Dealing with seedy toe
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 1 ต.ค. 2024
- This horse has a nasty case of seedy toe which is a anaerobic bacterial infection that enters the hoof wall/laminae junction via cracks, injuries or separation of the hoof wall, and then propagates very quickly in the non-oxygenated environment.
Here I'm removing the necrotic material and opening up the cavities to try and stop it spreading.

I have no interest in horses or anything farm related and have no idea why this showed up in my recommended. But... I watched the whole video, it was well narrated, the shots were interesting, you seem very experienced, I even googled a few pages to understand what seedy toe is. In short, I'm still not interested in horses but your videos are extremely well put together if they can hold someone like myself's attention.
thanks!

Yeah, this was basically my situation. Showed up in related videos, and I just clicked it out of curiosity. Very well done and interesting video.
Same, lol.
Sada Asda no need for you old woman!
Im getting addicted to watching horse being shoed
I don't even own or ride a horse but these vids are really fascinating
@Mel Hawk what?
People like pimple popping video and I think these videos
Gus Adams me to they're so satisfying
Gus Adams i dont get why people like watching pimple popping videos its so fucking disgusting
Zexir official I'm one of those people that like watching those types of video n I can't explain why I like them
michel rodriguez same
My husband likes those videos... He also will sometimes caress my face or back, but he's really just secretly feeling for a zit to pop... lol. I will not let him do that anymore bc everytime he is able to, I break out even worse.
As someone who knows nothing about farrier work, it seems like the forging is the least of it and learning all about the foot and its diseases is the hard part. You are sort of a horse podiatrist.
Frank B Also kinda like a manicurist. ☺ That makes me wonder if anyone has ever painted their horse's hooves... lol
We do! Haha, there's this product called Twinkle Toes and it's essentially nail polish for their feet.
im here again, 5am this time.
Mi Sa sameeeeeee
3rd shoe horsing man video now. Pleese I want to got to bed,,,,
*Farrier :)
1:00 you are brave to leave your iPad right next to a horses hoof
Maggie E a horse standing on three legs isn't going to be moving very much. But I wouldn't be putting it there just in case.
I was thinking the same thing.
I know nothing about horses and don’t even have a pet but this was recommended and now I’m into it. I’m glad the problems and how to solve them are explained for people like me.
Why is this the 3rd horse shoeing video I've watched in a row? Late night TH-cam binge has reached new levels
Sir it is pleasure to watch you doing this,may God give you good health so you can do this for a many more years to come.my grandfather was a blacksmith. unfortunately this is a trade that is slowly dying of and fading.
You do a very neat job, wish our farriers would take as much care as you do! A horse nutritionist once told me that seedy toe can sometimes be caused, or at least exacerbated, by too much sugar not being balanced out by other vitamins or minerals, especially in horses who are prone to founder. No idea if it's true or not, just putting it out there. If the cause is fungal I guess too much sugar could make the environment favourable for fungus to grow. If the young owner is anything like my autistic son, he'll sneak down to the paddock and load the horse up with way too many sugar cubes!
That's a good call I think, this lad is much the same and she has foundered in the past!
dyingsun23 I have no idea about horses, just love skilled workers, but if sugar is an issue, and you said in the vid that summer causes a different client's horse to suffer, is there an orchard or berry bush near the paddock, the horses might be snacking on natural sugar sources around the area. just a thought.
Jesus I think his forearms are bigger than my biceps
afrochickenboy his forearms are as big as my calfs
afrochickenboy boy you probably have very small arms to think he's gat big forarms
he has the arms of a Smith.

afrochickenboy u need to go to the gym
look at all the horse experts
Benjamin oh no no
Even though I don't have a horse, i find this video interesting and very cool! Very informative!
My family comes from old time farming and vets were a luxury. When our horses came down with those cracks we used copper-sulfate and packed the crack & holes after we cleaned it THROUGHLY. Soak the hoof first after cleaning and the pack with crystal copper-sulfate and cotton balls to keep the crystals in place. Clean & soak every other day until crack grows out. This works amazingly!
we did similar when i was a boy. The trouble is getting the owners to do it , they want a one time fix!
Why are you people still droning on with this? I know the treatments, it’s the owner’s that don’t put in the time or effort! Stop pestering me!
How can I when no one is interested in doing it? You just don’t listen do you!
Hi Kathy, soak the hoof in what first? I'm going to try this.
Got a bit scared when I saw that Ipad terribly close to the horse hooves!
George Stevens he knows what he is doing.
