Yes, they should be done on a regular basis, but if the vet is needed for sedation try to coordinate everything with the owner vet and farrier can also be near impossible to arrange.

Thanks for saying this.

Don't have to explain it, just go with it. 😂 ✌️

Me too, I really enjoy watching 😊

These video types are mesmerizing. Other similar video types are Ecuadorian gravity kart races, abcess draining, cyst extraction, and live stream slot machine play.

ASMR😊

why the owners wait so long for repair?

Thank you I appreciate the comment

Amazing job!

Yes! I've definitely seen way worse tho

@@faragraf9380 I don't know if anyone has answered your question and I see its been 3 months, but as a horse person myself I can say that its likely he's a rescue that's never had them done regularly or never had the training. as big of a horse as he is training on to get comfortable where you can handle his feet is difficult. you can see in the video even under sedation he's not relaxed and is still fighting a bit. that tells me that without sedation it would be near impossible to touch them. I'm sure he's receiving desensitization training between time but 6 weeks comes faster than you think, and progress can be slow. depending on the background some may never allow there feet to be touched without the sedation.

My back was killing me just watching the video.

@@crabapple1951 I have been watching videos from Middle or Far East (??), they show trimming of a b s o l u t e l y n e g l e c t e d donkey hooves and the cruel handling which I think is severely criticized by all European and US-American people: see the video titles listed below. But there is o n e advantage: These trimmers use only one tool: extremely big knives, (which wouldn`t be purchasable for ex. in Europe) and they need only one minute or less to shorten a hoof with them. Disadvantage: They haven`t got smaller knives for the treatment of the frog or any other tools such as files etc.): 1. "The collection video of repairing donkey hooves" 2. "There was such a big stone stuck in the donkey hoof! Donkey can`t walk because of pain" 3. "The donkey hooves have pus and rotten flesh, and the master successfully cured it!" 4. "Injured and Neglected hooves get trimmed" 5. "Beste befriedigende Klauenpflege-Kollektion! Hilf dem Esel, wieder zum Leben zu erwachen". 6. "Amazing Life changing Donkey Hoof Trimming with Lee Olsen......"

@@charlottebonnie5320 I've seen those videos! though the language spoken there was most likely Chinese. At first I just liked watching them fix the donkeys but as I compare to professional farriers and those videos, I can see what you mean. All those hoof trimmers have this incredibly sharp knife and a basic stool that just looks like two planks with a strip of rubber tire over them. And they just cut the donkey's hoof a ala guillotine style. Sometimes the trimmers get bold and use garden sheers to cut of a large chunk of the hoof and "polish" it up with the guillotine knife. Idk if what they are doing is actually harming the animal because I am not that knowledgeable on hoof trimming

​​@@Peppmintleaf it's doing much more harm than good. They don't do z rays to see where the coffin bone is, they cut willy nilly and don't give a f abt the animals at all. The garden sheers hurt the animal a lot bc of the torsion it creates. Sure the hoof has no nerves but it's connected to tissue that does, which is often infected. Imagine cutting an injected hangnail off with blunt scissors. Yeouch!!

It's more your upper legs that hurt. I trim my own horse's hooves. I usually only do two hooves at a time and they are not much work, but my upper legs always hurt the next day, because of the position you're standing in. I'm sure professional trimmers are much more trained than I am so they probably don't have this problem anymore. However, I do quite often hear about them having back problems.

My dad was a ferrier for 25 years. He was a lefty, and his biceps on his left arm were about 19”. He was huge man, about 6’ 4”, 385 lb man. He could actually lock the horse’s hind legs up on his shoulder and pull the hoof between his legs. It allowed them to use the force of each other. My dad had back pain for his entire life tho. Had to eventually have back surgery, where he had 7 titanium cages put in around his spine.

OH ITS A HORSE! God I’m such an idiot usually cow ones are recommended to me! No wonder I didn’t see toes! I was like “this is a weird ass cow! It ain’t got no toes!”

@@CorneeliusIt's nice when you are lost and find your way back... I have been there... lol

My old farrier used a men’s tube sock with the toe cut off to trim horses with feathers.

What is the white material inside the hoof? Thank you,

@@johnwhite9065 the white material is dead dried out sole. In the wild, with lots of contact with rocks, streams, stones and sand, it would get knocked out naturally, as the surrounding hoof gets worn down. But as we have produced particular breeds, and kept them in unnatural environments, we need to trim them to keep them in shape.

I've seen gravy boats hold less than what could be held in that poor horse's hoof.

@@mokko759 😂

Looked like giant scallop shells...he must be so much more comfortable now.

@@johnwhite9065 do you mean the "sole" of his hoof that comes flying off as it's trimmed?

Just rewind and rewatch this video three more times.

😅

Soy de Argentina a esos dueños le saco los animales el dueño es un cretino

I've seen dozens and dozens of horses with EXTREME overgrown hooves. It's sickening.

It's very exhausting especially when the horses don't cooperate. I have to do mine myself because they play up every time I have someone out to do their feet. They are rescue horses and they have been through a lot, and all I get from the farriers is send them back to the knackers yards. It really hurts when people say that, these horses have already been through so much😢

Thanks mate appreciate it. I had to work hard that day.

Oh your aching back !

Thank you mate

Thank you. It is hard work but worth it in the end when they feel better.

I have friends who look for the cheapest farrier who comes through the area periodically. If a shoe comes off they have to wait a week or more to get it fixed. Plus their trims aren't on a regular schedule. This often happens due to their budget. I understand that, but they NEVER allow their horse's feet to get that severely overgrown. I have a regular schedule with my farrier and we only get off our 6 week schedule due to the weather or illness.

Thanks mate glad you like the video. It was a hard video to record as he was still jumpy with sedation in him.

Thanks for watching 🤙

Yes I was very sore after doing them. Took a lot of work 🤣
