Thank you for not slamming the horses foot down on the ground. I absolutely hate it when a farrier just drops the foot and it slams in the ground. The horses hate it too. Makes them hard to shoe. They trust you to handle the feet, and when they are rough, the horses learn not to trust and not to cooperate.

What a treat it is to sit on the shoulder of a true journeyman as they "do their thing."

Lee: "...and he has got a lameness." Horse: "Yes, this one." What a good, intelligent boy! I'm glad y'all were able to help him, and that he wasn't afraid of y'all makin' it worse.

Lets take a second to fully appreciate what these farriers do for the comfort of the wonderful horses!! This guy is super clean and professional. Excellent video!

I Don't know anything about horse. But I do enjoy watching skilled people who take pride in their work.

This stuff is double satisfying for me as a structural aircraft maintainer as I work a lot with aluminium including a lot of shaping and a wide range of different heat treatment processes. So not only is it satisfying to watch from an empathic side; seeing the horse being respected, loved and taken care of... it's super satisfying to watch you work with the shoes and explain why you do certain things with the metal. I have no idea what grade of aluminium these sort of horseshoes are made from and I'm sure it's different from the 2024 and 7075 I'm used to working with... but cool nonetheless!

He lifted up his foot because he knows you can help him, aw, bless.

The only thing that could make this better... have the horse walk so we can hear the lovely sound of new shoes!! It is like hearing a good tap dancer. Love your video. The first one I've seen.

Idk how I got here but I watched the entire video completely fascinated. 🤩

Hate to see bad work on animals...Such a shame. Thank God for this man's excellent care.

Farriers truly have a Back breaking job.. This is beautiful work! ❤❤

Excellent that the horse found you.

Smooth and clean ! Love the way you work❣️🥕🥕🥕🥕🥕

Imagine the relief that horse felt after this trim. That how you know you got good farrier. They care about not only function but comfort.

That's definitely a skilled practice! Very good eye and work! I've never watched anything like this before but it definitely kept my interest!

Mr Olsen really cares for the horse. Thumbs up !

Merciful hands. 🌞🙏

Iv just experienced watching my new horse being reshod to suit his new home, the difference in his sure footedness is amazing

You really take time to do right for the horse. Their feet so important. Horses have carried us for thousands of years, we must respect and care for them Thank you for what you do.

That horse is amazing, so calm, no resistance.

It's always fascinating to watch a craftsman apply his trade like an artist.

That’s beautiful work, many blessings, to really good farriers, that have that special touch. Thank you.❤

Continuous, thoughtful, assessment. Does not rush, empathy and caring. Wish there were more people like him in every walk of life😇

I know nothing about horses and found this work amazing. The horse is so well behaved for having something painful worked on. I looked so relieved, like it knew things were about to be much better.

Really professional & matured farrier. Thank god 👍🏽

Your place looks like a combination doctor's office and an auto repair shop. Pretty cool. Love your forge

Glad your taking care of our horse friends they have done so much for us for thousands of years they deserve our utmost respect.

A man who takes his time to do a job right, shows his skills and pride in his personal work. You're a true professional, and caring of the horse's wellbeing. And I am thankful there are men like you tending to beautiful horses needs!!

I’ve gotta say that watching these videos is my new hobby. It’s really a forgotten art that you do. It’s like the profession that no one hears about but the select lucky ones. Keep on doing what you’re doing. Awesome work and thank you for your care in what you do.

In recognizing what is incorrect and advancing into the correct you enter the master class, more podiatric prosthetic surgeon. Congratulations, well done.

This smart girl herself knew what you were going to do when she nodded and raised her hand and showed it. The calmness of this horse also shows well that he has full confidence in the young cowboy while following the slightest movement with his eyes. What I have learned is that he is really in pain and he is in a state of illness that he is very worried about while trusting his own surgeon.

Bless it!! He was letting us know where he was hurting! Just breaks my heart for babies and animals not being able to tell us where they are hurting or if they are hurting! Thank you to the owner for paying close attention to his horse and thank you guys for taking such great care of them ALL ❤😊

The horse understands everything you are doing and really appreciates it.

Thank you for your gentle caring hands. Keep up the good work. God bless you

What a patient, sweetheart of a horse.

13:56 I couldn't imagine how patient this man is to walk in a find a gallon of horse pee right where he was working and carry on like nothing even happened. I wish to have that kind of focus, patience and dedication to a task. God bless you sir!

Great ferrier! Nice solid fit no gaps.. took time and care.. she is going to be comfortable!

