As a farrier i know why you done the disclaimer but its sad that we have to because people would judge you. even if it was your work its not your job to schedule and stay on top of that horse. Its all about how he looks when you leave, not how he looks coming in. We all have the special cases where we go above and beyond on hoof care but we cant do it all the time. He definitely felt better after i like to see them lick and take a deep breath after a good trim.
Alot of people are ashamed, for fear of getting judged, that they can't afford care, but try , when organization won't help them, rather penalized them, take their pet away give it to someone with more money or donations and then financially penalize a person when they do save and scrape to do the right thing..so then they just do the wrong thing.. same with my dogs nails..instead of helping ( I did get help she's a crap weezel they had 3 people to get it done) alot of people get overwhelmed. She was 65 lbs if a held her down she'd scream, everyone came running but not help, gave her treats. Fortunately, a vet that visits , came by..said my dog is a drama queen did her nails..now..I pay what I can or make payments to have her nails done. I didn't get judged.working people are poor..poor people get free help
@@jesseelisabeatty8205 and on the event that my comment is here and I just can't see it. I'll preface the fact I've had dogs who literally had to be muscled down for a nail trim because my family never taught my pets to have their feet handled. I've done shelter dog trim, my own pets, family friends, etc. A lot of nails including animals that have bite histories. My current dog used to be a monster for trimming, but with weekly trimming using food he's improved 10 fold and can be done by a single groomer with minimal issues as long as he gets treats afterwards.
Since my comment probably didn't go through there's so many cheap ways of making a dog awesome for nail trims. Free or cheap ways to help them get better so not having money isn't a good excuse. If you can pay the cost of a nail trim Once you can afford the resources to help them. "Nail Maintenance for Dogs" is a free Facebook resource to teach mail trim skills in general, but also on how to teach dogs to trim their own nails using a scratch board. You have to pay to buy or build a scratcher once then the only payments afterwards are for sandpaper which you can buy in bulk. Nail files literally cost maybe *30 cents to a dollar* . You need to buy a dremel once and then the only other cost is tip refills. Desensitization and Counter Conditioning is Free the only price is the price of food you already have to feed your pet and the free price of your snuggles and affection. *edited for spelling because my phone ate my sentences*
I am always amazed at how calm the horses remain while being shoed. My uncle is a Professor and taught farrier skills at UNI for many years. I don't understand how you all can still walk after a few years, hunched over and working hard. Keep up the good work! His videos of hoof dissections are kind of amazing.
@@maddiewoo7833 yes, they are. if its a horse in need of help but no time to train, they are sedated. dormosedan is commonly used to mildy sedate horses when people cannot train them. many farriers will not work on a stressed horse due to the risk of their job not being up to par. horses are rarely calm and relaxed in new places they have never been to before. indeed, some shut down instead of starting to fiddle. but if they start to fiddle sedation is an option, even though there are dangers.
ROFL. Do you know humans find endless mindless chatter annoying? Change in voice tone, volume, etc. also runs the risk of you getting kicked. Not to mention as you're blithering and not paying attention you won't notice the horse tensing, etc. which can indicate it may just kick and thus you end up getting kicked. Again. You'll end the job black & blue. Farriers don't talk because they are concentrating on a LOT MORE than just the hoof. Horse's body weight, tension in the leg, etc. Horses don't need some nattering either because the uniformity of the work is akin to white noise. Soothing.
@@gingerbaker4579 I'd imagine each horse is different. My senior gelding and one of my QH mares loved when the farrier would talk to them. The others didn't really care one way or the other but our senior boy ate it up. Ears perked the entire time, lip drooping without a care in the world. He would only start to tense and get antsy when our farrier didn't talk to him actually. That's mainly where I learned what separated the good farriers from the great ones. Gentleman we ended up having become our regular farrier for the last 4 years was one of the best snd that's because he paid attention to everything and learned what soothed each horse as an individual. We had two that liked talking, three that didn't care, and then a big draft mare who wanted silence and a big ass bucket of sweet feed infront of her as a bribe for her participation.
