I think todays episode should be called "we never give up". Both with Pauly doing all those horses feet, and catching and being kind to Fergie, you guys were so patient with her. She was clearly really really scared. I think once she gets her confidence she is going to be very sweet.
You're so lucky to have Pauly! Most farriers these days won't deal with horses that are uncooperative and some expect absolutely perfect behavior. I can't say that I blame them, but in the world of rescues you get so many in desperate need that haven't been properly trained if handled at all. He's a real gem to put himself through all these inexperienced and sometimes naughty horses and still keep coming back!
Pauly is not a coldhearted man. He has a big heart for horses. He goes in to help those horses no matter what. He is the best!
Thank you for what you do Paulie! And every one else❤ You can tell Paulie loves animals cause no man wants to be rough housed by a 1800 pound animal unless they love it and what they do so anyone that says anything against ya can stuff it.😂
Yeah
There’s not a lot of people that have been kicked into the wall in our soceity today but listen to us that have been subjected
Great job ladies and Pauly. Working with those big guys isn’t easy.👍❤️🐴😊
Whew that Fergie is some horse. Cindy great job in getting that halter on. Poor baby is scared of everything. Cindy and Rae great job on holding on to her every time she bolted! And you Marissa for getting it all on video. Never a dull moment on Pony Tails.
Pauly risking life and limb once again to help the horses. I don't know why anyone would say anything bad about him. All I see is a man who is passionate about helping horses and willing to risk some pretty extreme danger to do it. These horses are not used to proper care and a scared horse is a dangerous horse.
The people that are saying things probably don’t even have horses and have no clue on how hard it is to do the kind of work Pauly does.👍❤️🐴
One hundred percent spot on.
He listens to the critics and the foul mouth bossy people , he does not take it laying down and will fight back with education and the attitude if you think you can do my job, come on and let me see how you do. His critics are a bunch of female Karens and male Karens who have no clue about being a farrier but think they know best. Good job Pauly don't let these jack a --es get to you.
Eeeh, he's just quite rough, 😂😂 I'm sure he has a big heart 💖
I don't own any horses, but I watch in amazement on how he shows so love and care for them and the other staff members do the same. All I can add is thank you for your work and care for these beautiful animals.
I love to watch Pauly do what he knows best: farrier.
First of all Pauly you are the best farrier I’ve ever seen, you have a huge heart and are kind old soul!! Oh sweet Fergie!!
I feel like something has made Fergie this afraid. Don’t the big horse breeders usually move the young ones past the point of such wildness due to the extra danger? Your patience and kindness is wonderful to watch. I feel like Fergie is acting just like a recently caught mustang.
Great job getting Fergie to come around. Persistence and patience all the way.
This horse showed no signs of fear. She did show " I know how to not get caught. Also she showed, I'm bigger and can get my way. In time she will understand what's expected of her, but will probably always be a little hard to catch.
@@SamDoe-zn3tu Her breathing and tension in her rib cage say differently. Not to mention the trembling muscles.
@@ppww6076 Interesting🤔 I will watch again and really look for that.
Good job Pauly! I love watching you work on their hooves! So good! Great video girls. Time and effort to take care of the horses. Dangerous too. ❤
Pauly deserves a medal for the patience he has and the sheer physicality of being a farrier to a bunch of huge horses that won't stand without being tied in the stocks. Don't people who have draught horses ever teach them from young to pick up their feet and have at least have a rasp put around them so they get used to having their feet done? (But then I's suppose it's safer in there, they can't lean him! )He's so good at what he does 🙂 It's a shame that they don't understand what you are ALL doing for them and where they may be now without you.💜PS Did the kittens survive?
Those big drafts are used to a hard time. They fight because its always been scary, getting their feet done, i think. Hopefully, with time and patience like Pauly shows, they will realize its ok to just calm down.
It might be useful to watch some of Steve Young's videos on horse training, especially with the more difficult ones. Good luck!
He has incredible success and his methods are understood by horses.
Yes i love his content ☺️
I was thinking the same thing. Big time.
Phew!!!!! This episode was intense! Bless your hearts... all of you!
Poor baby,it's to bad some has made her feel so uncomfortable around ppl!
She is such a beautiful horse!❤❤❤😮😮
How does your channel not have a bigger following , I think you guys are great.
Seriously!!!!! Spread the word!!!
I’m in Southeastern Pennsylvania,-- so My people would have a rough time getting there. . . Do your best to Share!!! 😊❤
Question: In cases like Fergie, why dont yall just use Monty Roberts' Join-Up method when you had her in the round pen? It would be faster, easier, less stressful. 🤔 🤷♀️
So Friggin’ PROUD of you, and For You!!!
