For those wondering; Domestic horses reside in grass pastures which generally do not have enough rough terrain to wear down hooves. Additionally, they do not have to run as much and stand idle in stalls. Wild Horses on the other hand traverse over rocks, sticks, gravel, grass, etc and run quite often to travel or escape predators.
Therefore, the owner of a domestic horse should be paying attention to the hooves as well as the diet, coat and general well being. Nobody said it was easy.
This is damn near criminal to let a horses hooves get this bad. Thank you so very much for doing an amazing job and restoring some semblance of quality to the life of this beautiful horse.
I don't know the laws of wherever this is, but where I live, it is certainly criminal and the owners would be fined and banned from ever owning animals again. Absolutely disgusting.
@@gabriel-uc1uz I believe lots and *lots* of natural wear from the hard surfaces the horses regularly travel. It’s the same for wild dogs such as wolves
This horse is foundered. It could be lame for life. One way it happens is by letting them eat too much, or if they accidentally get into the food supply and gorge themselves.
You’ve definitely given this boy a new lease on life. The relief must be immense. Great job. I never thought at the start of the video that you could get them that close to perfect.
@@eatass5627 A "new lease on life" isn't an "emotion" ding dong. Troll away fool and get your GED and come back when you have something intelligent to say. Animals do feel pain you idiot.
You saved his life you know! 4 legs, every step is agony, for months, years maybe. No foot, no horse. Thank you, and thank you for passing on your knowledge to others.
There are some popular videos showing donkey hoof trimming in China. Their techniques and tools seem to be much better, unless horse hooves are much much harder than donkey hooves.
I was so saddened and almost overwhelmed at the beginning of this video. But the ferrier made this horse so happy. It honestly looks like art when he was finished! Disturbing that anyone would neglect such a beautiful animal!
Imagine how the horse feels after a little while when the hooves are reshaped and healed up and get new custom fitted shoes...they are a whole new horse.
Shod horses in the New England for 23 years and saw a few that were this bad. It was always immensely satisfying to find the proper hoof under all that growth and get the horses standing correct again. Many farriers do not have this mans ability to bring the hoof all the way back and think you have to do it gradually. You do not. These horses were immediately relieved and lucky to finally be in the care of a professional. Bravo.
I get that it's basically fingernails, but the strain on the tendons had to be immense, that's why I would vote for gradual change, maybe over a week or two, just to be safe. There might be a tendency to run with new abilities, which could easily damage a leg. You could stall them instead, I suppose.
@@sharksport01 yes, I believe so...hoof care is about restoring the proper angle of the coffin bone to restore normal flexion of the tendons in the leg. You can shoe a horse to improve this or adjust as needed.
I don’t think I’ve ever seen a hoof transformation this impressive, the trimming of the heel absolutely changes the formation of the hoof and the angle of the bone! He looks fantastic, all credit to you for you knowledge and work, you’ll be putting some fantastic farriers out into the world!
Horses are amazing, they already forgive their owners and will be loyal and do their job as soon as they get home, totally amazing creatures. I take my hat off to the farrier school for being so kind that instead of condemning the owners they encourage them to bring them back regularly. Education is a great tool with love and respect.
I just have enormous respect for anybody that is brilliant at their job, no matter if its manual work or something highly technical. That was just great to watch and the horse just had his life made immeasurably better.
Look up how much they could actually make and you’ll realize why some work very hard, but you’re right regardless of whatever you choose to do for a living you should do your best.
I imagine the relief this horse is feeling is equivalent to what i would feel after taking off my 6 inch heels after walking in them for LITERALLY YEARS.
@@XX-rs7sqyou can see him struggling to walk at the correct position at the end, surely will be sore for a while. tremendous relief on the tendon, I'm sure tho
Who would let the hoofs grow this long. Im surprised to how calm this horse is for not being worked with. I bet that this will be life changing for this horse.
@@coreywitton9699 uhm...but he doesn't own the horse, right? This is his job/business, he was called for his service, like those youtube channels that fix cow hooves, they don't own the cows. 🤷♀️
I know nothing about horses. Hooves can grow? I thought they are like a person's feet. What about wild horses? They don't have anyone to take care of them and they don't end up with long hooves, is this video real? Maybe this is some diseased horse?
@@henrylee8510 Horse hooves grow like a human's fingernails do. Their anatomy is different from ours though, as their foot has evolved into having this one cloved hoof shape rather than the fingered shape that ours do. Wild horses tend to do much more running than domestic horses do, which wears them down. Humans started shoeing horses with metal horse shoes in order to help protect their hooves if they were ridden a lot or would be used to, for example, frequently draw carts or plow field to make sure their hooves wouldn't grind down too quickly as that would mean that they couldn't be ridden or used to draw or plow until the hooves had recovered, which would take quite a while. You do, however, see cases where would horses also have funky-looking hooves if they've grown more sedentary for whatever reason, though it does happen less. Also, considering that hooves and nails are pretty similar in some sense, you can take a look at humans who have grown their nails to extraordinary lengths. You can see some similarity to the way these hooves looked at the beginning of the video.
If the owners did this, they should be fined for animal abuse. Unreal! Fantastic work at the end! Looked like nice hooves!!! Bless you for the relief....I would have been furious!
Forreal. They should be fined and their animals taken away. Life-long ban from keeping equines. I know these bans exists in the UK, I hope they exist in the US too.
No idea how this came up in my suggestions, and first time I've ever seen something like this but wow, this guy really knows his stuff and does an excellent job to help this poor animal.
yea I think youtube must be actually throwing random videos around so the system is not so suspicious when you say a word and it pops up a related video everytime 😂
