hi i was afarrier for 45 years it is great to see how much our profession has evoled and improved all it needs know is for owners of horses to apreciate how a good farrier can enhance ahorse life instead of looking at how cheap they can get it shod a good farrier is alife suppurt to a horse
I give him a lot of credit for going so slowly. You can see that he really cares about the horse! He wants to fix it, but he also takes into consideration the pain! God bless this man!
Да, человек знает, что делать, медленно, но уверенно восстановил лошади копыто, причём лошадь почти не шевельнулась, а ведь ей было больно, и он знал это и сделал все профессионально!!!! 👍👍👍
That horse gave him a lot of trust and it was beautiful to see that trust building with each respectful move. That speaks well of them both. He had to keep her foot up quite a while and he was messing with painful parts. This is a master class on what a horse should be trained to behave as much as how a farrier should behave. The difficulty is that farriers often get paid by the head or hoof. Problems take time to treat poorly and it takes even more time to treat them properly. Farriers need the opportunity to be good to your horse and they should be treated and paid accordingly. Demanding, stingy or argumentative owners' horses cost more to work on than owners who are polite and respectful. Dickering over each dollar comes out of the care your horse receives. Not only that, but if you want high-quality work in the future, one must grant time and money for good work, but ALSO for training to do this quality of work. Beginners are not disposable. They are the next generation of expert farriers. Expertise costs money to get and to keep. That's money that is often not considered by owners and even sometimes by farriers, themselves. These videos could be used to give owners an idea of what a good farrier does but also what a good farrier is Worth. I understand that master farriers might prefer to keep specifics between themselves and their customers. But, I think it would be a good way to support all farriers if people could have an idea how much they should expect to pay for similar service and give common reasons the costs might be lower or higher in those situations. Owners would also benefit from knowing how to give the farrier an atmosphere to get the most from the shoeing experience. I have watched some pretty contentious interactions over the years and it hurts the entire facility when these happen.
Im addicted to watching these types of vids, and I don't even own a horse. Basically just molded a new hoof out of J.B. Weld. This was so satisfying to watch
The economy of his movements, the sure and steady strokes and repetition from experience and skill, are a kind of body language, conveying confidence through touch. I'm sure she feels that, knows she's in good hands, and it calms her. Each horse is different, of course, but most of them (especially those who have known good care) have a kind of wisdom and seem to know when they're in the hands of someone who knows what they're doing. They're an intelligent species, not of the same exact type as our own, but when you look into their eyes, you know there's something consequential looking back at you. Beautiful creatures! They deserve our very best care, and that's exactly what they're getting here!
This is the first time I’ve seen a farrier treat a horse and I could see his skill as an unspoken language. He has a heart. I can feel it. I’m glad he could help alleviate some pain so healing can take place. What happened to cause this? No shoes? No maintenance?
Seriously, y’all are ARTISTS, not just farriers! I love how much YOU love what you do, as it’s so apparent with how gentle, soothing, & patient you are with these majestic creatures! I grew up with horse, & competed in equestrian shows for almost 20 years, so I know, for a FACT, how incredibly important it is to have a ‘GREAT’ ferrier, like YOU, taking care of our beloved animals! Thank you for all you do for them, you’re an angel on earth! ❤️
Are these rescue horses? Because the condition of their hooves is mind boggling. It’s been a long time between trims and honestly who lets their horses hooves get this bad in the first place. Thank you for making these horse feel much more comfortable.
Has to be rescue horses and hopefully they put this farrier on schedule where he comes out regularly cause you will save money in the long run if you do that cause if you skip 2 or 3 shoeing then the farrier will charge you alit more but if he comes out regularly then the price is alot cheaper so to everyone with horses keep your horses on a schedule with the right farrier you'll save money in the long run..
@@lisaalene They can be quite expensive but maybe there are some riding stables near you where you can ride but not have all the expense of owning a horse.
Holy cow that was amazing how he repaired that, I was not expecting it to look like that when it was all finished. So cool to watch and learn, I would have loved growing up with horses and a farm
I love a good farrier. Someone who not only does their job well, but takes great care in the horse's comfort and health. I'm sure that horse felt a lot better after he worked on her.