I am no horse expert. But that looks like an amazing job. I have a great appreciation for all of the Farriers out there. Thank you for taking care of horses.
Seems like this horse was VERY patient and good with all the TLC and work you were doing; i know some can be a little fussy, especially if they've been neglected for whatever reason for a long time. Glad you're here for this horse! I really hope you'll do an update video or update video series with this one - if you're their new trimmer for a bit, as it's obviously a multi-trim recovery they've gottta go through. Excellent work, sir. I'm just continually amazed by the effort and care you give each of your horses.
I've seen a LOT of videos where people trim hooves way longer than these on horses, but this is the most hoof I've ever seen taken off on the underside with the knife- these hooves were just sooo big! Amazing job and care you're doing.
After watching a few of these, those of us that have never done it, has to realize the strength needed to complete each hoof! Great respect for these farriers, for their hard work and intellect in getting the job done correctly!
To me, when you start with basics, you try to grasp what should be done to a normal hoof. The real miracle develops over time, being able to mentally image how an abnormal hoof is functioning and how to return it to normal. Thanks for working on this horse.
My wrists ache just watching this. After years in the building trades as a Structural Welder, my wrists took a beating and now have hands that are halfway numb all the time. Great work!
We had horses most of my life, and my dad went to the Oklahoma Horseshoeing School because paying a ferrier to regularly maintain the hooves of 3 horses was EXPENSIVE, so he decided to learn how to do it himself and some neighbors. It's backbreaking and sometimes thankless work, but so necessary for the health of the horse!
Soooo incredible! I wish people would treat their equines with the regard they deserve. I'm so grateful for you and all the farriers in the world, who still want to do this work.
Why am I totally fascinated by this? I can’t stop watching animal care videos! From dog grooming and now hoof care. This has nothing to do with my life! 😂 my closest experience would be when I worked in College of Ag at a university 😂
At 9:40 … “I’ll take Cherry Red, please” Can’t believe how rough it seems (but necessary, I understand!) , but it obviously doesn’t bother the horse, in fact, there were moments I thought that horse leg was a prop, he was so chill. Something very satisfying in watching you farriers work ❤
@@RB-ls2fo I think what the original commenter meant is that the hoof was so overgrown that the farrier can't fix it all in one go. It's going to take several visits for the hoof to go back to normal. Not a diss on the farrier, more so an observation on how overgrown that hoof was :)
horse hoofs are essentially finger nails for humans. you need to trim them or they get long. as far as i know wild horses dont face that proplem because they are always moving/running
@@nuggetman1860 wild horses don't have this problem because they don't have shoes. Since they don't have shoes, their hoofs wear down. A working domestic horse needs shoes to prevent the wear on the hoofs. Since they walk or run on hard surfaces, and often carry heavy loads, their hoofs would wear down very fast without shoes. The shoes prevent the hoof from wearing, so then it needs to be cut manually.
There are farriers and then there are farriers. And then there is you. If I had a horse I know damn well it would go to you for all the work. You go above and beyond to do the job that is needed for that horse. I'm not saying that other farriers don't, but this is the first time I have seen various part of the work be done while others never included this as a part of the entire process. And many of them had horses with worse problems than what this horse had. Outstanding work; great video.
Mercy Margaret, what a lot of work you had to do on those feet. Too bad the owner didn't watch his schedule better - like at all. But perhaps it was a lean year for him.😔 I'll never forget the first time I watched the farrier trim my horse. I tho't the frog was soft and cried when he trimmed it. I nearly yelled when he set the shoe and I saw the smoke! Live and learn. I was a city girl so learned much later than if we'd had acreage. Quite a nice job sir!
Quite an excavation to find the frog under all that. Better get to the other feet quick before the horse tips over....lol. Poor horse will feel like its floating after carrying around all those extra pounds of hoof.
Outstanding work sir, you made it look easy but I know what backbreaking work being a farrier is! Good job, the horse is much happier, I’m sure! 🇺🇸🙏💪💪🙌
This was so ver interesting to watch. You are very meticulous and I can tell you care very much about your work and taking care of this horse. Thank you for sharing.
