I don't think most people have a clue how much skill and craftsmanship is needed to make specialized horseshoes from scratch. Add in the fact that the draft horse, who was easily over 1000 pounds, was constantly pulling his hoof away- mad respect.
Make sure you watch the whole video. A lot of your questions are answered throughout the video. Pretty ironic that we made a heart bar on Valentine’s Day! Enjoy the video!
I would like to know what product you are using to coat the outside of the hoof after you finish the job. It looks like good stuff. (I saw it used in a previous video)
I'm addicted to ur channel. It's the forging I like the best! To take a bar of metal n forge it, bend it, beat it, form it n make tracks for the nails. It's a craftsmanship to be proud of. To see the before n after is amazing. Keep up the great work, from S.E. TN!!
I agree: one tends to take more pride in a handmade product, rather than something pre-built! Plus, in this day and age, having more skills takes you farther.
@@KeaveMind nope, i know farriers dont apply to this, but many people only go far because of success other people have created, like generational wealth for example, you can use the existing money you're left with to force ways to get yourself further. only difference is that its not sustainable
Watching this, you can see why, historically, smiths were revered as magicians. The shoe itself is a work of art and the process of making it is mesmerising. I really am in awe of the knowledge and skills of the farrier. I know next to nothing about horses . . . but I'm learning fast! Incredible work.
@@neeadevil4840 In Nigeria, home to some of the earliest iron working cultures on the planet, blacksmiths assumed a great deal of spiritual and political importance that continues into the modern era. Working with iron in particular is very difficult, and a population was quite dependent on a small population of smiths to make tools and weapons alike.
@@narellemacpherson9759 No better comment. Add to that these facts: 1)Hearing protection is cheaper than hearing aids. 2) Better hearing will result in fewer falls as you age. Thanks for the heads up. Best to you and yours.
With regards protecting hearing, that’s a good idea but I suspect the smiths at least use the sound from the ‘banging’ as feedback when creating items.
I love watching a master craftsman farrier at work, from working out what the foot needs to give it strength and balance, to making the appropriate shoe for the horse to help for hoof health , comfort and hoof improvement
Wow ! That truly is an art . I knew nothing about horseshoes and never realised all the craftsmanship involved. Thanks for all your hard work and dedication to do what's best for these beautiful animals.😊
Мне кажется, Тамаре нравятся новые туфли... как женщинам во всем мире! как хорошо животное должно чувствовать себя с этой новой вещью. Привет из Италии
WOW !!!!!! I am so VERY impressed by the way that you did this horseshoeing and blacksmithing work !!!! You did a FANTASTIC JOB of making sure that this horse was trimmed AND shod with such professional attention to EVERY DETAIL to make him feel VERY COMFORTABLE . HIS HOOF WAS IN TERRIBLE CONDITION AND YOU BROUGHT IT BACK TO AS NEAR TO NORMAL AS YOU COULD HAVE . I - FOR ONE - WANT TO TELL YOU HOW MUCH I TRULY APPRECIATE THE TIME , WORK , AND THE DEDICATION THAT YOU HAVE PUT INTO GETTING THIS HORSE BACK INTO RIDING AND WORKING CONDITION . I KNOW THAT HE AND HIS OWNER REALLY DO APPRECIATE ALL OF THE HOURS AND HOURS OF SCHOOLING THAT YOU HAVE BEEN THROUGH TO GET TO THIS POINT IN YOUR LIFE .

Didn't realize until I saw your post that you did a heart bar shoe on Valentine's Day--this draft horse got his very own Valentine! Exceptional work. The craftsmanship and skill involved in making a shoe by hand is something that your students will take with them throughout their careers that will make them stand out from other farriers. This horse's hoof already looks 100 times better--please update us as to how he heals in 2 months. Hopefully the horse feels better already.
That was the most amazing piece of craftsmanship I've ever witnessed. What a Masterpiece! I've watched so many different videos of ppl shoeing horses, but this just made me truly appreciate the quality of someone who knows exactly what they are doing. My grandfather was a blacksmith but he died when I was only 7 and I only got to witness his work first hand once. So appreciate all the care these ppl take in doing their trade. Kudos to all of you!!
Love it! Always better to learn something from the bottom up! Adds a deeper understanding to just about anything you can try to learn! My minor in college was photography. Even though digital cameras were basically the standard by that time, we still had to learn all the darkroom processes. From developing our film to making our own prints and fine tuning/editing them in the darkroom.