@@209alfredo2091 They are what's known as "hot-bloods," meaning they are very energetic, flighty, and move around a lot. I'd suspect this horse has been given some medicine for calm, although years of being trapped in a stall and not being able to walk properly probably also affected his demeanor.
It's crazy he looks just like my stud that my father sold out from under me 3 years ago. I still hold his papers but have no clue what happened to him. Tell you one thing all the work and time I put into him I be pissed if some did that to him.
Having this corrected must have felt good/relieving to the horse… he was so patient and calm… these are those types of skills that are highly overlooked but very necessary…drastic change! Good job!
So yes it feels relieving, but the horse will likely be lame from the soreness of the change. A small small inconvenience for the incredible work they did on him! Bout a week he should be done being sore and a happy guy!
Your ability to see the “normal” hoof in all this overgrown hoof wall is nothing short of amazing. Some of it comes from intuition but most comes from hard work. Keep up the great work. The amount of suffering you’ve eliminated for these animals is commendable.
This made me very happy seeing how his hooves were restored to a comfortable and balanced shape making it easy for him to trot on firmly...you can even notice how his legs were adapted to the overgrown hooves he had before...bless your work fine sir, you're a certified good human being 💯🐎
I really like that you included all four hooves in the video, some of them I only see one hoove, but being able to see the whole restoration makes me feel a lot better about the horse
@@malibu2.010 that's not true at all. Most horses do not get sedated for hoof trimming. Perhaps most severely neglected horses get sedated? But not regular horses that are used to being handled. That said, this guy seems very calm. Maybe it's an edit job, maybe he feels the relief and knows things are getting better and just let it happen
Wow, what an amazing job. I can't believe you got the hoof angle and shape that close to normal in one session. You definitely know what you're doing. I noticed the horse was throwing his feet forward after the hoof "surgery" when he walked, having adapted his walking style for his awfully neglected hooves. It'll take a little time for him to adapt back. Fantastic job. You must get immense satisfaction. People can be so cruel with their neglect.
I dont know much about horses but i noticed that too, i could definitely tell that the horses walking style was kind of off based on how it would be walking with those long round hooves. Looks like it’s trying to roll on its feet when it walks.
Always amazing to see how patiently these horses stand for such an extended treatment. They must've been so uncomfortable for so long and yet they have no qualms about picking up their feet and standing beautifully. I wouldn't be quite so gracious and forgiving.
@@usenamenotallowed I don't think the horses were sedated, and even if they were, are you really going to pretend that keeping a scared animal relaxed and calm while you help it is a bad thing? They're not killing the horse, they're actually improving it's health and quality of life, so even if they were sedating them, I don't think that's a bad thing given the circumstances
@@pvppy-boy Since he was so good to stand there with all of the other horses and activity around, he probably hasn't been handled much or at all in several years, and dropping his "boy parts," especially when walking a bit, I would bet money that there was a nice cocktail in him making the procedure easier on everyone. Even with fairly heavy sedation a horse can stand for the farrier pretty easy. Just because he was neglected doesn't mean he is scared. He probably was well trained in an earlier life before he landed with someone who ignored him (and at least one other horse seen in the background later in the video.)
Anytime a power tool is used on a horse like this for safety reasons alone they would be sedated. That tool vibrates so hard not many animals stand for that. Plus it's just cruel to make them stand for that long on a hard surface even though we are helping. So yes, I'm these instances sedation is very necessary
@Stephanie Palmer And thats perfectly fine. Safer for the horse and the human. I look at it like going to the dentist to get something like impacted wisdom teeth out. They can do it with just the novocaine, but a lot of people prefer a little something extra just so they dont have to see/hear all the power tools and chisels.
Remember that the Lord Jesus Christ died on a cross for you because He loves you so much. He then rose up from the dead three days later The Ten Commandments are called the moral law, (most of us are lying thieving blasphemous adulterer at heart and deserve hell) you and I broke the law, Jesus paid the fine. That’s what happened on that cross. By believing that Jesus died on the cross and rose up from the dead 3 days later and not just confessing your sin, but also repenting of all sin you have done and putting all your trust in Him in prayer, He will grant you everlasting life as a free Gift.
He's a beautiful stud, and has to feel immensely better now that his feet are properly trimmed. It's so frustrating to see so many good horses lame due to neglect, ignorance, and/or lack of compassion.
Yeah honestly I understand people h falling on hard times & not being able to afford things but if that’s the case learn to trim your horse’s hooves yourself. A good file down once a month, even if it’s not perfect, would be a huge improvement over what this stud. experienced.
Excellent work my friend! Unbelievable how long this poor horse has been neglected, soft grass or not that doesn't grow that out of control in a few weeks. Thank you for working so diligently to restore him. The experienced eye sees the cuts I advance so no further harm is done. Bless you for restoring him
Amazing how patient and understanding the horse was knowing he was finally getting some new shoes 😊 great job on taking care of him and the work that you do 👏
The relief that poor horse must feel. My God give the horse to someone who cares before letting their care get so out of control. You did a fantastic job! ❤❤
Horseshoeing videos are one of the most satisfying - its art and kindness wrapped into one. The trust the animals shows and stays still is amazing- and the visual satisfaction of the horse being at its comfortable best brings so much joy. God bless these guys!
@@steven401ytxwe hire Farriers for our mini donkeys, they have to work a lot of animals to make a living. It's a hard job even if the animal cooperates. If it doesn't, it's money hard earned, because it can be a battle of wills. We have a good one that comes out on a regular schedule now and it's well worth it. One of our donkeys had long hooves when we got him, not this long, but it was bending his ankles too much. He's doing great now.