I'd like to compliment the camera person, excellent job on getting in at the different angles and constantly adjusting to give us the best views. Gold star to you. Quite an interesting video. The farrier, obviously, is quite knowledgeable. God bless.
Horses are so beautiful. I'd love to spend my free time looking after one or helping out somehow. I grew up in the country but have lived most of my adult life in the city. I can't wait to retire soon and reconnect with horses.
What an absolute legend. The amount of hours this man must have to make it seem so effortless. This video is proof of what sets humans apart from other creatures on the planet.
Fascinating to watch an experienced farrier at work , doing his best for the horse . I still like to hang around and watch the farrier at work after forty yrs . . Great job 👏
Thank you for saving this horse! What on earth was the owner thinking not caring for this horse!? Injuries and problems can happen but it’s how you respond to them that saves or loses the day ongoing most of the time. Healing is a time and effort involved process.
Sadly, we get horses all the time through our farm because people come to us asking if we want a horse. Sometimes, we take them and they look like death warmed over. We put weight on them, try them out with the lesson kids and if they won't work, we sell them. But since prices dropped, people think "Hey, we can afford a horse!" Until they wonder why they can't keep weight on or it's wasting away and someone has to step in to save it. And we're not even a rescue.!
Absolutely beautiful work!!! You are a truly kind and gentle man to be able to fix that hoof like that! I bet if the horse could talk he would be thoroughly thanking you! Bless you and your knowledge and kindness! 💞
That old saying, "No Foot, No horse.", is very appropriate here. What this farrier did? He is worth his weight in gold for saving that horse. In a year, you won't be able to tell it was the same horse. Very well done and nice to see Sir, I thank you. As a Horse Rehabilitator and Brood mare monitor, I was glad to see this video. Made my day! Many Blessings to you and Stay Safe!! From Ontario, Canada, Jenn.
Jennifer Lehman, you answered one of my questions,,one year.thank you very much.Now I would like to know,how often does the farrier come back to check his work,and,approximately how much per visit?? Thank you!
@@stevehamman4465 Depends on the time of year. In the Spring and Summer months the Farrier usually comes out every 6 weeks for a trim and reset of shoes, for therapy reasons or showing, and in the Fall and Winter, the hoof growth slows down. So then you can sometimes go to 8 or 10 weeks between visits. As for price, that is up to the Farrier to decide as to how much work he must do per horse. With my 3, it would cost me 135 Canadian dollars each visit. And only 1 horse was showing, but with the ice and snow, in the Winter, all were shod with corks to help them grip the ice. Come Spring and Summer, only 1 horse was shod all 4 feet, (or all around), but that horse was competing. The other 2 had their shoes pulled off and they went barefoot, no shoes, until the first big frost. But cost is dependent on the Farrier. I wasn't boarding my horses anywhere, but had I been, the cost could have been lower if the Farrier was working on other horses in the barn. I hope this helps!! Have a great weekend Steve, and Stay Safe!!!
It amazes me how much of the hoof wall can be removed, and the horse can still walk. A question I have is....with this type of repair, does the horse have limits to its natural behavior? Is it permitted to self-limit running in pasture? Or is it confined to a stall/ s m all turnout area?
@@terrywereb7639 No, eventually this farrier added a fiber glass piece over where the abcess was, so there was no limitations on his ability to be ridden or put in a pasture without any worry of dirt getting in and causing any more issues. Hope this answered your question. Have a great day and weekend!! From a Retired Paramedic, and a person who Rehabilitates horses from injury or surgery. Jenn 💖
A real pro doing such a wonderful job for the horse. Admire such a fellow really knowing his job and so experienced. Well done and such a sweet horse. That hoof will soon be fully recovered.
