The frog helps to push venous blood back up the leg to return to the heart/lungs. Each step acts like a pump. Getting back up those legs gets a big lift from the frog's action.
Fantastic to see the back hooves being cleaned and trimmed too. I am always amazed at how one o know just how much to remove and have equal balance of depth and shape for each of the 4 hooves! Thank you! 🙏❤️🇦🇺🇧🇷
Heelers are absolute psychopaths. I’ve never seen a breed with so much energy! Of course that’s probably my hyperactive daughter has heeler puppy and I have a Newfoundland pup.
Decades ago my dad started trimming a horse one day but when he started to use his nippers, they wouldn’t cut through the hoof. He went back to his knife and after cutting some more away he saw the horse was actually shod but the horse’s hooves had grown down and over the shoes! Obviously it had been a while since the horse had been trimmed. Took a while but he got them cleaned up.
Skilled farrier, that horse has good quality feet. Thrush is that black stuff, the anaerobic bacteria. Keeping them cleaned and dry will have those back in decent shape by next farrier appointment (6-8wks) Sounds like you have a solid plan, thrush is an issue in many places, depending on environment. Thrush can be minimized or eliminated with some preventable practice. Question: Why is he still a stallion? When he bodies up, his attitude may change. That can sometimes arise when neglected horses feel the benefits of nutrition. Hes got great quality feet, and you have a skilled farrier. Farriers are a necessary part of the team. Everyone should treat your skilled farriers well. They are vital to the well being of horses. Especially if your farrier works well with your vet. That's the dream team there. Have fun with your horse. He is lucky to have you.
Unlike domestic horses, wild horses are free to roam through different surfaces. Sometimes on wet mud, sometimes on dry hard packed dirt, sometimes on stone. So they’re hooves get warn down or washed naturally. Most tame horses are kept in always wet or always dry, and rarely solid stone. Ever seen a horse dig its rolling spot? This also helps.
I’m no equine expert, but from what I do know, the owners of these animals are rarely to blame for a lame hoof. Maintaining the hooves of an animal comes right down to what the farrier does A conscientious owner has the farrier in on a regular basis to maintain hoof health. You can usually see by these vids, mostly cows, are very well looked after. That’s why farriers are so important to an animals’ well being. This is a horrible comparison, but if you own a dog and take good care of your loyal companion, you have to check the dog’s feet, make sure paw pads are not injured, check between the toes to make sure the paws are in good shape. And trim the nails…easier said than done! I’d offer that, with their skill and knowledge, this is what a farrier does for his bovine “patience.”❤️
I haven’t watched a lot of the videos yet I don’t see any horse getting impatient or angry. Maybe they sense things are about to get a whole lot more comfortable 🔮🤨
These comments are a perfect example of people commenting on a subject they know next to nothing about. NOT an old horse, NOT in pain. That was fairly normal hoof growth that the farrier trimmed, the edge was a little rough as you would expect on a shoeless horse who is on arrid ground. Not all horses need shoes.
No, but shoed or not, as an owner it's your job to check their feet every day or two if they are on rocky ground. You need to keep on top of the stones they pick up.
Welcome to the internet, everyone’s an expert…..in bullshit. It doesn’t help that so many are kids that hear or read something once and think they are instantly experts.
@@corneliusblackwood9014 I'm no expert, but I've lived on a farm all my life where we use horses to work the cattle. Like all the animals we had, it was our job to look after them, every day. I don't know about you, but having a stone in my shoe has never been an enjoyable experience for me. I seriously doubt the horses/cattle enjoyed it either.
Thank you, I know nothing about hoof trimming but I sure learned a lot, I found it quite fascinating, and necessary for the health of the horse, it would be better to have a little pain now than have permanent damage and major pain later, so many people don’t look at the big picture, but like I said earlier I know nothing, so some comments I keep to myself 😂
They travel hundreds of miles a day in the wild grazing and looking for food and get naturally worn down. Wild horses also naturally select for strong hoof genetics, via ones with weak or deformed hoof are prayed upon when an issue occurs. Why do people ask questions in the comment section when it would be faster and a more accurate source to google a question like this?
It's just as much art as it is skill. There are subtle differences in texture of the sole that tells the farrier to stop shaving. The length of the heel and toe are based off of measurements of the rest of the foot and just watching how the horse walks and wears the hoof naturally.
They wear off in the wild. Domesticated animals have a lot of soft surfaces, plus don't do as much running long distances as in the wild. In terms of the corresponding skeletal structure, the hoof is as if your middle fingernail and toenail were overdeveloped and thickened, while the other digits shrank and melded in. The horse's hoof corresponds to that middle nail. As with other animals with nails in the wild, such as wolves or coyotes, they wear off with use.
That’s not a bad foot. The trim is not more than 3 months old. Granted most are trimmed every 8 weeks to 2 months. But this is not cruelty nor is it abuse. Do better.
Will this kind of trimming, after the hood has been ignored for far too long, give the horse immediate relief ??? Poor thing…and so well behaved while you provide vital care…what a sweet boy !! I hope he gets immediate relief !!!