Unbelievable hoof trim. I'm still in shock at his condition. If you can't afford to take care of your animal then find someone who can! Ty for the hoof lesson.
What a wonderful gift you have given this beautiful horse. Not only the new shoes, but the time and love spent must have truly touched his heart! I learned a lot and I am very impressed with your skill and knowledge of your craft- but most of all, your kindness. What a guy.
Not a horse person, but appreciate all animals. Very cool and satisfying to see expert animal care takers giving them better lives. Great job and keep it up!
Seen hoofs growing into leg of neighbors horse. Said horse could walk after getting hoofs fixed. I saw legs bleeding from trying to walk. Mean people for a neighbor.
I haven't spent much time around horses but it amazes me how calm they are through this whole process, even the bit when using the saw. Excellent work!
I'm guessing this horse is sedated. And i believe that it would be far to uncomfortable for this horse to go through all of this while not sedated to be honest.
The horse is being so patient, he probably knows he being helped and he'll feel so much better afterwards! 🥰 I can't believe someone would let this happen to such a beautiful soul! 😢
If they're Arabians, they were worth a lot at one time, so they would have been cared for. One of mine fell asleep and actually fell over. My farrier had never seen that before!
Lenora, there's a video on UA-cam with a sheep having longer hooves than this horse , and when they were trimmed the sheep would lift up it's legs high , but the weight of those hooves was no longer there so the sheep had to get used to it again, I'm sure if felt tremendous relief though.
This video popped up in my feed for some reason but wow what a watch, firstly I was appalled that someone had let the horses hooves get soooo bad and then the wonderful work you performed on the hooves to make them look so much better and comfortable for the horse is truly a skilled art. Thanks for sharing and great job.😊
I sat here in sheer amazement at the incredible job you did for this little horse. You are not merely a farrier, sir. You are an artist! I bet you feel amazing after helping a horse like this. God bless you and your wonderful work. You probably saved this horse's life!
@@williamgrimberg2510 I mean trimming in general costs at least $150, so this could easily go for a at least $400 imo (I google searched this + I ride horses)
🙀 I’ve never In my life seen a horse hooves like that before! That honestly breaks my heart. It’s so good to see that there’s wonderful people like u guys in the world making a difference in a beautiful way! Keep up the amazing work! 💙💜💙💜
I'm about 3/4 of the way through the video and am absolutely amazed as to how perfect the final hooves look. I would have thought it wasn't possible in one operation.
I've been shoein' for over 65 yrs, that stud had the longest hoof i've ever seen... we work alike... great job thnx for your teaching here on utube... most young farriers i've seen nowadays are short on knowledge of what they are doing
you know, its hearing this that makes my guilt all the worse for ignoring a case of neglect years ago when i was just freshly an adult. I was bordering on homeless and the guy I was living with was an older guy who had a couple of horses boarded in his private barn and the owners hadn't been taking care of it and he didn't have the money to get it reshoed or anything and he wasn't a farrier. That horse had hooves easily twice as long as this one and they were curling around in a spiral. I visited it just once and saw how it had to trudge through a foot of thick mud on those hooves and I was so devastated I never went and visited it again. I wanted to call someone so bad, but I was only 19 and had no idea who to even contact and I was afraid I would end up homeless because it would be hard not to know it was me who called and the guy was so poor, a fine could have made him lose his house. It is honestly my biggest regret in life. I had no idea it was a bad enough level of neglect to be unique to someone with your experience. I hope to god that horse got help or passed peacefully because it was in absolutely miserable conditions. I've never talked about this because I'm so ashamed I didn't do anything
@@toyotaecw cuz you could easily take off too much hoof, with horses, you need to be a lot more careful on how much you take off, also, horses spook easily, there are horses that don't like electric machinery near them, due to the noise.
@@SMcCaskill Maybe not because I see another horse with hooves just as bad in the background waiting for a trim. So it might just be that the owners are finally trimming them
Great video and great transformation! I know it isn't practical but it would be so satisfying to see the results after about 4 weeks, when he's had a chance for his muscles, tendons and ligaments to re-adjust to a more normal posture and he's had a chance to get used to walking normally, without the risk of stabbing his front feet with those long back feet. Right afterwards, I'm sure he was walking better--and certainly feeling better--but you could still see the abnormal movement pattern imposed by years of neglect.
No surprise that he's four legged lame: months of muscle and joint distortion. Should have a good liniment massage and rub down all over and standing wraps to support joints and ease pain. Some Bute wouldn't go amiss either.
Keeping in contact with the client/whoever purchases the horse can be one way to see the transformation. Simply asking to send in a video shot on your phone or a camera would be one way to keep tabs. Of course, you would need permission to use it in a video or have it as part of the work contract as I'm sure the video captured here was as well. Businesses do before-and-afters all the time as a way to advertise their skill and ability, it's not entirely impractical. I was thinking the same thing myself as I watched the horse jaunt around a bit right at the end of the video.
@@blibla181 it's not the pain, it's just the horse got used to walk with those "boots" and now it's unusual for it to walk normally again. It will get better in some time.
@@tonybloodloss you can see it still feels pain... What do you expect? That just because the medical treatment is done all pain id gone directly? Of course not.. Thats normal but you can see it that it still feel pain
@@schwarmi9804 in nature they keep running a lot so their feet stay in shape bcz of all the grinding and all with the ground , but in captivity we need to take care of them as they dont run that much
@@goblincomic4522 There are no apex predators that could threaten a horse on the Arabian peninsula and as the previous post said, this doesn’t happen to horses in the wild
On the one hand, I guess it's good you guys have the opportunity to teach your student how to deal with serious cases like this. On the other, it's appalling that you get so MANY of them. God bless you for the work you do.
I hope the people responsible for allowing this beautiful animal to get into such a terrible situation are punished. That person needs to have to walk just like this poor animal! Horrible animal cruelty.
I figure most of these horses are coming from slaughter houses or feed lots...just seems that way to me. Hopefully they can be rehomed or at least put somewhere with adequate care.
@@poisonapple6138 these horses really are purebred arabians. Every single cell of them show off the purity of this breed so they don't come from feed lots let alone from slaughter houses. Plus, as the video title says, they are stud stallions. The one in the background is in the same state. This beeing said, I will never understand how people can neglect their animals. They even don't imagine the suffering the horses undergo. If only they'd let their toes nails overgrowing they would run to the pedicure as soon as possible because of pain.
I use to help out a woman with her horses when I was in foster care. I got taught how to brush them and pretty much take care of them. I'm going to give the owner the benefit of the doubt and say they rescued the horse and got in touch with you to help the horse out. No matter how this happened I'm so so happy and relieved this wonderful horse received the care he needed
Backbreaking, labor intensive job. These farriers are magicians when it comes to healthy hoofs. I know it is even painful after the trim and the horse has to adjust to their new posture and feel of trimmed hooves. Beautiful transformation.
What I found fascinating was how just uncomfortable the horse appeared with his old shoes or rather army boots. After you worked on the first hoove he started to realize that this was a good thing and settle down and even when you were done which was a wonderful looking job by the way he still walked tentatively especially with his hind legs because he was expecting to feel the ungainly shoes that he was used to. It was a rewarding experience to observe that. Thank you so much you have a good day. Best regards, Bob from Virginia USA
@@samanthagarbettcharles4205 I knew that I just spoke wrong I'm not sleeping and after 3-4 days I got a little goofy but thank you for pointing that out and when I mentioned the army boots is because they sure did look like army boots. Yes they are hooves. Thank you for pointing that out. Best regards Bob from Virginia
Hey Bob, I knew what you meant from the very beginning. I'm surprised anyone wouldn't realize you were just trying to be funny when you called them "shoes" . Anyway, so long! -Christopher from Missouri
What a calm temperament. I’d have expected An Arabian stud who hadn’t had his hooves touched in who knows how long, would have been high spirited. Beautiful boy. I hope he finds a good home. He’ll make some owner lucky.
That is one happy horse. When I was a reining farrier apprentice we never had one that long. These horses you guys are trimming/shoeing with long hooves like that are in great hands and I hope they all go to a good loving home after they are fully rehabbed
We use to have a horse that LOVED hoof trims and grooming sessions. Damn horse would fall asleep during the trimming and grooming and we would have to give her a slight smack on the shoulder to wake her up or else she would fall over usually toward the person trimming or grooming her. She was a very gentle horse, very protective, and 100% a beautiful horse that just couldn't be matched by many of these others. Still miss her from time to time, she was the only horse I ever felt safe riding and being near (besides during the trim sessions of course)
🥰 lol, as a horse owner and lover I really love this. Sorry to say, my boy was thrown with his first shoeing because he slightly resisted the left hind foot. My dad and I both regretted choosing the farrier. After that we got a really good one who "talked" him out of his fear. He was a damn magician. Praise to those who have the patience and understanding to fix these horses. ❤❤❤
@misternoname people say Wildhorses just run enough but I think they just don't have as nutritious diets which plays a big part into the hoof not breaking down or wearing down as easily. My dogs paws would be ruined if I didn't trim his nails every day, and people claim to just walk your dog on cement but nope, doesn't work. Might keep the nails from curling around the paw if you neglect your dog.
Most satisfying video I've ever watched. You must feel great after giving this horse his feet and life back. He likely hasn't been able to move faster than a walk for the last 4 or 5 years BTW, You do excellent work.
Such a beautiful horse and so well-behaved while you were taking care of his feet. It's almost like he knew you were there to save him. Thank goodness.
He neglects his own horse for months so he can film this video for millions of views Despicable practice I'd say UA-cam greed is fostering this kind of toxic culture
@@caralosmendezgomez9048 sure every single horse is always tranquilized? I was trying to just say something nice and I thought it was a beautiful experience and glad they didn't have to like fight the horse in order to get his shit taken care of.

