@[it’s hazelnut!] Pp p

I sort of laugh in a way. You can tell British farriers are very well experienced with draft horses versus American farriers. You don't have to have some ridiculous contraption/tying feet into place, etc. like almost every American farrier I've had to use with my Gypsy mare. Being British-born (Scots) it's like pulling teeth to get Americans to understand she'd be fine been treated like any other horse just she's bigger.

@Rip Bozo ๐๐ๆไ

y dont you cut the horses foot off while your at it get the bone saw

Excellent' the Horseshoes of Careful work you'

Действительно, работа у вас тяжелая и изнурительная. Не уставайте. Спасибо, что легко помогаете этому благородному животному.

The whole time I was watching that, I kept thinking, "and he still has 3 more hooves to do. What an insane amount of work keeping a horse is."

You mean how much is the job in demand? Sorry, I was confused by your question at first. And then I understood it towards the end.

@Logan Bradford You have to do it every 6-8 weeks. Just depending on your horses hoofs.

@Reposter it depends on what you are doing but its less than you think

tHE OWNER COULD HAVE WASHED THAT HORSES FEET AND FEATHERS AND PICKED OUT ALOT OF THAT DEBRI AND CLEANED HIS HORSE UP. REMEMBER , NO HOOF NO HORSE,

@{Bloop} the outer part of the hoof is made keratin and protein, the same as your fingernails. The horse feels a pressure, but no pain.

for those of you wondering, no. this process doesn’t hurt the horse, it relieves them

Ty

No annoying music, no talking, plenty of info, beautiful shots, masterful work.

It's incredible how deep in the hoof all that dirt gets crammed with those huge horses. Fantastic work! Thanks for letting us watch!

I don't own a horse and I have no plans to buy one but I find this pretty interesting to watch. I'd love to know the names of the tools you're using and the processes you're performing with them. Cheers!

My horse was 31 in 2018 and thus had to be put down due to age related issues. I miss these sounds, just standing and holding the lead while the farrier worked. It's soothing to listen to. And dang that's a big hoof! I had a little tiny Arabian! I'd love to meet a Shire one day though. I've heard they're incredibly gently. And this one is being very good.

Watching an expert craftsman do his honest job is always a joy to the eye.

Well stated...

I’d wish there was some on screen text describing the entire process, for those of us who love horses but are not really knowledgeable about their upkeep like in this video. Awesome work, I feel like the horse is enjoy it.

@Jan W if it hurt the horse then the farrier might not know anything ever again

@Your_local_Weird_kid it does look painful but remember this is a huge horse, if it hurt the farrier would certainly know! A kick from one this size could easily be fatal

@Your_local_Weird_kid think of it as like clipping your nails. That’s basically what this is.

For some reason i feel like the horse is in pain i know they aren’t but still

ok

That's a gorgeous foot. Healthy and well maintained. You are an amazing Farrier! Thank you for sharing.

The ability to do all this from memory on knowing how to fix each hoof so too much isn't taken off to knowing the approx size of the shoe is incredible. No bleeding is interesting.

You are a miracle worker dude!!! I love watching this stuff. I actually feel as good as the animal just watching and knowing they're feeling better and their pain will be alleviated!! Great job dude!! XOXOXOXO. Peace.

This horse has such beautiful hooves. They look like marble, all cleaned up.

Absolutely amazing work, a pleasure to watch. Top job!!

I can’t even imagine the back pain you must feel for bending over for so long haha !! Amazing work I love it 殺

I would like to thank all the farriers around the world 🌎 for taking care of the horses 🐎 donkeys mules etc. god bless you and your family always 🙏I love y’alls videos 👍🏼

Otimo profissional... Lindo trabalho, com qualidade e rapidez... Parabens !!!!

This was a good one…also am I the only one that’s like “oh he missed a spot” then gets really stoked when he goes back and gets that spot?

Same

YES

Me 2 !

