I know!! I'm right there with you...fascinating.

I looked up horse shoeing like this and before I could turn around my recommendations were filled with cow foot trimming and I'm hooked. I don't know why. I find it relaxing. Which is a complete mystery to me as why. But I love these videos. I love cow foot videos more. I apologize if it came across as rude. I was just commenting on the algorithm finding horse and cow foot from this video. But I love cow and horse foot trimming videos. Those are my favorite.

Why would you regret it? Is learning new stuff not the standard anymore?? Go back to watching tiktok dances and shit then

That’s a cool story nice

Amazing what they can do with that sort of thing these days. It's soooo cool!

its amazing what can be done medically/therapeutically for horses now a days. An injury that would doom a horse with a bullet now can be fixed. Dreadfully expensive but still possible.

dont you think maybe just maybe you should have learned his trade?

@diesel Don't you think they should do what they are good at or want to? I mean, there are a lot of needs in the world. Giving up the things you do (which themselves can be good), and the things you hope and dream for, just because you are capable of filling a different need (or someone's idea of what you must use your capabilities for) is a rough way to live. Doesn't mean you can't still speak about the things you've seen, either.

He was so good! So cooperative! He deserves a while bag of apples.

In a new retelling of several old fairy tales mixed together, the respected master farrier in a medieval-ish village is also the fairy king. What humans had never learned was that while most fairies and magic folk fear iron, the fairy king has always been a master iron worker. It's the way fairies know that this one, this one here, is the true king. The story is also mixed with Cinderella, Snow White, and a couple of others. It's interesting, just occurred to me now, that magic folk being afraid of iron is a nice metaphor that with the coming of the iron age and technology, belief in magic starts to dissolve.

Big beasts always bred for docility, bad tempered stallions or mares not worth foaling.

Horses have an incredible memory for people and experiences. Hopefully this helped undo any trust issues created by the prior hackjob.

My dad used to shoe our horses and people all over Utah would call him begging him to come shoe their horses. They asked him to name his price because they were so worried about their horses. He always told them $100. and went to do it. He took me with him most of the time and he was amazing to watch. He'd start by talking to the horse and then leading it around. He rarely tied up the horse but just talked to it. I was always amazed how the horse winied back to my dad. All the while shoeing my dad talked to the horse. Once in a while he'd start swearing at the person who did the last shoeing, but that usually upset the horse so dad stopped. He'd tell the horse that he'd be back to check on him in 2 weeks or a month. When my dad came back the horse would come right to him. My dad was truly connected to horses. The horse always remembered my dad. My dad would call the horse by name and they would cuddle for a minute. Then he'd look at the feet and go for a walk and the horse followed him like a puppy.

Same. My uncle was a farrier and a horse trainer. Miss him.

Every horse owner knows the importance of having a good farrier. They are the specialists in equine hoof care. Without one, you have a lame horse.

Me too my cousins grandfather was our blacksmith. Girls weren't allowed in the smithy, so I watched from the doorway. Just loved it

The longish hair on his "ankles" and top of his hooves are called feathers. Some breeds have them, some don't. I like the way they look, but I'll bet that hair is hard to keep clean!

Those are called feathers 🙂

A true professional!

I don’t imagine it’s a job you survive for long if you’re not careful about how the horse is feeling.

Bend at the hips and keep your back straight to keep soreness at Bay.

The best farriers tend to be shorter than 6’ and have huge backs! They are worth every penny!

Their hands take a beating too. It's NOT an easy job! Good shoeing isn't cheap & cheap shoeing isn't good. Could have cost this horse his life!

@@katiekane5247 Most people would never consider that every army, every police force, every old posse of outlaws that ever used horses, still needed guys like this as an absolute necessity or they were going no-where.

I worked in the courts. We had a trial where a farrier, a woman, was shoeing a horse, and he kicked her in her face. She was beautiful, 26 years old. He fractured every bone in her face. He pushed her face into her head. She was unrecognizable. Many surgeries and she started to look like her old self. She never blamed the horse, whom she loved. Something spooked him. She was sueing for her medical bills from the owners of the horse. They are powerful, beautiful animals. Those who work with them need to be respected, for their skill, love and respect for those magnificent creatures.

