fix him up and for now he’s just enjoying his twilight years in the fields with my other horses. I hope his feet continue to behave for at least a few more years so he can enjoy just being a horse.
Fabulous to watch this man…his care + expertise as he treated this horse with such dignified gentle care is humbling. Thank you for sharing your remarkable work. 🐎
I haven’t had horses for many years but I always find it fascinating how the horses feet work and how this will help them to be balanced. Excellent video.
As the possessor of troublesome painful feet my heart goes out to the poor horses, and my gratitude to the extraordinary knowledge and care as well as the sympathetic kindness of the farrier .
These guys in Idaho are some of the very best in the profession if not the best. Not to deny there are many great ferriers out there. I just like to watch their diagnosis followed by their customized shoes made to perfection as they hammer out from memory the hoof shape. It impresses me because I know I couldn't get it right in a week or longer😒. Anyhow, keep up the fantastic work out there and keep them ponies trottin' 🧲🐎 ... Kudos from the mountains of NC!!!
This is my new favorite video on this channel! I love the explanations of what is being done and why, love seeing the horse, too! And as always I love love watching the metal working! 🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌
You know, I think that's the cleanest, freshest pair of hoof trimmers I've ever seen in my entire life. All the ones I've ever seen from memory were old, dark, and slightly rusted from lack of use.
I have no reason to watch this video but came across it…… WOW INCREDIBLE WORK! Who ever learns this man’s ways will learn something very special. This is talent!
You can always tell how well kept and cared for a horse is by the quality of the work done on his hoofs, and If I were to ever own a horse I would want this quality of work done on him/her. THe hoof is perfectly shaped and to have custom shoes made right on the spot for the animal's needs based upon the condition and health of the hooves is the only way to go. Something about the look of a horse whose hooves are clean, perfectly shaped and smooth, like brand new tires and rims on your well kept off road truck! Well done! I bet all the other horses in the barn are all jealous now over the custom shoe this horse has for his sore foot! LOL
This was my first time ever seeing a horseshoe being made. I thought you got them already made. I’m very impressed. That farrier has impressive skills 👍👍
Most horseshoes are bought already made. They come in a selection of sizes. The ferrier has to shape them to fit a horse’s foot. Some ferriers use a forge and heat the shoes to fit them, but many ferriers will adjust the fit cold. What we saw here is non-typical. A bar shoe like this is equivalent to a custom made orthotic. Shoes like this are a one-off in order to reinforce a foot that needs additional structural support.
My friend your work is so impressive, everything I watch you work I learn something . You are going to be the best vet ever you pay so much attention to the issue at hand thank you for being you
That horse is absolutely beautiful. When you were sitting her hoof down at about the 4:00 mark, she looked almost mystical....like something out of a storybook. So fun to watch you work on these horses in need. Really, really talented.
This can also occur due to contracted heels due to improper trimming. If the lateral bar wall is scraped thin, it causes a weakness in those bars, which are like metal stanchions in engineering, which hold the heels out. When they become thin and weak, they can no longer do their job, so the heels curl inwards squeezing the frog which then inverts, causing this injury. Contracted heels can be dangerous as it can damage the cartilage, which is called sheared heels. This can end the career and life of a horse.
I thought immediately that it needed copper sulphate before as soon as I saw it. I used to treat severely lame sheep here in the UK with copper sulphate and lard bandaged onto the foot. It really works.
Bravo, Bravo!!! Y'all are truly champs for all horses!!! Wish we had some in the South! Not sure if we have any! But, just absolutely appreciate your excellence!!❤👏👏👏👏🙏🙏🤗
Every time I watch one of your videos, I'm thoroughly amazed by your craftsmanship! My farrier only uses pre-made shoes, so I don't ever get to watch a horse shoe being made basically from scratch on the spot. Absolutely awesome work!
Ah you did a awesome job and the horse was just as calm, I think it knew that you was helping it,that's just really a beautiful thing to see💗 keep up the good work💪
The shoe is a work of art, especially since it was created by hammering white-hot metal unaided by any machines. And the horse seemed incredibly cooperative.
