Lots to love about the skill of a farrier, but I think one thing that I find most impressive, at least from the videos I have watched, is that they seem to forge the shoe to just the right size, seemingly all by sight.

Would love to see updates on all the horses you are bringing back to a good, healthy life! What a wonderful thing you guys and ladies do!

I'm an artist, and when I saw that the farrier was finishing one side of the shoe before shaping the whole thing I knew something was up. In 2d and 3d art you do both sides of one thing at the same time to keep them consistent, which is how you keep features like eyes and limbs symetrical and consistent, and that seems to be the case with making horse shoes. Having a shoe that tapers on one side so the hoof lands flat on the ground, mechanically, makes so much sense considering the horse's issue. I don't know how I ended up on this side of youtube but I love this, being a farrier is such an amazing art form. These are some lucky animals to be under your expertise and care!

I've seen Riley (the owner) build fullered shoes on here but the guy in this video is incredible. I can't believe how fast and accurately he's able to make the groove.

It's wonderful that you are so aware of how his foot is landing and can rebalance this problem with a custom shoe that will have him landing flat and avoiding future damage to the bones and performance in that leg and foot.Impressive. Thank you for sharing.

Thank you for sharing some mighty fine metal work.

Your hammering is just like a metronome! 💙

Your tools seem to spend a lot of time on the ground! (I have the same problem at my anvil!) Always nice to see how other people work. Always something to learn.

This is a career and craft that will always be needed. Thank you

An old school skilled artisan at work

A real craftsman.

It is so neat to watch them make the shoes for the horses.

Comparable to a "Thomas Heel" in "human shoes" A little wedge can mean a lot of foot and leg pain relief.

That's what I would call an orthotic horseshoe. What a beautiful horse shoe and the horse looks like he wants to sa ''ahh''

Thank you for helping this animal. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

It is awesome to see the shoes being made. 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉. Great job.

It would be great to get a follow-up report on the horse. 🙂

Great job and nice horsey.

Someone needs to get this guy a new pair of chaps, lol.

Its a pleasure to watch

Simply amazing

9:20 That huff nail draw down plier is a sweet tool.

Respect! Incredible

I know it's probably stupid to most people but I love listening to the shoe being put in water. Lol

There is just something so satisfying about watching someone hammer red hot steel into a horse shoe, then shoe the horse with it.

Excellent

Youre all such skilled smiths when it comes to making shoes and other shoeing related things, do any of you mess around doing other blacksmithing stuff for fun?

Excellent!

Question are wild horse feet like our bred horses in regards to fitting the horseshoe. You have a wild horse of multiple generations you find yourself shoeing, would it be the same as shoeing the horses in your videos? Are the feet the same in feelings? The horses don't seem to mind hot metal placed on their feet for sizing.

Вы молодец! У вас золотые руки!

I've seen so many of these horse shoeing and rehabilitation videos and I always wonder if when making the shoe if they feel like a medieval blacksmith I would

Respect !

I use an aluminum comfort support shoe on horses with side bone issues..I have had good results from that.

Good job

Is the color spectrum of the sun used as a visual reference to know when bar stock is ready to be hammered into the desired shape?

Well done.

Look at that damage

OK I have to ask; what is with the hammer-anvil tap? I've seen every youtuber blacksmith do this and I don't get it. What is the point of tapping the anvil with the hammer after a few blows on the hot metal? Is there any point to this or has this just become a style thing?

Does making the shoe thicker on one side affect balance of the hoof

Why did you put the groove in the one side of the shoe and not the other?

So is this shoe design intended to get the hoof to lean more inward?

My back would be on fire!!!

I love watching farriers hammer!

What’s the steel brush used for?

Why were the two nails not countersunk, was that to make that side of the shoe a bit higher? Sorry, not too familiar with this subject ~ obviously 😊

I'm curious, Why didn't you create a channel for the nail heads on the thinner side of the shoe? Won't the nail heads add height? Or will it not matter as the heads wear down? Don't get me wrong, you created a beautiful hand crafted therapeutic shoe. If the goal was to lower the outside of the hoof, why not have a channel for the nail heads also?

Why do you Tap on the anvil 3 or 4 times with nothing on it while working on the shoe?

So you made one half of the shoe thicker than the other?

The video didn't show how the horse walked before, really didn't see anything after because the camera was so far away, I don't see how that little bit of beveling on the shoe could have made that much of a difference

I wonder why he made a groove only on one side of the shoe...? Could someone explain this technicality to me ?

Why do you beat the hammer on the anvil?

What is that flaky stuff all over his leg ?

Poor fella

So it's like wearing braces?

what is that flakey mess all over the horses leg?

Do you guys all laugh at the rookies on “Forged in Fire”? Seems like you would blow most of them out of the water with your metal working abilities

I wouldnt be happy by this narrow shoeing. The hoof must have som surface to Expand on. Here its Nothing. Tight.

What is that we are crazy

This is not good

Orthotics for horses 🙂 That rasp spin at 2:40
