It's such a a huge bummer the owner hasn't kept in touch with you to keep rehabbing this poor guy's feet. Heartbreaking to think he's not getting proper care.

'We as humans don't deserve the horse' Honestly, we don't really deserve any of the animals we've domesticated. Love your videos, and love that you call neglect what it actually is.

Wish all farriers here and abroad were as competent and caring as you. Am worried about this boy and his incommunicative owner.

I can’t stand people who willingly and knowingly allow their horses and animals to suffer from neglect. It makes my blood boil.

so glad to see part 2. I'm disappointed that the owner wasn't able to or willing to get back to you to further help this horse... thanks!

You are a terrific farrier. The owner does NOT realise how lucky he was to have you as the farrier to this horse. So disappointing and sad for the horse, he hasn’t contacted you again. Really enjoying your commentary on your videos. Learning heaps from you.

It’s super disappointing that the owner of this horse is not following through when it comes to his feet. Not every horse owner deserves a horse. Horses are an expensive venture, don’t get one if you can’t afford to properly care for one. I bought a foundered pony once just to get him away from his abusive owner. It cost a small fortune to get him well but he was very sweet and he brought my children lots of joy. Caleb, you sound like such a caring person. Great job! I just subscribed to your channel, looking forward to watching in the future.

My mom was a real horse person. In fact she was nominated to be inducted into the Cowgirl Hall of Fame. She was always looking after their feet. The said it was very important. Thanks for what you did for this horse. Prayers the owner will reach out to you again.

Nice job Caleb. It makes me very upset and sad for this horse to see how bad his hooves were before you worked on them. Thank you for caring about the welfare and comfort of this horse enough to reach out to the owner to schedule an appointment to work on its two back hooves. I hope you will continue to help him until you get him in proper hoof shape for his own comfort and health. Thank you. ❤❤🐴🧲

My utmost respect! I barely know the difference between a horse and a mule, but this is so interesting to watch.

Im SOOOO glad you mentioned about the chinese video's of donkey's and horse's having their hooves trimmed.(if you can even call it that) It's absolutely horrific, as you say and yet people are praising them in the comments! Those poor animals! 😢 Also I'm from the UK and had to look up what you meant by founder. We call it Laminitis!

Nice job on his hooves. Im disapointed that the owners didnt get back to you and get him redone, he deserves better. My aunt had a pony that was born to big racing trotter Dam and Sire but she was a tiny little 12 hands high and a real little piglet when it came to food so on a regular basis she was put in the yard on restricted diet until she lost weight. My aunt was determined that she wasnt going to founder and kept a really close eye on her weight and always made sure her hooves (and all the other horses hooves) were well taken care of. I wish more people were like my aunt. Its nice to know you care enough to contact the owners in the hope to keep up his care.

Hey Caleb, I work in the medical field and have learned you can't save people from themselves. What is frustrating and heartbreaking is when a so called care giver doesn't allow us to care for a patient as we would desire. I "feel" about this horse, not his fault the owner isn't doing the right thing for him.

Dear Caleb, such wonderful vids and all you say is spot on. I used to keep horses and my oldest boy was a skew called Horace who was born in 1963. We had papers to prove it. Same family - us - all his life. Gorgeous animal. Never had laminitis. He finally left us aged 42 in 2005. He was bombproof. He was shod and ridden until he was 38 when his knees would take it no more. Shod and later trimmed every 6 weeks for over 20 years without fail by a lovely Farrier called Trevor. We all had such a bond with Horace and miss him to this day. As you say, horses are such tolerant animals. When Horace got older he never needed a bridle he just became like a big dog. He never bit, kicked or stable walked. His hay was always soaked, medium warming food, loved malted chaff him. And at night last check on him he’d be laid down and he’d let us trusted ones sit down with him You have a wonderful job, Mr Caleb. May you always stay so motivated and humbled by it. God bless, Sir. P.S. I am so disappointed by owners who do not care. What shame they should have.

It's such a shame to hear that the owners have never called you back for a trim. I pray they just went somewhere else and he's getting all the care he needs to thrive.

Thank you for the good work you do for these horses❤❤❤

I've always said that Horses and Dogs are Healers. They are so Forgiving and just want to help us, whether we deserve it or not. You are absolutely correct. We really don't deserve them.

Glad you're caring for him.❤❤❤

As far as getting someone to film for you, you have two options beyond hiring a cameraman. First would be to take on an apprentice farrier and have him film. The second option would be to let various subscribers in your area film for you. Set up a network of people who are willing to film for you if they are available. Then, put the word out, and the first person to contact you for the job gets it, and the second person will be the backup if necessary. Option two is riskier, but it does rewards your subscribers.

I'm so glad you mentioned overseas farriers. You're absolutely correct. I can't watch the videos anymore. The men treat their animals so badly - most are mules and donkeys. They're scarred, underfed, never been brushed, sport open wounds, and are openly beaten. Their hooves are an atrocity - overgrown, painful, missing parts, dry, cracked, and curled. I don't think any of the owners should be allowed to own and be responsible for their animals. It breaks my heart. Great explanation of "founder"/laminitis.

