I feel like a five year old that has stumbled into a conversation with grownups. I understand some of what's being said and trying to get the rest through context. That said, I enjoyed watching and listening.
@@Ratgodx Different worlds, man. I could tell you about my job. All the nitty gritty details about UV curable ink formulation/testing. Choosing the right photoinitiator package, how different PIs absorb optimally at different wavelengths, the importance of balancing long and short wavelength to avoid issues on the cured ink surface of thick films, choices that limit the how the cured ink will yellow, understanding how the pigment will absorb light as well and determining which ones and what percentages will work best, understanding that you can't just dump in a ton of PI, not only due to cost, but because at some level you're only going to hinder ink cure. There's a lot more to be said on them, but I rattled off what I could to make a point. I said nothing of the other approximate 90% of the formulation or the testing involved, but hey... ...I'm just a guy making ink
Just yesterday I adopted a beautiful Iberian mare. Her feet were horribly overgrown, and it was so painful she could barely stand for her trim. Now, she's resting in a huge pen, on clean, solid ground, with all the food and water she needs. I think I'm going to call her Freya. Farriers are some of the kindest people out there, thank them for helping your animals.
Ive had horses for nearly 40 yrs. Impressed with your explanations, knowledge, and demeaner with the horses. I had mostly Amish farriers over the years, whom I have been mostly happy with. One Amish farrier I had for 16 years was only aboit 4'10", and hummed the whole time. He used to bring his brown bag lunch when I d pick him up, and spend the day at my place. Such a pleasure to be around, and my horses and donkeys always seemed to know he was not there to harm them, but to help them. Your demeaner with these horses reminds me of my Amish farrier so much. He finally retired (73 yrs young). This year has been a little rough, as I have buried my horse of a lifetime (32yrs), a couple mths ago, both my donkeys(37 & 42 years), and my best friend and trail dog of 13 years, Mr Smoke......all in 7 months. I still have 3 farm cats who were feral, but their mom got killed, and I ve raised them. They are no longer feral, but they sure can hunt. No mice in my hay! Watching and listening to you reminds me its not too late to consider another horse or two, ....and a dog. Thank you for the very imformative and enjoyable videos
Very sorry to hear of your losses that is a tremendous amount of companion and special love to have lost in one year. It has been a year since I had to put down my 4 legged little buddy best friend, I still miss and see him in shadows out of the corner of my eye from time to time.
I feel like you’ve lived so much in your lifetime and it sounds like you spent your time with wonder animals and people. I’m sorry for your losses, they’re all waiting to see you again. Xoxo
Very sorry for all your losses. I'm sure they were loved and cared for, which is something many animals don't have the fortune of! Hope to have a neighbor like you someday so I can play with all the animals without the responsibility 😅
I did not know that the tanning process gives the leather antimicrobial properties. That is a plus for a healing hoof. Your pretty thoughtful in your treatment of your patients.
I was just going to make the same comment. This horse obviously knows that despite the pain it's going thru at the moment things are going to feel a lot better really soon. Most of us humans should learn to be as trusting.
God bless this man's heart. You can tell everything he does comes from the heart. The craftmanship is simply art level. I enjoyed every second and I don't even have a horse. I just love animals... and humans too.
I really appreciate how you handle this horse - I've seen a lot of other online farrier videos where they drop their feet when they're done, don't move down the leg, don't 'ask' for their feet but just kind of grab them, etc. My dad is a veterinarian and I used to be his assistant for shoeing our horses, as well as client horses, where I handed him tools - I was mostly just company - but still, he always taught me the same way to move around them that you do, where you let them know where you are, ask for their feet rather than make them move them with pain or pressure, and never drop them, all that. In the long run, that's so much nicer, because horses that get dropped, picked up harshly, etc. will end up so much harder to work with. They don't want to give you their foot if they can't trust you to hold it up nicely, they'll lean on you hard, and fight you on lifting up their feet, and over time you'll end up with a horse that's a pain to work on their feet. I really think it's nice to see that you don't do any of that less good stuff - thanks for showing it right and not just fast. It's noted and appreciated!