It must be the most satisfying feeling, to go home after helping an animal such as this! Kudos to you!
Another great job…thank you for your care + kindness…you are a gift for them! 🐎🙋♀️😁💕🐎
Thank you for taking such good care of these babies who can't do it for themselves. God bless you. ❤❤❤💜💜💜
Such skilled and loving hands
You made an old horse feel cared for again.
Love how the dog is eating up the hoof shavings.
Glad to see these hooves are on their way to being able to be normal. Thank you.
Another great video, thank you for helping these beautiful animals! Wonderful job, Renato!
Wow! Such a beautiful hoof when you get finished! Thank you and thanks for explaining everything too!
Wow it didn't even look like a horse hoof.
Awesome work 😊👍
Thank you for watching our work...
@@opengate-ej6ml Your welcome 😊
Great job as usual guys!
thank you
Thank You so much for Your Helping them ... ♥ Friendly Grets from Northern-Germany
Thank you for caring so much about the animals. Bless you. ❤ I bet the horse is so happy. Xx😊
I may not know a lot about horses but i can tell neclet***
Thank you Renato for helping the animal,,, I'm proud to be a subscriber of the channel...
The difference between before and after. You never get tired of watching; satisfying to see
One of the hardest jobs going being a Ferrier. Nice work done here👍
The dog waiting for the trimmings...interesting how dogs love to chew on hoof pieces. Thank you for giving this old horse new feet!
my dogs go crazy for their own toenail trimmings
In a survival situation, your fingernails are a great source of calcium and other essential nutrients. Makes sense dogs would eat large chips.
Another job well done!
Thank you, I appreciate you following our work
I am just imagining the terrible back problems you all have. You do great work.
Great job guys❤❤❤.
What a patient anumal too
The frog helps to push venous blood back up the leg to return to the heart/lungs. Each step acts like a pump. Getting back up those legs gets a big lift from the frog's action.
What a beautiful paint horse too 😅so glad you helped him 😊😊😊
Poor baby! Thank you for fixing him!
Master artist at work. And I should say, the horse was as gentle as can be.
Fantastic to see the back hooves being cleaned and trimmed too. I am always amazed at how one o know just how much to remove and have equal balance of depth and shape for each of the 4 hooves! Thank you! 🙏❤️🇦🇺🇧🇷
My goodness, why on earth why was it left to get this bad!!! They don't deserve such a beautiful creature ❤💔❤
Incredible. The stone was stuck and was difficult to see. 😮surprisingly the hoof wasn’t deeply damaged.
doggo looking for his hoof treats
God bless you!!
Thank you ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
The Blue Heeler looks like a good dog...
Horn dog!
Heelers are absolute psychopaths. I’ve never seen a breed with so much energy! Of course that’s probably my hyperactive daughter has heeler puppy and I have a Newfoundland pup.
Beautiful 🙌😊

Voice Over is off of the hook. Love it
Amazing job.
Great work.
I like the mustang roll you gave to the hoof. Well done!
I have had a hoof knife for a lot of years. So long I do not remember how I got it. Did not know what it was. You guys answered a mystery.
good job guys !!!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Artistic hard work I bet that horse feels better
Thankyous for showing us in how to cuts the horses hoof trimming ok thankyous step by step ok thankyous ❤
Skilled farrier, that horse has good quality feet.

Too bad you don't have a trailer with a catch to hold the foot. It would be easier on your back. Great job. Thanks for your kindness
So how do wild horses maintain their hoofs
I also want to know.
Unlike domestic horses, wild horses are free to roam through different surfaces. Sometimes on wet mud, sometimes on dry hard packed dirt, sometimes on stone. So they’re hooves get warn down or washed naturally. Most tame horses are kept in always wet or always dry, and rarely solid stone. Ever seen a horse dig its rolling spot? This also helps.
Great job, feel so bad for the horse whos owners neglect the hoofs 😢😢
Nice video.
LOL your Australian Cattle Dog gets right in the middle of the action, too, huh? I had to learn to look before I move... LOL
Please show the horse walking after their hoof trims.
Hope the owner is educated in taking care of a horse..
I’m no equine expert, but from what I do know, the owners of these animals are rarely to blame for a lame hoof.
Maintaining the hooves of an animal comes right down to what the farrier does
A conscientious owner has the farrier in on a regular basis to maintain hoof health.