Highjacking your comment! Missing the clips eating dogs...

@@mchapman132 My grandfather was born in 1864, the night his 17 yo brother who that day had walked behind their very gentle horse and for a reason no one will ever know, he was kicked in the head. He died that night, as his mother gave birth to my GF, since the upset had caused her to go in labor. They needed the horse for work, but my father always said "Never trust any horse not to kick."

@@Jibbie49 - that is so sad. I love horses, but I’m very intimidated around them. They are big, powerful and easily spooked. My sister was kicked by a cow when she was a child visiting a farm with her class. Cows can kick sideways and the cow probably thought my sister was too close. She just got some bad bruises fortunately. Caution is advised around powerful critters.

@HJ bangerter - yes, I agree. The young woman never blamed the horse, she grew up around them, and truly loved them. Sounds like you had a wonderful childhood. I do believe cows can kick to the side. I know too many people who attest to that.

doesnt hurt them, its like getting toenails clipped to us. the nails go into a part of the hoof without nerves, so they can feel a pressure, but no pain

He’s also letting the horse relax its muscle, less cramping when out of position.

@@darthmusturd9526 ...yup, look at the size of the nails getting hammered in. the horse doesn't even know it's happening

@@darthmusturd9526 I think they meant that the pain was from the previous bad shoeing and whatever stress that had put on the shape and integrity of the hooves.

Let's hope they're not. I think a solo apprentice would have done a better job than the previous attempt.

Yeah, licence revoked comes to mind. What a difference this job was!

The previous farrier (assuming they even WERE a farrier to begin with) either didn’t know how to shoe a Draught horse, or worse- was lazy and didn’t even give a crap! 😡

All I can do is hope they stumble upon this video and decide to hit the books

I never knew horse pedicures were that important. Guess that shows my knowledge.

@@vaporean_boylove.0w083 hoof care is pretty important for horses. Their hooves have to be trimmed so they don’t become over grown and poor hoof care can lead to all sorts of problems.

Yes they are. Furthermore, the name of the previous farrier should be shouted from the mountaintop so he can't do this to anyone else. This farrier is excellent. Guys like this save horses , literally.

So you sit there in a SHOCKED state thinking about this ??? Errrr... All righty then

I’ve been thinking, horses are so expensive to keep. In addition to feet care, I heard they also need to get their teeth shaved once every year. How do wild horses keep themselves healthy and comfortable without these human interventions?

It almost looks to me like the sole was too hard for the farrier to knife out and so he just stuck a shoe on it after leveling it with a rasp. Some of the guys out there who call themselves farriers dont realize you can use your nippers to actually clear some of the sole which will expose softer material that you can actually knife through. These guys are well trained.

I don’t know how someone could mess up that bad with such a well behaved horse.

I have a weird feeling it was a failed DIY. "I can do this on my own!" Then oops it turned out awful

You could tell the difference between when he handled the horse and the other guy at the end. The horse was fussy with the other guy..but not with him.

That’s really not fair to say that the other guy wasn’t handling the horse well. Horses have patients too, by the time he was clinching and finishing who knows how long that horse had been standing there maybe an hour or two. The horse was clearly ready to go eat and hang out with his buddies and the second guy finishing the feet did an incredible job of staying patient and hanging in there to the end.

He does have a kind eye

I was thinking the same

He has the eyes of a nice old wide man 😂

That man deserves a big hug from the owner of this 🐎 pulse a hefty amount of money too

My gosh his poor aching back. That's a lot of bending over and holding the hoof inplace

Shoeing isnt that important tbh. Sure some horses need them depending on what they do but most horses would benefit being barefoot. Every time your horse gets shoed with nails and iron shoes you are taking a 50/50 chance of the nails hitting the sensitive part of the hoove (Horses, shoed or not are not supposed to be sore after a farrier visit) and the iron actively changes the hind part of the frog and makes it harder on the joints to walk since iron shoes take away the natural ability of the hoof to expand upon impact. But jeah. Farrier work is very important.

