I know why 18,000 people watched this in less than 24 hours. Its ASMR for horse folks. No talking makes it very satisfying. Also Gary has an amazing rapport with his clients, some of them are huge animals. Thank you for great content Gary!
I just came across this video, I have watched 2 horseshoe videos so far and its so relaxing. I love how there is no music, only sound. I like the POV. I like how soft the hooves look when you trim them. Very interesting!
OMG!! I just read more into your video description. That list is hilarious. I guess when 88k experts watch you need a list. I’m still laughing. Very funny. I still like #2 the best.
grandpa used to raise and own racing horses, so I saw quite a bit of horseshoeing as a kid. The lady was a bit intimidating, but the horses never minded her at all - she worked with my grandpa's horses for about two decades. Grandpa took good care of them, the oldest was about 25 before he was put down. Love watching your vids, reminds me of the old days.
Gary I really enjoy watching you work!! Something about it is so peaceful. Keep up the great work and great videos!! Happy New Year and all the best!!!
dang it. i clearly watch your vids too often gary. I instantly squeaked "ooo been here before" when i saw the small yard lol. great vid as always. n thanks for leaving in the hind feet trim, sounds daft but i love to see all 4 feet done (weird i know lol)
You wearing the gloves at this super hot oven made me nervous... lol I'm a biochemistry student and always careful around the fire with my gloves at the lab. :) take care
Gary, It would be nice to see a video on your vehicle. I caught enough to think it is a Land Rover Defender with a custom made insert for your forge and tools, I really like your common sense way of taking off old shoes and keeping them as a reference for your new shoes. Great videos, Thanks
Slamalamadingdangdong it’s called a frog. It’s used as a shock absorber and a way to help a horse circulate its blood by pushing blood back up the leg with every step. It’s very sensitive. And you have to be extremely careful when trimming back the excess.
Are they happier after having been shod? My goats hated having their hooves trimmed, but were very happy after having had it done. Same with trimming my dogs nails or giving them a bath.
I dont know anything about horses except that you can ride them. Can the horse feel you cleaning and scraping its hoof? Is it something like a human fingernail? Can you go too deep?
What you can see is the hoof capsule, it encloses the sensitive stuff. So yes you can go too deep, how deep is too deep depends on the thickness of the hoof wall and the sole and this varies from horses to horse.
I absolutely love watching your videos. But I have a dumb question from a non-horse owner. At what point do you decide against reworking the shoes and just tossing them and putting on new ones? Also how do you decide if the horse needs shoes, and if they need a full set or just fronts or just hinds?
shoes are generally put on new, then re-used at the next shoeing if they haven't been too worn down with exercise etc. they don't generally get used 3 times or more. two times is the max my geldings ever had his used anyway lol. full set is usually if the horse is doing more work, on roads a lot etc, fronts only if not doing as much work. hope that helps. if i'm wrong i'll happily let gary say so lol
I shoed my donkey on Saturday. It took hours to do because I need more practice and the donk won't hold still. Plus, it would work better if I was a smaller person, more proportional to the working height off the ground. I put the hind shoes on, then let it graze. Then went back a couple of hours later and put the fore shoes on. The donk acted like it did not like the hammering. She has been a pet and gets her way, but it makes it difficult when she won't stay in one place...…… but, when the car alarm went off and, later, a large black wasp hovered around both of us, she tried to move around quite a bit, understandably.
