  • Michael Wildenstein, Certified Journeyman Farrier (CJF), demonstrates the steps to shoeing the rear hoof of his Perchron Pat.
    MIchael begins this lesson with an explanation of when and why one uses horse shoes with shoe clips. He shows the toe clip, quarter clip and side clip shoes. One uses these clips because they
    stabilize the shoe
    take stress off the horseshoe nails
    The rear hoof tends to shift towards the inside and also needs more traction. The horse shoe clips help with this.
    He then explains the different types of horseshoe nails and that nails are made specifically for a type of shoe to fit tightly.
    E-Head horseshoe nails - square
    City Head horseshoe nails - rectangular
    Then Michael goes through all his farrier tools and explains what they are used for:
    Tongs - sized for the thickness of the shoe
    Hot tongs - holding shoes hot out of the forge
    Punches
    Pritchel
    Creaser
    Shoeing box (farrier tool box on wheels)
    Hammers
    Anvil (wide horned for horseshoe shaping and large wide base to fit
    shoes. He recommends 150 pounds or more.
    Vice
    Safety Glasses
    Hoof pick and brushes
    Hoof knife with pick
    Loop knife for cleaning the frog
    Rasps - new ones used just on hoofs
    older warn ones for rasping cold metal
    oldest ones for rasping hot metal.
    Large butcher brush for brushing slag and cleaning used shoes.
    Michael demonstrates using his forge and anvil to reshape his Percheron Pat's rear shoe to fit perfectly. He then rasps the shoe to clean it up and bevel the horseshoe edges so they will not do any damage to the horse.
    Next Michael applies the horseshoe in the following steps:
    1. Apply the shoe and hammer nails partially in place.
    2. Nail shoe nails in completely.
    3. Use clinches to make sure nails are at
    90 degrees to the hoof.
    4. Use rasp to file all the nails to the same length
    5. Using clincher, bend all the nails down to tighten.
    6. Complete the job with a final rasp to smooth everything.

      Usually horse owners would not put shoes on themselves. They would call a farrier like this man to do it as it is a long learning process and needs lot of experience :) Have a great day :)

    I don't know how I got here, but it was a pleasure to watch and learn from such a skilled blacksmith. Years ago I did some show jumping and hunter pace events, but never set a shoe.

    Interesting. Doing a deep dive on hooves tonight lol. Do horses seem to care about their new shoes? Do they seem to like them, or dislike them? Like, I wonder if they realize what is happening when they are being shoed.

    I nailed iron on over thirty thousand horses most of it was done in 17 years the rest of it was done the last 20 years only horses that I've had in cutting horse training one thing I noticed about you during your horse was that the middle of your shoes should always be at the point of your frog and yours is to the side

    How long does it take to change a horseshoe on all four legs?

    How much does it cost to shoe a horse? Do they get paid per shoe, yearly daily?

    How often is a horse re-shoed?

    So, why the leather inserts on the front but not the hind hoofs? This guy seems like the type of person who doesn’t do anything without a very good reason.