I've been watching a lot of farrier videos. There's something wholesome and very satisfying about watching a horseshoeing job done properly.

I don't and never owned a horse but you make it interesting ,areal craftsman at work ,its nice to know the horse gets a little relief in life .

Watching this video made me just amazed,you are an Artist,a surgeon and an Orthopedic Doctor,thank you🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏I love horses

That farrier cares. Love it. It's not tools he's knows how to handle, but the animal itself. He's number one in my book!

I really appreciated the perfectionism/attention to detail, seeing you return multiple times to get the shape just right. It really shows you care. I know nothing about horses, but it's still fascinating to watch.

Wow! I didn’t know there is SO MUCH to learn about horse hoof care.

I find it incredible how horses cooperate with shoe fittings. I hate to see any animal suffering and it is such a pleasure to watch a truly professional man attend to its wound.

That crack goes to the coronet band. It must of been there for some time thank you for putting it right for this horse Why wouldn't the other farrier of seen this

Poor Horse this must Hurt badlyt the farrier must know a Lot about horses Not Only huves!A hard and speziell Job!big Respekt

Stumbled across your video completely by accident. You deserve a medal mate, such caring work and the horse obvioualy had complete trust in. Full marks to you.

It's always a pleasure watching a skilled passionate person at work

Love the use of the blister I have been told I was an idiot for doing that on quarter cracks. It has worked great though.

Darn, it ended too soon. I was waiting for the horses' reaction like........"oooooh that feels good"

What care you give…God Bless you♥️

I’m not a horse person, but I found this so interesting to watch. I’ve often wondered how horrible and painful horse hoofs must be if they were to have an issue with them. I don’t have anything to compare to but I did like how gentle you were. Bless you for your attention to detail and helping these beautiful animals live their lives in as much comfort as possible.

Wow, its always nice to see a expert at the job😊😊, well done young man .

You are just the ultimate professional. It's amazing to see you at work. Thank you for taking us along, so we can see how it's done, when it's done the way it should be.

Amazing work. I sent this video to my farrier and he likes your techniques

What special talent he has in getting it right , a true professional , amazing !!

I was just making custom insoles for my shoes and it is a lot like what you’re doing but plastic is easier to work with! Thank you for treating those gentle creatures with such good care!

Lee, watched my Dad trim his horses from quarter horses to throughbreds. Saw cold shoing and hot shoeing. Iton shoes and aircraft aluminium shoes. Your use of epoxies, elastics, forge, anvil, rasp and blade were inspiring. Remarkable eye for fit and gentle manner working with the horse. All with out 1 cuss word or slap on the rump. I noted the gallon of urine but no road apples! Well set up shop and work area. How many years training I know not. Many years good fortune to you.

Awesome job, it’ll be great to see how this beauty heals, you certainly know your stuff. I love how gentle you were and how respectful for this guy you were too. Thank you for the lesson. 🙏🏻

Well that was fun to watch. I went to Dawson Creek to learn this skill in 1974. Lasted 18 months. Too tall, too slow and not clued in enough. Loved watching you using your hands to do things like flipping the file around end for end, feeling the tip of the nail exit the foot to gauge where it was located, etc. Subtle stuff. Worn through chaps with the gouges on the inside of the legs. Back brace ! Got racked Real Well by a couple of foundered donkeys the first time and a Shetland pony put me out of business the second and last time. Who knew you needed back muscles to lift your legs up onto the clutch and brake peddles to get off the claim and limp back home to lick your wounds. Not 1975 in this vid. Horse brought to your shop, not visa versa. Bone handled trimming knife with a brass pommel - Woot. Grinder, Drill press, stall with tie points. Well and truly laid out. I had a pair of GE nippers that cost $200 bucks I think. Some Black Diamond tools as well. Still using the pull-offs 47 years later. Mustad made the nails and shoes. We made the pritchels and clinch blocks when we were learning how to use the forge. The welding shop trade school students made my coal fired forge with a hand cranked blower. The shoeing stand was made from a disk harrow disk and a length of pipe and my anvil was cut from a piece of H beam. Fit it all in my VW microbus with an Old Horse Shoer Blacksmithing Coal burlap sack tied to the front for advertising. Not anything like your shop. 12 weeks of trade school later and there I was. A farrier set loose on the unsuspecting public. Ha. They saw me coming from a mile away. Every owner of a misbehaving, cracked hoofed horse in my area looked me up. One penny pinching horse woman negotiate 25% off of the $8 I charged for being allowed to trim the feet of her 6 horses. Never told me I had to catch them first. Boy, I was dumb. I've been watching those guys trim cows feet. I can not believe how much material they take off with those grinders. Speaking of grinders, that was a pretty spooky fix you did there. We were shown how to put long nails from side to side to lace it up. Never had to do that 'personally. Trimming the 'Dutch boots' off the aforementioned donkey with a hack saw was spooky too. Anyways, nice set up, very skilled hands and a great horse. Glad I watched your video.