Time stamp @palace pizza pls

Uh no, it… it’s not just u

I don’t know how I started watching these videos, but they are so interesting to watch! I don’t know anything about horses and this looks painful but I know people say it isn’t. A few questions if anyone has time to answer them for me. :) 1) How often do horses need this done? 2) What is the soft part that gets cut? That looks painful! 3) Why do they burn the hoof with the shoe? 4) When we see bits of red showing, is that blood? Thank you 😀🐴

1) It really depends on both the horse and the area it lives. For example, if a horse lives majority of it's life on soft grass, or on hard wood, it would differ, the grass needing to be clipped more often then the wood. But if there was a mixture of surfaces (rock, wood, grass etc.), then it would be needed less. 2) The soft part is known as the 'frog', no pain at all. 3) The shoe shape and design is burnt on so that the farrier knows where to clip more or file more, the shoe has to be a perfect fit, and burning the shoe shape on helps to see where needs to be altered or fixed. 4) No, that's just the inside of the hoof, there will usually be no blood, unless there is something (a rock etc.) in the hoof, or the farrier has gone to deep.

@Kevin Roe thank you for the info 😀😀

I believe they put the hot shoe on to help complete the seat where the shoe will sit in order to give a more even uniformed fit and to create a sort of seal as to help keep moisture and debris from getting in between the shoe and hoof creating hoof rot sooner than expected.

@Kiera we get it done every few months on our horses tho

Thank you both for the info 😀

8:30 i love how he uses the horses hoof trimming to keep the hair from falling down lol

I just love watching a master craftsman at his job. The satisfaction he must feel after doing the job he loves must be total pleasure, and the horse must be chuffed to bits as well.

This is so cool, I never knew a horse’s hoof looked like that! Does a horse feel it when you do this?

No they don't feel it it's like a super thick finger nail, they'd only feel it if you made a mistake and went too deep. You'd know if the horse was in pain cuz this guy would have been kicked

Always amazed how the horses just stand still. It must be a relief for them.

@MrSlatheek GD sim

this horse is a blessing most of the time they hate it

@BADSHAH GAMMING 3 another you said…

He/or she is sedated or they catchin some 💤

@Ritik Patel No, it’s like you trimming your fingernails.

Thanks Jake. Sending this from Chugiak (chew gee ack) Alaska USA bless you for all you do to help animals, and your skills are incredible.

Por los vídeos que vi me doy cuenta que no todos trabajan tan bien como este hombre.Hasta ahora no vi a ninguno cuidar la uña también de fuera como aquí.Y recordé los sitios donde me arreglan a mi las uñas que por desgracia me pasa lo mismo ,ay donde te las hacen bien y donde no. Este señor se merece mi respeto.QUE BIEN Y BONITO TRABAJO HACE ❤️😘

That was the first time I've actually watched a horse getting shoed, no clue why the hell it showed up on my feed or why I clicked to watch but it was mesmerizing! and you are savage quick at it dude! How long have you been doing it? I'm surprised the horse was that mellow with a the metallic banging. Very neat stuff.

The horses get this done often so I'd assume they get used to it but I'm sure not all horses are this chill

The horse is so relaxed and its satisfying to watch at the same time

I’ve watched my horses get shod every time for 19 years now by the same farrier…….your work and his are identical…you both are truly a benefit to the horses health

@Shirley Halliday el no cuidar los cascos generan que pisen mal, eso afecta a toda la pata hasta su hombro, arreglar el casco arregla eso

Porque es beneficioso para el caballo?

@K9 Six probably your farrier and he are trained under the same master

@Your local C. Round …probably twin sons from different mothers……

Plot twist theyre the same person

You sir do amazing work and take great pride in it.

I am fascinated by these videos. Amazes me how they can remove so much and it doesn't bother the horse.

Thx for sharing! I'd really love to know more about what you're doing. Also nifty little trick using the trimmings to hold back the hair around the hoof!!

I love your work! that horse must feel much better after getting new shoes. ive always wondered, why do you burn the hoof with the shoe? is it just to make sure its the right size??

