Thank you I was wondering this exact thing!

Thanks! I was curious about this recently

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.

Yes this is the fact

Thanks, I was 2 seconds away to Google it

How do wild horses deal with this issue?

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 think they scrape their hooves against rocks

@@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 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)

Nunca vi esto los animales son los dueños

how long does it take for the horses hooves to get in this condition?

@@annasparkle9Years

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

He almost looks like he's walking like a dog will with boots on.

yeah, I thought it was just me who think that. I thought "maybe horses do walk that way and since I'm not around them very much, I'm mistaken"

@@MissBophaLokei maybe the horse has to get used to it.

@@MissBophaLokei has to get use to it and his legs will be sore for a bit. He's.having to learn to walk normally again .

Could have been slightly sedated

​@@user-fc4uc9lk6i На выставку наверно лак или воск наносят.

I was afraid it would make the horse sore with that change. Good to hear it doesn’t.

Thank you for the incite from an expert. I was wondering about that and you answered my question.

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.

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.

Absolutely

He showed up crippled , and is gonna be tender for some time before that heals up

Animals dont get a new lease on life stop applying human emotions and consciousnesses to stupid animals Life isnt the lion king

@@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.

@@eatass5627 Isn't "a new lease on life" about improving life expectancy and quality of life? I think it definitely applies here.

maybe just it felt that good!

Probably knows he is being helped

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

Tranq

10,000 plus years of selective breading, we ate the ones that acted up.

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.

I agree :)

yes, I thought the same... he knew exactly how to sculpt a healthy hoof out of that mess

This could of been a rescue horse as well

Left this long for KZfaq. 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.

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?

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 😂

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.

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.

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

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!

Liquid Tylenol

When he said 'a foundation to build a new foot' that broke me.

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.

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.

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.

@@ericcooley9407 I'm going to start using that one on a regular basis!

True. Rocking horse restored back to horse.

His hooves look like cowboy boots, no joke. He must feel great after this.

Great job , what’s the average bill to have this extensive work done and what’s it cost for a normal service call ?

@@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)

@@ronjeremydewitte 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.

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.

Or he is sedated during this procedure.

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 KZfaq 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.

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.

Tell me about it! I'm all teared up! Poor horse. I bet he felt way better after that!

Damn MAGA supporters neglect everything.

@@jondough4682 ??

@@jondough4682 really? Even here where everyone cares?

@@jondough4682 bro wth are you talking about

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❤

Eso blando que sacana no le duele al caballo?

@@gladysdeseff808 no bro

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.

I think of how sore that hoof inside due to change of angles and how long to adjust. Hope treatment beyond a good hoof job.

@@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.

@@Effemo58 Maybe something happened to the owner where they were no longer able to care for them, the way they normally would.

I agree.

There are two horses in this video with the same condition 😡

Ikr what about the fucking owners?

The owner should have big circles of concrete strap to their feet just like those and make them walk around like that for a long time

@@gdibenedetto9877 or have something chopped off...

Animals intuitively know when someone is helping them. Any shelter animal has immense gratitude. I help feral cats. I see it all the time. God bless this man.

Exactly!

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

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.