Oh, wow, I wouldn't even know where to begin. I just want to say that I'm so happy that there are people like you out there doing such a great job. I've never seen a horse with hooves that bad. Showed up in my feed, very well done and I wish you all the best. Thumbs UP!
@@UntakenNick with this level of experience i am sure he was doing this work before UA-cam came about, stop being so negative and enjoy the fact this horse will get some normality
I asked my wife about this, she had horses growing up. Some horses are not super cooperative about this, but generally horses are trained to be used to hoof care. And farriers use a number of techniques both to keep the horse calm and comfortable, and keep them positioned and contained in a way that makes it safer to work on like this. But, I imagine every farrier has been kicked.
I did a 4 year old barely handled stud who had seberely over grown hooves. Not this bad but ugly none the less. He stood like a champ. I had to hold and trim as his owner was not very helpful being extremely elderly with no horse experience. I swear he knew
Why in our world would someone neglect this gorgeous horse??? And there's another one waiting for his turn in the background.😥. It's an act of love to help heal this horse.❤🐎🇺🇸 This farrier's skill is fascinating to watch. Before & after is incredible. Excellent work sir! You are a gift.
you are an amazing craftsman to be able to make these hooves look this good... I am sure there was a lot of work that day.. an eleven minute video cannot possibly show everything you went through.. the horse seemed compliant enough for you to get him back on solid footing again...beautiful job..
Только кости, суставы уже привыкли к другому положению. Поэтому она так странно ставит одну переднюю ногу. Надеюсь восстановятся в правильное анатомическое положение со временем.
Several things here amaze me. 1. is that someone allowed these hooves to get to this point. 2. Is watching you just saw saw the ends off (mighty cool). 3. That you got these hooves looking almost normal! Say what?! That's incredible. That horse has to feel 1000X better!! Incredible job. Incredible video.
Thank you for returning this stud back to normal. I'm also happy that you are showing the horses being walked at the trim, great to see. You are a master at trimming and shoeing, Sir.
It always amazes me that these horses seem to understand that they are being helped. With this understanding, they freely give up their feet (with trust) to have them trimmed and cared for.