How is this so mesmerizing? I’ve never owned a horse. Never even thought about the processing of shoeing a horse or whatever it’s called. Yet I’ve watched two of these videos and been totally fascinated. Great work!

There have been farriers for over 2000 years. As old a craft as it is, as long as humans are here and horses are with us...we will always need them. My fascination is watching the continuation of an ancient skill that's just as relevant and necessary now as it was when it was 1st invented. This is one art, and to me it is an art, a machine will NEVER be able to replace.

Wait till you watch a video of the crows pulling bloated ticks off of the wallabies...

Same here. Why? It makes me nervous and addicted

Same, dude, its so mesmerizing, I can’t stop watching

@Scarlet Gryphon 👍 thanks for the info.

I don’t know what it is about watching skilled labourers that is so innately satisfying. I can watch these vids for hours.

I am still amazed I watched the entirety of this. My body was shivering but I couldn’t stop watching!

Love this stuff! There's always respect for hard work that isn't just crunching a keyboard in a corporate office all day 👍

I always love watching these vids they are so satisfying and they involve my fav animal!

Love the trick you used to hold the horses’s hair outta the way with the ring of hoof you previously cut with the nippers. Also a good reason not to break the ring in two like I’ve seen most other farriers do, it’s also way more satisfying imho. Great job, man 👍🏻 Keep up the nice work 👏🏻

He knows that and yes 💯

Dude is literally the horse equivalent of a nail tech. This is so satisfying to watch.

Surprisingly, I thought that by going into the comments I would find a lot of people who believe that it is very painful for horses, but here on the contrary there are a lot of people who admire this work.🇷🇺

DUDEEEE... what a restoration really insane to see these days its as if people do not take pride in the art anymore ):

you sound like people saying that it was better for black people to live in 1955

does the process hurt them, or is it relieving? does it hurt if their hooves aren't properly treated? I don't know anything about horses and have never owned or been near one before, just curious

E

@KateandBree thank you 😊

No. Hooves are primarily made of keratin, like your fingernails and toenails. They only feel pain if a farrier hits the blood vessels, much like when you hit the quick of your nail. Otherwise, it feels much like when you get a manicure. No pain.

Oh, I love how you used the clippings to restrain the horse hair surrounding its foot. Never seen that before.

Какая непростая и сложная работа, в наше время выглядит как то завораживающе, необходимо и быть немного ветеринаром, и кузнецом, интересно было посмотреть, удачи автору!!!!

Parabéns!!!!!👏👏👏👏(Brasil)

Me, who has never shoed or even ridden a horse in my life: "ah yes, excellent horse shoeing, well done."

Respect + for this guy.

I only own cows but this is a peaceful video and super satisfying to watch good job man the horse must love this

I used to watch more of your videos. But I found this Scottish bloke who works on cows, the hoof gp. And he explains out everything and as soothing as I find your videos....I'll admit I'd like some insight on the how's and why's of stuff like this hoof restoration.

Dunno why, always loved the drafties with their furry feet. Glad to see this ones feet being looked after!

Not going to lie I had no idea what was going on but I feel like anyone that does this takes pride on their craftsmanship.

There's something about your handiwork that is completely ASMR for me that I find relaxing. Fantastic video, brother!

When I get I high I like watching these videos no talking. It's soothing

@S S pretty sure that random thought doesn't actually exist.

Pretty sure ASMR is a figment of people's imagination.

سييييييييييي😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

I live in the city and barely know anything about horses or even seen them except maybe once but this was so fascinating to watch

When forging the shoe, are you looking at or referencing the last clipping for size and shape? It seems like it might be practical.

So satisfying and nice, I love this

Pretty healthy looking foot. One thing I noticed was the heel of the shoe was taking more wear then the toe.

This is an amazing video! :) I didn't know I needed this in my life until now. It is my new way to relax. :D Also, I love how casually he just uses the horses own hoof piece to hold the hair in place. Literally a self made ponytail there. 🤣😂🤣

Also the hair is called feathers and ye amazing, relaxing... cool😉😉😉

The owners actually should already have taped up/back the feathers before the farrier arrives as a courtesy.