@@otohime8516 No this doesn't hurt them at all - if done right, as it is here. Its a lot like when we as humans trim our fingernails. It doesn't hurt unless we go too deep, right? Same thing here - only a horse's 'dossn't hurt' area is much thicker than ours. So long as the farrier knows what they're doing, the horse will only feel about the same as you feel when you trim your nails. And, it prevents a lot of pain and injury, as keeping the hoof shaped right and sturdy and lifting the more sensitive areas off the ground, which is what horseshoes do, keeps them from getting chipped or cracked hooves, and from getting punctures, rocks, or scrapes on the sensitive parts of their feet (again, more towards the center of the hoof where the frog is.) Hope that answers the question!
The little pets in between the different shoeing stages melt my heart 🥰 I love animals. Can’t resist the urge to pet them. I really need to see more horses. They’re such beautiful creatures
You do such a good job handling that horse by running your hands down so they know where you’re at and being so gentle. Love seeing your manner and calm energy. Thank you for sharing and explaining your professional process. Great job with that shoe!!
I’ve barely worked with horses but I was always told ‘only do these specific spots when cleaning the feet or you’ll hurt the horse!’ So at the beginning I was like ‘NOOOOO STOP TAKING OFF HOOF PARTS!’ Then I remembered I was *not* the professional one in this situation lol. Thank you a lot for helping this horse, I’m sure they’re very relieved if it helped with pain 💖
yeah. when i first learned how to pick hooves i was taught that the frog is very sensitive so whenever i see a farrier trim it, i cringe but know the horse would tell them if they’re in pain
I’m so glad to see this. I don’t know much about horses, but cleaning and shoeing has always stressed me out because it seems overly rough. I’m glad there is care for those hard working hooves.
As an artist who never plans to shoe a horse, I still get a lot out of the problem solving, tools use, and fabrication methods. It feels like a healthy value to create in the world, too. Thanks for sharing your life.
Quiet, gentle, confident movement & understanding with the horse & as a teacher. I hope that you will continue to teach this quiet gentleness for horses & humans.
Both my parents trained race horses and I spent a lot of time in the backstretch of a couple of racetracks. One of my favorite things to watch as a kid was the blacksmith do their thing and how satisfying it was to watch. Thanks for bringing back some good nostalgic memories. You also answered a lot of questions I had as a kid just watching. Such an art to this.
Those nippers are tin snips. Color determines the intended cutting direction, red is right hand snips, green are left hand snips and yellow are straight cut snips. They also offer offset versions of those. Most people will want red offsets if they are right handed.
Man you're brilliant. With your work and your explanations. I love watching this stuff. Sometimes with no narrator but youre a very smart man. Very experienced and it always shows. For the horses, THANK YOU!
Great to see you again Sheldon, hope all is well with you and yours and your studies. Looks like another happy customer of S+S horseshoeing, be well and hug your loved ones often!
I remember stumbling across this channel during quarantine in 2020 and im so glad I did. One of those niche things I know very little about but am totally captivated by. Keep it up Sheldon!
I find farrier videos surprisingly fascinating. This one stands out from many others on UA-cam because of the narration explaining what is happening and why. Great stuff!
Ex farrier here, loved the explanation through and through. I always leaned towards a rolled toe in this case, ground the break over into the shoe. I always ground down a half mill to a mill from the nails inward to relieve sole pressure. I also am not a fan of pads. More heel support and shorter toes always does wonders.
Thank you so much for posting; you do such beautiful work and I always appreciate watching you shoe. As a side note, this horse has the most gorgeous coat I've ever seen
Hey. My daughter and I absolutely love your videos and the kindness and care you give to your clients. Thanks for contributing something awesome to the world!
I don’t know how you manage to do these videos for us, plus school, plus family, plus job…! Thanks for taking the time out of your very busy day to makes these videos for us. ✌🏼
I have had several horses. I have one now. The farrier is the best friend to your horse. They rate right up there with your vet or even more so as they see horses generally more than vets do.

I think what ur doing is pretty amazing. I was in vet nursing but I'm pretty bad at math, I was a groomer but I hurt my wrist badly so no longer can, but looking at other options but this is pretty incredible.
Good to hear from you again, was just looking at your channel to see if I had missed a video. I hope the kids are doing well, probably growing like weeds
Found this page and was like "I love that he explains everything, im going to subscribe to this" went to subscribe, already done. Apparently I've been here before and thought the exact same thing. Great videos, man 👌🏼
Good to see you're back! Really love your video's and the way you explain everything. My sister owns a horse, and I've send her the link to your video's. Now she understands better what the farrier is doing. Hope vet school is going well! Think it's amazing that you can help diagnose the problem and also help it fixed.