I'm amazed at how calm that horse is when it obviously has little to no experience with having it's hooves cared for. I'm sure he is so relieved
maybe just it felt that good!

It might've also been sedated which would be understandable if the horse isn't used to humans... might be safer this way

There might be a tendency to run with new abilities, which could easily damage a leg. You could stall them instead, I suppose.
After this cutting, will he require more hoof care in the coming weeks/months than another horse who has been trimmed on a appropriate schedule?
@@sharksport01 yes, I believe so...hoof care is about restoring the proper angle of the coffin bone to restore normal flexion of the tendons in the leg. You can shoe a horse to improve this or adjust as needed.
I don’t think I’ve ever seen a hoof transformation this impressive, the trimming of the heel absolutely changes the formation of the hoof and the angle of the bone! He looks fantastic, all credit to you for you knowledge and work, you’ll be putting some fantastic farriers out into the world!
Horses are amazing, they already forgive their owners and will be loyal and do their job as soon as they get home, totally amazing creatures. I take my hat off to the farrier school for being so kind that instead of condemning the owners they encourage them to bring them back regularly. Education is a great tool with love and respect.
I just have enormous respect for anybody that is brilliant at their job, no matter if its manual work or something highly technical. That was just great to watch and the horse just had his life made immeasurably better.
My thoughts exactly. 😊
I 3rd that notion, any time I see ppl flourish in their craft it makes me wanna learn instantly 👌🏾😊
I totally agree! This artist did an amazing job on that stud's hooves!
They can be both ya know, just cuz us manual labor guys make it look easy. Just busting ur 🥎s I know what u mean. 😉
Look up how much they could actually make and you’ll realize why some work very hard, but you’re right regardless of whatever you choose to do for a living you should do your best.
I imagine the relief this horse is feeling is equivalent to what i would feel after taking off my 6 inch heels after walking in them for LITERALLY YEARS.
Might act be difficult to walk now. The horse is so used to neglect that he probably has to regain strength in its ankles...
@@XX-rs7sqyou can see him struggling to walk at the correct position at the end, surely will be sore for a while. tremendous relief on the tendon, I'm sure tho
Omg this poor gorgeous creature!!!
Pretty much, yeah! Plus, you'd have damage in your joints and tendons that would need to heal
So....why do you wear 6" heels then?
Who would let the hoofs grow this long. Im surprised to how calm this horse is for not being worked with. I bet that this will be life changing for this horse.
Left this long for UA-cam. I'd almost bet my life on it. Hope I'm wrong thought
Though
@@coreywitton9699 uhm...but he doesn't own the horse, right? This is his job/business, he was called for his service, like those youtube channels that fix cow hooves, they don't own the cows. 🤷♀️
I know nothing about horses. Hooves can grow? I thought they are like a person's feet.
What about wild horses? They don't have anyone to take care of them and they don't end up with long hooves, is this video real? Maybe this is some diseased horse?
@@henrylee8510 Horse hooves grow like a human's fingernails do. Their anatomy is different from ours though, as their foot has evolved into having this one cloved hoof shape rather than the fingered shape that ours do.
Wild horses tend to do much more running than domestic horses do, which wears them down. Humans started shoeing horses with metal horse shoes in order to help protect their hooves if they were ridden a lot or would be used to, for example, frequently draw carts or plow field to make sure their hooves wouldn't grind down too quickly as that would mean that they couldn't be ridden or used to draw or plow until the hooves had recovered, which would take quite a while. You do, however, see cases where would horses also have funky-looking hooves if they've grown more sedentary for whatever reason, though it does happen less.
Also, considering that hooves and nails are pretty similar in some sense, you can take a look at humans who have grown their nails to extraordinary lengths. You can see some similarity to the way these hooves looked at the beginning of the video.
If the owners did this, they should be fined for animal abuse. Unreal! Fantastic work at the end! Looked like nice hooves!!! Bless you for the relief....I would have been furious!
On a stud horse? Unbelievable! How can people do this? No more animals for them! Not even a fish. Thank you so much.
Forreal. They should be fined and their animals taken away. Life-long ban from keeping equines. I know these bans exists in the UK, I hope they exist in the US too.
Yes it's horrific
Why on earth would ANYONE neglect an obviously valuable animal? Neglect of any animal is horrendous but this is downright puzzling
You got that right!!!🤬
Agreed
No idea how this came up in my suggestions, and first time I've ever seen something like this but wow, this guy really knows his stuff and does an excellent job to help this poor animal.
Ya ..Ive never looked up or said anything about a horse lately and this was suggested..I'm glad I watched it ...poor 🐴🐎
Same here, but now may watch other videos on this subject.
Owned horses for years and it's very satisfying watching a farrier do this. A bonus my border collie would love a piece of hoof like that
yea I think youtube must be actually throwing random videos around so the system is not so suspicious when you say a word and it pops up a related video everytime 😂
Same 😂
For such overgrown neglected hooves he stands there very nicely. He has been waiting for this trim for a long long time. Great job!
He’s Arabian, a stud and neglected so I imagine they used plenty of sedation.
Horse looks clean and walking good thank you for this video
@@joellel3527Are Arabian horses harder to work with?
@@joellel3527not too much sedation coz he was standing up ok....maybe a bit of muscle relaxant
@@209alfredo2091 They are what's known as "hot-bloods," meaning they are very energetic, flighty, and move around a lot. I'd suspect this horse has been given some medicine for calm, although years of being trapped in a stall and not being able to walk properly probably also affected his demeanor.
Dear horse, very lucky to have met someone who restored you hooves properly. Thank you so much.
It’s amazing just how calm the horse is. I’m sure he’s very happy! Great job well done!
Liquid Tylenol
This horse is so well behaved and decent throughout this procedure. It shows that at one time he may have been very well cared for.
Probably drugged up too. They gave him the good stuff.
WoW.... This was hard to watch...
It's crazy he looks just like my stud that my father sold out from under me 3 years ago. I still hold his papers but have no clue what happened to him. Tell you one thing all the work and time I put into him I be pissed if some did that to him.
@@JonBecker81 And probably in so much pain, depressed, & hopeless, he cdnt imagine it being any worse. PRISON for animal cruelty!
They get used to it from previous 'manicures'. I've seen this aplenty growing up.
Having this corrected must have felt good/relieving to the horse… he was so patient and calm… these are those types of skills that are highly overlooked but very necessary…drastic change! Good job!
Pets don't understand human language but I'm sure they can get when a human trully wants to help them. The best outcome for a poor suffering horse.
@@kiaraclement-martin5508 yeah!
So yes it feels relieving, but the horse will likely be lame from the soreness of the change. A small small inconvenience for the incredible work they did on him! Bout a week he should be done being sore and a happy guy!
Your ability to see the “normal” hoof in all this overgrown hoof wall is nothing short of amazing. Some of it comes from intuition but most comes from hard work. Keep up the great work. The amount of suffering you’ve eliminated for these animals is commendable.
I love that you explained that you have to take the heel down also. Not just the toe. And I love that you showed all 4 feet done. GREAT VIDEO!!!
When he said 'a foundation to build a new foot' that broke me.
@@zekec608811:17 me too 😢
This made me very happy seeing how his hooves were restored to a comfortable and balanced shape making it easy for him to trot on firmly...you can even notice how his legs were adapted to the overgrown hooves he had before...bless your work fine sir, you're a certified good human being 💯🐎
LOVELY
I thought they gave it cowboy boots for fun
Ikr
❤❤❤❤
I really like that you included all four hooves in the video, some of them I only see one hoove, but being able to see the whole restoration makes me feel a lot better about the horse
I totally agree. Especially because each hoof was so different. Poor soul. No animal should have to suffer when it could have been prevented.
There was another horse in the background at the beginning also with hooves this bad.
God Bless youvfirvhelping this beautiful horse. You've saved its life & given it hope & comfort.
I'm amazed at how calm these horses are. My dogs hear a power tool and they're on their way to Canada, devil take the hindmost.
Idk for a fact that this guy practices sedating the horse prior but from what google says often times horses are sedated for their hoof trimming
@@malibu2.010 that's not true at all. Most horses do not get sedated for hoof trimming. Perhaps most severely neglected horses get sedated? But not regular horses that are used to being handled. That said, this guy seems very calm. Maybe it's an edit job, maybe he feels the relief and knows things are getting better and just let it happen
@@wesleymagill4993 appreciate the knowledge
Because dogs and horses are different and hearing sensitivity is different obviously lol. How are you even comparison a horse to dog?
Horses were made for warfare......they run towards war not like coward dogs who run away from dangers
Wow, what an amazing job. I can't believe you got the hoof angle and shape that close to normal in one session. You definitely know what you're doing. I noticed the horse was throwing his feet forward after the hoof "surgery" when he walked, having adapted his walking style for his awfully neglected hooves. It'll take a little time for him to adapt back. Fantastic job. You must get immense satisfaction. People can be so cruel with their neglect.
I dont know much about horses but i noticed that too, i could definitely tell that the horses walking style was kind of off based on how it would be walking with those long round hooves. Looks like it’s trying to roll on its feet when it walks.
Always amazing to see how patiently these horses stand for such an extended treatment. They must've been so uncomfortable for so long and yet they have no qualms about picking up their feet and standing beautifully. I wouldn't be quite so gracious and forgiving.
@@usenamenotallowed I don't think the horses were sedated, and even if they were, are you really going to pretend that keeping a scared animal relaxed and calm while you help it is a bad thing? They're not killing the horse, they're actually improving it's health and quality of life, so even if they were sedating them, I don't think that's a bad thing given the circumstances
@@pvppy-boy Since he was so good to stand there with all of the other horses and activity around, he probably hasn't been handled much or at all in several years, and dropping his "boy parts," especially when walking a bit, I would bet money that there was a nice cocktail in him making the procedure easier on everyone. Even with fairly heavy sedation a horse can stand for the farrier pretty easy. Just because he was neglected doesn't mean he is scared. He probably was well trained in an earlier life before he landed with someone who ignored him (and at least one other horse seen in the background later in the video.)
That's the thing that hurts the most...these poor abused creatures still have such trust . Drugs or no, their eye shows that trust.
Anytime a power tool is used on a horse like this for safety reasons alone they would be sedated. That tool vibrates so hard not many animals stand for that. Plus it's just cruel to make them stand for that long on a hard surface even though we are helping. So yes, I'm these instances sedation is very necessary
@Stephanie Palmer
And thats perfectly fine. Safer for the horse and the human.
I look at it like going to the dentist to get something like impacted wisdom teeth out. They can do it with just the novocaine, but a lot of people prefer a little something extra just so they dont have to see/hear all the power tools and chisels.
Those are the most perfectly foundered hooves I have seen. Nice work. My back hurts just watching these guys work.
That horse must feel so much better with the job you have done. Fascinating to watch you work, a real craftsman working magic.
The horse probably won't feel the effects immediately, a big hoof change can leave them sore. But in a few days that horse is going to feel brand new.
I think the farrier's wrists were probably a little sore after this❤

