When I had horses they did not need to be shod since they were mostly pets and were not used for hard work. So I regularly just trimmed their hooves. One horse liked it so much he would actually lay down and place his hoof in my lap. Our donkey would fall asleep when I did his hooves, so I had to lean him against a wall. Funniest part was waking him up to turn him around and do the other side. He would promptly fall asleep again! His only flaw was that he hated goats.

Put shoes to your horse is a legacy of horsemanship.

The sheer power of the beast, it's a miracle that Man has managed to tame them and that Farriers do this essential and exhausting work with such skill and patience both on the part of the horse and the farrier

Très bonne vidéo, le maréchal ferrant fait vraiment du très bon travail. Cet éleveur qui travail avec ses chevaux, pour moi , est un vrai passionné et ses chevaux sont bien entretenus. C'est à chaque fois un réel plaisir de regarder ces vidéos.

WORK was had all around!! Big, strong, heavy animal being patient. Tough, enduring, fast, powerful man getting it done. Extremely impressive, all!!

Well done. Nice work. I do love draft horses but my body just won't take working on them anymore. Thank you for sharing. Have a blessed day.

Thanks for this. I liked how much detail of the whole process that you showed. The horse is surprisingly patient.

Ik heb 8 jaar met een hoefstal paard beslagen. Ik snap niet dat het vastzetten van de benen zoveel moeite kost. Dat deed ik bij lichte en zware paarden alleen. Een hoef moet ook niet vlak gebrand maar vlak gekapt worden. Het branden dient alleen maar om te kijken of de gaten van het hoefijzer op de plaatjesrand uitkomen. Als je hard brand verdamt het nodige vocht om de hoef soepel te houden. Succes verder. Jos De Graaf. Docent Kunst- en Siersmeden.

One can save oneself much of the strain and also make it easier for the horse when one properly trains the horses to give their feet. Then brute strength is replaced by the willingness of the horse to cooperate. My horses ( 1050 and 1100 kg) are being shod without a shoeing stock, just cradles to place their feet in and they are relaxed. That being said, this farrier is good.

Yup, training them to pick up their hooves helps. I've cleaned hooves from shetland's to big draft horses of 19hh, all you need to do is properly train them or just lean into them a little bit. This method in the video actually makes it harder and it doesn't help that horses are claustrophobic either.

What is the purpose off placing the hot shoe to the hoof? I know its not hurting the horse just curious

It might be a bit easier if someone taught the horse to pick up his own feet. I've shod a lot of drafts. They all picked up their own feet simply by squeezing the tendons. Then they were taught to rest their feet on a hoof cradle so no stocks were needed.

Does this whole process hurt te horse

What beautiful animals. Fifty thousand years in breeding.

When you take the horses shoe and heat it up very hot like that, are you actually fitting the shoe by virtue of melting the heal into a good fit so it doesn't hurt his feet over time?🧡🧡🧡🧡

guess im jst a bit in shocked yet still intrigued to learn something new...being around horses all my life, this type of horse in a stand farrier is different. I'm used to the blacksmith who picks up the horses hoof and holds it between the legs and does the work. have they ever tried without the stand?