@@pixie706 también me he preguntado alguna vez si les darán algún sedante suave para que estén calmados durante el calzado, aunque la mayoría de caballos agradecen la manicura, muchos te dan la pata. Acabo de leer que, "en ocasiones" se seda a los caballos difíciles, pero esto tiene sus pros y sus contra; si estando sedado reacciona (se asusta, etc) esta reacción puede ser más violenta de lo habitual
Its awesome seeing a man doing Gods work to help heal a majestic animal that other wise would more than likely turn lame without his intervention. Thank you for helping this animal and teaching future Farriers that will be able to learn how to keep Horses hooves in great shape! Fantastic work.
Thank you, Sir, for sharing your skills and work with us. Your skills are obvious and there for all to see. All the people you work for should feel proud to have you. Best wishes.
Wow you are definitely a farrier at the top of your profession. I have multiple farriers over the years and I can honestly say that only a couple were as experienced and professional as you.🤩🤩👏👏🐴🐴🇦🇺🇦🇺
Amazing knowledge and skill to become a master like this. I do appreciate the care you take to complete the job all for what is best for the horses. I applaud you.
Working with these horses daily I fail to see just how the owners don't know the horse needs some help. Keep up the great work you do for these lovely animals.
I know most farriers I’ve worked around in my area know how to smith/forge shoes; they just also regularly reuse the old shoes as much as possible unless it’s not feasible!
i didn't know that shoes were more than just protection from paved roads! i had no idea they could be used as correctional equipment until this channel!
I really enjoyed watching you. I love horses, though, I don't have one. That's probably like alot of people. Keep up the caring factor. It's good to see you do care.
My TB developed a crack just like that after having to stand in deep, sticky, adobe mud from a massive weeklong rainstorm. Where he was at the time there were no box stalls. I too used Kopertox and put him on 3/4" rubber mats under his shelter so that he could escape from the mud at least most of the day. The fissure never completely closed up and disappeared, but he was sound.
I know nothing about horses and less about horses feet but the workmanship and know how of these farriers is just wow and the horses are so cooperative. And custom fit shoes !!!!
Can also pack with medicated cotton ball. Good job with your trim. I have a nice mare who was trimmed with her toe trimmed and heels left long and she had developed clubby feet and contracted heels. Broken over. We are finally getting her straightened out. She is much more cooperative while being ridden. 😊
I am always amazed at your blacksmith talent. I retired from teaching all shop and classroom subjects in high school but one of my favorite "shop" classes was metal shop. I had a five foot tall 16 year old girl many years ago that wanted to learn blacksmithing and welding. She love it' She ended up getting a job at NASSCO Shipbuilting In San Diego. as a welder. I know she would have loved your show.
msn, this is something, what a good little horse. and a perfect toe clip to boot...I sure hope that crack healed up just right. My shoer echos the same about heels...great work.
Beautiful work! Do you think koppertox is better for treating a deep central sulcus infection then a treatment like tomorrow? I’ve always felt koppertox would “burn” an infection like this and tomorrow (if you can get a client to actually treat it) is a better option. Just curious of your thoughts love the channel

Between you and the guy in Scotland who trims cows hoofs can't get enough. Amazing job.

What a chilled horse; he's behaviour is as impressive as the shoeing.. 👌👌
Seriously he's so sweet

It's most likely sedated.
I like your style - no silly music or "Look at me" selfies. The completed shoe fitted to the horse was a work of art. 😊
If you like his work then I recommend you watch Nate the hoof Guy. He's awesome.
I totally agree with you! He's a fine skilled farrier! Very few like him!
You were so gentle with this horse. It looked as if the horse was happy you were taking care of it. Great job! I hope the hoof heals well and no other problems arises.
It's great to to enslave creatures and make them happy.

Wondering the same! He must take great care of those hands.
His hands are part of the tools of his trade and you HAVE to take care of your tools !!!!
In observing the horse’s behavior it seemed that he was very appreciative of the work you were doing. Once again masterful farrier!
What a treat to observe a custom prosthetic/therapeutic shoe created for this affected horse by a master ferrier.Brilliant.

A blacksmith and pedicurist in one. Makes me happy to see the work you do for these horses and other hooved animals.