I came here for the horse shoeing, stayed because you’re a truly incredible blacksmith. Rare to see someone quickly and efficiently make a tool with no grinders or other power tools, just a hammer. Got to the exact shape, size and proportions with just hands and eyeballs.
What an amazing transformation. Love the skills and craftsmanship as much as the way you choose to teach. And this one I would love to see the follow up for.
люблю смотреть Ваши видео. ручная работа это очень ценно, Вы настоящий профессионал, такую красоту сделали на наших глазах из куска металла. думаю, лошадь говорит Вам спасибо). Привет из России. Мы хорошо относимся к нормальным американцам и уважаем людей, работающих руками.
Wow what a pleasure to see so many 'proper' farriers making traditional and bespoke horseshoes... Respect to you all and may you take care of those hooves forever... Forged in Fire eat your heart out, LOL💞🇬🇧
One my other favorite farrier channels talked about why he hand makes shoes a lot, too. He said that it gives him the ability to support the horses in ways that premade shoes sometimes can’t. He also said that he prefers to stock the unmolded bars rather than lug around all of the specialty premade shoes in any size that he might need. That made a lot of sense to me and I think it’s great that you encourage your students to learn it, even if they choose mostly premade shoes in their careers.
Вообще не понимаю людей которые заводят животных без возможности ухаживать. Спасибо вам, что есть такие добрые ЧЕЛОВЕКИ. Это очень большой и нужный труд.
I loved the way the horse stood with his foot on the foot rest - so dainty for a gentle giant. The black smith's skills is mesmorizing and amazing. The owner of the horse does not deserve such a beautiful animal to be so neglected.
Incredible work as always. You’ve made such a fantastic difference to this horse. He/ she is going to feel so much more comfortable and confident with his/her feet. Thank you for the work that you do.
The workmanship of the farriers is fantastic. But also, what impresses me is the patience of the horses whilst the work is taking place on their hoof. Well done to both. x
i was making mental pictures of the horse that how he's showing off to his mates and telling em '' huh look at these shiny new shoes of mine here mannnn '' while t master put his foot on that step there :D :ddd
It's fabulous that you build from scratch. It create a deeper understanding of the craft and superior ability. There's always that exception to the norm. Your students, ate prepared. Instead of trying to force the horse to conform to the norm. Your students understand that normal doesn't really exist and they will treat each client as the individuals they are. And that's the way its done. Thank you for passing on excellence instead of dangerous mediocrity
I have multiple horses. And I watch a ton of these videos. The one thing I can say is that our gentle giants cooperate with all these necessary shenanigans 99.8% of the time. Let’s hear it for the horses. And for the farriers who do the hard work to keep our horses healthy. No hoof, no horse.
Fantastic to see a shoe crafted from bar, been a long time since i have seen this art practiced, last time was over 50 years ago when our mobile farrier used to come and always reheat bar cut and craft a shoe , always a perfect fit, But then he never had to deal with such a badly neglected Hooves , i bet that Vanner / Cob was so grateful and a whole lot more comfortable after you attended to him , I have honestly never seen such a flat footed draft type horse, Great Work
I keep coming back to this channel because of the artistry and the care that goes into each shoe. It's all about making sure the horse will improve and get the support they need.
The horse was in bad shape too😁... gotta watch that auto suggest/ spell check algorithm... has a mind if it's own. Note: The three vertical dots on the upper right hand corner of your comment. If you tap them with your finger, a menu will appear. Tap 'Edit' with your finger and your comment can now be edited for spelling, punctuation etc. using your keyboard. After corrections are made, finger tap the blue arrow on the right. Done deal. 👍
Thank you for teaching the old ways. I believe we will need them for the new earth, back to the olden days. When I was doing my upgrading I told everybody in class that we would be going back to the olden days. They all laughed at me but the way the world is going now I see us going back to those ways. Thank you for the video. It brings hope for me
Even though this horse has not been kindly treated as his feet degraded to this state, he is amazingly patient with the trimming and shoeing process. I hope his life is much better going forward. Such skill - seeing the “before” it is hard to imagine getting to the “after.”
My goodness that was some transformation from a dinner plate slider to a well fitting shoe . I totally agree in learning the skills properly, not all ready made shoes fit or are fit for purpose especially if the foot has problems . Knowledge is a wonderful thing 😍🏴
I am absolutely blown away by the forging of your custom shoes. I've seen you do it a number of times and still come away astounded by your skills in that department.