The way your organization has evolved So Quickly is beyond remarkable.
The way Your Team has attracted such educated, passionate,experienced, and talented individuals is a testament to your Drive to Make This Work.
I am Sooo Proud FOR You.
I really like to watch Pauly in about anything.
in ore with all of you.... the compassion you all have, is so wonderful to see...
Pauly is awesome! He's got a tough and dangerous job. He's got a sharp tongue and a great sense of humor. I love your videos. ❤
Nice job you all
I do love this channel. I was raised different i guess. I was taught that if you have nothing good to say then say nothing at all.
Boy oh boy. What arm strength it takes to shoe these drafts.
So glad you were able to get those baby Drafts before any damage was done!!! Not sure how it happened, - and am just Grateful.
They’re gorgeous.
You are all such a wonderful team! Love you all.
Yea Fergie!!!! Wow! Great effort in getting her to the stall.❤...and Sunny's headed home!!!
I can recommend to watch Warrick Schiller and his way of training horses, it's really eye opening, and if you understand it and have "the feel" it makes training those horses so much easier.
And I would also say faster, because they feel safer.
Being a farrier is dangerous work when you’re working with horses you don’t know, especially these rescue horses. Most especially the draft horses. Kudos to Paulie whom I feel is excellent at what he does.
They forgot that "release" follows pressure (not more pressure), when trying to halter Fergie.
Was looking for this comment! As soon as she showed an ounce of draw than back up and relax entire body while turning away. Fergie is a beautiful mare with loads of potential but she's quite weary and sensitive so it's best so use absolute release on her and go in very small increments.
You can almost wonder, because of the way she is acting like she has had a bad experience w/ a human!😮
Wow you guys, you have the patience of Job when it came to placing a halter on Fergie. Well done 👍
Something has to have been done to make Fergie so afraid. And the factr that she is such a huge breed of horse really amps up the danger factor to working with her. Thank you for being so patient and understanding for her. You can tell that Fergie is going to be a good horse, eventually. She seemed curious, but afraid to take that first step into a stall. And, as usual, Pauly, you're the best.
Oh my goodness.. Those kittens are preemies.. no hair..definitely not full term..got to keep them warm..on hot water bottles with fleece covering..2 hrly feeds instead of 4 as they won't be able to take much milk..and hope for the best..l would be suprised if they made it unfortunately l think they're just too early..but fingers crossed 🤞..Freida definitely had no intention of being caught..l just wondered what they did to her to get her to walk into the auction ?.. it makes you wonder doesn't it..and Puppeteer..well that ping pong ball size abcess that Pauly found explains sooo much..Doc couldn't find anything wrong..chiropractor did a few things but she was still not wanting to use that foot and now we know why..once that drys up l bet she'll be a right as rain..and she was returned for that reason..well good because they didn't even bother to find out if there was an issue..he also said her hooves were full of stones..imagine trying to walk on an abcess and a shoe full of stones..hell we'd be limping too.. well done Pauly..Joan Jett..god those feet were overgrown. It must be so darn uncomfortable for them.. Sunny and sweet Iris found their furever homes..but l must admit l have a soft spot for Fred ..l adore a hig Belgian and he is a handsome dude and well behaved too..loved how Cindy and Rae handled Freida..a darn hig horse to control and keep calm..and l don't know the name of the lady who got that harness on..!! GOOD JOB !! 👍 required patience and ingenuity..😊👏👏Another great video. I love it when l get PTR notifications, as l know l can sit..relax and enjoy a long video with you lovely ladies and lads..🇬🇧💕🙏✝️👍👏🐎🐎🐎🇺🇸
I am amazed again of how far you always get with the horses. Rae is such a patient and good trainer herself. I see people recommend this or that trainer below but I feel she/they have that knowledge themselves. I also can imagine with the circumstances, time constraint, they get the job done as fast ast possible, sometimes you have to take a break and always with the well being of the horse in mind. Great job everyone, as always!
Pauly needs to design a nippers for drafts! 😊 Plus you need pullies on your stock.
& maybe some padding where the foot is bent & resting on hard timber!
Poor Paulie! I bet he was sore after this day! My back hurt just watching him. He is a God send!
About the kittens: I think I heard that kittens can’t/shouldn’t be fed when they are cold. They need to be warmed up first. You can check that with a vet, of course.
Fred and iris will be totally gorgeous once their tales grow back in
@@dorcaswatson4873 Unfortunately... their Tails will never grow long and thick, bc they have been cropped, (like they do with some dog breeds) most Amish work horses Tails are cropped, so they don't get caught up in there Work Harness/Tack, also can help keep manure off it while on the job. ☹️
Thank you for sharing.🐴
Well done guys
Good job guys, wouldn't have wanted to be in your shoes handling her! Amazing what you do.
