I think it’s probably been left out in a field with not a lot of shelter and shade and with the weather here in the UK being hotter than normal it’s developed sunburn and hasn’t been treated.
They can develop photosensitivity reactions when on certain pastures too - typically worse on white skin. Feeding a toxin binder and keeping on good pasture often resolves 'sunburn' issues on horses (with exception of pigmentless horses)
Horses with pink skin anywhere (and especially white and grey horses) also get melanoma when they get older. I used to breed goats and I wouldn't buy any Saanens that had pink instead of tan skin because it's the same thing. I'm pink skinned myself and have some UV damage to my retinas from too much sun exposure. I was always good about sunblock, but not hats and sunglasses. People who have pink nosed horses usually put zinc diaper cream on their noses because it's cheaper and doesn't need to be reapplied as often as actual sunblock. And they make sun blankets for pink skinned white/grey horses.
I love it that you really loves horses and taking care of their hooves. It's refreshing to see a Farrier that actually introduces the horse. You really are good person.
@@morgancalvi6675 What do you mean by this?? If someone trims too deeply and damages the sensitive tissues, of course that'll harm the horse. Just like trimming our fingernails, if you cut too short and damage your skin/the nailbed, of course that hurts! If someone trims the foot poorly and makes it so the hoof has bad geometry, that can harm the hoof and cause further damage down the road, it can cause cracks and infections and cause ligament and tendon problems in the horse. There's all sorts of different ways bad hoof geometry can make an animal lame. Frequent, light trimmings are not necessarily more or less harmful than comparatively less frequent trimmings as long as the hoof is well maintained, the hoof doesn't get too overgrown between trims, the live tissue isn't damaged, and the hoof stays in good geometry so as to not cause injury to the hoof or the horse.
Peter, you are so kind and caring when working with these rescues. I love that you take your time with them. Who knows what kind of treatment theyve received before they were rescued! Glad you and your camera weren't hurt!!! Stay blessed!!! 💖🤗🙏🏻
Oh man I bet you once you let him take one round of circles on his walk he probably said Oh man it doesn't hurt to walk anymore. This is a lot more comfortable
Such a wonderful job Peter, so kind and patient with the rescues, could listen to your accent all day long, so so happy Rolo found his way to these wonderful new owners, and to live out his life on that beautiful property, well done Peter, and the new owners, thank you so much for posting and helping Rolo, take care Peter.👍💙🐎
I used to think cow hoof care was a brilliant skill but farriers shoeing and maintaining horse hooves is out of this world Great video as always and100% respect to ROLO Hes ready for the Grand National now 😎
The difference is like night and day Peter. Kudos for your patience and the time you spend on him. He is fortunate to have been rescued. Thank you for sharing.🐴
Aww good boy rolo he definitely is in the best of hands so glad the new owners are on top of everything. Wish them all the luck in the world. ❤ great trim as always Peter always so calm and relaxed around nervous ponies
What I always appreciate, is your ability to visualize what needs to be removed and what needs to remain - while looking at the side of the foot the rest of us rarely get to see! Thank you for being patient with him. At least he isn’t leaning on you, that I can see from what you have filmed.
Nice work restoring this beautiful pony’s feet. Sorry you got kicked! Ouch! But over time I am sure he will get used to you working on his feet. Thanks for sharing!
As always well done. you have such a good eye and you always still check. Top quality. I am happy for Rolo as he has a beautiful home and caring owners. I worked with a horse that needed sunblock back in the day. Rolo will love his new life.
Another great video Peter! I hope that you or your camera didn’t get injured from his kick. You are so kind to these horses, now that Rolo is in better hands, I am sure he will behave better the next time. ❤️
This isn’t the first horse trimming I’ve seen of the hoof. but it’s the first one when someone took the time to explain what and why they were doing it. Thank you.
That was beautiful! The after after seeing the first. It seems these horses stand pretty still in these videos. I think I could be because they know you are helping, and it could even feel good to them. Especially after you are done. Wish the video was longer😊
It is so nice to see someone who knows what they are doing and are compassionate to the suffering the animal has gone through. It's better than the oriental videos where they chop at the hoof and yank on their legs to keep them still and swat them with ropes to get them to go into a holding area. I subscribed to your channel.
He definitely needed that!! Poor little sod. Sunburn too. And he's only two years old. I'm sure he felt a lot better after his trim. And I hope the kick on you didn't hurt too much! 😎😎
Omg rolo is stunning, he so well behave for a young horse. Dont understand why animals get neglect. Wish this guy all the best. I love cobs and palominos
You are the best when it comes to caring for horses, you are kind and I love the way you take your time at the end and polish the hooves. One thing I do not understand is why dont you put sometjing soft on the top of your hoof stand. The only thing you have is the open metal post? That is probably why they pull back off when b you try to sand the hoof
The top of his hoof stand is soft. You can see clearly at 3:47 how the aluminium edges of his hoof stand have been softened off. Horses hooves aren't like ours on the ground surface. They have an outer layer of non sensitive sole that skilled farriers like Peter leave intact for protection. That pony pulls his foot away because he's young (2 years old) & he fidgets . He's been neglected too so he probably hasn't had much handling, let alone farrier work done on him.
My young friend in France has two horses (I think they are her babies really!) and she doesn't shoe them because the town is very hilly and they get a better grip that way. They are very clever and know if I am home and refuse to leave until I come down with a carrot for them. They would like to come in the house, but there is a staircase that I do not think they could manage... but you never know! She doesn't use a bit either which terrifies people who ride with her! Horses are so sensible, it is heartbreaking that they don't always get the best care.
Hello Peter. I just found your channel yesterday and have watched a few videos. I’ve got a question, when you paint their hooves is that just to make them look pretty or is it a preventative care? Like how fluoride is put on our teeth at the dentist (🤢 at least I get fluoride and it’s terrible) thanks. Also hope that kick didn’t hurt too bad 😧
@@Peterthefarrier that’s so nice of them, they sound like lovely people and you were sweet and patient with him. He’s got a good life going forward ♥️🐴🐴🐴🐴🐴🐴
Thank you for being patient and gentle with this little guy, and sharing your work on here. Is the purple wrap on his pasterns just to keep his feathers out of your way?
He was just like "oh, you want to see my hoof? Here, have a closer look!"
I'm sure he feels much better after you're done, though!
You know you're in the UK when you hear someone say "the sunshine hasn't let up" instead of "it hasn't rained in a while."
You're so gentle. Looks very nice. Lucky to have new owners caring well for him.
He is very lucky he has found a new home that will look after him the way he deserves.
Heavy animals should have a leg stand...that's a LOT of weight to just hold on 3 legs. That may be why he gets kicked...lol.
I never would have thought that horses can get sunburn! Glad he's been rescued and well taken care of now!

