I love how a majority of the comments are: “I don’t know how I got here but I enjoyed watching a horse get a pedicure”

Him: talks about horses Me:Hmmm, yes, the horse is made of horse

My dad does this for a living, one weird thing I always tell people is that dogs absolutely love chewing on the clippings, I suppose it’s like chewing on a slightly softer bone

I'm a CJF Texas farrier. Just wanted to say WELL DONE . Also a good knowledge of functional anatomy disspels MANY myths . Well done

The fact that you put yourself in such an uncomfortable position just so the horse doesn't have to lift its leg as high is so sweet. You sir, are a kind soul.

Me: 19 missing assignments, a speech due and 2 upcoming meetings Also me: horsey

My grandfather was a blacksmith and farrier in the old country. I never knew how hard this type of work was until seeing videos like this. Thanks for making this content.

When you are at the vet check and see if they can fuse your spine while they are at it. I can't think of job that is harder on the back than being a farrier. I trim up my horses hooves and I can only work for 20 minutes at a time. My full time ferrier just retired and his back is trashed.

I dont know squat about horses, but this guy looks and sounds like a master.

I love how he says “I get the opportunity to take care of these horses” instead of “I have to take care of these horses” So wholesome :3

Definitely a man who loves and knows his job. When you love what you do, it’s no longer a job, but a passion. 👍

Thanks for being considerate of discomfort horse might be experiencing as you do hoof work. I also soooooooo appreciate your explaining what's going on as you do the work. I've not had much exposure to horses, but I now have such an appreciation for what goes into owning & properly caring for a horse.

KZfaq: "wanna see a horse get a pedicure?" Me: "absolutely"

Fun fact: You didn’t search for this, this was recommended. I’ll see you all in 15 years when this gets recommended again.

This is so interesting! I found this in my recommended right before falling asleep. It's totally unrelated, but I'm an ornithologist & owl enthusiast and I couldn't help but keep noticing how the hooves kind of look like barn owl faces when they're trimmed, it's super cool!!

Nice job, you make it look effortless.. being a self taught trimmer, my hoof knife never cuts well, how do you sharpen or keep them sharp? thanks for helping educate horse people on good proper hoof care. Rick Dallas, Texas

He says it does hurt her, but it’s not because he’s trimming her hoof. It’s only hurting the horse because she has to put weight on the bad leg.

Horse: “Girl nothing , just got in from getting my hooves did. “

Yeah about the frog being “more sensitive”, the dude in this video was completely right, it isn’t more sensitive, but I think a lot of barns and trainers stress to tell their students to not pick the frog or mistake it for mud or rocks.

Since I discovered these horse shoeing videos, I can't get enough, they are so satisfying. Especially seeing extremely neglected hoofs being treated.

me knowing nothing about horses or what ringbone is: "hmmmm yes interesting i completely understand"

I was about to say "Oh she's so cooperative!" Cuz the first one went so well, but then she had to put her weight on that bad foot and that all went out the window. Poor gal, she's trying but she's so uncomfortable.

My father and his father were farriers and i was to young to i guess care about this type of work. I regret now wanting to see more. My dad hasn't done in 20+ years. It brings me joy to see these videos. Thank you.

I have a percheron with ring bone in both front legs he's to difficult for farrier to trim his hoofs . So I learned on my own to trim his hoofs . I also use a rotary hoof knife used mostly for cattle but it makes it easier for to trim the hoofs because I have about a 20 second window to trim some before my horse puts his foot down because he can't stand on 3 legs or he will fall on top me so I have to be fast in my trimming. My horse is 25yrs old . Be safe everyone 👍

I just watched a horse get a pedicure. How did I get here?

for all you non-horse people wondering if it’s weird that you find this satisfying, don’t worry, horse people find this satisfying too

I am beyond impressed. This is miraculous. I know as much about horses and their feet as I do about submarines. You are educating me. Continued success with vet school, I know you will do well, I can hear your love for the horses and what you are doing. All the best, Brooklyn, NY

Its great to see a ferior that loves his job. I'm from wi and we had a horse and the ferior always acted like his job was such a pain. Thank you for caring about your job and these beautiful creatures.

I know that the horse isn't being hurt since she is just standing there like everything is all good but man did I squirm when you used those massive pliers.

Him: **cleans hoof** Me: oh hey that looks really good Him: I’m not even done yet and it still doesn’t look great Me: yeah it’s still awful

It is a testament to your nobility that you tend kindly to the animals that are put in your charge. I know nothing of horses or their needs and somehow I know that you are doing right by them. Thanks for the video.