Pretty cool, y'all seem to bring his lil buddy along to keep him company during his procedure, true caring

Very professional and nice job done for this beautiful horse. The farrier is a real pro and gentle too. Full marks!

Looks like a fine repair and the horse seems to be able to put weight on that foot without too much discomfort, well done.

Wonderful work! I'd love to see the three and six month follow-up visits to see how the hoof is healing.

Wow! I know nothing about horses, but I gained so much knowledge from watching you work! I watch a lot of cow hoof trimming videos, but this is nothing short of amazing!

wao, the horse knows this hooman is there to fix his hoof, he's pulling his leg up to show the problem area 😀😮 very inteligent

In evansville ind. We don’t see this type of craftsman ship. Thank you, i watch the whole film. It interesting on how gentle you handle the horse hooves. Thank you for making a good film and explaining why you did the steps you did to make this comfortable. Thanks

just come across this, have had nothing to do with horses but still adsmire them. It's a please to watch such a skilled craftsman at work...well done sir, your are a equine artisan! (From Wales in the UK!) Cymru am byth!

I'm impressed with the horses trust. I would have liked to see you walk the horse.

Love seeing the different methods for taking care of horse and cow feet

Very nice work sir. I especially like how you prepare the hoof and shoe to avoid pressure on that crack. I have not seen a crack like that and this was very informative. I'm glad the horse is in good hands.

Impressive how the horse stay quiet in the entire process

Though your job looks very technical, the main ingredient is love. 😍 Your concern for the animal well-being is impressive.

A little bit of cutting fluid will make drilling those holes in aluminum much easier and make those bits last twice as long.

Great work! Would be nice to see the end result on the crack

Wow, very impressive craftsman. Tremendous respect for what these workers do.

Thank you for explaining in such detail what you are doing and why. I was wondering about the frog on the foot you're doing. It just didn't look right. Now I understand. That horse is very well-trained and patient. Good Horse!💜

I watch 4 others. I’ve just subscribed to you. You’re a class act. Easy to understand.. Coming from a cat lover…well all animals but yeah. Horses are the most beautiful and soulful creatures ❤️👍🏼🇺🇸 I also love how gentle you set the horses foot down. Now I’m hipper aware of all the other farriers who just drop the foot 😒

Excellent overview of your process from diagnosis to correct shoe A true professional like you makes it look easy !

The pride of workmanship and attention to detail is second to none. Strong work!! Excellent content, thoroughly explained. 5/5 Stars

Thank you very much for explaining what you are doing. It must be so rewarding knowing you have made a difference! Excellent A+

Fascinating! I am amazed by how complicated horse shoeing is, even without a problem.

I am very impressed with your knowledge and expertise. Great video. I only wish we had such knowledgable and capable farriers where I live. Wow

One happy horse again. Awesome stuff!

That certainly is an all consuming work requiring a lot of knowledge, experience, persistence, tools and determination!

Lucky horse to have Lee as his farrier. Well done video. Thank you.

Hello, I am new to your channel, and love your attention to detail and how you care for the horses. I find watching a farrier work on horses and one who trims cows hooves very relaxing. if the horse didn’t thank you, I do on their behalf thank your for also explaining the steps as you work. 👍🏽

What a awrsome job you did mate the horse will be more comfortable when out riding nice job mate kind regards Greg Lee from Melbourne Victoria Australia.

You impress me with your care to take the time too get it right for the horse.

you are a lovely soul . thankyou for the share.

I have become fascinated with your videos lately. 2 weeks ago I don't think I even knew what a Farrier was and I'm hooked! Thank you for this great video and keep them coming. True craftsmanship is fun to watch...and I enjoy the magnificent animals too!

You are so professional and a good man sir.

Lovely seeing the care you give to a beautiful horse, I hope the horse is no longer in pain.

Amazing. Pleasing to see how you could help this big animal.

I'm amazed at the fact that animals are docile (for the most part) during the time they're getting trimmed or in this case, having a painful foot looked at...

Это лошадке повезло, отличное видео! The horse was lucky, Excellent video!

She is doing great. 🎉

Thank you for helping that horse !

TY for your good care.

I love the workmanship’s and how you care about the animals ❤️. I enjoy watching the video Thank you