This is a.really cute idea!!❤❤😂😂😂
Wonderful work you do with those giants.
Curious: do the short tails ever grow back?
Not all the way since they have cut of much of the tail bones 😢 but a bit more length will grow out (but will never get thick and "beautiful"). I'm so glad I live in a country where it's against the law to cut of their tails.
@@theblindbunnykenzie wow just wow. I did not know that.
Lots of big horses Paul took on awesome to watch, stay safe 👍❤💪 you ladies amazingly got that harness on awesome stuff to watch an learn,👍❤💪😉
Brilliant! Superb! Awesome! Well done! So much accomplished. Fergie should be Heart as it looks like she has a heart on its side on her forehead! So good watching that. x
Great job Pauly!
Pauly, you're so amazing and caring. Thank You for all you do. Sadly we struggle in our area to find any farrier let alone a good one, and same for vets. Although there is Cornell U, they are super expensive and are not reliable. Our area is full of snobs and instead of being in care services for the animals they are only in it for the money. We could really use good hearted farrier and vet people in the Finger Lakes region of NY!!! Desperately!!!
For the kittens you can rub them with a soft washcloth to warm them and get circulation going, and let them sleep with a heating pad that stays on a pretty low heat with a layer between the babies and the pad. That will help warm them at least. I hope Butterscotch takes them in, but cats will reject kittens that have unseen problems. You may be handraising some of them. I feel so sad for those babies, but happy they have you all.
Fergie can't be caught so easy. She's not really getting a release from all that pressure. When she looks at the handler with both eyes (as she did multiple times), the handler should back away a few steps to release the pressure. Otherwise, you are just stacking pressure upon pressure.
Beautiful drafts!!!!
Another fun video. Rae's patience is phenomenal!
Great work 👏
If I was in the US I would have Fergie in a heartbeat. Even though she was absolutely terrifed she tried so hard not to panic blast. I hope being in the stall and seeing everyone come and go helps her relax and release her fears. She a sweetie under all that trembling.
What patience!!!! 👏👏👏
❤😊
Wow, I think Fergie gets some major meds before Pauli works on those feet. Unless Pauli thinks it would be good to get squashed shorter.
Quarantine sure did put some weight on the heavies. Looking good!
I love big draft horses living in uk 🇬🇧 there are not many now unlike when I was growing up these big horses have had a hard life but you can see they are gentle they are just scared as all they have known is people mean pain
Pauly go's beyond 2 help horse 🐎 in need &has a big heart ❤️
Horses are creatures of pressure and release. Even eyes looking directly at them or open hands that represent claws to them will make them react poorly. With time most horses will come around, but the professionals have worked out most of the mistakes we humans make. The girls are doing okay though. It's a learning process.
Loud noises are Horrific with PTSD.
Clanking gates all over the place?!? Unexpected handling?!? Being confined in a small area and having people Coming At you?!?
Terrifying.
I felt her panic,-- and WHY.
Was one of the Hardest things I ever had to learn when handling Thoroughbred’s. . . When they Panic, - you walk Toward them, and calm them.
Was terrifying at first,-- then I got Really Good at calming panicked horse.
Was a real learning experience.
Was so scary,-- then so rewarding.
Wow, that was some amazing handling of Fergie!
You guys are woorth your weight in gold with some of these horses. Talked about spirited!!!
Stand in THE middle and HAVE HER COME TO YOU
Thankyou!!!!!!!!
Patience is EvErYtHiNg!!!
That was a bit painful to watch.
Do the Amish take no time with shoeing these drafts? All of them are basically terrible. Why?????
More they might diy but don't have formal training... Disaster
Why because the amish have nothing to do with the world outside their community
Great video!
How does Pauly cope with all that abuse from the horses ,he must have the patience of a saint and a great love for horses ,he does a wonderful job ❤
The time to teach a horse to lead isn't when you need to lead them. Same with trimming their feet. She needs time to learn ground manners before forcing a trim on her. I have had 4 cast off horses that people gave up on or never really cared about. They do take time and for me, it's been very rewarding giving them a job and a life. Fergie needs a lot of approach and retreat. I could see she was really trying to find the answer. Great video.😊
Another great episode thanks, liked the headcollar trick with Fergie 👍🙂
Does Fergie have DSLD because her feet sound like she’s paddling the ground when she runs. I can’t see her close enough to see if she’s got that. Good job Cindy getting that halter on her. You’re the most patient one you have all these little tricks.
We have wondered about her fronts. We will be having the vet take a look.
