My rescue horse had a split that went into the coronary band. It took over a year to get the split closed and he had to wear shoes the rest of his life. His knee was also a mess on that side. He went down over a hedge Fox hunting. (No foxes ever hunted, just a scent bag used) The farrier and I spent many hours together. He couldn’t be ridden properly but my daughter was slim and experienced and exercised him in a sand ring at the walk and slow trot. We had to be safe that he wouldn’t reinjure the knee. She also would lie on his back in warm weather and read. Best horse ever. I used him to teach ground work to students.
@Deb Shaw I'm not an expert and just curious, is (No foxes ever hunted, just a scent bag used) mentioned because it's a good thing no foxes get hurt, or mentioned to make a point that the poor horsie had trouble with his leg his whole life, all because of chasing a stupid symbolic scented bag?

Oh they know. Horses are trained young to be ok with this, and they know its going to feel great when the farrier is done. That being said, I'm not sure this is a job I could do, that horse hoof being where it is, if they get upset for some reason, oh boy. And oh gosh if its a guy doing the work, can't imagine what could happen there.
Goddamnit man. Why is fixing, tending, maintaining, etc. hooves, so ftraking relaxing to watch?!?! It just appeared on my suggestions and now its what I only watch whenever I get so bored.
Neat job with great attention to the finish. Nice to watch a master at work! I'm a non-horsey person so was wondering if you ever need to restrain a skittish horse or mule in a crush, supposing one is available?
Can't imagine that happens to often if the horse has had any level of human interaction before, they are trained young to be ok with this, and it feels good to have done. If the horse is really skittish having its owner that they trust with them is likely enough to calm them. However, if the horse was badly abused physically, the best course of action would likely be for a veterinarian to sedate them so the farrier can do their work and also examine the animal. Would be much less stressful for the horse I would think.
Crushes aren’t made for horses. Horses don’t like being trapped and this is important to understand. Crushes would do the opposite of calming a horse. One of my jobs is teaching skittish and formerly abused horses to be calm. It’s hard work but satisfying. Some horses still need a little something to be calm, but mostly we teach horses to be okay around a farrier, just like you teach your dog you don’t have to like the vet, but you should behave.
@@apveening In the nearly 8 years I've been riding and rehabbing, I've never seen a twitch used on a skittish or abused horse. Twitches actually CAUSE pain (it injures the horse) to release endorphins, which those of us that speak horse would never ever do to a horse that has seen abuse, is new to farrier-work or is skittish. Physical restraint of any kind is more likely to result in an explosive horse (one that kicks, rears, bites, etc.) That's why I have always ALWAYS gone the route of least resistance - treats, positivity, love and a break when I notice them getting overwhelmed. A twitch may be used by other horse people, but it's not used by my coach or any of my teammates. There are easier and more effective methods than something that painful. Their mouths are extremely sensitive.
I had a mare with a similar defect on the medial side from an old injury, but it was never infected. She stayed sound barefoot until she was in more regular work, shoeing with standard keg shoes gave her enough support to keep her comfortable.
Can someone explain how this happens to a horse hoof? Is it just something that can happen to any horse? Infection causing the crack, or neglect? Really curious to know, and also, whats the outlook for this horse? Will it recover from this and be good as new?
as far as I know, cracks can start at the bottom and slowly work up the hoof. because it takes a while for cracks like that to work their way up its probably neglect that allowed it to become so large. and because the hoof is extruded much like a fingernail over time the hoof will grow back in solid
@@Quasar0406 Interesting to know. So basically if you are inspecting your horses hooves as you should, you'd notice the crack starting and it can be easily dealt with at that point? Guessing it's some what typical for a crack to start where the nails come through? Good to know that since this horse finally got the attention it needed they will be ok.
This horse appears to have an old injury to the coronet band above the hardened hoof wall. The CB generates hoof wall growth. If the CB is permanently scared hoof wall growth is altered. This hoof will always grow in such a way. I saw no infection at all and most of the time hooves like this are NOT lame. This is however a rather significant scar. Beautiful forge work though! Possible only needed due to the heavy weight of this horse? 1200+? That crack was not infected. Infection is normally the cause of acute lameness.
