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! 🙏❤️🇦🇺🇧🇷
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.
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.
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.
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.
Who gives a toss.? The cleaning looked good. If someone could do my feet and nails just as well id jump over a hedge and eat grass too. Enjoy the work. Bravo.❤
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.
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 😂
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 🔮🤨
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 to make a good hoof trim video: 1. INTRO: a 10 second selfie intro of yourself; 2. TOPIC: a 20 second full body shot of the horse. 3. SUBJECT: a 30 second video summary of its hooves and how it moves. 4. THE PLAN: a 20 second inhoof inhand video demo of what u plan to do on the hoof. 5. METHOD: a 2x sped up video of the nipper out edge trim, frog carve out, rasp flat grind, rasp vertical grind, front rim grind. of all hooves. 2 minutes 6. FINISH: A 2 minute before/after shot of the hooves; a walk/trot inhand to show better movement, then a dreamy slightly blurred slow video of the horse galloping in a grassy meadow filled with buttercups! superimpose the grassy buttercuppy meadow, with great music!
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 !!!
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?
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.
They get normal wear and tear just running.. they don't need shoes because they don't carry people or loads of stuff. They're not standing on concrete barn floors either...
@@phiddlephart7026 , people who don't care . They have animals for stupid reasons. They can't afford them. Don't know how to take care of them. Personally, I don't think they should ever be allowed to have any kind of animal... Period
@@phiddlephart7026 Horses need to travel miles a day over varying ground surfaces in order to wear down their hooves. So, an open grazing field isn’t going to help to maintain their hooves. A barefoot horse still needs to get its hooves trimmed even if it has access to a pasture. Horses without pasture access should be on a regular riding schedule and regularly get their hooves trimmed, if not, then you can start complaining.
It must be the most satisfying feeling, to go home after helping an animal such as this! Kudos to you!
The difference between before and after. You never get tired of watching; satisfying to see
Such skilled and loving hands
You made an old horse feel cared for again.
Another great job…thank you for your care + kindness…you are a gift for them! 🐎🙋♀️😁💕🐎
Thank You so much for Your Helping them ... ♥ Friendly Grets from Northern-Germany
Thank you so much for this lovely video. Great to know that there are many good people like you doing yourwork
Glad to see these hooves are on their way to being able to be normal. Thank you.
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 great video, thank you for helping these beautiful animals! Wonderful job, Renato!
😊
Thank you for taking such good care of these babies who can't do it for themselves. God bless you. ❤❤❤💜💜💜
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***
One of the hardest jobs going being a Ferrier. Nice work done here👍
Glad to see they had a cattle dog helping. Makes every job easier.
I am just imagining the terrible back problems you all have. You do great work.
Wow it didn't even look like a horse hoof.
Awesome work 😊👍
Thank you for watching our work...
@@opengate-ej6ml Your welcome 😊
Thank you Renato for helping the animal,,, I'm proud to be a subscriber of the channel...
Wow! Such a beautiful hoof when you get finished! Thank you and thanks for explaining everything too!
Thanks for caring for this horse. Old horses need loving also.
Horse is so patient, knows he is helping him
Master artist at work. And I should say, the horse was as gentle as can be.
Another job well done!
Thank you, I appreciate you following our work
Great job as usual guys!

What a patient anumal too
Poor baby! Thank you for fixing him!
What a beautiful paint horse too 😅so glad you helped him 😊😊😊
Great job guys❤❤❤.
Awesome work
Incredible. The stone was stuck and was difficult to see. 😮surprisingly the hoof wasn’t deeply damaged.
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.
My goodness, why on earth why was it left to get this bad!!! They don't deserve such a beautiful creature ❤💔❤
I like the mustang roll you gave to the hoof. Well done!
Love how the dog is eating up the hoof shavings.
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.

Horn dog!

Just found channel! Poor horse has to feel so.much better. Glad I have volume button though, can't understand why all the excess talking.
God bless you!!
Voice Over is off of the hook. Love it
Artistic hard work I bet that horse feels better
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.
Beautiful 🙌😊
good job guys !!!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Amazing job.
So how do wild horses maintain their hoofs
I also want to know.

Great job I am sure the horse is relieved, can you tell me why dogs eat the hoof trimmings?
Great work.

Enjoy the work. Bravo.❤
Thank you ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Thankyous for showing us in how to cuts the horses hoof trimming ok thankyous step by step ok thankyous ❤
Great job, feel so bad for the horse whos owners neglect the hoofs 😢😢
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.
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
doggo looking for his hoof treats
I would like to know what Renato does to keep his hands in shape,this must be very hard on the hands and wrists.

🪨 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
Hope the owner is educated in taking care of a horse..

They said the stable was "so dirty", so I doubt the owner is great at maintaining either his horses or their stabling, sadly.
Would and Could you Use The Battery Grinder that the Cow and Steer Trimmer use to speed up for the Horse Trimmer?
Will the owner keep it clean?
The hoofs now look great! Do they get horse shoes?
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.
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!
heels have rolled in .. perhaps a heartbar? how does the coffin bone lay?
Please show the horse walking after their hoof trims.
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
Nice video.
Omg 😮😮😮that poor sweet horse 🐎 😮😮😮

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.
How often should the hoof be trimmed?
Who trims horses in the wild ?
How often should a horse get it foot trimmed
Когда лошади были дикими, их копыта не нуждались в человеческом уходе. Почему домашние животные нуждаются в нём? Что с ними не так? 🤔

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.
How do wild horses get on ?
Ppl who know this is pretty much the norm during certain phases of hoof growth don’t even comment…

Domesticated horses are unable to wear down their hooves, where wild horses travel miles a day over rough terrine that wares down their hooves.

That owner should be ashamed of himself
Interesting to compare this guy with the Scottish guy who works with cows
Poor ol guy !!!
What happens with wild horses that aren't groomed?
That poor horse why did its owner neglected so it looks like that that's terrible

Yes it does.
