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.
…it’s just a guy putting a horseshoe on a horse

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
Nah it was more like when you watch comedies as a kid and you dont get any of the jokes but it was still funny
@@chemistryguy exactly, just a dude making ink

Hi
@@itsbrooklyn1138 hi
I know nothing about horses and even less about horse shoes but I find these videos so satisfying
I know one thing about horse hooves, they’re extremely horrifying (when they’re born)
Same thing, enjoyable to watch.
@@box9760 really??? I have never seen new born one😳

Same! ❤️
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.
❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thank You for doing that Jael!😊 I’ve noted your beautiful kitty 🐱🇦🇺
They seem like terrific people. Any idea how much a person makes doing that for a living?
Congratulations on your new horse. Glad she’s doing better.👍😎
Freya is a beautiful name. God bless you for being so kind to the least of us.
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.

Not every leather is anti microbial. Plant based tannings do, though, because of the tannins used... Oak bark, for example. Very high quality leather
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.
Feeling you ❤️❤️ so hard to say goodbye to our furry besties. Sending love 🙏🏼❤️
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
@@turnipgreen6280 Thank you
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 😅
Being high made this video extra special. I had no idea horse shoe repair was so scientific & labor intensive. Instant subscribe.

Therapeutic shoeing even moreso, which this would classify as.
My goodness the intelligence and trust of this horse is amazing. Look at how the horse cooperates.
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.
@@dpz9872 I would imagine if there was pain involved the horses would have a anti shoe movement.
@@AndrewTubbiolo
I'm thinking up until the moment they meet with doc it's gotta hurt like they shopped for shoes at Al Bundy's place.
better than seeing dentist
They use a pain blocker so the horse doesn’t feel the cutting and stuff going on
i like how he pets the horsey occasionally , so cute!
Yes very important l think how could you not give him a a rub
Pat down
HER. THE HORSE IS FEMALE. Maybe watch with the sound on next time.
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.
Amen! this guy is really helping the horses with all of his heart.
It’s been too long. We missed you! Love the way you explain things, definitely helps understand what you do and why.
I appreciate that
@@maverick_vet I agree, you are so well spoken. Such a valuable trait !
@@maverick_vet♡
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!
A happy horse is one not trying to kick you into next week. But a cow will ever time. That is why we eat cows and ride horses.😆
@@getonthecrossanddontlookba5004
We are looking forward for His mighty return.
Damn to put this things on their feet doesnt hurt? Theres no other "inteligent" and less painful to do this?
@@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!
Same here was taught to smooth down and ask thru touch. Scared or honory horses I am too old for that. Never show just clean and trim
There’s something so magical about working with animals. So righteous
Homie were animals exactly like that horse or a dog. How do you not understand that?
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
horses are made to gallop miles over rocks, yet people still scare kids by telling them they can hurt the horse with their little hoofpicks 😢
I haven't owned a horse in years & have never seen anything like this. This was fascinating.
Hello Annkelly how’s the weather over there
I can categorically say I've never actually seen something so intriguing to watch, this was genuinely amazing!
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.
Makes me homesick. Grew up on a ranch in NM southern mountains (Sacramento and Guadalupe). Had about 25000 acres.
I learned to shoe horses around 11-12 years of age. That was 42-43 years ago.
Left at 18… College… Navy… Airline pilot.. banker and now a home builder.
Best life style overall….. Ranching. If I could live this life over, I’d never leave the Ranch. Too old now. Thanks for the informative video and a reminder of my youth.
Thank you, you took me back 65 years and watching my grandpa working on our draft horses
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
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.
I know nothing about horses or horse shoes, so why can I not stop watching these videos? 😂
Better than watching spurs
I know right?! So satisfying to watch and very interesting.
Maybe you’re supposed to be a farrier…or you were at one time?
same 🙂
Ditto.
The horse was being so patient and gentle. You got a good horse my friend. Thanks for sharing.
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!!
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.
I did not know that lol
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.
I hope there is a part 2. I would like to see how well this worked.
This man really just made the horse a little pair of proper leather shoes!! Why is this so cute?! 🥰🐴🧲
Hello Claudia how’s the weather over there
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.
Hello Kristi how’s the weather over there
Glad to see you back here! Hopefully that helps him feel better, foot pain is never fun

I cant tell if this is a voice over or not, ether way it is satisfying
My back hurts in sympathy 😭😭 Ferriers do such important work! Thanks for all you do for horse owners ❤️❤️❤️
I love how you narrate and explain each step in the process! Subbed!
This was not only educational but what a wonderful thing to care for there feet and protect them. ❤ really loved this.
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!
Hello Eric how’s the weather over there
@@stevenhenry4127 60 and sunny one day, single digits and snowing the next, typical New England. How about yours?
The horse says: Where have you been so far, Sheldon? I will give you my shoes at any time and I will be patient!
Sheldon thanks for helping horses I know it’s your job and I feel like you enjoy your work. Thumbs up from Tampa fl
You are so sweet. Glad you found your passion. And I know the horses are grateful.
I enjoy watching you care for these horses. Your a good man and will be a great vet. Hope 2022 brings great memories to you and your family!
I love hearing about your vet school updates! You're doing great 👍
Thanks for Sharing, n for that final word, Be kind to those around you, bcuz horses are kind
👍😊
Absolutely!!
Helping an animal is hart felt, God Bless you young man. 🙂
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
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!
You can be an honorary horse girl 😉
I wish there was smell available, you cannot imagine the smell
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.
Hi
Love people like you! A good education and you care enough to go the extra mile for animals!
Hello Heather how’s the weather over there
That’s some proper fine looking craftsmanship!
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 👌🏼
Lol
@@maverick_vet great content, man. And I don't even have horses. Just interesting to watch amd vear about.
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. ❤️
You're a true artist, Thanks for helping those horses.
I love your approach! Horses and humans need carriers like you who are both skilled and kind. Thank you for sharing your work.
explaining what's happening in the video is the best kind to learn from, thats why you got my sub
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
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!
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
It’s good to see you back! I hope school is going well.
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
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!
You are a true craftsman sir, and you're a lifesaver to this horse.
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.
Hi
Hello Llona how’s the weather over there
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.
The horse was so chill throughout all of this- i could never
Why do I find these videos so relaxing?
I like the way this man does his job, very beautiful!
Wow, as a physician, the horse is more compliant than some of my patients.
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
Great job and wise words at the ending. So happy for the horses they have you as a farrier.
Such care and consideration…just so beautiful to see this. Enjoy watching the videos. Thank you.
Hello 👋 Parry
The skill involved in what you guys do is amazing. The horses are just chilling while you do your job.
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 was leaning foreword, chin in hand watching this. Totally immersed and enjoying it.
Hello how’s the weather over there
Nice to see you’re Gentle when settin the horses leg down. 👍🏼🇺🇸👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

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
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 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!
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. Farriers face hars work. They spend a lot time learning their specific field of expertise. Good farriwra like this guy are patient, gentle and underpaid many times for all they go thru. Good job, great bedside manner. Best of luck in your endeavors.
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
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! 🙏🏻🌻

Wonderful video with some amazing facts, and an art form that’s been around for hundreds of years , worth a watch
I know very little about horse care, but I always imagined those hooves hurt like our ingrown toenails 😣 They are such sweet animals, I hope he feels better!
Hello Jessica how’s the weather over there
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.

Hi Sheldon! I know you're busy with school, work, and family but it's always good to watch your videos !
You are a stellar farrier! You'll be an awesome equine vet! Good Luck!
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!)
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.