Horses know when you're doing something to help them.
Like Libra says....they really are sensitive to our empathy....that's why they are amazing animals for human rehabilitation.
@@exiledking7077looks like a young animal so probably not yet developed that aggressiveness, we can't project human emotions like empathy on animals
Remember that the Lord Jesus Christ died on a cross for you because He loves you so much. He then rose up from the dead three days later
The Ten Commandments are called the moral law, (most of us are lying thieving blasphemous adulterer at heart and deserve hell) you and I broke the law, Jesus paid the fine. That’s what happened on that cross.
By believing that Jesus died on the cross and rose up from the dead 3 days later and not just confessing your sin, but also repenting of all sin you have done and putting all your trust in Him in prayer, He will grant you everlasting life as a free Gift.
@@dove3853 but we weren't even born when Jesus died, how could he have dies for my sin?
He's a beautiful stud, and has to feel immensely better now that his feet are properly trimmed. It's so frustrating to see so many good horses lame due to neglect, ignorance, and/or lack of compassion.
Yeah honestly I understand people h falling on hard times & not being able to afford things but if that’s the case learn to trim your horse’s hooves yourself. A good file down once a month, even if it’s not perfect, would be a huge improvement over what this stud. experienced.
Never blame on intention what can easily be explained on ignorance and stupidity.