Excellent work! That horse will feel so much better now! I don’t think I’ve ever seen anyone use the power sander on a hoof before- I think the most satisfying part for me would be seeing the oil brushed on that freshly clean surface…brings me back to my childhood, when I spent all my non school time at the barn, with my pony who I doted upon. (I went through a lot of hoof flex) It’s odd…those hooves were crazy long, but they seemed like they were in decent shape… Usually in cases of neglect you don’t see shoes and pads, and the hooves are often in rough shape. Thrushy/ accessed/ cracked etc…I wonder was the previous farrier actually choosing to leave the hoof so long? The old shoes were definitely worn, but they didn’t seem to be loose or paper thin…maybe re- used once at most (?) it seemed to me that it might have been a choice to let them grow so long…(almost like a Twalker on those horrible stacks.) I remember as a kid seeing horses in a saddle seat barn with crazy long hooves and being really sad for those horses…they lived cooped up in stalls, always blanketed, braided and depressed. I was a pony club kid, and hadn’t ever seen saddleseat horses IRL before - it really upset me, I’ll never forget it!
Most horses are extremely perceptive animals and great judges of character. Treat them right, and they’ll treat you right. There are, however, always a handful of horses who are spiteful assholes just because they can be.
Wow. I’ve never seen this done before, and it’s sooo satisfying to watch, your such an expert. That horse was so patient, you could tell he enjoyed getting his hooves looked after. And you make it look so easy! And yet I can see it’s a very specialist work.
That is definitely a Great Perynese in the background barking. Shout out to all LSGB's got to love the working class #Salute Shouts to you to Fam for your hard work and dedication to the horses. 💯💯💯🧘🏿♂️💪🏿🤝🏿
Любо-дорого! Респект профессионалу. У каждого мастера свои подходы к этому нелёгком труду. Это только одно копыто показано, а их всего 4. Здоровья вам в вашем нелёгком труде.
I don't know the first thing about what you do here, but I believe that you have done a awesome job... I enjoy very much watching you at work.. and what a beautiful patience horse 🐴 greetings from Australia 🇦🇺
How do you know when to stop trimming the soft material in the center of the hoof? And how do you know how much of the outside of the hoof to trim and not hurt the animal? I would imagine if you cut to deep or trim to much it would be very painful for the horse much like cutting our finger nails back to far. Enjoying your video. Thanks for taking the time to show us your craft. From Missouri
(Not a farrier) I’ve heard that when you’re starting to get too close in the center it starts to feel springier/slightly softer and that’s when you should definitely stop. But that’s only from what I’ve heard.
A horse owner - He checks the softness of the sole a couple of times around the 5min mark by pressing with his thumbs. Like so many skill, a lot is down to feel and experience!
@@IAmADragonHearMeRoar The sole of the hoof capsule changes in feeling as the farrier trims material in terms of what the farrier can feel with a thumb and how the hoof knife moves through the material too. The older the material, the tougher it is to trim because it has less moisture. Also the color of the material changes: the closer to "live" material, the more the material has a red tingle from the blood which bathes the "live" portions of the interior.
I am not very knowledgeable about large animals. I am originally from R.I. and living in Tulsa.Ok. ,but, from the first video I watched of you guys doing this kind of work,I have been absolutely fascinated with what you do. You all do some incredible work.
Horses tend to be very used to it but also if they sence the person riding them or doing this type of work is confident and knows what they are doing they tend to relax a lot more. Horses are far more intelligent than most give them credit.
I was hoping for a before and after shot of the hoof, but really, showing the two fronts next to each other WITH the massive pile of removed hoof…that was just better than I hoped.