And trim the nails…easier said than done!
I’d offer that, with their skill and knowledge, this is what a farrier does for his bovine “patience.”❤️
They said the stable was "so dirty", so I doubt the owner is great at maintaining either his horses or their stabling, sadly.
That poor horse why did its owner neglected so it looks like that that's terrible
many animals when they are old are neglected and this needs to change...
Yes it does.
If owner knew what they were doing, & how to look after a horse, it wouldn't be like that!
@@opengate-ej6mllike old people!
It's lucky that it is tended to. Horses in the wild don't get this attention
Will the owner keep it clean?
The hoofs now look great! Do they get horse shoes?
Omg 😮😮😮that poor sweet horse 🐎 😮😮😮
Interesting to compare this guy with the Scottish guy who works with cows
Are horse hooves like human fingernails, that is, hooves keep growing? Great job.
Yes. The farrier is giving the horse the equivalent of a pedicure. That procedure needs to be done on a regular basis.
@@michaelgoble8200 Thank you.
Do you guys only do emergency hoof care or do you do maintenance visits as well? I know you're a charity and do an excellent job in just curious!
I would like to know what Renato does to keep his hands in shape,this must be very hard on the hands and wrists.
I haven’t watched a lot of the videos yet I don’t see any horse getting impatient or angry. Maybe they sense things are about to get a whole lot more comfortable 🔮🤨

🪨 Wake Up, Tamara Wood! If you had a rock stuck in your foot, it would hurt. Just like that rock in the horses foot, would most likely hurt them
That owner should be ashamed of himself
The dog wants to help 😂
Would and Could you Use The Battery Grinder that the Cow and Steer Trimmer use to speed up for the Horse Trimmer?
Who trims horses in the wild ?
heels have rolled in .. perhaps a heartbar? how does the coffin bone lay?
👍👍👍
What happens with wild horses? If this is an animal that just hasn't been trimmed for a while
They go lame and get eaten.
Poor ol guy !!!
Ppl who know this is pretty much the norm during certain phases of hoof growth don’t even comment…
Shame on these bad owners, if you don't take care of your animals, you don't deserve them!!
How often should the hoof be trimmed?
Why don't wild horses have issues with their hooves?
They travel hundreds of miles a day in the wild grazing and looking for food and get naturally worn down. Wild horses also naturally select for strong hoof genetics, via ones with weak or deformed hoof are prayed upon when an issue occurs.
Why do people ask questions in the comment section when it would be faster and a more accurate source to google a question like this?
Your back is hurting me 😂
Where are you located? You get cases that the owners are not taking care of the feet. I've only seen cases for normal care.
Yea ha!
Hi there how do you know how much can you cuts or trimming the hoof of a horse shoe ?? ❤
It's just as much art as it is skill. There are subtle differences in texture of the sole that tells the farrier to stop shaving. The length of the heel and toe are based off of measurements of the rest of the foot and just watching how the horse walks and wears the hoof naturally.
What kind of knife do you use? What brand?
Could not even see his frog 😮😮😮at first 😮😮😮
Are the dogs eating the clippings??
is the dog eating the hoof trimmings??
what has happened to the horse and the cow who both had very bad ticks? please can you do an update xx
They probably don't get vet care for prevention like our dogs and cats. Poor countries can't afford them I imagine
How do wild horses get on ?
Do wild horses have these hoof problems?
They wear off in the wild. Domesticated animals have a lot of soft surfaces, plus don't do as much running long distances as in the wild. In terms of the corresponding skeletal structure, the hoof is as if your middle fingernail and toenail were overdeveloped and thickened, while the other digits shrank and melded in. The horse's hoof corresponds to that middle nail. As with other animals with nails in the wild, such as wolves or coyotes, they wear off with use.
How often should a horse get it foot trimmed
👍👋🇵🇱
Ah another forbidden coconut.
Why wasn’t this horse checked periodically? This is so sad.
people are so kind but we wouldn't know how kind if it werent for the hideous behaviour of the horribly cruel.
That’s not a bad foot. The trim is not more than 3 months old. Granted most are trimmed every 8 weeks to 2 months. But this is not cruelty nor is it abuse. Do better.
Will this kind of trimming, after the hood has been ignored for far too long, give the horse immediate relief ??? Poor thing…and so well behaved while you provide vital care…what a sweet boy !! I hope he gets immediate relief !!!
It says horse finally gets relief…ok genius
There was a Fifty Pence coin stuck in it !
Still a 1/2” long when he started rasping!
What happens with wild horses that aren't groomed?
Is this neglect on the owners part?
How do horses survive in the wild?
Domesticated horses are unable to wear down their hooves, where wild horses travel miles a day over rough terrine that wares down their hooves.
From the thumbnail, I thought you were holding something the horse pooped out! 😂! Great video guys! Good work ,very satisfying!
Why do dogs like to eat the hoofs? Is it like bones?
Poor horse..so cruel and pure neglect leaving horses feet like this..
When exactly is the relief?
There was a stone stuck in the wall of the hoof that made a hole.