The relief that poor horse must feel. My God give the horse to someone who cares before letting their care get so out of control. You did a fantastic job! ❤❤
I’ve never Seen anything like this in my life! Thank you for giving this horse their life back.
The horse seems so patient. And probably extremely grateful.
He said in the video it was tranquilized. It’s living its best more carefree life at that moment and getting a spa treatment. 😊😆
Horseshoeing videos are one of the most satisfying - its art and kindness wrapped into one. The trust the animals shows and stays still is amazing- and the visual satisfaction of the horse being at its comfortable best brings so much joy. God bless these guys!
They do it because it pays very well
@@steven401ytxwe hire Farriers for our mini donkeys, they have to work a lot of animals to make a living. It's a hard job even if the animal cooperates. If it doesn't, it's money hard earned, because it can be a battle of wills. We have a good one that comes out on a regular schedule now and it's well worth it. One of our donkeys had long hooves when we got him, not this long, but it was bending his ankles too much. He's doing great now.

How do wild horses deal with this?
@@conpa18danyRunning more which grinds down their hooves
@@conpa18dany😂
@@conpa18dany Domestic horses reside in grass pastures which generally do not have enough rough terrain to wear down hooves. Additionally, they do not have to run as much and stand idle in stalls. Wild Horses on the other hand traverse over rocks, sticks, gravel, grass, etc and run quite often to travel or escape predators.
@@PhilipLewis-cv8wd I am dissapointed, I was hoping that the horses would go to Home Depot and buy a grinder.
Unbelievable hoof trim. I'm still in shock at his condition. If you can't afford to take care of your animal then find someone who can! Ty for the hoof lesson.
What a wonderful gift you have given this beautiful horse. Not only the new shoes, but the time and love spent must have truly touched his heart! I learned a lot and I am very impressed with your skill and knowledge of your craft- but most of all, your kindness. What a guy.

As someone who keeps goats I feel the same. Most of my goats are drama goats about hoof trims.
I'm guessing this horse is sedated. And i believe that it would be far to uncomfortable for this horse to go through all of this while not sedated to be honest.
@@eliajoe22if you look it up it’s actually more dangerous to sedate horses. They will wake up and knock your lights out.

If they're Arabians, they were worth a lot at one time, so they would have been cared for. One of mine fell asleep and actually fell over. My farrier had never seen that before!
🥰🥰🥰🥰
Lenora, there's a video on UA-cam with a sheep having longer hooves than this horse , and when they were trimmed the sheep would lift up it's legs high , but the weight of those hooves was no longer there so the sheep had to get used to it again, I'm sure if felt tremendous relief though.
Probably sedated. A direct kick from a horse ain't pretty.
This video popped up in my feed for some reason but wow what a watch, firstly I was appalled that someone had let the horses hooves get soooo bad and then the wonderful work you performed on the hooves to make them look so much better and comfortable for the horse is truly a skilled art.

I've been shoein' for over 65 yrs, that stud had the longest hoof i've ever seen... we work alike... great job thnx for your teaching here on utube... most young farriers i've seen nowadays are short on knowledge of what they are doing
you know, its hearing this that makes my guilt all the worse for ignoring a case of neglect years ago when i was just freshly an adult. I was bordering on homeless and the guy I was living with was an older guy who had a couple of horses boarded in his private barn and the owners hadn't been taking care of it and he didn't have the money to get it reshoed or anything and he wasn't a farrier. That horse had hooves easily twice as long as this one and they were curling around in a spiral. I visited it just once and saw how it had to trudge through a foot of thick mud on those hooves and I was so devastated I never went and visited it again. I wanted to call someone so bad, but I was only 19 and had no idea who to even contact and I was afraid I would end up homeless because it would be hard not to know it was me who called and the guy was so poor, a fine could have made him lose his house. It is honestly my biggest regret in life. I had no idea it was a bad enough level of neglect to be unique to someone with your experience. I hope to god that horse got help or passed peacefully because it was in absolutely miserable conditions. I've never talked about this because I'm so ashamed I didn't do anything
Why not just use an angle grinder with a disc similar to what cattle hoof trimmers use? You’d shave hours off your time.
I read this comment with a very patriotic southern accent Incase you wanted to know(I’m not American at all)

Great video and great transformation!
I know it isn't practical but it would be so satisfying to see the results after about 4 weeks, when he's had a chance for his muscles, tendons and ligaments to re-adjust to a more normal posture and he's had a chance to get used to walking normally, without the risk of stabbing his front feet with those long back feet. Right afterwards, I'm sure he was walking better--and certainly feeling better--but you could still see the abnormal movement pattern imposed by years of neglect.
No surprise that he's four legged lame: months of muscle and joint distortion. Should have a good liniment massage and rub down all over and standing wraps to support joints and ease pain. Some Bute wouldn't go amiss either.
Keeping in contact with the client/whoever purchases the horse can be one way to see the transformation. Simply asking to send in a video shot on your phone or a camera would be one way to keep tabs. Of course, you would need permission to use it in a video or have it as part of the work contract as I'm sure the video captured here was as well. Businesses do before-and-afters all the time as a way to advertise their skill and ability, it's not entirely impractical. I was thinking the same thing myself as I watched the horse jaunt around a bit right at the end of the video.

I figure most of these horses are coming from slaughter houses or feed lots...just seems that way to me. Hopefully they can be rehomed or at least put somewhere with adequate care.

@@poisonapple6138 these horses really are purebred arabians. Every single cell of them show off the purity of this breed so they don't come from feed lots let alone from slaughter houses. Plus, as the video title says, they are stud stallions. The one in the background is in the same state.

Backbreaking, labor intensive job. These farriers are magicians when it comes to healthy hoofs. I know it is even painful after the trim and the horse has to adjust to their new posture and feel of trimmed hooves. Beautiful transformation.
i just know that the horse feels so relieved by this. i’m so grateful for farriers who do this no matter how time consuming it is!