Such a caring & gentle Farrier. I loved watching him trim this horse’s hooves.

This is horrible, cruelty even. The horse didnt even pay him for the pedicure, tsk tsk, after all that good work.

I can't believe i just spent 13 minutes learning about horse arthritis.

Shadows not a problem just love watching and listening, thanks!

My mom was with a man with horses. I loved watching this done. So relaxing and such a skill.

People like this are so under appreciated sometimes

Seagulls swallowing things whole, a dog eating a burrito in 1 second, ducks eating peas, and now a horse pedicure, I think the almighty algorithm is telling me something

And here I thought clipping my restless dog's nails was hard

I think for me the misconception that the frog is sensitive came from being taught not to pick it. A lot of people who are new to horses think it's a patch of packed dirt at first

I guess conceptually I knew that horse hooves are made of fingernail material, but it's hilarious to me that the hoof clippers make the same sound that nail clippers do, like snip snip

Don’t worry about the shadows: the horse and you need to be comfortable.

Hello from Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 I've not owned a horse for a few years now and I'd forgotten how much a loved watching the farrier at work. So satisfying. You're really skilled.

Its so good to see humans taking care of and being kind to animals. I think it's supposed to be that way. They were created and living on this earth just like we were.

The fact that a vast majority of people, myself included, didn't search for this or watched anything similar, and yet, it was recommended to us, is amazing. I still can't believe I just sat here and watched a horse pedicure but I'm not disappointed. Great video

The most interesting thing about this channel is that Sheldon add’s context and teaches about the situation compared to the other horse shoe videos which are just ASMR

So proud of this beautiful work. Farriers, good ones, are often not appreciated enough. Excellent patience with uncomfortable horse. 🙂

About 59 years ago I had a horse that had ringbone in her front feet. She had been used as a parade horse. She stumbled then rolled over on my right leg. That's when we found out we needed to keep her feet trimmed more often. Oh yeah, she was a Tennessee Walker.

Hi. Writing message from Japan. I watch tons of horse related KZfaq channels to self educate myself. I do not come from a horsy background but I started riding horses about an decade ago and now adore this creature. Figured out that the best way to treat them right is to know about them. Reading and watching horse anatomy and behaviours helps me understand more deeply. Your channel is awesome. Even though English is not my mother tongue, I do find your channel interesting and easy to comprehend. Technical terms are the hardest but eager to know more. Looking forward to see you more in this channel. Stay safe and stay healty.

“Don’t worry, just gonna give your bones a trim.” - my brain

I did not have any interest in horses trimming videos nor know anything about horses but after watching how you do it, your commentary, your smooth gesture, the bond between you and the horse, i feel satisfied, i feel like you did a great job and more importantly you did it with love with the well being of the animal in mind. I absolutely respect that and thank you for what you did! Keep it up 👍

Not knowing what to expect, the first time he put his tool back in the holster it was clear he's the real deal.

The horses must be feeling better after they got trimmed.

*me wondering why he’s talking about frogs* ~Kentucky

Thanks for your dedication, care & compassion for all the horses you look after . It quite clearly shows in how you work with them . Greetings to all from Derbyshire, England .

Super informative! I don’t know anything about horses really so this sort of thing is super interesting to me. Bonus points for being so compassionate to the animals.

I don’t know anything about horses but I can at least see that this horse needed this BAD. You really helped her out!

If anyone wondering how horses trim their nails I'll explain.Wild horses trim their nails by moving many kilometers.A domesticated horses is unable to wear their hooves down as nature intended. Probably because they don't have much space to run and wear their hooves down

I'm glad to see that your sister-in-law went and helped out two horses that needed a new home. People don't realize there or rescue groups for almost any animal out there. Even at your local animal shelter they sometimes have some odd animals other than dogs and cats and bunnies. A new trend is roosters and chickens. For whatever reason people are going out buying them and realize you have to feed and water and house them instead of doing the work they turned them over to the shelter. It's good to see someone who knows what they're doing working with the horses. I enjoyed watching your videos I look forward to seeing more.

You are like an artist. Much love and detail goes into your work. I also like the fact of how you explain the different issues you may encounter. Love from Kentucky!

If you really think about it, horse's technically walk on their toe nails

Ah yes the Forbidden coconut shavings 🥥

Me: these videos are so interesting and relaxing, let's watch another * selects this one * Me: oh... those forearms tho 👀

Thank you for making her feel better so it will help her walk better.