More so his thighs and hips from stooping over like that! I spent two hours giving my dog a proper home grooming and man my thighs kill me for like 3 days can't even walk properly I look like an 80 yr old grandma 😂
I amazed at how his back doesn’t hurt from doing these! My back hurts on a daily and this guy has his back hunched over for what over 15 minutes if not more!! Damn he has all my respect
Definitely makes me feel happy to have to only deal with the problems of a human body. I can’t imagine having to bust out the belt sander and tin snips every time I needed to trim my toenails…
I used to work in podiatry and I’d use an electric drill on peoples hard thick toenails. You’d be surprised just how long and thick they can get when you don’t cut them for a while.😅
Wow that must have been uncomfy for the horse! I haven’t watched a lot of farrier videos, but this hoof definitely looked and sounded a lot different to normal, especially when you started rasping! It sounded so much drier and stuff from growing out too far without reshoeing!
I find that watching the work you farriers do very enjoyable and somewhat cathartic. But, as someone who has chronic back pain, I am amazed at the length of time you are bent over at that angle. 👍🏻😬
That takes a special skill and you're pretty good at it I bet that horse probably feel a lot better as I'm watching you I'm amazed you're really talented
I am always in admiration of farriers i would not know where to start or how far to go at times it looks brutal but amazing job done and the horse is happy

Awwww.... I bet he/she feels SO MUCH better after that. ❤🐎❤
ABSOLUTELY EXCELLENT JOB! I thoroughly ejoyed your QUALITY of workmanship! Thank you
This work already proves artistic skill!
I really appreciate how you show the "before and after", at the end of your video! Good job!
That's some crazy good knife skills. Wow. Wish I could handle a knife like that. I love all the sole pressure points checks you do repeatedly.
I'm so glad you're there to fix it.
You are great and fun to watch! Thanks for sharing, the horses are lucky to have you and must know you as the guy that makes them feel good...😍
That is definitely a Great Perynese in the background barking. Shout out to all LSGB's got to love the working class #Salute Shouts to you to Fam for your hard work and dedication to the horses. 💯💯💯🧘🏿♂️💪🏿🤝🏿
Любо-дорого! Респект профессионалу. У каждого мастера свои подходы к этому нелёгком труду. Это только одно копыто показано, а их всего 4. Здоровья вам в вашем нелёгком труде.
I don't know the first thing about what you do here, but I believe that you have done a awesome job... I enjoy very much watching you at work.. and what a beautiful patience horse 🐴 greetings from Australia 🇦🇺
Sir, that was a hell of a job. Great work.
Your passion for your work is very evident
Is being hunched over most of your day straining or do you just get used to it? Looks like very hard work, but you clearly are very good at it.
It takes a tremendous toll on the back and knees
Now there's a guy doing meaningful work. Thanks my brother
Fantastic work so glad the owner has found someone great to take care of the hoves.
How do you know when to stop trimming the soft material in the center of the hoof? And how do you know how much of the outside of the hoof to trim and not hurt the animal? I would imagine if you cut to deep or trim to much it would be very painful for the horse much like cutting our finger nails back to far. Enjoying your video. Thanks for taking the time to show us your craft.

I’ve heard that when you’re starting to get too close in the center it starts to feel springier/slightly softer and that’s when you should definitely stop.
But that’s only from what I’ve heard.
A horse owner -
He checks the softness of the sole a couple of times around the 5min mark by pressing with his thumbs. Like so many skill, a lot is down to feel and experience!
@@IAmADragonHearMeRoar The sole of the hoof capsule changes in feeling as the farrier trims material in terms of what the farrier can feel with a thumb and how the hoof knife moves through the material too. The older the material, the tougher it is to trim because it has less moisture.
Also the color of the material changes: the closer to "live" material, the more the material has a red tingle from the blood which bathes the "live" portions of the interior.
I am not very knowledgeable about large animals. I am originally from R.I. and living in Tulsa.Ok. ,but, from the first video I watched of you guys doing this kind of work,I have been absolutely fascinated with what you do. You all do some incredible work.
The horse is so patient while this is being done.
Horses tend to be very used to it but also if they sence the person riding them or doing this type of work is confident and knows what they are doing they tend to relax a lot more. Horses are far more intelligent than most give them credit.