What I found fascinating was how just uncomfortable the horse appeared with his old shoes or rather army boots. After you worked on the first hoove he started to realize that this was a good thing and settle down and even when you were done which was a wonderful looking job by the way he still walked tentatively especially with his hind legs because he was expecting to feel the ungainly shoes that he was used to. It was a rewarding experience to observe that. Thank you so much you have a good day. Best regards, Bob from Virginia USA

That is one happy horse. When I was a reining farrier apprentice we never had one that long. These horses you guys are trimming/shoeing with long hooves like that are in great hands and I hope they all go to a good loving home after they are fully rehabbed
We use to have a horse that LOVED hoof trims and grooming sessions. Damn horse would fall asleep during the trimming and grooming and we would have to give her a slight smack on the shoulder to wake her up or else she would fall over usually toward the person trimming or grooming her. She was a very gentle horse, very protective, and 100% a beautiful horse that just couldn't be matched by many of these others. Still miss her from time to time, she was the only horse I ever felt safe riding and being near (besides during the trim sessions of course)
@misternonamethey run many kilometers a day across a variety of surfaces to keep their hooves in good condition
@misternonamelike dogs if you walk them regularly on pavement 👌🏻
My 115lb Bully grinds em down while he’s pulling me down the street lol
🥰 lol, as a horse owner and lover I really love this. Sorry to say, my boy was thrown with his first shoeing because he slightly resisted the left hind foot. My dad and I both regretted choosing the farrier. After that we got a really good one who "talked" him out of his fear. He was a damn magician. Praise to those who have the patience and understanding to fix these horses. ❤❤❤
Sounds like me during a pedicure or massage 😂
@misternoname people say Wildhorses just run enough but I think they just don't have as nutritious diets which plays a big part into the hoof not breaking down or wearing down as easily. My dogs paws would be ruined if I didn't trim his nails every day, and people claim to just walk your dog on cement but nope, doesn't work. Might keep the nails from curling around the paw if you neglect your dog.
Most satisfying video I've ever watched. You must feel great after giving this horse his feet and life back. He likely hasn't been able to move faster than a walk for the last 4 or 5 years BTW, You do excellent work.
You have a very rewarding job when you help a horse with overgrown feet like that.
Such a beautiful horse and so well-behaved while you were taking care of his feet. It's almost like he knew you were there to save him. Thank goodness.
He knew ❤️
He neglects his own horse for months so he can film this video for millions of views
Despicable practice I'd say
UA-cam greed is fostering this kind of toxic culture
nope horse knew nothing, they have a tranquilizer for those cases ketamine

@@caralosmendezgomez9048 sure every single horse is always tranquilized? I was trying to just say something nice and I thought it was a beautiful experience and glad they didn't have to like fight the horse in order to get his shit taken care of. Thanks for taking my nice sentiment and turning it into drug addiction for a horse or something negative and wierd
Oh, wow, I wouldn't even know where to begin. I just want to say that I'm so happy that there are people like you out there doing such a great job. I've never seen a horse with hooves that bad. Showed up in my feed, very well done and I wish you all the best. Thumbs UP!
Do you really think he would have done it if it didn't get him views?
@@UntakenNick dont be so narrow minded
@@UntakenNick with this level of experience i am sure he was doing this work before UA-cam came about, stop being so negative and enjoy the fact this horse will get some normality

I wonder at what point this horse knows that you're doing something to his benefit. He seems so patient.
I asked my wife about this, she had horses growing up. Some horses are not super cooperative about this, but generally horses are trained to be used to hoof care. And farriers use a number of techniques both to keep the horse calm and comfortable, and keep them positioned and contained in a way that makes it safer to work on like this. But, I imagine every farrier has been kicked.
considering that the horse had gone this long w/out being shoed, I am shocked he was this calm. Must’ve understood.
I did a 4 year old barely handled stud who had seberely over grown hooves. Not this bad but ugly none the less. He stood like a champ. I had to hold and trim as his owner was not very helpful being extremely elderly with no horse experience. I swear he knew
They seem to have a great sense when they are being helped

Золотые руки! Будь благословен! Низкий поклон,мира и добра твоему дому,уважаемый мастер!!!❤
Why in our world would someone neglect this gorgeous horse??? And there's another one waiting for his turn in the background.😥.
It's an act of love to help heal this horse.❤🐎🇺🇸
This farrier's skill is fascinating to watch.
Before & after is incredible.
Excellent work sir! You are a gift.
you are an amazing craftsman to be able to make these hooves look this good... I am sure there was a lot of work that day.. an eleven minute video cannot possibly show everything you went through.. the horse seemed compliant enough for you to get him back on solid footing again...beautiful job..
Только кости, суставы уже привыкли к другому положению. Поэтому она так странно ставит одну переднюю ногу. Надеюсь восстановятся в правильное анатомическое положение со временем.
As a former horse owner it brought tears to my eyes to see that. Thank you!!!
Wow. You just made a friend for life. I bet that you will be rewarded for this. Thanks sir.
Several things here amaze me. 1. is that someone allowed these hooves to get to this point. 2. Is watching you just saw saw the ends off (mighty cool). 3. That you got these hooves looking almost normal! Say what?! That's incredible. That horse has to feel 1000X better!! Incredible job. Incredible video.
i can’t imagine the relief that poor horse felt afterwards. thank you so much for fixing this poor boy up.
You did such amazing job restoring the hooves of that poor horse 👏!!! You just made the live of that horse so much happier!!! Well done 👏!!!
Poor baby! I can't imagine how much better he must feel now, what a relief
Thank you for returning this stud back to normal. I'm also happy that you are showing the horses being walked at the trim, great to see. You are a master at trimming and shoeing, Sir.
It always amazes me that these horses seem to understand that they are being helped. With this understanding, they freely give up their feet (with trust) to have them trimmed and cared for.
Excellent work. Thank you for saving this horse
This angers me to no end. Thank God for you and your ability to heal this beautiful animal's hoofs.
I agree.
There are two horses in this video with the same condition 😡