This poor horse. His situation is making me cry. Thank you for doing your best for him.

Loved the part 2 Caleb anyone who cares for animals no matter what species deserves my respect and some go above and beyond not only to care but educate. Animals love unconditionally and without them the world would be a sad place so I'm thankful for all those who care for these beautiful creatures . Look forward to the next vid ..

Looking forward to part two. Very naughty of the owner to not bring him back. Poor little man. Does he really deserve the privilege of owning horses?! Thankyou for the upload. Lisa, England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 😎😎

You are a good and kind man. Thank you.

That's a real shame the owner never kept in touch, it makes me worry for this horses well being. As a horse owner this breaks my heart

Big improvement on this guy. Thank you for sharing.🐴

Thanks so much for what you’ve done for the horse thus far hopefully the owner will see the KZfaq show and bring them in to finish , peace brother 👍🏼🐴

Thank you for explaining what founder/laminitis is. Very educational.

Nice video. You explained and showed it really well! You explained it very well with the horse, here you would say at times 'horses are "faithfully stupid"

Thank you Caleb for a great teaching video. I learned so much. Nice trim for this horse.

Glad to see his back hoofs were not quite as bad as his front...nicely done...and I'm sure the horse feels better standing more level (If you think about the confirmation of the horse, a lot starts from the ground up...shoulders/hips/spine affected by the stance of the feet). No accounting for the decisions of some people...perhaps this owner feels some shame, so is reluctant to schedule you again. All we can hope for is that he gets some help for this horse. Thanks for the follow-up video.🤗

I’m praying the owner gets back in touch with you ASAP! Even if they got another farrier, at least have the decency to tell you at least for the horse’s sake!🙏❤️

dont apologize for forgetting about the camera. its nice to see someone who cares so much about the animal that he forgets about showing others what hes doing. as someone who doesnt own a horse but is considering it and just learning what all it takes to care for 1 first thank u for doing these

Thank you so much for your videos. They help so much for people to get a clue to take care of their horses.

Nice work. And thanks for the lesson and education on horse hoof care. Nice to see someone so passionate and knowledgeable about their craft. And the relief and comfort being provided to the animal is beyond appreciated I'm sure.

So glad you were able to help that horse.

Very good work care hooves doctors very healthy shoes 😊😊

It is so sad that the owner hasn’t allowed you to continue with that beautiful animal. I can’t imagine what they can be thinking.

Thank you for trying to reach out to the owner. Not your fault he/she is a dork...

Thank you for the amazing lesson on the metabolic reason for founder. Hope the horse gets a better owner.

Just watched part one, and now this. I found this very educational. You have a really nice voice to listen to and you explain things very well

Let's hope the owner has decided to use a different farrier and that they aren't just neglecting the horse. It infuriates me that people can be so uncaring of an animal who's life is in their hands! That sweet boy deserves a good chance at life and I really hope he's getting it.

It's so great that you care. Warm regards, Dave UK

WOW. Watched p1 3 times. Awesome job mate.

Hi new to this but real impressed with your professionalism and caring and very intresting to hear how farriers look to aid the horses well being in ways i didnt know, hope the owner gets back in touch

Caleb. Don't doubt yourself. You are one of the kindest, sweet person I have gotten to like. Animals should not be suffering. The LORD put them in this world so we could enjoy THE Lord didn't want us not to enjoy our pets. Some are companions to us so we won't be lonely. In return we have to take care of them And they are a task. But we love them. THE LORD IS SO WONDERFUL TO US. HE LOVES US SO MUCH..

This poor horse’s feet! You are 100% correct; we don’t deserve horses; they are a blessing and should be treated as such. Maybe the owner finally took your advice and had X-rays done? Maybe this horse’s feet are too far gone and he either put him down or sold him, hopefully not at auction. It’s hard to say. But you did the best you could for what you were allowed to do.

No hoof, no horse. So sad that some people don't know (or care) how important the hoof is.

Beautiful Work ♥️🐎

It's sad that the owners don't care for there horses the way they should be . My dad was always on top of his horses .

GREAT Job you're an absolute Surgeon! Thank You!

I like your handling of horses and your ethics. Big shame you haven’t seen this horse again

There are never bad horses, just bad trainer, and owners in my opinion

Always enjoy your teaching commentary. Thanks

Hoof resembles a smiling Chinese man’s face right there at 2:09 !! 😂

I love the horse posing at the end

Good for you for putting the horse before the owner’s feelings. It just makes no sense, as much as this horses suffered, that he would be allowed to continue to be neglected.

Please Mr. tell the man who owns the horse how much pain he is in. He needs his hooves taken care of. Leave him a message or something. God bless your caring heart

Depending on the state you live in, there may be laws that protect the horse if you think its being neglected (which he is). He could be taken to a rescue who would be willing to work with you, but only if you say something. It's literally your business now.