You, sir, are AMAZING! WOW!! You certainly are a God send to this babe! There are soo many, that don't get care for, and unfortunately, as you know, they have to be euthanized! 💔😰 God Bless you and may you spend, the rest of your life helping our beautiful equines! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! I get overwhelmed watching your talent in motion! Incredible!!!❤️🙏🙏🤗
It seems to me that they understand how much you care for them and that is priceless!!!!he ,she feel like my sister when she goes to de pedicure dreamless you are awesome 🫢🔴🤫
Thank you for posting this. I had no idea there was something that could be done for horses with these kinds of hoof problems. God bless your efforts.❤️
You might like the filing down of horses teeth. Unfortunately they have to put a noose twitch on the patient. Horses don't like it but better than a chunk out of a human.
You forgot a very important step... Me giving her hugs and kisses to make it better, after the repair lol. She's soooo beautiful. I love horses, although I don't know much about them. I just know they're majestic, beautiful, kind and noble. 💕 Thanks for helping her :)
The owner of this horse needs to be told what he did wrong so this poor horse doesn't have to go through this again. Maybe the horse needs to be taken away from the owner. The farrier did an amazing job. Thank you for helping this beautiful horse!
They brought in both a vet and a farrier, they said it was most likely that she stepped on a rock and it formed an abscess, it happens all the time. If the owner was being negligent the video wouldn’t exist because they wouldn’t have gotten it taken care of.
One time I bent my fingernail back and it cracked almost down at the cuticle. It didn’t break off, it only cracked! So everytime I used that finger it would pull apart a little and it hurt SO BAD😢 I bet that’s exactly how Annabelle feels when she walks! My mom fixed me up until it grew out just like you did for this beautiful girl! ❤
I hate finding videos like this. I never find them during the day, always at night. And not I'm really interested and gonna end up awake half the night learning about horse hooves and horse shoes and such lol.
Awesome!... From what I learned and thank you for showing this!... It opened my eyes to understand why you may need to do to keep these horses healthy!
Amazing work that you've done. Thank you for showing what can be done to help with such damage. Would like to see any follow ups if possible to see how things progress. Thank you for sharing this with us, extremely educational and interesting.
We will be following up so keep an eye on our Facebook page and YT. I hope we get her back in before the end of April. Glad you enjoyed it and thank you for the feedback.
Difficult and tricky case. Well managed especially given the owner's failure to have the horse seen to timely after the first farrier stabilized. Bang up job.
I kept thinking... there has to be some kind of hard gel or acrylic they can use, similar to human nail restoration.... and then out comes the Vettec and other epoxy. So happy she'll be able to walk and run without pain!
Thank goodness this was treated by a great farrier. The owners should not have left it for this horse to suffer. The poor horse. The phrase “no foot, no horse” springs to mind
This horse blew an abscess. It could have been at the coronary band and it had to grow out, or half way down the hoof. What this farrier did was amazing to keep this horse sound and not going lamanitic, which it so easily could have done. I rehabilitate horses from injuries. I work very closely with the Surgeons, Veterinarians, Farriers, Nutritionists and the owners to get their horses sound and competing again. Sometimes it takes me a year to accomplish that goal. But working as a TEAM, we accomplish the goal we set out to do. Even if the horse never competes again and becomes a brood mare, I'm still involved. As I'm the one who delivers the foals. I did a trick I learned at the breeding barn. I grabbed a full and sealed water bottle, I then tied it up with her membranes while she was still contracting. The placenta came away, and I put it in a bucket for the vet to check, as she is a narrow hipped mare. He told me I did everything correctly when he arrived at the barn 5 hours later. Foal was up and nursing well. We checked the mare for any tears, and there weren't any because of the gentle traction of the water bottle that I had to tie up twice. We had 2 Hanoverian Colts, 2 Hanoverian Fillies, and 1 Dutch Warm blood Filly. All mothers and foals are well, and 3 have returned to their owners homes. The other 2, 1 Colt and 1 Filly are still in my care. They were the last born earlier this month. I've started working a bit with the foals. Who's attention span is 5 minutes or so, but I can lift their legs and clean out the feet then gently and lightly tap with the back of a wooden Dandy Brush. All in preparation for when they have to be, later in life, shod. Mother walks ahead on a lead, they are in a foal halter being led beside her. Beginning of Ground Manners. Especially for a Colt. The more you can teach them trust without pain, stops him from invading your space, because he already has the basics. You can teach so much from the ground BEFORE you even think of doing a layover their back in preparation for riding. Hope this help! Many Blessings and Stay Safe in these troubled times. Best Regards from Ontario, Canada, Jenn.
