I'm guessing he has a better owner now. The one paying the farrier.

Owner my a$$, sadist

Horse is likely a rescue and in the hands of someone who cares now

​@@platedlizard One can hope

@@platedlizardI really hope so. 🙏🏻

Agree

I agree

because what kind of _meat by products'_ do you think is in *allllll* these dog food cans that are on every shelf in every city of every state? Haha....wake up hun.

​@@CRoo-zu5ijwhat a stupid answer, my friend

This IS criminal negligence in many countries. Not sure it isn't in the US.

This would what I’d love to watch is a part 2 follow up on the amazing horse now …to see him at ease eating feeding on grass at the end was so uplifting ,,, thank you for a superb job

What is red color in the hooves?

@BradfordChristianNeilBongao. He said it was blood. 😞

​@@BradfordChristianNeilBongao depends on what part of the video you're asking about. 3:09, it's paint coming off from the new reciprocating saw blade. At 8:04, he explains that he hit a blood pocket due to the deformity of the hoof making it difficult to identify where everything is. 😢

@@BradfordChristianNeilBongao It is paint from the new reciprocal blade he was using. He explained it in the first part of the video. It was NOT blood. He explained toward the end of the trim there was a bit of blood on his nippers from hitting a blood pocket.

Dude if you can't afford it, sell your horses and your farm. Don't make your horses suffer because of your miscalculation on what you can financially handle.

​@@youtube-venturaso true

Same situation here. 4,000 to treat Lyme. Get the check book out!

@youtube-ventura You suffer from a lack of comprehension skills. The poster clearly states that he and his wife have the money to fund their little farm. He wrote only to share the fact that people get horses without knowing how expensive it is and he shared some examples. Then you barge in accusing him of being a dirt-broke animal abuser, all because you can not comprehend reading. Go back to school and try again. Meanwhile, quite commenting and showing the world how pathetic your skills are.

​@TWay-yf5zm You're agreeing with a fool. Go back to the poster's comment and find where he says he and his wife CAN'T afford their farm...go on. What you'll find is a man saying they were financially prepared to afford their hobby farm and horses. He did a good service by listing some real costs they pay that people need to be aware of. youtube-ventura did NOT understand a word the man clearly wrote. Then YOU come along like a backwoods bobble-head UH HUH UH HUH AYUCK YUCK YUCK DATS RIGHT! I hope you're at least intelligent enough to be embarrassed and delete your comment to ventura so the nonsense isn't there for all time.

I'LL 2ND THAT!

I felt the same way! I was cringing so many times throughout this procedure, I do hope his owners take better care of him.

I am also thankful that he was able to give a tranquilizer to the horse. Not all states allow that.

All states allow it, but in most you must be a veterinarian to administer a sedative other than ace.

@@ImogenC-rt3fm or the owner won't pay for it.....cheap.

thanks for the information. We can never know the story behind a neglected horse. it's pointless to assume. What we can do to help them is support your channel.

You have an enormous amount of compassion to do this 💖💖

I understand your point of view….but don’t you feel a sense of duty for the horses welfare? The poor horse needs to be fed and looked after properly.

Wonderful, sensitive work. So what you’re saying is that this horse is going back to the same owner? He’s not a rescue? What a shame.

​@@michellen1125... he just explained it! Duh

Did you ever stop to think that so eone just purchased this horse and is determined to undo his previous neglect?

@@terrywereb7639 no because the farrier clearly states elsewhere in the comments that this is not a recent rescue and the people who let the horse get this way are his current owners. He does these at a low cost in the hopes that people will bring in the horses more often.

My sentiments as well

My hope is the owner was reported. That was painful to watch - that poor horse.

Is that why it didn't have shoes?

The owners don't deserve him.

That is what I was thinking. That has to be extremely painful. Poor horse.

yeah, better than the neglectful owner selling him to slaughter, ain'it?

@@kelperdude He's a rescue.

That horse will never be right.... the legs are bent and deformed. He's better off, by far. But I can't imagine he will be sound enough to use. Ever.

Yes I enjoyed that too. Just a great informational video.

I literally can't comprehend watching an animal under my care suffer like this ...ESPECIALLY with horses. Horse "people" almost always line up to help by the dozens whenever I ever come across a horse needing rescue (deal w cats/dogs) so all this owner had to do was care ...even a little bit

@@kmaezz I once rescued a 25 year old pony that was skin and bones. She was at a riding stable and she was kept in with at least 20 other horses in the "cheap" pasture which was mostly dust. She had to fight for her food and didn't win very often because she had bite wounds all over. I had gone with my friend who was looking at some of the riding horses for sale. The manager asked if we would be interested in a "Free Pony". I immediately went home and got my truck and trailer. First thing in the morning I called a vet. She had super bad teeth, a severe case of sand colic with horrible diarrhea. Teeth floated, treated the colic (she pooped nothing but sand for 2 days) special diet of alfalfa pellets and dressed her wounds. She made a full recovery and lived another year, happy and healthy.

Owner should be arrested

That’s a good way to look at it. It’s easy to judge, but braver to move forward like these farriers are doing. Nice to see the horses getting help.

I choose to tell myself that these are the stories of horses owned by someone who died. In the months of hospital stays and funeral arrangements and divvying up property and possessions, the family remembers to feed the horse... but it takes all that time for the non-horse people to look at the poor boy's feet and ask, "are hooves supposed to look like that?" And then it takes them a while to find someone that can help.

​@adde9506 that's usually how it goes in cases this severe

​@Ksweetpea I really hope so because that's a sad state to find an animal in.

@@adde9506Might be a good time to remind folks that if you have pets of any kind, make sure you have arrangements made if something happens to you.. so your loved pets have a home and proper care right away.. ❤

It takes at least two years for hooves to overgrown so much, this family must've take care of horse for quite a long time

For me, something like this is a matter for the police. After all, neglect of such a degree, it is abuse of the See how the horse politely stood knowing that he would be cured

100% what I was about to ask and say, so @adde9506 well said!

I couldn't understand why the horse wasn't gotten horseshoes

@@YAVUZ8847the horse is probably not doing anything that requires it has shoes, and with everything going on with its hind feet it makes me wonder if it may not be possible to safely shoe those at this point.

@@YAVUZ8847 If the owner couldn't manage a trim every 8 - 10 weeks, they certainly aren't going to do shoes every 6 weeks.

Shoes would get in the way.

Dude he is zonked out of his noggin

Horse was drugged he said.

@@tjn8844 Horse got a nice day at the spa but no aspirin for that hangover! hahahaha!