Horses gettting their nails done
Late comment but thank you for taking careful care of that horse. As a father of a special needs child, it means so much to us parents when someone recognizes the importance of some things. It is clear to me that not only are you caring for that horse, you are making sure that horse can spend as much time with that child.
Haha horses are so funny. Like a giant dogger. I wonder what they think when people do this like " o helo gary u would like my foot yes? Oo yes very nice strange friend fix my feet! "
Sean Gall you should check out some moose videos - definitely would keep you happy 😊
You sound like 2-D from Gorillaz
Acrylic Rose every British person does
I'm not the only one yay
seemed like such a good natured,well mannered animal.hope she's now healthy
Yep YT, the first thing to do before an exam is to watch man shoeing a horse for 14 minutes..

Great work, Sir! At least you show a whole video showing what you are doing....For the most part on TH-cam the videos about taking care of Horse hoofs are horrendous and incredibly short. Half a minute tops 2 minutes are the durations of the videos. But most farriers didn’t have any Subscribers, that explains why! 🤔Thank you for sharing your great job with the horses. I subscribed to your channel immediately! May God Bless you and the animals....🙏🏼🍀🐴Best wishes from Canada and keep doing what you are doing(nice camerawork as well...)❤️👋🏼🇨🇦
all the ground pressure on that excessive wall is likely what caused the white line stretching that opened it up to the infection getting in. Ive been using a different approch instead of severe rececting. Been doing frequent trims 4 weeks in between touching up the wall with a handheld surform shaver once a week, keeping the walls trimmed back with lots of break over around it to minimise any leverages, and using a product called sav-a -hoof (for thrush and whiteline disease) to heal it from the inside out and get it to grow out. I'm seeing great results. A horse with severe problems was almost sent to slaughter because of chronic lameness is now sound and showing great wall integity as the hoof is growing down. To me this is a more effective solution because if the horse has this much whiteline disease at the toe, chances are it's in the quarters too, it looks like it might be in the outside quarter flare shown. Some feet get so bad you'd have to take off so much wall it would compromise the integrity of the hoof capsule too much.
Idk why but this just satisfies me :C ?
Poor girl, seedy toe has turned her hooves into cloven ones!
Watching a farrier work is very relaxing. Makes me wish I went into horse medicine sometimes.
What happened to your left hand?
How far in can you safely dig until the horse will feel it?
up til the nail ends
@@JohnHayfronBenjamin where does the nail end? Because it seems like he's passed that (assuming it's the black part)?
7:11 to 736
@@mrzap2875 yep
@@BBSHOCKZ so pretty much the first couple of cm in not super far otherwise it'll bleed
also don't dig in too far cause that'll bleed as well
id love to be a farrier ! you are obviously good at your job and you care a lot about your clients :)
What am i watching...
Isaac Vuong sameeeee idk why im here
A very hard job
that guy rhetorical question dumb fuck
Idk even know how I got here anymore I’m like deep in the TH-cam jungle😂😂
An old Stockmans trick. Shred up some hessian twine mix with thick Stockholm tar and pack into the holes with forceps. Repeat daily and keep the horse on dry land or a dry stable. Problem solved
I don’t have a horse or plan to own one lol good video though
Wow thats a lot of hoofwall for 6 weeks!
Could this be because she doesn’t have shoes?
Sees tablet at 0:58 seconds...
WHY IS THERE A TABLET THAT CLOSE TO A HORSES FOOT? XD that's begging for an accident
Is it only me who thinks it’s satisfying ?
Give you that feeling that you need to itch under the skin for me.
Love the commentary! Very interesting. I like to see a professional at work.
Ur voice is so cool you sound like Damon albarn
Someone 2019?
It seems like she should feel pain somewhere where you're digging out her hoof in the front. How far down/up is a nerve that she would feel pain? Honest question, not trying to be difficult.
If i recall correctly most of the hoof is basically toenail. What hes trimming is basically a broken nail, as well as the area around it. Theres only a small portion that feels pain that's never touched in this process
ok I just watched the Shoeing of Gala and now with that accent I have to sub man
Flaring due to the laminitis, as is the rapid growth. I'd dispute the laminitis not being related to diet too as you said there's plenty of grass (likely chronic, sub-clinical). Limit the grass, off hard feed, exercise... and balance the feet better. Treating the symptom well there but eliminating the causes is the key! I say this with respect. Nicely cleaned up :)
Why are you telling me? It’s not my horse and the owners do what they want whatever I say!