Great job! Very impressive.

Are horses normally adapted to this type of treatment? or over time it gets easier the more you do it with them? And do horses know you’re there and get excited to get a hoof trimming?

I'm in no way qualified, but reading from other people commenting under these genre of videos: the horses learn how to behave during theses procedures, usually at the same time as when they learn how to let people clean their hooves. They get accustomed with this, especially when it's a smooth experience. They appreciate it even more when it gets rid of a foot pain (caused by overgrown or cracked hoof preventing them from correct posture and movement). I haven't seen any mentions of the horses being excited by getting their nails done.

DIOS TE BENDIGA! A ti y a tu familia por ayudar a los animalitos!

Watching this in 1.5x speed is the most satisfying thing ever!!

Ikr

Ahhh I love watching Farrier work, so relaxing and soothing, plus it's so satisfying seeing that hoof get all nice and clean 😌

Broo i wish i coyld rate it 10000 but i just can do 10 but he did an amazing job

@Blake Bryder Nothing better than a nice off-white, super healthy frog. I watched a trimming video that was a demonstration of trimming for the Amish and the demo horse had frogs the color of butter and the knife cut through them like warm butter as well. It was the healthiest frog I've ever seen in my life, and I've been riding for 26 years.

I think it’s satisfying just watching him clean the frog.

Yes

I don't know anything about this but it's so satisfying with the cleaning process.

This vid was so satisfying and I haven’t seen a shire in years. I’m new to the channel. #SATISFYING#i love borses

I can smell the imprinting of the horseshoe 🤤 I looooved the smell when the farrier was there!!!!

Watching this makes me feel so calm... He's an artist.

I don't have any idea what's going on but it's still so satisfying to watch 😆

Really fascinating video! Why do the nails go through the hoof fully rather than just using shorter nails and not having to file the ends down etc?

A lot of work goes into this profession..good job.

Amazing to watch, very satisfying

Anyone else reckon the horses love this? Dosed up on sugar cubes, got a tub of carrots to get through, human sorting his new shoes, going for a grass munch later. Life's good. 😎

@Elliott W. i been fantasizing about being a horse too lol

@Baekhyun's voice is an aphrodisiac Thanks for sharing. I learned a thing or two.

@Secret Love Child Maker сттвимчтьсс ббав

@Riley Munkholm if the horse is well trained since birth, it has learned to accept it even if it's not exactly pleasant for most. A horse unfamiliar with the farrier is a real pain in the backside and can be very dangerous too. My old mare has to be sedated every single time the farrier comes because she was not taken care of before I got her in 2019 (she was 20 when I bought her, pregnant and very thin but the worst was her painful flat feet). Since last month, her feet are finally the right size and shape, but it literally took over 2 years of intense monthly care and she doesn't feel pain anymore, she now runs and jumps, but if the farrier arrives before the sedative is in full effect, she still gets wild... I'm traumatized by her violent reactions. When she gave birth, I did not waste time in getting her filly accustomed to people taking and cleaning her feet. Got a black eye once because I was too obsessed with teaching her and she got upset I guess. Now, she's good at giving her feet by a touch or a command, although I'm still working on keeping her foot up for longer periods of time without her squirming away. It's really a teaching process to have them just sit there and let it happen.

Such a good boy, for standing still, I'm sure he will love his new shoes. ty for caring

It gives peace to mind it is very amazing and interesting to do that type of beautiful work

I had never seen such a calm horse while getting his/her hoof done

I guess you’re not watching the proper videos because they’re used to it all horses go through this

Admiro muito seu trabalho

I like to imagine the horse can feel its hooves getting a mani-pedi and it like “I deserved this! 🧖‍♀️”

I love that you put the old clippings around the hair to keep it out of the way :)

You should make a compilation of all the horses you’ve done and do a before and after for all of them

Dang…what a process. Well done

Indeed, your work is hard and exhausting. Don't be tired. Thank you for helping this noble animal easily.