I've started to wonder how your back condition is, i know its not like every day you do this (or maybe it is) but me hurting my back previously took a toll on me and i dont even do much physical work throughout the day, i wanted to know how your's is after being bent over like this and working for a bit.
excuse me if i’ve asked this before but, what i’d like to know is how can farriers slice of parts of the frog but when i’m picking a horses hoof and accidentally press a bit too hard on the frog they instantly flinch and put their foot down ? let me know :)
Gary Huston no, seriously, cus the frog holds all the nerves and that’s why when you pick out hooves you’re careful not to press too hard on the frog so it doesn’t hurt, right ?
elle I don’t know where you are getting your information but no, the frog doesn’t have any nerves, it is insensitive and protects the sensitive structures beneath. You can beat on it as much as you like just don’t go jabbing a hoof pick down the clefts as this is were the join is at its thinnest and may cause some discomfort.
Gary Huston ah that’s right, sorry i know it doesn’t have nerves, i just thought it had more sensitivity than other parts. my bad, i worded it incorrectly. (edit), i was researching and found this; “the frog likely has a role with proprioception (a horse's awareness of where his feet and body are), with sensitivity a bit like the nerves at the ends of our fingertips” so i guess that was sort of where i was going when i said ‘nerves’
ellie I got taught this when learning as a kid too, I think they just tell you these things to stop kids being stupid and hurting the horse if they do it wrong and then they grow up thinking that and pass it on and so on.
Generally, and I say that because every foot is different, 4 nails in the outside and 3 on the inside. They are placed where ever the foot is good and solid, knowing exactly where that is comes with experience.
Hi I am currently learning blacksmithing and I would like to learn horseshoing after my graduation. And I have question: Is the "forge" (hearth) in your car home made or does it any company instaling in cars ??? Good luck :) Rookie from Czech Republic
Ignite heavy duty nitrile. A little more expensive than normal nitrile gloves but they last really well. I used to go through a couple of pairs per horse of ordinary ones these will do a couple of horses per pair!
@@kirstyd554 it does not answer his question. You can see the nail holes after you burned the shoe on. Its a way to see if the nails will be in the right position.
It’s called the frog, it’s made of the same material as the rest of the foot but less dense so it’s softer. It acts as a cushion, a aid to grip and via other structures within the hoof pumps blood back up the leg.
Victor Gryszkiewicz no it don’t hurt them at all they cant feel anything on there hoof except for the frog but it doesn’t hurt it is like when people get there nails cut it is like that but for horses
It does not hurt the horse unless someone has no idea what they are doing. The part Gary is nailing into has no nerves meaning the horse feels nothing.
Why’s there always this stupid question on these videos? These guys are clearly professionals. They wouldn’t be hurting animals and broadcasting it online. So it’s definitely not hurting the animals. And if it did, they’d have been kicked by the horses! There’s a severe problem with critical thinking for these questions to always pop up.
@@rachaelknight8048 but you seem to have watched these kind of videos multiple times so I thought you'd know better. It's indeed not stupid to ask such question if you're watching it for the first time.