Yay, he’s back! Thank you for not only showing the process of preparing a barefoot horse for shoes, but also the voiceover explaining the veterinary externship, and the x-rays showing what was going on inside that foot.
I was born and raised on a dairy farm. I have seen cows with untreated feet, and horses that have never had shoes on. I have nothing but respect for these guys and gals that do this.
I have missed your videos you take such pride in your work I am thankful there are people like you left in this crazy world we live in I can't wait to see more videos and don't change a thing about what you are doing good bless you
It's nice to see a very skilled farrier at work. I'm glad your back! I was going to say something about the contracted heels and small frogs especially after you said this horse has been barefoot, and why you wouldn't use a shoeing method that engages the caudal foot more but your explanation made perfect sense! I didn't think of the pain could possibly be coming from the caudal foot and adding more pressure would hurt her more than it would help her now since the exact reason for her lameness isn't known for sure. (I'm trying to learn the most I can about feet since there aren't a ton of good farriers or trimmers around my area that don't already have full books, and have been successfully trimming my own mare for a few months. These types of videos with good explanations really help so thank you!)
For a minute, you forget that a life is on top of these bad boys and that as he works, the horse is little by little more relieved. Every time he puts a foot down, the horse feels the improvement. ❤️
Glad to see the notification that you posted love watching your videos I have been learning from you while I am also following along side my Farrier to learn. I rescued a 15 year old thoroughbred that hadn't had her feet done for almost a year and she was just living off grass so she got skinny to.
Was glad to see a video come out. We'd been wondering how you and your family were and how you're getting along with your studies. It's always great to see your work and listen to all the info that goes along with it. Be safe and God bless you and your family! 🙏🏻🌻
Its weird watching these I get a sense of joy out of imagining the type of relief the horses get when they are properly cleanned and shoed it’s almost like when the horse put their foot down you can feel the satisfaction Who else here likes to watch horses get a pedicure
Glad to see you're back. Ik school is time consuming plus doing your job, I don't know how you manage to film and edit with all that going on but I'm glad you do. Quick question do you ever pump silicone under the leather pad ? I watched another farrier do it and it wasn't in English so I don't know the reason behind it. Thanks for sharing Sheldon. 🙂❤🐴
I always marvel at things like this....not only is it an impressive craft & art (and medical profession!), but it's a very old one, too imagine when horseshoes were invented, what a big deal that would have been. must've improved life for horses drastically, which in turn allowed them to help humans in new ways anyway, I'm just rambling, I found this video randomly and it was very calming. this guy really cares about animals, you can see if in how he works 💜
Amazing what you’re doing for horses, a master horse shoer, a Farrier Artist . Horse shoeing is quite a skill involving biological & physiological knowledge of horse foot, hoof & leg leg mechanics and health? The horse doesn’t mind you doing work on his hooves, guess he knows you’re helping him. 🐴🐴 Great video & thanks for sharing your knowledge & skill.
Wow this is amazing, I love that you’re there to help the horse and you definitely know what you’re doing that is so awesome! This makes me want to go to school for this 😍😍😍
Well g'daye lad I just love those of us that take one qualification and let it lead to another qualification within the same realm of the first qualification! Here is a tip from me, I train / have between 15 and 18 horses in my barn and still at a jolly old age shoe them all once every month! That's 2 fronts tonight and the 2 backs in the morning of 1 horse every day. That's how us old blokes do it! Interval training! Don't do anything I wouldn't do and if you do, don't get caught! Keep up the good work and keep that humour going!
Hi sheldon great to see you back, absolutely amazing job you did, love watching you, and your narrative is wonderful too god bless love sue and andy j xxx❤️❤️❤️
Great job and such an entertaining/informative video. I’m a 60 year old civil engineer….about as far away from being a farrier as you can get. But I’ve become fascinated with your profession and recently subscribed to your channel. Growing up in Iowa, I spent lots of time on family farms. My grandfather and several uncles raised cattle, hogs and turkeys, but nothing involving horses. That said, I’ve always admired the livestock vets, so I’m happy you are also going to vet school. Combine that with your horseshoeing and you’re really pursuing and admirable profession. Thanks for all the explanation and detail. I look forward to watching more of your videos, soon. All the best. Bryan
I've no involvement with horses other than occasionally petting one when I go past the local stable and one is hanging out near the fence. I really like how you showed everything that you did and explained it for people who didn't "see" what they were seeing. Keep doing what you do, and thank you for bringing this to us.