Also a strip of duct tape hanging on nose does wonders. They try so hard to get it off they forget about feet
Fergie thought that being lead up the barn was pretty scary but she did a good job getting there
Question …do the amish in that area raise their drafts? Do they understand maintenance of draft care? Or are they just beasts of burden to them?
The horses from some of the Amish are so neglected and mistreated. It breaks my heart.
The amish have no compassion for the horses they are just a tool for them
❤
Beautiful dangerous girl. Who mistreated them so?
love hoof trimming videos, but those drafts are the next thing, so much power and then the creaking stock, oeefff scary. I won t complain as much about my tb pulling his foot back
If she wants to run run around the round pen
Ok if she turns and walks away get her to Lunge around the ring until she stops on her own and looks at you. Then walk towards her if she takes off again then repeat the process. She will let you come up to her. She just needs to see you are the lead of the pack.
Unfortunately, that does not work for Fergie. Something has her completely terrified of people. She's definitely had some bad experiences with them, so working with her takes a different approach.
Gotcha she needs a lot of work. Hopefully the people that adopt her will understand that and truly will treat her right. They're gonna have to have the patience of Job
Also, could you tell the owner?I forgot her name and I've watched almost all of your videos
To suggest getting walkie-talkies for all the staff. That way if 1 person is out in the field and they find themselves in a precarious situation they have someway to get help. For instance the horse that slipped and got stuck under the fence. She wouldn't have to come back to the barn and leave that baby stuck by herself.
I thought the second handler was very kind with pressure and release, taking as long as it took. :)
Fergi missing her mama . She reminds me of my Appy colt we bought back in 91 he was 16 months old and still with his mama and when we got him home from the auction he immediately attached himself to our QH mare Cinnamon who was 9 years old and much bigger than he was. We had to teach him through her. He acted the same way fergi is. never man handled. Like a wild stallion
An advice.
Never keep a rope behind your back.
Be open and honest about your plans.
I wish I had the property to take on a horse again. I would take Fergie in less than a second. That mare needs daily and consistent work, I've worked with many like her and worse. She's super sweet and just running scared, I've had ones that will actively charge and attack out of fear. Breaks my heart to see such a sweet horse in this mental state. I wish I was close enough to volunteer my time and work with your difficult cases like her, it's hard to give the consistency needed when there's so many that need help.
I wish someone would invent better farrier equipment so they wouldn't have to strain so much. I myself have done a little trimming and the strength it takes to cut through some hooves is ridiculous! With all we know I am actually surprised we couldn't make cutters that take less effort to cut. ugh
I hope Pony Tales is able to provide Pauly with health insurance and sort and long term disability policies.
I thought you were supposed to keep them quietly moving until you see the licking and chewing. . . Then maybe a bit more time until they turn in and “Join Up”.
Cross signals here with Fergie. Pressure is ON!!!
Keep her Moving!!! 😊❤
Other than size is there any difference trimming a hoof between a draft horse and a riding horse?
I really hope those orphaned kittens are adopted by the mother cat. Can we get an update? I'd honestly be surprised if the littlest one survives, but Pauly going out for kitten formula in the night makes him even more of a hero than he already was in my eyes.
Fergie is gonna be a CHALLENGE to train. But I think she's probably pretty smart and will catch on quickly once she understands she's safe with you. She seems to be more than just unhandled. I think she's been abused by someone who made a really bad attempt at "training" her with brutality then gave up and dumped her at auction when he failed. I bet she was drugged at auction.
The kittens did not make it :(
@@PonyTalesRefuge Aww, I was afraid of that. I'm so sorry. I know you guys and Pauly and his wife tried. 💔
Iris is a real handful. 😊❤
I love her spirit and contrariness!!!
My favorite so far 😊✌️
Don't let Fergie rest in the round pen. Shes getting her reward and release of pressure by standing with her butt to you. Good persistence on your part though.
Those are 2 beautys in the roundpen.
pauly needs massage and spa😁
Farriers wear some sort of protective gear "down there" to protect the family jewels, right?
If a nail goes through where they weren't expecting and there's no protection in the area, it can pierce the thigh artery (which is close to the surface of the skin on the inner thigh) and cause someone to bleed out in minutes. And that's just one of the purposes the protection serves, rather than it being for one singular purpose alone.
No idea if anyone will read this, but I have heard about cans of fruit lick for horses which people use to distract and also keep horses focused as fariers are doing hooves,
Pauly for president.
Watch john lyons lue scarrit and pat perrilie it will help greatly and best wishes!
😍😍😍😍
Georgie is so pretty-almost a palomino. Auto correct apparently not familiar with the name Fergie.
If you put them in with her babies she will take care of those kittens. Cats nurse anything