@@bookofnyx3409 Feral horses do not carry out the same level of activity as domesticated horses, we have to draw a line between the two. Horseshoes help prevent random cracks and chips and excessive wear-down on the hoof. If a horse steps different, you can get uneven wear-down of the hoof, and by shoeing a horse you have more control over the hoof shape as each hoof is manually cared for and adjusted based on every individual horse. While taking horseshoes off for a time every year is beneficial (e.g. times of less activity like winter), horseshoes are necessary when horses are being ridden and the like. Hooves can splinter, get infected, have an abscess, all it takes is uneven weight spread and you get a cluster of various problems. That said, I get where you're coming from, but please note there's a good reason for horseshoes being around for as long as they have been.

@@raszagalex2640 I guess it's also important to remember part of the reason you don't see wild horses with major hoof issues is probably because the ones that did died pretty soon after.

@@raszagalex2640 and yet there are alternatives to shoeing your Horse instead of nailing iron to them my own horse is shoed with glue ons and I do long distance as well as showjumping yet I prioritize my horses hoof health Plus glue ons are ließ expensive and can be reattached up til 3 times meaning you only have to buy new ones every 4 to 5 months and each time the horses hoof isnt trimmed to fit the shoe but to maintain its natural form

@@bookofnyx3409 theres a greater risk of your horses hoove cracking and them being lame for life and usually lame horses are euthanized because they no longer can work.... a good farrier is EXTREMELY IMPORTANT for working horses or horses being rode in general. I'm a 9th generation west texas cattle rancher and farrier and i can assure you, proper hoof care is essential. and there is no more risk when shoeing than trimming your own nails IF YOU'RE A PROFESSIONAL. If you let any jackass shoe a horse. yes, theyre is a risk when nailing it in place but with a professional, experienced farrier the risk is mitigated to almost nothing. the pros outweigh cons... Mustangs die from hoof rot and disease everyday but theyre not kept in a stable or pasture. theyre able to run on rocks and chip their nails down. its like saying captive birds dont need their beaks trimmed because they don't in the wild... or that dogs dont need their nails trimmed cuz woves in the wild dont when your dog is spending all day on soft floors and grass as where a wolf is constantly digging and running on rough terrain.. You're comment is nonsensical and let's all hope you dont have horses of your own...

As a city person who knows NOTHING about the anatomy of horse hooves, my first reaction was being impressed at the knowledge and skill even though I don't understand it. I really had no idea how horseshoes got on to horses' hooves prior to watching this video, let alone that they might not fit or could be put on improperly. It was really interesting.

@@GDIEternal the first thing you should know about shoeing - the smell of the hot shoe going on the hoof is rancid. Smells like hair burning but way more intense

Mainly because both hooves and hair are made from the same material - keratin. Keratin don't smell good when burning.

The healing goes up into the horse and it knows things are going to be OK.

@@gigicostlow4414 A good farrier will always give them a break unless it's a fast clean up because it's not the most comfortable position for a horse, it's just the best for the farrier. The more relaxed and comfortable the horse is the more likely they are to comply and let him work specially if they have to hold it like that for a while doing corrective stuff like this...

@@SilvaDreams Very true. I fired a farrier for treating a mule I had badly. Lil Jim had severe vertical cracks on both front feet and was in pain so couldn't stand on 3 legs for long. That farrier yelled at him and hit him when Jim tried to put his foot down. I came unglued. The next farrier was so patient and gentle. When Jim needed a break he would take Jim outside and let him graze a bit while he drank a cup of coffee before continuing with Jim's feet. Never in a rush. A good farrier is priceless.

@@Kattemageren - Horses on the wild don’t carry heavy burdens (rider, cargo etc… ) like these so their feet are not stained too much. Truth is Domesticated horses, like dogs and cats, are bred with human assistance in mind and really can’t live well on the wild without human help. All the “wild” horses in America are domesticated horses brought over by Europeans that are let loose. A lot of those “wild horses” grow bad in-grown hoves that cause them great pains, if not taken care of would lead to death. You can search in KZfaq of bad in-grown hoves on wild horses, they’re not pretty.

they do, farriers are alot of the time in tremendous pain after a few years of farriering it is a very weighty job! xx

Shires are famously gentle. A farrier needs a strong, strong back.

Idk why. But whenever I see an farrier tending to the front hooves I keep thinking of that scene from Spirit where the guy gets kicks in the face with the hind leg.

All the ones I’ve known have had a wrecked back 😕