Coming from a place where farriers use pre-made horseshoes like 99% on the time, it's so amazing to watch these videos and see a horseshoe made from scratch! Beautiful craftsmanship all the way! Thanks so much for these videos!
I understood hooves grew downwards but I didn't know there was a possible variant in Draft Horses, of potentially growing sideways instead. Not giving much to work with. Appreciate your explanation. In an era of supply availability becoming questionable, your students will be well prepared to be able to take on making needed materials from scratch. Thank you for you sound idea of teaching and for creating the confidence to handle things that come their way.
This man is incredible ladies and gentlemen. Wow!!!! His skill is amazing and his knowledge about bourse hoof behavior and good health is HIGH! Wow. I’m so impressed he maybe the best I’ve seen on TH-cam omg I almost forgot. His blacksmithing is top of the class. Easy.
Stunning transformation, would love to have seen him all shod and walking comfortably, but appreciate your work and help for a neglected work horse. He deserved it.
I JUST WATCHED "MAGNIFICENCE IN MOTION", BRAVO on your making that horse a shoe SPECIFICALLY FOR HIS FEET‼️ I'M HAVE ALL OF THE RESPECT FOR YOU AS A MAN WHO CAN USE HIS HAND'S, WITH THE MOST NATURAL OF TOOL'S TO CRAFT SOMETHING I'VE NEVER WITNESSED BEFORE. A GENUINE HORSESHOE MADE FOR ONE BEAUTIFULLY SPECIFIC HORSE. I BELIEVE HE WAS SO HAPPY TO HAVE THAT PERFECT SHOE ON HIS HOOF. I WISH HE'D HAD ALL FOUR OF THEM DONE. HE CERTAINLY DESERVED IT. I DON'T KNOW HOW OR WHAT HIS STORY WAS BEFORE THIS TOOK PLACE, BUT COULDN'T HAVE BEEN GREAT LETTING HIS HOOVES GET SO BADLY, ALMOST LIKE NO ONE WAS TAKING CARE OF HIM. HORSES ARE MY FAVORITE ANIMALS, AND I HATE FOR ANY ANIMAL TO BE MISTREATED, EVER⁉️😳 SO, THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH FOR HELPING HIM GET BACK TO NORMAL AS BEST AS HE CAN. THIS COUNTRY GIRL FROM, ALABAMA IS DEFINITELY COUNTING YOU AS A HERO‼️❤️🤟💋♊♾️🙏✝️🇺🇲🌍 PLEASE KEEP ME POSTED ON HIS HOOVES, ALL (4) OF THEM. HIS HAIR IS SO BEAUTIFUL TOO. IT'S A DREAM OF MINE TO HAVE A FARM, BUT MOM & DAD DIVORCED AND SOLD IT. I'M NOT MARRIED, BUT I'D LOVE TO FIND A HORSE FARM OR RANCH JUST SO THAT I CAN BE AROUND THEM EVERYDAY. YOUR A VERY LUCKY MAN. I'LL BE LOOKING FOR YOUR NEXT VIDEO, SINCE I'M NOW A SUBSCRIBER.❤
Kudos to these farriers for helping fix these horses feet. As well great work on this horse husbandry.the horses don't seem bothered or nervous during this process.
not all of them. I have a Jazz horse who's impossible to shoe. Thankfully he doesn't need it, he has very good hooves naturally. But when I decided to take the shoes off, we had to sedate him as he was willing to fight us over it. It was because his feet hurt badly, he'd been shod wrong. Now he knows that trimming doesn't hurt and it helps him so he's a very good boy now. Well aside from throwing everything he can find, that is.
Wow, what a difference! This horse will definitely feel better now with proper shoes on. Thank you for the video. I hope there will be a future video showing the process to a healthier feet.
I know nothing whatsoever about horses..but what I do know is this man has a passion for, and mastery of his craft. The workmanship is impeccable, and the fact that he teaches his students to make everything from scratch tells me he truly loves sharing his knowledge through teaching. Big ups from New Zealand.
I am amazed how much this trade has changed in 50 years . Just wonderful thing and skillsets you are passing on to the next generation. Bless you. You are very caring to the animals too.