@@jenniferlehman2464 Audrey is correct while the abscess may not have been avoidable everything that came after is 100% neglect! If I had a horse with a defect that bad I would certainly not neglect the feet. Regular trimming to maintain a proper balance and reduce torque on the damaged area of wall would have prevented the massive sole fracture and wall blowout. Hell treating the abscessed area long before it blew out the top would have prevented the whole damn mess. The condition of this horses feet comes from neglect. Much like a heavily matted dog if takes a long time for these conditions to develop. Regular grooming prevents matting! And regular hoof trimming prevents what you see above. Any farrier worth the cost of his or her tools could have prevented the excessive damage done to this horses foot. Hell I’m no pro trimmer but even I could have kept that foot from coming apart with basic trimming tools.
@@jaykneegarner2479 While what you say is correct, I would have been ticked to say the least if this was the first time seeing the horse after the abscess blew, the farrier did mention that the last time that he was out, the wall was still attached. As soon as the owner noticed it wasn't, she contacted the farrier, and the correction began. It is neat the start of the video when he kind of mumbles that. Best Regards and Stay Safe!! Happy Riding! From Ontario, Canada, Jenn.
@@hepaticanobilis9700 This horse was rescued from it's previous owner who had died. As soon as the person caring for the animals saw this, they immediately got the farrier out to start the trim and repair done. Don't judge unless you know the whole story. I do, because the farrier I use KNOWS THIS FARRIER personally. Hope you have a great week, Stay Safe!
I know that there is some selection bias in what videos get posted on YT, but, with all that can go wrong with horses’ hooves, it’s amazing that they survived the millennia as a species.
It’s an art thing that sudes the animal and at the same time protects him, great Job, lots of fun to watch, I enjoyed every second of this video, Thank you 🙏
Felt so bad for this horse’s hoof can’t believe anyone would let it get this bad! I grew up on a horse ranch and rode the horse, my dad taught me at a young age to always pay attention to any limping it was our responsibility to take care of the horses we rode . There were several horses that were used for riding in rodeos. All of the horses hooves were cared by a farriers which fascinated me I could’ve watched them for hours! Glad this horse’s hoof was taken care of that’s a lot of weight to put on that hoof that was hurting it so much!
hi i was afarrier for 45 years it is great to see how much our profession has evoled and improved all it needs know is for owners of horses to apreciate how a good farrier can enhance ahorse life instead of looking at how cheap they can get it shod a good farrier is alife suppurt to a horse

The difficulty is that farriers often get paid by the head or hoof. Problems take time to treat poorly and it takes even more time to treat them properly. Farriers need the opportunity to be good to your horse and they should be treated and paid accordingly. Demanding, stingy or argumentative owners' horses cost more to work on than owners who are polite and respectful. Dickering over each dollar comes out of the care your horse receives.
Not only that, but if you want high-quality work in the future, one must grant time and money for good work, but ALSO for training to do this quality of work. Beginners are not disposable. They are the next generation of expert farriers. Expertise costs money to get and to keep. That's money that is often not considered by owners and even sometimes by farriers, themselves.

I have watched some pretty contentious interactions over the years and it hurts the entire facility when these happen.
@@alison2649 He doesn't want to be kicked because he doesn't want to do anything to hurt or upset the horse, weirdo.
Great job, you always know you’re watching a professional when they take it slowly to see how far the infection has travelled.

Me giving her hugs and kisses to make it better, after the repair lol. She's soooo beautiful. I love horses, although I don't know much about them. I just know they're majestic, beautiful, kind and noble. 💕
Thanks for helping her :)
The owner of this horse needs to be told what he did wrong so this poor horse doesn't have to go through this again. Maybe the horse needs to be taken away from the owner. The farrier did an amazing job. Thank you for helping this beautiful horse!
Maybe you should find out the story behind how the hoof got this way before accusing the owner of something...just saying

I agree.

WOW!!!!That was so wonderful to watch. Fantastic job !