It could be an old injury that got infected by thrush or thrush that caused the crack. Every case is not caused by neglect. As an equestrian, I know how hard it can be to catch thrush early before it causes some damage. That’s why it’s important to know your horse really well. Once you take on multiple horses, it can be harder to note differences. I’m extremely lucky that I care for just my lesson horse, so I detect thrush very easily.
This is just amazing. So wonderful to see the care and dedication given to the horses. It's fascinating to watch the shoes being made. And the shoes themselves are so different to what I have been used to seeing. Gidday from Australia 🇦🇺 😍 😊
This special shape is called heart bar (is in the title) and it is used to help cure hoof deformities. In about 3 or 4 reshoeings, the hoof will be ready for a more "traditional" shoe.
7:52 Why are you make divots under the nail end? Seen many hooves done but never seen this. I know you clip/trim the nail ends but I've just never seen that procedure before. 🙂
In cases like this do you anesthetize the horse at all or do you depend on the horse's feedback to determine how far to go? Seems like both ways have merit.
Anesthetizing horses has its disadvantages and most farriers have neither the equipment nor the licenses for it, so usually that isn't done for things like this. If a horse has to be calmed down, usually a twitch ( en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twitch_(device) ) is used.
How did you fix cracks before the drummel tool was an option? Could you use a knife and/or file to get in there or was there another tool you could use?
I gotta say whoever this guy is he knows his stuff! I have watched so many videos on farrier work this is the first time l have seen someone make a shoe without over lapping the center piece .. wow! 👍👍
I think it's a shame that the owner let that crack get to that point, now it's going to be some time before that foot is sound. You done a great job, especially considering what you had to work with! 🐎👍🇺🇸
It looks more like an old injury to the coronary band; in which case the crack is being created at the top of the hoof and migrating down. The coronary band seems to be having trouble growing healthy new hoof material.
Let's not judge the owner because we don't know the situation. We don't know if the horse is new to the owner, if the owner is new to horse ownership, et cetera et cetera et cetera. I had to legally leave my rehab horse behind which was awful as I just had her cantering for short spurts and she was loving life. When I was able to bring her back to her home, she couldn't walk and her spirit was broken because of the people who cared for her took poor care of her. Her hooves were so overgrown as well; the farrier took off 3". My coach, her owner and I decided it was probably best to retire her and we did. Stop judging. I still regret having to leave that horse behind when I had to. We had a very special bond.
I've only seen horseshoes shape like a U. Why did this horseshoe have the closed back with that v shape? Because of the split or different shaped hoves? Does each hove get the type or shape shoe where one horse could have each different?
What causes cracking, especially when they wear shoes to prevent hoof damage? I cringe every time you apply a red hot shoe to the hoof. I'm amazed that they don't get burned. I love these videos, thank you for sharing. How did the hoof go, did it heal? 😊❤🙏🇦🇺🐨
Why is there never a follow-up video on if it healed up or not? Because I can tell you from my experience that coronary band is scarred you might get rid of the infection but that scar is pretty much never going to go away, there's always going to be a split on that hoof he's probably going to have to keep shoes on forever, and is the horse sedated because I seen you get real close with that Dremel and he jerked his foot, and I'm just wondering if the horse was sedated
If this is a school, is the ferrier we see doing the work the/an instructor? Amazing that there don't seem to be any nerves coming down to where the rotary tool with the pointed stone was 'drilling' out the infected material.

@@blackmonday738 no. Otherwise they might be too ashamed to bring them in, and we couldn't enjoy watching them get help... and learn. These majestic beasts sure are tough and trusting.
@@blackmonday738 Something like this doesn’t seem like neglect. It seems more like they couldn’t find a farrier who was as good as IHS.
I never realized how much work went into shoeing a horse especially I didn’t know that you made the shoe from scratch!!! Well done work!!
Most shoes are not made from scratch. They come in sizes almost like human shoes, then are modified to fit exactly.
I think they're making them from scratch because this is a ferrier school.
@@CriaAndKiddFW Also because this may be a special shoe.
Skilled ferriers know how to make their own shoes. That spin on the anvil was nice. 👌 Not all ferriers are skilled.
