I'm a medical doctor. Don't own horses. I have ridden one or two times in my life. Despite all that, I can't get enough of horseshoeing videos. This is fantastic craftsmanship

Between you and the guy in Scotland who trims cows hoofs can't get enough. Amazing job.

That was some incredible diagnosis and work. I went to Oklahoma Horseshoeing School back in the 1980s and learned a lot. One thing I definitely learned is there is no substitute for doing the work, caring for the horse, perfecting the shoe placement and forge work, and definitely fine tuning the shoe through know how and hard work. You're a masterful farrier and your vet work on this horse is to be admired. You care about your job/calling and you are a master horseshoer. Thank you.

I once bought an ex logging horse who had heels like this on both front feet. It took months of remedial work and care to return him to health. I appreciate your fabulous work. Much respect.

I like your style - no silly music or "Look at me" selfies. The completed shoe fitted to the horse was a work of art. 😊

What a chilled horse; he's behaviour is as impressive as the shoeing.. 👌👌

In observing the horse’s behavior it seemed that he was very appreciative of the work you were doing. Once again masterful farrier!

I love your craft. As an RN I can't get enough of your tough cases. How are your hands so clean and your nails so perfect? Very impressive on so many levels!

Thank you for explaining what you're doing! I work at a horse sanctuary, and rarely have the opportunity to ask our ferrier in-depth questions. Watching you make the shoe from scratch was incredibly cool. Some of our horses have similar shoes to help manage their laminitis, so seeing how a skilled worker fabricated it was special.

What a treat to observe a custom prosthetic/therapeutic shoe created for this affected horse by a master ferrier.Brilliant.

You sir are an artist with that iron. Truly an artist. Love watching custom horseshoes be made

I thought immediately that it needed copper sulphate before as soon as I saw it. I used to treat severely lame sheep here in the UK with copper sulphate and lard bandaged onto the foot. It really works.

Kudos to all farriers! Their work is extremely physically taxing, and they care for our horses well by educating themselves with training and experience. I admire them.

You were so gentle with this horse. It looked as if the horse was happy you were taking care of it. Great job! I hope the hoof heals well and no other problems arises.

Got to be one of the best farriers I've seen. Top notch care, skills and gentle. And that horse shoe was incredibly done.. You get a ten out of a ten...

You know, I think that's the cleanest, freshest pair of hoof trimmers I've ever seen in my entire life. All the ones I've ever seen from memory were old, dark, and slightly rusted from lack of use.

This can also occur due to contracted heels due to improper trimming. If the lateral bar wall is scraped thin, it causes a weakness in those bars, which are like metal stanchions in engineering, which hold the heels out. When they become thin and weak, they can no longer do their job, so the heels curl inwards squeezing the frog which then inverts, causing this injury. Contracted heels can be dangerous as it can damage the cartilage, which is called sheared heels. This can end the career and life of a horse.

Ouch!!! Any way we could get an update on the healing progress after a few months?

Wow. That was awesome. Making that shoe from scratch was incredible artistry and skill.

Fabulous to watch this man…his care + expertise as he treated this horse with such dignified gentle care is humbling. Thank you for sharing your remarkable work. 🐎

That was very interesting. I’ve heard of these heel cracks but never seen one before. Fortunately none of my horses have ever had any injuries or problems with their feet except a poor old soul I rescued. He had foundered but we managed to fix him up and for now he’s just enjoying his twilight years in the fields with my other horses. I hope his feet continue to behave for at least a few more years so he can enjoy just being a horse.

I have no reason to watch this video but came across it…… WOW INCREDIBLE WORK! Who ever learns this man’s ways will learn something very special. This is talent!

Don't know how I came across your channel, but your care of horses is fascinating! God bless!