You are correct.. If we all acted as forgiving as horses and dogs the world wouldn't be in the state it is in today. Laws need to change. Restorative Justice perpetrated by the courts should be relabeled Restorative Enablement. Hold people accountable.

I saw something similar being done with hay on a Friesan horse channel. They steam the hay bags before putting in stall. Hope this horse will receive the correct care it needs.

Check with the local schools to see if a horse loving student would be able to film as a credit for work experience.

I won't even watch those videos! Now I'm glad!!! Nice job Caleb, hopefully the owner will get back to you in the near future.

Wow I can’t believe the deadbeat owner didn’t let you come back! What a jerk! You did a great job, Caleb! I’m sorry that you have to deal with people like that! Love and blessings and lots of prayers!❤

Thank you fie addressing the Asian farriers

Poor baby 😢. ❤

It’s shocking the owner did not get you back to sort out the founder issue with the lovely horse

Your thoughts are so true

Thanks your so informative I really enjoy your videos. I feel bad for this horse also Was this a new owner ? You said he was going to be turned out I guess they aren't going to ride him. Hopefully you will see him again, 5 weeks 😊

Really sad for the horse, the owner didn't keep up with the care for his hoof treatments. Also, get the horse medical treatment. People shouldn't own horses if they won't or can't keep up with the horses needs. 😢

My first horse was a 4h project. Recuse she was a quarter hourse hoofs were pancakes took 6 months to get back to normal. Lot of issues. She was a good horse died 23 years later my life long friend not just my horse and trail rider barrel racer

Sometimes all that has to happen is for a problem horse to be in the area and none of the farriers want to deal with it because the owner is incompetent in training but it's the horse that pays in the end

So sorry to hear he hasn't kept up with the hoof maintenance. Poor horse. I hope he doesn't ride the horse without keeping up the hoof care. I've wanted a horse since I was a child. I could buy one, no problem. However, I won't, because I know I cannot afford the maintenance and upkeep at this time.

I hope you try to reach out one more time. So sad they won’t maintain.

In Uk cars need to be checked once a year. You’d imagine that horses being living creatures would merit the same attention at least.

God bless those hands ...

I have also had the same thoughts about people who own horses. They are so forgiving of people.

Can’t someone report the horse is being abused ! I would think there would be a ton of people who would adopt him 🐴 call me a bleeding heart ❤️ but I am all about the horses welfare and not the owners feelings being hurt ! I believe in stewardship over lordship !

Yeah, I'm really disappointed with the owner here. Such a noble animal deserves better than this horse is recieving.

Caleb, thank you. I learned about laminitis and causes. Don’t worry about the camera. I enjoy whatever you show us. Do you ever have to report the neglect of a horse? God. Bless you.

Just a hour ago I saw one of those videos that you referenced and I commented "is that blood on the knife and stand? 😏

It is SO-OO much easier to prevent founder than to deal with it...

I’d like to see how humans handle abuse as the horse.

Nice work, it is a shame that the owner of this horse has not made another appointment with you. I do agree with you on the videos from some certain countries using the big scary knives to trim the hooves. I think I watched two videos and had the willies so bad from watching how poorly of job they did. Now I just click the “not interested” whenever a suggestion comes up in my YT feed. I want to support deserving farriers that care for the welfare of the animal and take pride in their work.

Report the owner to animal control for neglect and abuse.

Such a shame. He's a cute horse! & perhaps still young? Very sad that they have not had you back.😢

Siete eccellenti in quello che fate, e molto anche quello che é il vostro pensiero. ❤❤❤

When I saw the Asian hoof choppers on KZfaq I was appalled. They called them ‘master’! That was more appalling. Got to thinking about it though; those donkeys had nothing else; never in their lives will they see a real farrier. That’s really sad, but so much of the world is like that😢😢

Its sad when its out of sight out of mind

that's so sad the owners aren't following up. I hope he's ok.

People can let "that" happen for many reasons. Ignorance. Poverty. Emotional instability. ...

3:10 - if owner doesn't care about an animal, in this case horse, he/she should be reported for animal cruelty?! Correct?

People who let their horse's hooves get this bad should have to walk on Legos for hours! 😡

It hurts my heart that the owner is ignoring this horse's hooves. If I did what you do, I would probably be in jail for stealing horses from neglectful jerks like this horse's owner! Good thing I don't have a horse farm.

Any updates? I'm sad the owner didn't follow up on a regular schedule to get these issues taken care of.

It hurts my heart to know that the owner never gave you any call back for help for his hooves.

The owner of this horse shouldn't be. For what ever reason, if they can't manage to keep the horses feet in good condition then they shouldn't have the horse.

Such a shame the owner never followed up

They adapt because they have to .

Are you able to make appointments to revisit the horse so this doesn’t happen again?