I gotta admit this was an interesting recommended video for me. Trimming and shoeing horses seems way more complicated than trimming cow hooves. Guess I have another odd set of videos subscribed now.
I feel like a five year old that has stumbled into a conversation with grownups. I understand some of what's being said and trying to get the rest through context. That said, I enjoyed watching and listening.

Hope vet school is going well!
Think it's amazing that you can help diagnose the problem and also help it fixed.
Hi
Hello Llona how’s the weather over there
You're a true artist, Thanks for helping those horses.
That’s some proper fine looking craftsmanship!
The skill involved in what you guys do is amazing. The horses are just chilling while you do your job.
Why do I find these videos so relaxing?
I like the way this man does his job, very beautiful!
Thanks for Sharing, n for that final word, Be kind to those around you, bcuz horses are kind
👍😊
Absolutely!!
This is extremely interesting to me. I know ZERO about caring for horses, but I can't get enough of your videos!
I love hearing about your vet school updates! You're doing great 👍
I know nothing about being a farrier but I enjoy this so much, I love that you fix up their feet for them to be comfortable.
Yay, he’s back! Thank you for not only showing the process of preparing a barefoot horse for shoes, but also the voiceover explaining the veterinary externship, and the x-rays showing what was going on inside that foot.
Hello Pat how’s the weather over there
I was born and raised on a dairy farm. I have seen cows with untreated feet, and horses that have never had shoes on. I have nothing but respect for these guys and gals that do this.
I cant tell if this is a voice over or not, ether way it is satisfying
I have missed your videos you take such pride in your work I am thankful there are people like you left in this crazy world we live in I can't wait to see more videos and don't change a thing about what you are doing good bless you
It's nice to see a very skilled farrier at work. I'm glad your back! I was going to say something about the contracted heels and small frogs especially after you said this horse has been barefoot, and why you wouldn't use a shoeing method that engages the caudal foot more but your explanation made perfect sense! I didn't think of the pain could possibly be coming from the caudal foot and adding more pressure would hurt her more than it would help her now since the exact reason for her lameness isn't known for sure. (I'm trying to learn the most I can about feet since there aren't a ton of good farriers or trimmers around my area that don't already have full books, and have been successfully trimming my own mare for a few months. These types of videos with good explanations really help so thank you!)
What an interesting and informative video. And what a well-mannered horse to allow all that without protest of any kind. Thanks to both of you!
Hello Cindy how’s the weather over there
It’s good to see you back! I hope school is going well.
Great job and wise words at the ending. So happy for the horses they have you as a farrier.
For a minute, you forget that a life is on top of these bad boys and that as he works, the horse is little by little more relieved. Every time he puts a foot down, the horse feels the improvement. ❤️
Hello here from Brazil, I'm following this excellent hardware class, congratulations
Glad to see the notification that you posted love watching your videos I have been learning from you while I am also following along side my Farrier to learn. I rescued a 15 year old thoroughbred that hadn't had her feet done for almost a year and she was just living off grass so she got skinny to.
So nice of you
i love hearing the horses talking to each other ❤
I just love watching someone work and know what he's doing the whole time having the wherewithal to use different tools to solve obstacles
Nice to see you’re Gentle when settin the horses leg down. 👍🏼🇺🇸👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Was glad to see a video come out. We'd been wondering how you and your family were and how you're getting along with your studies. It's always great to see your work and listen to all the info that goes along with it. Be safe and God bless you and your family! 🙏🏻🌻
Thanks
Such care and consideration…just so beautiful to see this. Enjoy watching the videos. Thank you.
Hello 👋 Parry
Your attention to detail is admirable! Oh boy, do those horseshoes get really hot . Thanks for another great video 🇨🇦❤
Glad you like them!
Hello Irene how’s the weather over there
Its weird watching these I get a sense of joy out of imagining the type of relief the horses get when they are properly cleanned and shoed it’s almost like when the horse put their foot down you can feel the satisfaction
Who else here likes to watch horses get a pedicure
Glad to see you're back. Ik school is time consuming plus doing your job, I don't know how you manage to film and edit with all that going on but I'm glad you do. Quick question do you ever pump silicone under the leather pad ? I watched another farrier do it and it wasn't in English so I don't know the reason behind it. Thanks for sharing Sheldon. 🙂❤🐴
Yes. My last video I did
Hello Shirley how’s the weather over there
You are a true craftsman sir, and you're a lifesaver to this horse.