I was hoping for a before and after shot of the hoof, but really, showing the two fronts next to each other WITH the massive pile of removed hoof…that was just better than I hoped.
Watching you working on horses, is like Pacaso painting a million dollar painting, you are absolutely the best at what you do
I remained in awe of this young man’s skills. Near the end of the video something dawned on me, this man’s back probably is killing him at days end.
More so his thighs and hips from stooping over like that! I spent two hours giving my dog a proper home grooming and man my thighs kill me for like 3 days can't even walk properly I look like an 80 yr old grandma 😂
@@animeloveer97 I can sympathize, I can’t say I’ve done more than giving my German Shepard a bath and that beats the heck out of me.
Such an excellent job! I love how you took your time and checked the hoof regurlarly through the process!😁
Great work,it’s a must to take pride in one’s work.. Well done sir…
No idea what I'm watching at 2am but boy is it satisfying!
wow, That's a lot of hard work! Beautiful job! Thanks for posting this.
I appreciate the work you do for these horses... I could not have dealt with this for the life of me, this is pure neglect.
I amazed at how his back doesn’t hurt from doing these! My back hurts on a daily and this guy has his back hunched over for what over 15 minutes if not more!! Damn he has all my respect
Most farriers suffer from overuse problems and arthritis in their older years. It's very hard on them.
Idk how this made it to my recommended but I’m glad it did. Very satisfying to watch
Nice work handling that shoe on the anvil! Your like a street performer! I can tell you like your job!
Definitely makes me feel happy to have to only deal with the problems of a human body. I can’t imagine having to bust out the belt sander and tin snips every time I needed to trim my toenails…
I used to work in podiatry and I’d use an electric drill on peoples hard thick toenails. You’d be surprised just how long and thick they can get when you don’t cut them for a while.😅
Thanks for helping this animal
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️✅✅✅✅✅
I have never seen this done.
Very impressive.
I bet the horse feels tons better after a major trim like that.
I live for your techniques, I love watching your videos
I have to say, what an amazingly behaved horse! Just stood there and took it like a champ.
I need a good pedicure myself! Seriously. Sometime that isn't scared. Love your work. Fascinating
Love the plastic hoof protection barrier!! That horn separation will probably take a couple showings to get to the bottom??
Wow! Amazing backbreaking work you are doing.
THANK YOU FOR HELPING THEM ..MY RESPECTS..💯🙏❤
You’re a damn fine craftsman buddy, I’ll tell you this right now. That horse is happy
Wow that must have been uncomfy for the horse! I haven’t watched a lot of farrier videos, but this hoof definitely looked and sounded a lot different to normal, especially when you started rasping! It sounded so much drier and stuff from growing out too far without reshoeing!
Excellent work, hoof looks in tiptop shape now
Thank you for your good work and concern for this animal.
You are an awesome farrier. Loved the video and the horse is so calm. What a back breaking job. Just wanted to recognize you for what you do.
Well at least they finally went to a proper farrier!! ❤️
I find that watching the work you farriers do very enjoyable and somewhat cathartic. But, as someone who has chronic back pain, I am amazed at the length of time you are bent over at that angle. 👍🏻😬
I love that they end it with a clear coat nail polish. Extra fancy! (but for real what was that product and what is it used for?)
It's a sealant and it's the same as some of the clear coat nail polishes for people that are meant to help protect the nail and make them stronger.
Wow that was over due, thanks for sharing your work with us. I hope the horse has a more scheduled maintenance of the hoofs now that they hired you.
Lot of work but the end results are amazing! You do awesome work. 😊👍
That takes a special skill and you're pretty good at it I bet that horse probably feel a lot better as I'm watching you I'm amazed you're really talented
I am always in admiration of farriers i would not know where to start or how far to go at times it looks brutal but amazing job done and the horse is happy
Love the way you handle your tools. Nice job. Nice video. Lucky horse. Blessings to you.
It looks as like carving wood, as dangerous (i guess instruments are really sharp) and very concentrated. Nice job!
also theres a horse there😅
