How to save time: Step 1.) Have an apprentice to do half the work

Wish my wife valued 30 seconds as much as this man does

As a former farriers hand, he did the right thing, time isn't only essential for you but if you do you're job fast folks will have you come back.

Are we gonna ignore how long my dude held that squat 😂

Huge respect for these guys, hard work and keeping this practice alive in the modern world.

Wtf bro, you're sitting on air

I save millions of hours by letting someone else do it. With all the free time I have I can make stupid comments on KZfaq vids.

Welcome to today's episode of "I'm never gonna use this, but it sure is cool"

Cool! I haven't watched a farrier in decades, but I still remember each of them wrenching the shoes off and bending them.

Even bigger, saving that time IS saving your back😁

You wanna know what’s wrong with this guy’s strategy…not a damn thing. That’s how he shoes horses. I’ve shod horses for a long time and I don’t do it like the next guy. Is he wrong, no just different. These damn key board warriors make stupid comments. Let me tell you, those are the guys you don’t want shoeing your horses. It doesn’t matter how long it takes to shoe a horse. I have seen top quality work in 25 minutes, and I have seen trash in an hour. What’s a good farrier?? He shows up on time. Horses stay sound. Shoes stay on. It’s not brain surgery.

Good job looks like those nails were kinda hard to get out. Good morning to you all and keep up the great work.

Very well trained horse.

Bruh I can only imagine how good they used to be at this in the 1700s and 1800s

Now I know what chaps are for

It also helps prevent damage to the hoof wall from what I have learned

The strength in those quads tho

Any man who can figure how to save time like that is a good man.

When I was 13, I spent my summer @ Saratoga Springs; loved watching the horses getting shoed.

Nail pullers are a godsend especially as someone with terrible hands lol it takes me so long to pull shoes

these types of video are on another level of satisfying for no reason, amazing work

Hoof cutting is the most satisfying thing ever

Ah yes, 10 plus horses a day. With help from my wrench and clench wench.

Horses are amazing. The way they can have somebody wrenching on their shoes like that without a car in the world is crazy

Where have all the real men gone? Hats off to you for carrying on this wonderful trade! Bless you.

A man who LOVES what he does

Idk why all these country-ranch living videos are poppin up on my feed but it’s making me jealous that I grew up in a city-suburb. This seems like such a beautiful way of life…animals, lots of land and nature, peace and quite….no worries of fashion, money status, etc….I love it makes me want to live in the country

Watching this gives me nostalgia

So all I need is another person to do half the work and I'll save myself time. Genius!!!

I learned more from my Farrier about my horse (Egyptian Arabian), than all the books, instructors and programs I could've found anywhere... even Google!

Thank you for not throwing the nails in the grass! ❤️ From a landscaper... please tell any masonry workers who throw concrete 😖

I love watching the ferrier hotshoe! 🔥 Great vid.

I love country folks 🤩 y'all go the extra mile to save time for mosey-ing & that slow talkin drawl!

Yeah, that's great and all, but I have no idea what you're saying

For 20 minutes.. maaan I'll just take my time and bond with the horse

Spend the extra 20 mins making sure you've done a good job... qulity over quantity

Why do I feel so excited to see an actual ‘cowboy’ or at least kinda close..😂👌

Thanks for the help

So that’s what that thing in my garage is for

Had a good hoof bar going

I just wanna say this everybody thinks that this hurts the horse the horse is loving this

I worked with a farrier who would shod 54 horses in a day he had technique and style his name was Horace Toousan and worked at delta downs track in Louisiana, afterwards he sold rice hulls for stall bedding.

It's not about doing it fast. It's about doing it RIGHT.

Lmao “my apprentice”, stop the cap you know your the gato 😂

Anyone else just looking for that one guy who’s gonna go “omg your so mean for hurting these horses🙄🙄”

Amazing

I feel like this video is for people already familiar I don’t know how or why this saves time

You should teach him how to efficiently flatten a shoe

Dude knows what's up. I found a way to save time labelling food containers at work. A few seconds per container times dozens of containers means saving several minutes of prep time. Might not seem like much, but several minutes can feel like a lifetime during a rush.

bro all I can think about is the horse just coming this guy in half a second

I still find it crazy horse shoes are nailed into basically a giant finger nail

A whole 20 minutes!! Ya killing the game lol!!

