Ah yes, science. Gross gross science..

This is fascinating. I hadn't appreciated how deep and destructive the condition can be until seeing this dissection. The transformation of firm tissue into flabby mush is incredible. The structure of the normal hoof with its layers, fibres and protective capsule, seem to be a perfect place to nurture this awful condition. Is there some kind of grading system or criteria that enables vets and farriers to know whether a hoof is recoverable? Or do you just start treatment and see how recovery goes?

I dont like the result at all. The horse has way to low heels and the toe will wander off forward in a heart beat. The shoes must be more backed. Toe shortened. Pretty work, but not for making any change.

Where did you get the induction heater ?

I've toyed with the idea. Heat is heat but is it practical on the job because you'll either need a generator or convince the client that it's not power thirsty. I have trouble asking clients to borrow a gas cylinder if I accidentally run out.

Waaaw Amazing 💪🏻👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

Heart bar, pad dem material? Any thoughts?

Outstanding tutorial. Thankyou Dr Curtis

Is there a situation where by you would not cut out the back - thanks

Feeling ill but interested in biology and medicine at the same tine

What a Godsend you were, thank you.

Hoooooo 😮‍💨😄

That was a nasty hangnail.

Hi there! In my latest short I made I found a bone and asked if anyone knew what animal it came from, I was wondering if you knew? Because you seem interested in them?

DSC Rocks!

Hi simon curti iam farriery student rajastan india

Thank you Dr Curtis. This is a very helpful view of the anatomy of the hoof.

Pobres animales cuando les cortas sus unas me dan tanto nervio. No puedo me estreso con solo verlos pieso que en algun momento se lo van a llevar un pedaso de piel

To smart for me to handle tbh

What of Stubbs?

Had 5or 6 clinics with these 2 old farriers. Amazing men.

Wow Dr. Cutis, I'm surprised yall let Murray wear that New York Yankees cap! Haha BTW, responding from Texas. ;)

Jim, the master at work! Wish I could have been his apprentice!!

You have the absolute best farrier and anatomy videos I’ve watched, I just love watching and learn so much !! Thanks for making them!

Fascinating ! great information, Thank you.

Thanks for sharing this. The damage is quite remarkable. The little fingers of material within the diseased tissue looked a little like eponychium on the video, any similarity up close?

Esas patas con cancer de ranilla es de un caballo q murio de esa enfermedad

Complimenti Maestro....dall italia spiegazione ottima ....il vostro libro....l ultimo....versione italiana.....mi piacerebbe saluti

What a beautiful talented woman . What a joy ! ❤

That’s impressive. Hope you have a video of months later to see if the heel grew.

Great demonstration. What size and legnth of stock did you start with? You mention using steel for the front shoes and iron for the back shoes. By iron, do you mean wrought iron?

So interesting

Love watching these guys. Thank you for sharing. Wish I could spend time with them. So much to learn. Thanks again

Great job! Thanks for a clear explanation. Show shoes that actually fit the foot without all the excessive flared hoof wall(flare). Thanks for covering the entire hoof wall on the hinds, which is seldom done in North America with “Scotch Bottom” shoes.

I draw horses and can paint them too. No where close to recognition though 😢 wouldn't know how to start that process

love this channel!!

Yeah

I volunteer at this museum. I’m a apprentice for blacksmith and once in a while, people visit and more people do visit all the time hopefully but when I come, sometimes will tell my story when this guy came and he saw the blacksmith who is Volunteer blacksmith not really a blacksmith and his son hitting with a sledgehammer. I wasn’t there for us, but I don’t even think I was born yet but he’s like are used to do that. I can’t do that with y’all and his wife was getting mad at him but he did it and they said it was just exactly what you were supposed to do with a twin search hammer. They hit the same spot as hard as they hit it and they were just so amazed that he knew what he was doing. He must work for a steel mill in Pennsylvania. I’ve heard the story at least three times.

Thanks for sharing you knowledge and experience

Say mate, are you injured on your finger? Just a scratch! Lol

Great video. Skill and efficiency. Doesn't get any better. Suggestion; put sme magnets on that anvil and save your hearing. It's as beautiful a London pattern anvil as I've ever seen but damn that sucker is loud!

I would like to see you put these shoes you make fitted onto a horse please.

I hope that has a better prognosis than it looks.

Doctors use an oscillating tool to cut casts I believe and dewalt has a cordless version if you think a horse would stand for it

Incredible, Life

I thought about infection and that’s why I wondered y\why you wouldn’t clean with iodine or something like that.

Is there a reason the bars weren't trimmed back as well? Or did we just not see it happen in the edit? They look underrun and laid over too, and they'll just keep pulling the heels under if they're not also taken back.

I just attended the World Heavy Horseshoeing Championship in Brandon, Manitoba, Canada. Unbelievable skill.

Hi, great video...any chance you could advise where the growth plate is in a distal phalanx? Thank you

I use a micro drill to clean out the area before repairing the cracks. This eliminates a fair bit of the damaged area as well as clean out the microbes that might cause infection.