Looks good. I had to stop shoeing. Got old and my back just wasn’t going have anymore more of that kind of work.
It will be written in the Big Book. Best wishes.
He trimmed that broken hoof the way to the part that's not chipped badly. Great work being Bing watching all am today and last night lol.
What a magnificent job. It really shouldn't be easy to hold the animal's paws for hours and off the patience of both. Congratulations on the virtue!
That turned out a lot better than I would have thought. Good job sir!
Mr. Farrier you are very skilled.
Now that’s a fella that knows and loves what he’s doing👍
Awesome!... From what I learned and thank you for showing this!... It opened my eyes to understand why you may need to do to keep these horses healthy!
Shameful that the owner let the horse get this bad. So thankful for a gentle and experienced craftsman is taking care.
Why am I watching this? I am never going to ever shoe a horse. I just enjoy watching someone who cares about the animal they are helping.
Amazing work that you've done. Thank you for showing what can be done to help with such damage. Would like to see any follow ups if possible to see how things progress. Thank you for sharing this with us, extremely educational and interesting.
We will be following up so keep an eye on our Facebook page and YT. I hope we get her back in before the end of April. Glad you enjoyed it and thank you for the feedback.
@@FarrierProducts Great to hear, will keep an eye out and hopefully UA-cam will let me know any future videos. Xx
All horses are special. God bless them all🙏 ❤ 🙌 .I like to see update on her.prayers sent. Amazing 👏 🙀 😯 work on the foot.
Good job mashalla jazakallah ameen
You're gifted! Thank you for sharing your videos.
Bless this man u have saved this horse a lot of pain ur a good man
Just the tools alone are a work of art themselves.
Tools that likely haven’t changed for years
Man knows his craft no doubt, the horse thanks you
Wow. That was some beautiful technique and I don't even do hooves! A work of art that was!
Not just a professional but a true gentle artist! Congratulations 👏!!
Who leaves horse like this ?! Thank's for taking care after
You did an excellent job. I truly thought there was no way you could fix this.
Difficult and tricky case. Well managed especially given the owner's failure to have the horse seen to timely after the first farrier stabilized.
Bang up job.
I'm very glad that people like you that can do the work that you do on the hoofs
I’m glad to see that the horse is getting the care it needs Thank you to all of you that do this for our Animals.
I myself have nothing to do with horses, however, I am very much impressed by how such a job is done.
Good to learn MANY THINGS in life ....
bad owner. hooves in such bad condition that is sad
So good to see you do your good work on the horse, my grandfather use to shoe horses years ago for alots of people . You sure done a great job.
Wow, that poor girl. I'm sure she was feeling better after your visit. Great job!!
Beautiful work. The passion in your work is amazing. Too good
Awesome job! I know that little horse feels 1000% better!!! 😍
That was amazing how you cleared off and replaced the horse hoof.
That black stuff is like Bondo for a horse hoof!! I bet she felt so much relief once that was applied!!!
She did and your description is very accurate!
I kept thinking... there has to be some kind of hard gel or acrylic they can use, similar to human nail restoration.... and then out comes the Vettec and other epoxy. So happy she'll be able to walk and run without pain!
Those are great files! I think his approach is a good one. So many problems due to neglect.
Watching a professional!!! Awesome 👏🏼 thank you for your love of horses and their well-being.
Annabelle is lovely. Thanks for the kindness.
Thank goodness this was treated by a great farrier. The owners should not have left it for this horse to suffer. The poor horse. The phrase “no foot, no horse” springs to mind
Very good job you helped that horse out more than you realize sir beautiful job wish there was more farriers like you
This is a skill set job. So impressed with how carefully he trims this hoof.
You are such a blessing to this fur baby.
What kind of person would let a horse's foot get this bad. Poor thing must have been in terrible pain. Thank you for helping her .