Надо ж так запустить...я далека от этого..но видно как дефармировано копыто...а как неудобно и больно было животному...знает только он.😏😏 Спасибо мастеру, кузнецу за их золотые руки‼️👍👍
What a fantastic video!! Just stumbled on your channel & I’m in awe of you guys! It’s wonderful to see real men doing real men’s work, crafting raw iron into shoes fit for a king!! Bravo to all you men preserving the farriers trade👏👏👏
I have no idea how I got here but what a fascinating video! I had never thought about what goes into making a horseshoe - or the process of trimming the hooves. Wow. It looks very hard on the hands and wrists. I imagine a lot of aching and sore muscles were had in learning this and building up the hand stamina to do this on the daily. Amazing work!

I can’t believe how people neglect these horses hooves. Thank goodness for this gifted blacksmith. Wow he is so good!
Like many times in life. People have no idea what they’re buying
I guess that this hooves were put on before they become so overgrown.

It's got to be satisfying to know your own skill, strength and artistry will help that horse have a more comfortable life. Well done, sir!
The art of a farrier has to be at least 1,000 years old. And it’s still so vital to a horses well-being today. Bravo to all master farriers!❤
More like 3500 years Xenon wrote about horseshoeing around 1000 B. C.
It's older even than that. The Normans had already been shoeing their horses for a long time when they invaded England in 1066.

Hopefully the horse won't be neglected again🍀
Excellent workmanship. Your channel is worth its weight in gold. Thank you👍🇨🇦
Kudos to these farriers for helping fix these horses feet. As well great work on this horse husbandry.the horses don't seem bothered or nervous during this process.
That is pure art with added care.
Such a beautiful horse. Such a shame they neglected him like that.
That poor horse. Thank you for helping him/her.
I'm always amazed how patient these horses are with letting their hooves be handled, scraped, burned, and nailed into.
not all of them. I have a Jazz horse who's impossible to shoe. Thankfully he doesn't need it, he has very good hooves naturally. But when I decided to take the shoes off, we had to sedate him as he was willing to fight us over it. It was because his feet hurt badly, he'd been shod wrong.
Now he knows that trimming doesn't hurt and it helps him so he's a very good boy now. Well aside from throwing everything he can find, that is.
They are trained to have their hooves handled.
They're typically drugged
You guys are angels 😇 God bless you for what you do! 😍
Wow, what a difference! This horse will definitely feel better now with proper shoes on. Thank you for the video. I hope there will be a future video showing the process to a healthier feet.
Very impressed ! True SKILL, FB share this equestrian friends and family in BERMUDA !
I know nothing whatsoever about horses..but what I do know is this man has a passion for, and mastery of his craft. The workmanship is impeccable, and the fact that he teaches his students to make everything from scratch tells me he truly loves sharing his knowledge through teaching. Big ups from New Zealand.
Love the craftsmanship in horseshoe making!
Inspiring blacksmithing! I know the draft horse is a much happier camper with your skilled sensitive work! You helped him so much!
What an artist !
I am amazed how much this trade has changed in 50 years . Just wonderful thing and skillsets you are passing on to the next generation. Bless you. You are very caring to the animals too.
Thank you for having them do their own craftsmanship on the shoes! So many skills are being lost from not sharing so keep it going. 💯
Making handmade shoes is almost a lost art. Nice to see it still in use
Poor horse. Glad you're fixing his/her hooves.
Какой тяжёлый труд! А мастер виртуоз-профессионал!Лошадь получила новые подковы и ноги болеть не будут. Кузнец долгих лет и здоровья!
OMG. Incredible craftsmanship.
Надо ж так запустить...я далека от этого..но видно как дефармировано копыто...а как неудобно и больно было животному...знает только он.😏😏 Спасибо мастеру, кузнецу за их золотые руки‼️👍👍
Кузнецу респект! Просто волшебник.
What a fantastic video!! Just stumbled on your channel & I’m in awe of you guys! It’s wonderful to see real men doing real men’s work, crafting raw iron into shoes fit for a king!! Bravo to all you men preserving the farriers trade👏👏👏
Men? My cousin’s daughter is a very good farrier…!
Love the horse. Thank you for helping it.
Craftsmanship impeccable! The care for the horses is heartwarming. Be Blessed!
Truly beautiful job. I'm sure the horse is grateful.
I have no idea how I got here but what a fascinating video! I had never thought about what goes into making a horseshoe - or the process of trimming the hooves. Wow. It looks very hard on the hands and wrists. I imagine a lot of aching and sore muscles were had in learning this and building up the hand stamina to do this on the daily. Amazing work!
That is the way it should be done!! Excellent school!!
Great Job!! would be interesting sometime to see how you measure hoof and length of barstock for a kind of shoe like this