Do it the way which takes least effort overall - makes sense!

I heard that line of work is hell on the back. Looks like it.

That squat though

It blows my mind horses will let you do this

My back hurts just watching this😅

You should use nail pullers as opposed to what?

I can’t even hold a squat for that long let alone start working doing a squat 😂

I stopped paying attention to him shoeing the horse the moment the camera lifted up to see him. I have seen a lot of people shoeing horses but not many look like him. 😮😊

His fit is crazy 😂😂

Gorgeous

Sometimes I feel that people are far to worried about time and not worried enough about quality.

This guy is a literal cowboy lol

Very good farrier

This would be my job in another life

I know nothing about his..but what else would you have used to pull the nails.. As opposed to nail pullers?

I watch one Rhett and Link video about horse shoes and here we are

What do wild horses do with their hooves? And what do wild sheep do about their hair?

Cool!

Cris i have a question. Aren't the nails punched in a hoo on the top on the hoof? how do you just pull them out?

I got a lot of respect for farriers and their balls of steel…id be terrified handling such a strong beast that can easily cave in my chest

What is the charge per horse? I’ve always wondered what they make. That’s an incredible job to have! 👍🏼

The best way to do it’s clean up after took the shoes off the right way you fired farrier don’t worry about the time just do right

Battle boy spent a lifetime adding that up

Just for your information if this hurt the horse it would kick him, don’t worry about the horse it’s OK, instead worry about the horses that are abused to be raced, edit: or the horses tails that are broken so they stand up straight

What would you use beside a mail puller. For pulling nails

Shew. Now let me first state that the comment I’m about to make isn’t based off of anything I think that’s been done wrong. Anyway, I’ve owned horses since I was 7. The horse I had at 7 was VERY elderly so I only had him 2 years, he was the only horse I’ve owned that NEEDED shoes (navicular and elevation worked best for him). After him, ALL of my horses have just #1 had great feet, & #2 not had steady jobs that preferred shoes. I game but it was for fun and maybe 3-4x a season. The reason I’m bringing all this up is just because it’s been a LONG time since I’ve seen a consistently shod horse and have seen a sole and frog be higher than his walls 😮 (again not hating on shoes , if it’s what keeps your horse sound hey I’ve been there!) just a different sight than I’ve seen in years as I don’t look at horses feet that aren’t mine, while the farriers re shoeing 🤷🏻‍♀️ . But what a difference 😮

I found an easier way for me up knock 20min off my day and that is to go to the bathroom before I leave for work 🙃

Can't believe those are actually nail pullers, thought my boss was crazy and just use a horse shoe puller as a nail puller

do you use the old holes for the nails or do you make new ones?

So do you cut the clinches? Or just rip them them through the hoof?

Meaning the hoof is still flat, not the shoe?? Super nice workmanship BTW Impressed

Boy took us to math class

What do you do with all the time you save each day?

Deus abençoe a todos que zelam pelo bem estar dos animais,muito obrigado pela instrução,Deus lhe retribua com saúde.

The time saving doesn’t apply to this type of work.

Wooooow saving 20 minutes. Soo brilliant

When do you use horse shoes?

readjust your efficiency coefficient to .69 and you could save an adittional buck fitty

How'd horses get by before we started throwing shoes on em?

Go Astros!

How do you become a farrier?

your calfs must be strong as hell

for sure I do the same thing and its better the the hoof

How does one obtain a apprenticeship. What all is needed and how many months/years is the apprenticeship

I love it when people talk about how they save time; whilst they waste time.

How do you know how much to trim off of the frog..?

Did you unclinch those nails before pulling them out?

Just curious do the horse shoes hurt the horse when taking off/putting on?