I was leaning foreword, chin in hand watching this. Totally immersed and enjoying it.
Hello how’s the weather over there
I don’t nor ever have owned a horse but I love watching these videos. Thank You for the education.
Got back to my dorm and saw you posted a video, made my day. Love how you explain things. You’re just awesome!! Glad you’re back man!
Hello Harland how’s the weather over there
I always marvel at things like this....not only is it an impressive craft & art (and medical profession!), but it's a very old one, too
imagine when horseshoes were invented, what a big deal that would have been. must've improved life for horses drastically, which in turn allowed them to help humans in new ways
anyway, I'm just rambling, I found this video randomly and it was very calming. this guy really cares about animals, you can see if in how he works 💜
Amazing what you’re doing for horses, a master horse shoer, a Farrier Artist .
Horse shoeing is quite a skill involving biological & physiological knowledge of horse foot, hoof & leg leg mechanics and health? The horse doesn’t mind you doing work on his hooves, guess he knows you’re helping him. 🐴🐴 Great video & thanks for sharing your knowledge & skill.
Hello Pauline how’s the weather over there
@@stevenhenry4127 It is -9C ...nippy
@@paulinedavis8734 Oh that’s okay the weather over there is okay where are you from? I’m from Dallas Texas
You are a stellar farrier! You'll be an awesome equine vet! Good Luck!
Wow this is amazing, I love that you’re there to help the horse and you definitely know what you’re doing that is so awesome! This makes me want to go to school for this 😍😍😍
Hi
Well g'daye lad I just love those of us that take one qualification and let it lead to another qualification within the same realm of the first qualification!
Here is a tip from me, I train / have between 15 and 18 horses in my barn and still at a jolly old age shoe them all once every month! That's 2 fronts tonight and the 2 backs in the morning of 1 horse every day. That's how us old blokes do it! Interval training! Don't do anything I wouldn't do and if you do, don't get caught! Keep up the good work and keep that humour going!
The horse says: Where have you been so far, Sheldon? I will give you my shoes at any time and I will be patient!
*Always amazes me how chill the Horses are... Obviously must feel good or soothing to them as well?*
yeah it feels like getting your nails done. some horses like it less but its not painful at all
@@Flash-mv8rn Right... Seems the same with cow foot treatments as well that I've been watching. Some guy in Scotland...
Hi sheldon great to see you back, absolutely amazing job you did, love watching you, and your narrative is wonderful too god bless love sue and andy j xxx❤️❤️❤️
Thanks God bless
Hello Sue how’s the weather over there
Great job and such an entertaining/informative video. I’m a 60 year old civil engineer….about as far away from being a farrier as you can get. But I’ve become fascinated with your profession and recently subscribed to your channel.
Growing up in Iowa, I spent lots of time on family farms. My grandfather and several uncles raised cattle, hogs and turkeys, but nothing involving horses. That said, I’ve always admired the livestock vets, so I’m happy you are also going to vet school. Combine that with your horseshoeing and you’re really pursuing and admirable profession.
Thanks for all the explanation and detail. I look forward to watching more of your videos, soon. All the best. Bryan
Good to see you again, Sheldon. I thought maybe you graduated and left us forever. Good video. 👍❤
Hi Sheldon! I know you're busy with school, work, and family but it's always good to watch your videos !
Love your videos!!! It's so helpful to understand everything and I love the way you explain
Hello Stephanie how’s the weather over there
I've no involvement with horses other than occasionally petting one when I go past the local stable and one is hanging out near the fence. I really like how you showed everything that you did and explained it for people who didn't "see" what they were seeing. Keep doing what you do, and thank you for bringing this to us.
Wow, as a physician, the horse is more compliant than some of my patients.
The horse was so chill throughout all of this- i could never
I gotta admit this was an interesting recommended video for me. Trimming and shoeing horses seems way more complicated than trimming cow hooves. Guess I have another odd set of videos subscribed now.
First time seeing you. You are so gentle with the horse, he’s very comfortable with you. I miss our horses, had them in middle school.
Hello Deanna how’s the weather over there
@@stevenhenry4127 it’s quite nice here in Dallas, chilly so we are enjoying it. Not ready for the heat. How are you?
I don't hang around horses but even I know damn this is some very nice work you do. Keep it up mate