You can tell, even with her horse arthritis pain, she felt relief with her hooves clean

My feed :full of video game videos KZfaq: look at this horse getting a pedicure Loved watching the vid ngl🤣

Very talented farrier. I'm very happy to see young people doing this type work.it seams you're happy . Thanks for sharing your time. Jan 2022 KANSAS

As an instrument rated pilot, the FAA required us to become working familiar with all systems on board and how they interacted with one another. So too is riding a horse. Keep up your cogent explanations.

Dislikes are from horses who can’t afford a pedicure

13:23 horse in the background is listening to heavy metal

I swear KZfaq finds the best things to recommend at 2 AM lol

Thank you so much for your gifts your such amazing person! Sending you all love and prayers for yourself!🥰🙏🐎

This isn’t my usual thing, but it was nice to hear you talk about how to help this horse with their leg, and letting them lean on you when they’re hurting. Thank you for being so compassionate. I’m sure in their own way, that horse really appreciated it.

Californian here. Never seen something like this but it was oddly satisfying.

So kind of your sister in law to help these two horses. Thank you so much ❤️ You did a really nice job!! Take care everyone!! May God be with you 🙏🐴💫

Wow, of all the decades I've held horses for trimming, I never get to see the whole job done with such detail! Awesome. Thanks for this. It's my first time visiting your channel.

Me: *doesn't own a horse* KZfaq: Hooooorse Me: "this will definitely be useful information"

As a horse person it was not weird that this was recommended to me. What is weird is that I seem to be the exception. 😆

Watching these makes me wish I’d have stayed in school… I could spend an entire year with horses and never see another human and never feel lonely.. horses are something special..

Thank you for your thoughtfulness!!

Regarding the myth that frogs are sensitive- when I first started riding (about 30 years ago) and was being taught how to care for a horse prior to tacking up, I was told, repeatedly and loudly, "NEVER TOUCH THE FROG! IT'S SO SENSITIVE THAT IF YOU TOUCH IT YOU WILL MAKE YOUR HORSE LAME!!!" I'm not joking or exaggerating. I was screamed at and barred from riding that day when cleaning a horse's hoof and the pick grazed the frog. The whole thing didn't make sense to me so I researched it (which involved going to a LIBRARY and reading BOOKS) talked to a farrier and got the correct information. So, I think the myth keeps getting handed down, so to speak, when misinformed kids grow up and become misinformed trainers. No one questions it or thinks "I'll talk to the farrier about it".

People: Doesn't it hurt the horse? Me: Has he been kicked to next century yet?

Thanks for sharing this content- it's such a joy to see someone both skilled at their craft and taking care of animals like this

You know I'm actually really glad that you mentioned the fact that the frog is not a sensitive part of the horse's foot because when I was little I used to volunteer at a horse rescue called fallen horses and they always told me never go around the frog now that I know that now I wish I would have done that

As someone who carves wood, it absolutely terrifies me that he cuts towards himself so often.

Horse: Just got my feet done, it’s on fleek

Look so much better trimmed bet shes walking better and feeling more comfortable great work! Good to see these horses getting used again and getting the care they need

If anyone is wondering if this hurts the horse, trust me, *he would know.* Edit: holy shit how tf did this get 1k likes-

she just gettin her nails did😌💅

What and amazing service. good to see and share with my kids. wow. Amazing. thanks

Sitting here in Nashville, TN, just found your channel and I'm fascinated hearing your explanations. My last horse was an off the track thoroughbred who developed navicular disease. We went through a lot of farriers with different ideas how to deal with that, so I have a real interest in making problems better with the foot of a horse. You do a great job, thanks for letting us watch.

It’s AWESOME how you do this! People are always thinking animals are just toys, and once they aren’t fun or get to old to do what they want it to, the neglect it. Animals deserve respect in care! In fact, most animals have kinder hearts than the humans I know! Keep up the good work, taking care of these horses

Him: talks about frog Me: looks around for a frog next to the horse

Love that you let her rest...

This has to make the horse feel better. Especially if it’s been a long time since their last trim!

Everyone: gets this recommended Me: searched this up

Guy : “Lemme help you!” Horse : *refuses to pick up foot* ✨no✨

When I was little, I always thought this process was painful. Im glad to see the quality and care in this video . Nice job!

O my this horse is so lucky to have a savior with a big heart ❤ Hard work,but worth the effort 👌