I really enjoy watching your videos. I love the camera mount on the head, gives the viewer the best perspective. You make me want to be a ferrier! lol
Thank you for continuing to post these videos !
Your back must be killing lol 😂 enjoyed the video !

It’s kind of satisfying to watch when you shave the frog
Dude my fucking back hurts watching those videos, hope your back is all good and keep up the good work!
I hope you have a great year Gary! Looking forward to your videos.
I like how you inverted the camera, now I won't get dizzy
Thanks for the video. I love your truck/setup . Youare very good at what you do so efficient.
I found one of your vids on facebook and now im hooked. So relaxing :)
Same here 😅😅
Gary I really enjoy watching you work!! Something about it is so peaceful. Keep up the great work and great videos!! Happy New Year and all the best!!!
New video from the horse manicurist!! Yeay!!
You always do such a wonderful job... never mind the haters... your great
idk why but for me its so satisfying
Gary, I'm a big Brazilian fan. Your job is so hard, but so satisfying. Amazing video, keep doing your beautiful job, my friend.
A Horse Pedi.!!! They always love this.!!! when our horses were shod they always seemed a bit more happy.
Nice Fit. Shoes are the same shape of the foot. Always love your work.
Hi Cody. Gary rocks!!

Already did one back in 2015, th-cam.com/video/sdSi8iZQkMo/w-d-xo.html it's changed a bit since then but only for the better!
Thanks for another great video Gary
It’s not as much dirt on the hooves it’s really satisfying when you scrape it off for some reason keep making more😁😁😁
Funny, I cleaned them before I started the video!
Nice! I love how the views would flip back and forth.
Shadeskast a lot of extra work editing but people seem to like it.
Why do I find this satisfying
For a second there I thought either your skin was orange or the saturation was upped tenfold.
It’s very cold at the moment and my hands suffer a little since my operations..
Just another day at the nail salon 😂😂
Nice video! Even though I haven’t watched it, it’s going to be great!
both you and the horse are professionals
I like the new camera angle!
Like a dream come true almost
Saaame! It's so nice
Now that's some clean work! Also, those horse's hooves are in pristine condition.
Thanks!
I always use to flip my phone upside down lol thank you
Do you have the camera on your head?
It’s always so relaxing to watch this! ☺️ And so satisfying.
yes
I had never seen the underside of a hoof. I had no idea they had soft parts!
Slamalamadingdangdong it’s called a frog. It’s used as a shock absorber and a way to help a horse circulate its blood by pushing blood back up the leg with every step. It’s very sensitive. And you have to be extremely careful when trimming back the excess.
Oh yeah yeah
@@MrArchAngel2543 that trend is so dead but you just made my day
Oh that’s why your in my recommendation ok well great vid really satisfying to watch this
Great video but was wonder why you didn't trim the sole more from the hoof wall. Your frog work is some of the best I've seen.
I only remove what is needed.
Yey, the 💓 is back again :D
Ah made my day
Are they happier after having been shod? My goats hated having their hooves trimmed, but were very happy after having had it done. Same with trimming my dogs nails or giving them a bath.
I think they don’t really know, however, I think they would feel bad if they didn’t have it done and their feet got too long! Difficult to say..
I love your vids. They're so oddly satisfying. I do have a question though: Do you ever get used to the burning hair smell?
Yes, I love it!
I have a question, how long have you been doing this profession?
He has mentioned in other videos he's been doing this over 30 years.
Traci Smith ok I could not remember thank you
i subscribed. this is kinda satisfying to watch
I dont know anything about horses except that you can ride them. Can the horse feel you cleaning and scraping its hoof? Is it something like a human fingernail? Can you go too deep?
No butt the nails is 2 to 6 inches long so u can go pretty deep
What you can see is the hoof capsule, it encloses the sensitive stuff. So yes you can go too deep, how deep is too deep depends on the thickness of the hoof wall and the sole and this varies from horses to horse.

Nice work Gary! Do you take apprentice's?
Unfortunately I don’t, I’m not an ATF, don’t think I would want one anyway at my age!

My clincher won't crimp small enough on the much smaller donkey hoof.
You are always leaning, I feel my back while watching your videos, is your back ok ?
Fine thank you 😊
Farrier is a hard job! Not for everyone. They have to have back and leg muscles of steel and so much knowledge: Some I would consider super heroes.
This is asmr
Top mano continue com o bom trabalho
just wondering what is your opinion on the burning smell because i’m defo not a fan
Description
This is a bit Radom but. When he is filing the horses hoof. It kind of looks like coconut shavings
1:41 the other horse watching lol

Fine unless I have a really hard week then it’s a bit achy!
now i aint no horse expert
but ive watched a couple shoeing videos
and im wondering
isn't the black stuff where the nails were bad for the horse?
Another quick question why does this horse needs a clip on the front of the shoe? I know there are many reasons as to why
It helps to stop the shoe from moving.
Why do I find these vids early there's only 15 comments

I wish you would talk over it again! Loved this episode with Ana, where you talk a lot and explain. It was super relaxing and interesting
I loved seeing the nice comments and most wondering what’s what unlike last video wasn’t that positive
Quick useless question, why is it called the frog? Any specific reason?
no idea!
Frog?
I love your videos there amazing
Have any videos of your truck or how you set it all up?
How long have you been doing this? And your set up, how many horses do you manage that needs you to be portable like that?
That is a nice job
Huge fan, but I was wondering about the nails. Is there any rhyme or reason to how many nails and where you put them on the shoe?
Generally, and I say that because every foot is different, 4 nails in the outside and 3 on the inside. They are placed where ever the foot is good and solid, knowing exactly where that is comes with experience.
I love your videos❤️they are soooo goood
Is lower back pain an occupational hazard for you? How do you deal with that? It seems to me that it would do quite a number on your back...
Yes, regular visits to the Chiroprator help.
Hi livwe you shoeing videos there amazing
Question - Does this hurt the Donkey / Horse / Pony? Or does it feel like Clipping your nails or a manicure? 💅
Karma The Cat, it’s just like people nails
Brendon Urie Is god phew, Thank you I was scared to death. That Burning Hot Metal part scared the hibi gibis out of me! 👻
Is it more effective to start nipping at the heal(s) or toe?
I don't know as i have never started at the toe.

