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.
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.
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
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!!
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
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 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.
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.
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.
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.
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!
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.😊
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.
Astonishing! These guys are sculptors as much as anything else. I could watch this all day. I was an electrician for high tech and heavy industrial projects for my career. If I wasn't so danged old I'd start fresh and learn this extraodinary craft. Wow!
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.
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 .

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
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.
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.
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👏👏👏
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.”
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.
I thought the same thing... it was like pedicure day at the horse spa. LOL. These poor animals depend so much on regular care, and really suffer when they don't receive it.
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.
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.
Вообще не понимаю людей которые заводят животных без возможности ухаживать. Спасибо вам, что есть такие добрые ЧЕЛОВЕКИ. Это очень большой и нужный труд.
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.
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.
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
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.
Lovely job and this craft helps horses so much, especially one's who have been neglected. So good now that hoof will be rejuvenated back to it's former glory.
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.
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'm in IT and have absolutely zero involvement with livestock of any kind, but I still enjoy watching skilled craftsmen performing and especially passing down their talents. Well done! Even this city slicker can tell the huge difference and the benefit your work will have for that horse.
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!
As a human who currently has a horrific fracture and broken ankle, who cant walk. My appreciation of what your doing for these horses is deeper than you can imagine. While the horse may not love you at this moment you have forever changed thier lives and therefore will hold you in thier hearts❤️🩹💞. This school is incredible thank you for keeping the trade alive
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💞🇬🇧
What a wonderful display of true craftsmanship. That poor horse has been given some extra years. I hope he has been retired. A work of love. Lovely to see the actual shoe made. My horses also were shod with handmade shoes many years ago. This is a fabulous school.
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
Well done. Was a pleasure to sit here and watch a True Craftsman at his work to help this poor horse out.. Shame on the owner for the Neglect and Abuse given to this horse !!!
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‼️👍👍
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
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.
You guys are Amazingggggg!!!!!! taking in consideration of each horse to suit it's needs rather than a generic fit to all shoe🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌💓🙏 Thankfull for you guys out there 🙌🎉🎊
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. 👍
Another favorite farrier I follow highlighted the benefits of handcrafting shoes, citing enhanced support for horses. He also emphasized the practicality of carrying unmolded bars over a range of specialty premade shoes. It makes sense, and I admire your encouragement for students to learn this skill, even if they mainly use premade shoes in their careers.
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.
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.
I didn't have a clue. The craftsmanship is incredible!❤
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.
Such a good baby, just standing there patiently for you. You can just tell he's a good boy!
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 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.
I learned how on TH-cam and some overly generous horses. They actually like it now
An absolute artist with that iron. Takes a lot of strength and a lot of knowledge to do something that good

Well done. Was a pleasure to sit here and watch a True Craftsman at his work to help this poor horse out.. Shame on the owner for the Neglect and Abuse given to this horse !!!
Love the wrench trick to mark your fullering.
Это же просто злорово! Как приятно смотреть на кузнеца и мастество его. Спасибо, Творцу, что не перевелись такие люди
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‼️👍👍
Thank you for the care you took of this ol boy. It’s hard to watch and I just hope he gets to a loving, caring home ❤
Love that ur keeping the old school craft going !
This blacksmith is absolutely amazing all the work he puts into those shoes.... Thumbs up to you buddy You're one of the best.....
nice to see people still taking pride in there work
We love what we do! Thanks for watching!
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
This was absolutely fascinating to watch, thank you for sharing with us. 💖
😍😍🤩🤩😱😻❤❤❤adoro este trabajo, el de ¡¡¡manicura de equinos!!!! Bello, bello❤
Fantastic ! Enjoyed watching and learning 🐎
Nothing like watching a true craftsman work.
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.
You guys are Amazingggggg!!!!!! taking in consideration of each horse to suit it's needs rather than a generic fit to all shoe🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌💓🙏
Thankfull for you guys out there 🙌🎉🎊
Whoever let that horse get that way should be fined.
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. 👍
I agree with you. He should be fined and arrested
Usually see this around here on Amish horses...
Not only fined but warned and monitored. If they begin neglecting another animal, they should be barred from owning any animals.
Wow. Is this this communist section?
It is a pleasure to watch a true craftsman at his work. When it happens to benefit a deserving animal, that makes it 100 times better.
Making handmade shoes is almost a lost art. Nice to see it still in use
Incredible craftsmanship 👍. If only today's cars and appliances were made with the same quality of work.
Золотые руки у кузнеца. Дай бог тебе здоровья и долгих лет счастливой жизни с большим уважением к вашей работе.
Another favorite farrier I follow highlighted the benefits of handcrafting shoes, citing enhanced support for horses. He also emphasized the practicality of carrying unmolded bars over a range of specialty premade shoes. It makes sense, and I admire your encouragement for students to learn this skill, even if they mainly use premade shoes in their careers.
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.
I really mean this even though it's a pun as well.
Nailed it!
Wonderful to be improving the quality of life for this magnificent animal. Thank you. ❤
Вы лекарь и мастер. Молодец.