You can always tell how well kept and cared for a horse is by the quality of the work done on his hoofs, and If I were to ever own a horse I would want this quality of work done on him/her. THe hoof is perfectly shaped and to have custom shoes made right on the spot for the animal's needs based upon the condition and health of the hooves is the only way to go. Something about the look of a horse whose hooves are clean, perfectly shaped and smooth, like brand new tires and rims on your well kept off road truck! Well done! I bet all the other horses in the barn are all jealous now over the custom shoe this horse has for his sore foot! LOL

Absolutely beautiful professional work. Your smithwork is amazing. Thank you for sharing. 🙂

I haven’t had horses for many years but I always find it fascinating how the horses feet work and how this will help them to be balanced. Excellent video.

I am glad the horse is on the road to recovery. Would be great to see an update in the future if possible.

As the possessor of troublesome painful feet my heart goes out to the poor horses, and my gratitude to the extraordinary knowledge and care as well as the sympathetic kindness of the farrier .

A blacksmith and pedicurist in one. Makes me happy to see the work you do for these horses and other hooved animals.

This is my new favorite video on this channel! I love the explanations of what is being done and why, love seeing the horse, too! And as always I love love watching the metal working! 🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌

This was my first time ever seeing a horseshoe being made. I thought you got them already made. I’m very impressed. That farrier has impressive skills 👍👍

Working with these horses daily I fail to see just how the owners don't know the horse needs some help. Keep up the great work you do for these lovely animals.

The shoe is a work of art, especially since it was created by hammering white-hot metal unaided by any machines. And the horse seemed incredibly cooperative.

I can't explain why I love to watch horseshoeing videos, but I love it!

That was such a chill horse which says a lot about you as well! Very interesting issue and treatment.

Man you are artists.

Bravo, Bravo!!! Y'all are truly champs for all horses!!! Wish we had some in the South! Not sure if we have any! But, just absolutely appreciate your excellence!!❤👏👏👏👏🙏🙏🤗

Fantastic diagnosis and amazing blacksmithing work. I could watch this all day.

Excellent video skill and appreciate the commentary so we know what's being done.

My friend your work is so impressive, everything I watch you work I learn something . You are going to be the best vet ever you pay so much attention to the issue at hand thank you for being you

I’m no expert but used to help my farrier buddy waaay back in the younger days. This dude knows what he’s doing and does an amazing job.

Its awesome seeing a man doing Gods work to help heal a majestic animal that other wise would more than likely turn lame without his intervention. Thank you for helping this animal and teaching future Farriers that will be able to learn how to keep Horses hooves in great shape! Fantastic work.

I know nothing about horses and less about horses feet but the workmanship and know how of these farriers is just wow and the horses are so cooperative. And custom fit shoes !!!!

I love these videos, this is the first one I've seen with explanations, and I loved it!! I hope that shoe helps that big guys sore.

My TB developed a crack just like that after having to stand in deep, sticky, adobe mud from a massive weeklong rainstorm. Where he was at the time there were no box stalls. I too used Kopertox and put him on 3/4" rubber mats under his shelter so that he could escape from the mud at least most of the day. The fissure never completely closed up and disappeared, but he was sound.

Wow, your tradecraft is amazing to watch. Great explanation and demonstration.

i didn't know that shoes were more than just protection from paved roads! i had no idea they could be used as correctional equipment until this channel!

Класс! Ортопедическая подкова) Круто, что так заботятся о лошадках)))

Beautiful work! Beautiful animal. You care and it shows!❤

You are definitely a master at your craft both horseshoeing and blacksmithing beautiful job on that weld. Take care stay safe and God bless ✌️🇨🇦

I've never seen a video of the farrier forging the shoe as well! Incredible, and super interesting to watch!

What an amazingly patient and well trained horse!

Ah you did a awesome job and the horse was just as calm, I think it knew that you was helping it,that's just really a beautiful thing to see💗 keep up the good work💪

I'm really not sure why KZfaq decided to start recommending horse hoof videos.. but I keep watching them.

Thank you for the explanations as you worked. I learned a lot from your information.