@@WendyLemontree Who knew? I learned something new here--thanks!
I have heard of light skinned/coated horses getting sunburn. Who would have thought. It seems all our pale skinned pets can be prone to it
I love it that you really loves horses and taking care of their hooves. It's refreshing to see a Farrier that actually introduces the horse. You really are good person.
Great trim Peter looks like he needed that bless him and he seems to be in good hands now.
Thank you Marie. He is in good hands now with his new owner.
@@Peterthefarrier do you believe trimming too much actually harms the foot? Please educate me.

Thank you Jennifer. He is a kind pony I can tell he is just unsure about the situation. He will get better and understand more with time.
Watching horse and cow trimming videos are really educational and the trimmers treat these animals very well and are so kind
But trimming a lot off a horse is detrimental to him and may cause heels and hooves to collapse. Especially with collapsed heels.
@@morgancalvi6675 that’s true
Love watching you!! I'm learning to do my own because I can't get anyone to trim regularly and or properly. PS I'm 74yrs old.
Oh man I bet you once you let him take one round of circles on his walk he probably said Oh man it doesn't hurt to walk anymore. This is a lot more comfortable
I love seeing rescue horses getting the fresh new manucure they deserve ❤

Thank you Tracey hope you are well. I thought I sounded common 😂
@@Peterthefarrier yes, I'm well thank you Peter, you don't sound common at all, I think your accent is delightful, you have yourself a great day.👍💙🐎
I love listening to you talk is through it. It's nice to know the background and current situation.
Thank you. I am looking forward to doing a update video on him in the future.
What a blessing you are to this sweet boy
Thank you Pamela.

Your a amazing hoof trimmer. Its so nice to watch you trim and help out these beautiful animals. God bless you
Thank you 😊
What a pretty horse and his feet look so good now. I hope he recovers from his ill's. He'll be even more beautiful.
Thank you. With time I am sure he will be back to full health.
Thanks for showing us your work and office view Peter 😊👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
You do a great job explaining what and why you're doing what you do. Excellent video.
Aww good boy rolo he definitely is in the best of hands so glad the new owners are on top of everything. Wish them all the luck in the world. ❤ great trim as always Peter always so calm and relaxed around nervous ponies
He is definitely in good hands now. They will make sure he is well looked after and happy.
Definitely ❤
Lovely work! Hope Rolo recovers from his sunburn. I’ve seen lots of trims with overgrown heels, but collapsed heels were new to me.
Thank you Pat. With time I am sure these hooves will return to normal. It will just take some time to get them where I want them.