@@garyhuston Of course, owners are almost always the hardest part of hoof-care. I'm commenting for several reasons, the primary one being the exchange of helpful information - which might help owners be more proactive in preventing such issues rather than leave it to us to fix. You do also say "I'm not sure why..." several times in the video and, as I say, I comment with all due respect.
kindof like drilling a cavity
I too am concerned about that iPad!
here because of RDR2
GlitchByte same the game is awesome
I know nothing about horses, feet etc. How do wild horses get on then ? They don't have the luxury of pedicures. From new zealand. Just curious.
I believe, correct me if I am wrong, they naturally wear the overgrowth down with the rougher terrain they are in. Wild horses are known to travel great distances and as they travel over rocks, sand, and other things in the environment it wears the hoof down naturally.
@@kiaraafdahl9724 . Thanking you.
Yes, horses in the wild will travel like 20 miles a day and it will naturally wear down
I hope im not asking a question that's already been answered, but cutting so far up into the hoof seems like over time would make it prone to split into the quick. What keeps that from happening?
This is fascinating. I know very little about horses. I'm surprised that it just stands there very calmly while you work.
Gary, you are such a lad
What a lovely relaxed patient she was.
You don't have tightly connected lamina that's why you get flares and seedy toe or white line. Sometimes flares just form as the hoofs natural way to start breaking down if they are overgrown.
Lol!🤪🤪
Nice calm horse, my ex missus first horse was like this, except when he came across plastic bags blowing across the lane or in a bsuh then he would go mental. That's partially why she stopped hacking him on the roads due to all the litter being chucked in the countryside!
is it a fungus...I never heard of seedy toe on a horse and had lots
yes, a bit like thrush.
Mine has it. Got to watch their feed, too rich set`em off.
QUESTION::
If cured, will the toe grow back?
Yes.
So you said your left hand just acted as a passenger.I found myself here looking for tips on nail trimming as i had a couple strokes awhile back and my right hand can be bothersome.Just wondering if that was what you were referring to. Liked and subbed thanks for sharing.
Oh ya trimming pigs hooves not my nails.haha
I would recommend a bar shoe or and pour in pads for coffin bone support since you just took all that hoof wall off.. you are already dealing with a laminitis problem you don't want the coffin bone to move anymore.
really long toed horses seem to be prone to this due to pressure on toe which starts crack and then muck and manure get up in there which will prevent it from growing out
I never noticed a horses hooves is just a big nail, what a crazy evolutionary trait.
But on a stupid thought, I wonder how big of a nose can that big nail dig a booger out looool.
Anyways amazing job sir, for some reason I keep watching these horse ferrying videos
I just want to make sure that this and horse shoeing doesn't cause the horse any pain does it?
The hoof wall has no blood supply and no nerves.
I find these videos very educative.
the word you're looking for is 'educational'
It is really a pleasure to see you working! So professional and so calm. The appearance you have on the horses is also fantastic to see and experience. Many farriers can take an example !! :)
I love watching your videos and I have two questions.
1. Are horses that don’t wear shoes healthier than those that do?
2. Have you ever been kicked by a horse while doing your jobs?
No, and yes.
Horse shoes are done to protect their hooves from wearing down faster than they can grow. Intense work with the horse but also asphalt and stone are the reasons it's done. Like dragging your fingernails over sandpaper every day: it doesn't go well for long. Especially in winter in Northwest europe, when everything becomes a swamp, you can only ride your horses on the streets or in the arena. That being said naturall barefoot is possible and totally good too. Just not for the "athlete horses".
The horses trust him so thats why he hasnt been kicked on camera, but they do kick. My uncle has to get his jaw wired once
Thank you Gary and everyone for your help. I didn’t know all of what you all shared. I love horses and one day hope to own a horse rescue farm here in the states. They are truly beautiful and amazing creatures. Cheers
Hi Gary, How much has blacksmithing changed in the last 200 years? My great great great granddad was a blacksmith.
Lynn Mason ask your great great great granddad
I’m so scared for the ipad, lol. But very interesting video!
Thank you for the interesting video! Is there any chance that the seedy toe problem is caused by a nutritional deficiency (especially mineral)?
possibly
I’ve seen horse shoeing from all over the world and you are the best of them all, just love how you do your job well done, Keep up the good work,
danm i wanna see that dude so bad xD
Why is this so satisfying to me?.,.
Hello mate, new to the channel. What's happened to your left?
If you mean my left hand then I had a botched carpal tunnel operation in august 2015 which is playing me up. All sorted now though!
@@garyhuston ah gotcha. Glad it's doing well!
how do you know your past the nail on the horse? (besides the horse freaking out and kicking you)
skiie a
Intensive study of the anatomy of a hoof, and being good with angles. He knows his business. 😊
Lovely clear and concise video :-) what a good old girl the mare was too.