This horse blew an abscess. It could have been at the coronary band and it had to grow out, or half way down the hoof. What this farrier did was amazing to keep this horse sound and not going lamanitic, which it so easily could have done. I rehabilitate horses from injuries. I work very closely with the Surgeons, Veterinarians, Farriers, Nutritionists and the owners to get their horses sound and competing again. Sometimes it takes me a year to accomplish that goal. But working as a TEAM, we accomplish the goal we set out to do. Even if the horse never competes again and becomes a brood mare, I'm still involved. As I'm the one who delivers the foals. I did a trick I learned at the breeding barn. I grabbed a full and sealed water bottle, I then tied it up with her membranes while she was still contracting. The placenta came away, and I put it in a bucket for the vet to check, as she is a narrow hipped mare. He told me I did everything correctly when he arrived at the barn 5 hours later. Foal was up and nursing well. We checked the mare for any tears, and there weren't any because of the gentle traction of the water bottle that I had to tie up twice. We had 2 Hanoverian Colts, 2 Hanoverian Fillies, and 1 Dutch Warm blood Filly. All mothers and foals are well, and 3 have returned to their owners homes. The other 2, 1 Colt and 1 Filly are still in my care. They were the last born earlier this month. I've started working a bit with the foals. Who's attention span is 5 minutes or so, but I can lift their legs and clean out the feet then gently and lightly tap with the back of a wooden Dandy Brush. All in preparation for when they have to be, later in life, shod. Mother walks ahead on a lead, they are in a foal halter being led beside her. Beginning of Ground Manners. Especially for a Colt. The more you can teach them trust without pain, stops him from invading your space, because he already has the basics. You can teach so much from the ground BEFORE you even think of doing a layover their back in preparation for riding. Hope this help! Many Blessings and Stay Safe in these troubled times.

@@jenniferlehman2464 Audrey is correct while the abscess may not have been avoidable everything that came after is 100% neglect! If I had a horse with a defect that bad I would certainly not neglect the feet. Regular trimming to maintain a proper balance and reduce torque on the damaged area of wall would have prevented the massive sole fracture and wall blowout. Hell treating the abscessed area long before it blew out the top would have prevented the whole damn mess. The condition of this horses feet comes from neglect. Much like a heavily matted dog if takes a long time for these conditions to develop. Regular grooming prevents matting! And regular hoof trimming prevents what you see above. Any farrier worth the cost of his or her tools could have prevented the excessive damage done to this horses foot. Hell I’m no pro trimmer but even I could have kept that foot from coming apart with basic trimming tools.
@@jaykneegarner2479 While what you say is correct, I would have been ticked to say the least if this was the first time seeing the horse after the abscess blew, the farrier did mention that the last time that he was out, the wall was still attached. As soon as the owner noticed it wasn't, she contacted the farrier, and the correction began. It is neat the start of the video when he kind of mumbles that. Best Regards and Stay Safe!! Happy Riding!

As I see it, this person has disqualified himself as a horse owner. I get a stomach ache from thinking that the horse must return to the owner again.
@@hepaticanobilis9700 This horse was rescued from it's previous owner who had died. As soon as the person caring for the animals saw this, they immediately got the farrier out to start the trim and repair done. Don't judge unless you know the whole story. I do, because the farrier I use KNOWS THIS FARRIER personally. Hope you have a great week, Stay Safe!
I know that there is some selection bias in what videos get posted on YT, but, with all that can go wrong with horses’ hooves, it’s amazing that they survived the millennia as a species.
It’s an art thing that sudes the animal and at the same time protects him, great Job, lots of fun to watch, I enjoyed every second of this video, Thank you 🙏
Master craftsmanship.
Brilliant to watch.
Felt so bad for this horse’s hoof can’t believe anyone would let it get this bad! I grew up on a horse ranch and rode the horse, my dad taught me at a young age to always pay attention to any limping it was our responsibility to take care of the horses we rode . There were several horses that were used for riding in rodeos. All of the horses hooves were cared by a farriers which fascinated me I could’ve watched them for hours! Glad this horse’s hoof was taken care of that’s a lot of weight to put on that hoof that was hurting it so much!
Amazing work / job 👍👍👍👍👍 thanks 🙏 👍🙏🐕🙋🏼♂️🇳🇱👌
Such care being undertaken 😊🇦🇺 I certainly will be watching more of your Chanel.
Really enjoyed watching the progress. Very skilled. Thanks.