What a good patient horse and obviously incredible work as well. Amazing content

Thanks for helping this animal 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️✅✅✅✅✅

Great work. It always impresses me how calm the horses are

Great job absolutely professional work

Just fascinating to watch . Glad the horse is in your care.Blessings to you

Thanks for explaining as you went..you certainly show what a master craftsman is

Wow you are definitely a farrier at the top of your profession. I have multiple farriers over the years and I can honestly say that only a couple were as experienced and professional as you.🤩🤩👏👏🐴🐴🇦🇺🇦🇺

Every time I watch one of your videos, I'm thoroughly amazed by your craftsmanship! My farrier only uses pre-made shoes, so I don't ever get to watch a horse shoe being made basically from scratch on the spot. Absolutely awesome work!

That is a work of art! Nice job. Id love to see the after effects.

Can also pack with medicated cotton ball. Good job with your trim. I have a nice mare who was trimmed with her toe trimmed and heels left long and she had developed clubby feet and contracted heels. Broken over. We are finally getting her straightened out. She is much more cooperative while being ridden. 😊

Fantastic job . Work of art ! 😇💖

I enjoy watching the shoeing if a house. Especially the making of a horseshoe. Great video.

All the memories of 4-H horse club came flooding back. I can smell that Coppertox through this video. Great work as always!

Excelente trabalho, parabéns pelo empenho e dedicação,tens meu respeito e admiração,Deus abençoe a todos que zelam pelo bem estar dos animais 🙏🏼🇧🇷🤝

I love animals. I love to see animals who have some kind of injury, been neglected, other issue be fixed or treated with kindness. I have been watching videos about cows being trimmed for years, with the problems they have. I have recently become fascinated with videos of horses and donkeys that have been neglected and have long hooves.

Coming from a furniture/cabinet maker I'm impressed at every level!

I love watching these videos and appreciate all the help you give these horses

That is some great craftsmanship at the end ! A man that cares not just rushing a job

Love this channel. True professionals at work.

Always impressive to see you just make these special horse shoes with such skills. Though I would have a hard time to not just pet the horses the whole time. I'd be too distracted.

She's such a calm and beautiful animal.

Amazing talent. Just think, a craft that’s hundreds of years old. Lucky old horses to have such care.

That is some incredible shoe work and it seemed to make a big difference in comfort for that guy great work

Yikes that crack looks bad. Glad you added the medication. Good job

Absolutely beautiful work. Congratulations

Beautiful workmanship☘️💚

You can see the horse strutting out at the end probably thinking "about friggin' time!"

These guys in Idaho are some of the very best in the profession if not the best. Not to deny there are many great ferriers out there. I just like to watch their diagnosis followed by their customized shoes made to perfection as they hammer out from memory the hoof shape. It impresses me because I know I couldn't get it right in a week or longer😒. Anyhow, keep up the fantastic work out there and keep them ponies trottin' 🧲🐎 ... Kudos from the mountains of NC!!!

Incredible result and workmanship. Nice to see that these kinds of issues can be addressed.

Thank you, Sir, for sharing your skills and work with us. Your skills are obvious and there for all to see. All the people you work for should feel proud to have you. Best wishes.

Luv to watch u make the shoe. Obsessed with ur channel. Glad to see posts again.

You are good at keeping your horses calm. Nice.

Greetings from Russia!It is very pleasant to look at the work of an amazing master!I wish you creative success!

Keep up the good hard work, these horses need u!

That was incredible...Beautiful happy horse.

A true skilled guy.

Phenomenal work.

Thank you for sharing. You did a fantastic job again.

I really enjoyed watching you. I love horses, though, I don't have one. That's probably like alot of people. Keep up the caring factor. It's good to see you do care.

msn, this is something, what a good little horse. and a perfect toe clip to boot...I sure hope that crack healed up just right. My shoer echos the same about heels...great work.

Love your viedoes, they're so soothing!

Work of art! Thank you 💘

Beautiful work!

Love watching your ferrier expertise! So interesting and tx for sharing!