How do you know when to shave/ not shave/ stop shaving the froger?
Experience
Very cool
Gary what are the gloves you’re wearing? , they look pretty decent for shoeing in!
Ignite heavy duty nitrile. A little more expensive than normal nitrile gloves but they last really well. I used to go through a couple of pairs per horse of ordinary ones these will do a couple of horses per pair!
Thanks a lot Gary, Just ordered some.. happy new year to you!
Does it feel hot when the horseshoe fits on a horse
Does your camera automatically switch orientation? Thats cool.
And what is the purpose of burning the hoof with the shoe?
Read the description ahah
@@kirstyd554 it does not answer his question.
You can see the nail holes after you burned the shoe on. Its a way to see if the nails will be in the right position.
D.C. google it if you’re not satisfied with the FAQ’s
Matthias Hoffmann wrong!
D. C. I might be an expert but you are obviously not! Try speaking English and explaining yourself instead of thinking everyone is psychic!
Where do you get those gloves ? What kind are they
Amazon, IGNITE Diamond-Textured ORANGE Powder-Free Heavy Duty Nitrile Gloves
What is the part in the mid to back of the hoof the soft looking part. Thanks in advance
It’s called the frog, it’s made of the same material as the rest of the foot but less dense so it’s softer. It acts as a cushion, a aid to grip and via other structures within the hoof pumps blood back up the leg.
Oh ok thanks, i love to watch what you do it’s fascinating to me keep up the videos.
There are 2 sides of the hammer 1 flat and the other round when to use what side?
Is the white or black part the soft part
The black part, it's called the frog 😊
When do you or when do you not trim a frog?
When it’s overgrown and causing a dirt trap in the clefts.
Do you make the shoes you put on the horses?
Not all of them, mostly machine mades these days, when I was an apprentice we made all our own shoes, did that for many years.
How often do you have to horseshoe a horse?
Please read the description!
Oh... thanks!
I have a question why do you reshoe the horse even though your putting the same horseshoe on, I mean is it neccesary?
I mean I'm pretty sure the hoof needs to be cleaned or else it gets infected or something
The hoof grows and needs trimming, otherwise the foot gets long and overgrows the shoe.
Larry Brown ohhhhhhh ok thx
Take a look at your fingernails......we too need a trimming........
Idk why (maybe because it’s 4 am) but I read the titile as “No more horeshoeing” and I was very sad for a moment there!
How often do you change them
as it says in the description, every 6-8 weeks
I didn't look in the description sorry thank you
What does hammering the shoe do?
Shapes it to the foot
Why are you burning the horses foot?
Why not? It’s fun!
Haha always the same questions :D
You're a very patient man, Gary.
😂
Lol, are u joking or are u just stupid?
Maybe he really doesn't know that it's for making the shoe fit.. But ah well
Does this hurt the horse in any way just wondering?
Victor Gryszkiewicz I doubt it. I’ve seen horses fall asleep while getting horseshoed. I think it’s relaxing to them, but I’m not a horse lmao.
Victor Gryszkiewicz no it don’t hurt them at all they cant feel anything on there hoof except for the frog but it doesn’t hurt it is like when people get there nails cut it is like that but for horses
look at the disciption at find out😎
Yes done by someone not qualified.
It does not hurt the horse unless someone has no idea what they are doing. The part Gary is nailing into has no nerves meaning the horse feels nothing.