As always well done. you have such a good eye and you always still check. Top quality.
I am happy for Rolo as he has a beautiful home and caring owners. I worked with a horse that needed sunblock back in the day. Rolo will love his new life.
Thank you Siona. I definitely think his nose needs a bit of sunblock on it. The owner are on with it as we speak.
Excellent video as always. Love to hear you describe your thinking process as you go. No kicking Rolo, you’re in the best of hands. ❤
Thank you. I think he was just telling me he had had enough for today.
Another great video Peter! I hope that you or your camera didn’t get injured from his kick. You are so kind to these horses, now that Rolo is in better hands, I am sure he will behave better the next time. ❤️
Thank you Donna. I am ok thank you. Nothing to bad. I am just happy my camera is ok 😂
Outstanding work; what a difference, and I'm sure he's happy you fixed his hoofs for him.
Thank you 😊
You’re so patient and kind with him and what a fabulous result!
Well done Peter. Sorry you got kicked. Rolo I am sure, DID appreciate his hoof trim. It will be better next time.
I love that you show the horse you are working on. Great job as usual . ❤
Thank you Joy.
Your voice is very easy to listen to…and I so appreciate the kind words with these horses!
What pretty feet he’s got there.Lovely.❤
Like round pies. My haflinger had those. This little guy is a gem.
Those hooves look so much better! Nicely done!
How satisfying to see the difference in the before/after! Amazing job! 💖
This isn’t the first horse trimming I’ve seen of the hoof. but it’s the first one when someone took the time to explain what and why they were doing it. Thank you.
Fantastic. Looked so much better. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you Maggie.
He's going to be a beauty with a bit of care. Thank you for your sensitive and intuitive trim.

Glad you weren't injured
I like this guy
You can tell he genuinely cares and seems like a solid cat
What a bang up job! You are a talented farrier Sir and I love seeing multiple feet so thank you! You and your channel is a gem thanks again! 👍🏻
I love your office views and the gentle way you handled this young horse. Hope he didn't kick you too hard.
Splendid job. Nice feet as it turned out!
Thank you Sally. Still more work to do with them but in time they will get better.
5:04 he absolutely said “you forgot this one, dummy, get on with it” 😂
You are so gentle . Love watching your work.
I know the Pony feels wayyyy better you did a fantastic job 😊
Nice work. He has some nice feet and healthy frogs. Thanks for the before and after shots.
PETER THOSE HOOVES CAME OUT LOOKING GOOD.
Peter, you are an example in this dark world of how to be a light.
It is so nice to see someone who knows what they are doing and are compassionate to the suffering the animal has gone through.

He definitely needed that!! Poor little sod. Sunburn too. And he's only two years old. I'm sure he felt a lot better after his trim. And I hope the kick on you didn't hurt too much! 😎😎
Wonderful job & love your gentle way with the horse ❤
I really liked seeing the piece that you nipped off. Very satisfying.
I'm new here but thoroughly enjoyed watching you work. Rolos hooves looking much better.
Thank you 😊
Pony’s feet must be feeling GREAT, BEAUTIFUL JOB‼️🐴 Vinny 🇺🇸
Peter, you r the best
Thank you 😊
He is such a beauty. His feet looked good, and I hope he will be ok. Hope he didn’t hurt you too bad!!
Well done. What a transformation
I’m no fan of horses. Their dangerous. But I thank you for your heart felt kindness for them.
Omg rolo is stunning, he so well behave for a young horse. Dont understand why animals get neglect. Wish this guy all the best. I love cobs and palominos
He was a sassy young fella that horse! Gonad you’re alright Peter!
🎉 if there's a hoof clippings fairy, Rolo's in da money😂
Lots of hoof for the dogs on the yard to eat 😂
Those are some funny looking wooly ponies out in your office view!

Do I see new chaps there 👀😁
Yes. I finally have new chaps. Let’s see how long these last 😂
@@Peterthefarrier They will last about 6 months, so you should look at getting new ones in about 2 years 🤣

Looks so much better.I know the horse will be more comfortable.

What is that clear liquid you brush on the outside of the hoof at the end and what is it for?

Nice job. Did you get some new britches? Also...what were the purple bandages for?
I did get some new chaps. I used vet rap to keep his feather away from the hoof so I can see what I am working with.
A lovely horse + a great Farrier.😁🐎
Awesome job. Poor little guy is going to feel so much better too. 🤗😘
Your office view…the best!!
Awesome job
Very nice scales on your knives there. Not often you see some attractive scales on working knives / hoof tools.
You are a fantastic farrier!!
You do a great job narrating. ❤

Good bit of toe to take off at first. Where's the barn dog when you really need them?
Very very. Hard working. God bless you 🙏
Beautiful job!!!
Beautiful work.
And you KNOW He feels much better
I seen blacksmith using mats and weighted blankets to keep the horse calm and comfortable. Have you thought of using such devices

“Wait, I’m getting my nails done”💅💅✨🐴