If she has just come back from a bout of Laminitis - cushings related at a guess looking at her coat/eyes/weight distribution? - then it is quite possible that she has had some separation of the white line/laminae which has allowed grit to compact and set up the fungal infection... That could be why the client with the horse who gets seedy toe behind every summer has issues too? Worth both of those clients testing for EMS and Cushings.
I do like that you take back the fungal tract to the 'root' as it were. Even though seedy toe is an anaerobic fungus, a lot of farriers will only open up the toe and not follow the tracts back, which I think defeats the object all together!
I'll definitely be watching some more of your video's, thank you for your clarity x
not a horse guy but isn't that most likely a fungal infection?
Yeah it is.
Well done!✨😁👍truly
What a sweet horse my goodness
What a lovely chap! I unintentionally watch the whole video and I learned things! Keep up the amazing work dude!!
I get dizzy from watching this upside down
This reminds me of a plantar Wart cause they come back a lot and there could be more than one. But in the horsey world.
A horse is essentially standing on 4 fingers.
Thicker forearms than my thicc thighs damn
Intriguing video and nice narrating!
Good work Gary! Although I think that you have't gone far enough. I feel that you have to go as far as you feel is 'far enough' and the some! I have had lots of experience with this problem and it can confound, you believe me. farriertotrim.com.au
what exactly is a seedy toe? Is it rotting crumbling cracking or is it becoming soft
No but in all seriousness is a seedy toe where the toe crumbles/cracks or is it soft?
Maggie Mailee Redden it's like thrush, search it up
god i love watching you do this
A mixture of natural pine sap + turpine and fine saw dust applied very warm is like a natural epoxy resin which kills bacteria .
I understand that there is no nerves in a horse shoe but...
Doesn't the horse find it weird that some guy is carving away its foot.
Phantom Fear horse hoof, not a shoe
Phantom Fear and there are a lot of nerves in a hoof
It's 2am and i don't know why im watching this
Lame Ape same. i know nothing about horses yet here I am watching so many horse videos... always at like 2 or 3 am haha
It's satisfying btw
Hah its 4:30 am for me *dabs*
Is it weird to not be into horses or farrier work at all but also be completely interested in this video start to finish?
I have never owned horses nor have I ever cared for a horse but I love watching this! Why am I so weird.
If you're weird, so am I. My husband is a farrier and I've seen him do this thousands of times, I never get bored of watching.
Did you make that copper bracelet ? I like it .
+Chuck Harry yes..
Toes too long pull it back to lamina and you will see big results may have to cast it from looking at video and without seeing a lateral x ray that's my bet by seeing sole like you said she had laminitis which means rotation has occured been fighting a foot like that myself for a yr customer finally got me a x ray and problem was fixed in 8 weeks with 3 trim sand 2 x rays
You sure smoothed that foot up nice. I hope she get's better soon. With your help i have no doubt she's getting the best of care. Thank you for sharing your work.
i replayed it and watch it upside down, perfect!
what is seedy foot? plz answer me, im trying to learn more about horse and i have finely found something that i dont know about horses!
Thank you for your interesting videos Gary. I did find this issue on a neglected horse, it took me weeks of copper sulphate, and packing, wrapping treatment in between Farrier trimmings to get it under control. As well as diet supplements...Just wondering, considering the seedy toe is a fungus, would using the same tools on all feet re-contaminate the area ? Are the tools treated to kill pathogens between hooves / horses ?
Good question.
Ha doing her...sorry
fantastic video once again sah! thanks for sharing your knowledge with all of us :)
How about soaking the foot in a mixture of medicines that might help kill the bacteria??? THANK YOU Vinny 🇺🇸
Would you not fill it in with Superfast Vettec or something to keep it from getting packed with crud again?
No, this is an anaerobic bacteria, if you seal it in you are giving it the perfect conditions to thrive. If you must cover it use something that can be taken out daily to flush with peroxide or dilute bleach.
@@garyhuston thanks.
So the whole process when you where going with it on the front, did not hurt for her, like what is a hoof, is it bones, or nail like for human(finger nails for horse), like what is it
Yes, just like a huge fingernail.
1-and-only-cool10 And also i think, if it would hurt her, she would take a care of it and it would hurt more him then her :D also.. beautiful work sir !
It's basically equivalent to having big cinderblocks on the bottom of your feet.
Best I can describe is like hair or nails (which are both extremely similar)
Is it keratin, like finger nails? It seems a lot softer than keratin. Looks like play-doh.
Have anyone heard of using vinegar??
