I'd love to see the return visit- I'm really curious how this repair process is going to continue

I hope whoever owned and so badly neglected that horse is never allowed control over another animal. I’m glad you were able to help heal what must have been an uncomfortable, even painful feet. Horses should be able to run free and easy. Amazing to watch you working a rod into a customized horseshoe. I’m glad you’re teaching others to do it.

I'm in the UK and I think it is very uncommon to see the level of neglect that some of the horses you treat have suffered. You do a great job for them. I see this horse has a very swollen knee too. I hope he makes a good recovery and is now well cared for and having a peaceful life. You do a great job.

The US does not have uniform animal codes like I have read the UK has. The laws themselves and the enforcement are at the county level, and if an area is poor, there may not even be enough welfare officers to visit an area or a refuge to take sick horses to. Animals can really suffer, because the law sees them as property. It is quite sad. In addition, people in the US can suffer poverty unexpectedly and be unable to meet their own needs for food or medical, and then their animals suffer. I'm not saying which country is better, it's just different.

The way the horse picks up his foot and tries to put it down at the tip of his hoof is a testament to how poorly he was walking before. Combined with the rolled under heel and the flare, it looks like he had something that was causing him pain at the posterior of the hoof and caused him to walk on tiptoe. Hopefully the trim combined with the high shoe gets him back to a normal gait.

The "before/after" shots are always remarkable.

Looked like a lot of neglect too me. I sure hope the owner keeps a good eye on this hoof. You did a great job in helping this beautiful horse.❤

Not a lot of neglect to my eyes, just a sore hoof. Hooves grow about as fast as fingernails (because they're ultimately the same structure) and that looks like a only few weeks of bad walking to me. You'd be surprised how quickly a sore heel turns into a completely malformed coffin bone.

I have 2 horses and they get trimmed and shod every 6-8 weeks. This is most definitely months and months of growth and poor to no farrier work. Proper consistent trimming would have managed this hoof before it got this deformed and over grown. In reality it needs radiographs to determine where the inner structure of the hoof is. This farrier is excellent and carefully trimmed and rebuilt this foot.

@@mackenzieroof8969 6th April 2023: I agree with you referring radiographs. But trimmers who don`t have the proper tools for trimming and shoeing at their disposal and who try to trim hooves by means of two tools only (one of them is dangerous) don`t think to spend money for radiographs resp. have more serious problems in their lives. I don't want to excuse this type of caring for hooves - quite on the contrary: The donkeys suffer all their lives (intervals far too long) and that's not likely to change by the next generation - despite the internet! To this day, I don`t know if the people from the Near, Middle or Far East could read and respond to our English KZread comments if they wanted to. In any case, they have not yet entered the discussion or reacted to my comments.

My goodness, I've never seen a horse hoof do that before. I bet he's feeling better already.

Like to see update on this guy,please

Great work sir, as always! But i have a question, do you not need to fix that cracks on the outside of the hoof? I saw you do on another hoof but here not, an explaination would be nice.

I could watch this man work all day. He’s so knowledgeable, explains what he’s doing and why and is well spoken. Great videos.

Huge change after such neglect. Thank you for sharing.🐴

Looking at the horse's knee on the other front leg..wow he's got some lumps and bumps..poor old thing 🥰🤗 you did a brilliant job on his hoof 😊🤗

Every time I hear you say "I don't think we'll get back to normal", I always know you're gonna get it back to normal. This is impressive work that I've never seen or understood before. I always thought horses were low-maintenance. The fact that they need so much help makes me want to take a back seat on rescuing dogs and start learning horses.

But the 'after' hoof isn't normal. It is greatly improved and, if the owner keeps up with regularly scheduled trims, may become even closer to normal, but that degree of rotated coffin bone is never going to rotate back into the normal position. In essence, the horse is being forced to stand with the tip of his 'toe bone" inside the hoof pointed straight down into the ground rather than the flat side of the bone parallel to the ground. Hooves are not designed to function that way and that horse will always be extremely vulnerable to injury, pain, arthritis, tendonitis and laminitis. A good farrier and vet working together on good hoof trims and correct nutrition will be able to get that hoof to the point where that horse will be okay to live a life as a pasture pet--no riding, no vigorous exercise, no extensive moving over hard surfaces. He may even get sound enough to be a kid's pet, sound enough to give small children (under 50 pounds or so) very short lead line rides on soft surfaces of less than 5 to 10 minutes a few times a week. There's a place in the world for pasture pet horses. Horses are not meant to be kept alone, so a family that has only one working horse would do well to get a free or very inexpensive pasture pet to be the working horse's companion. If this horse has a calm temperament, there's always a place for someone who is raising young stock to have an older horse to show the younger ones how to behave, give them an example of how to react, reassure the young ones in new situations, etc. Anywhere there are large predators, it's prudent to keep at least 6 to 8 horses as a herd to make it more difficult for a large predator to single out one horse to take down (mixing some mules into the herd is also a good idea). Or he may just be someone's beloved pasture ornament, kept because he's lovable and they care about him. In which case, I hope they get him another pasture pet to keep him company because horses should not be kept alone.

WOW!! Amazing work!!!

Beautiful work as always. May I ask? Will those cracks in the hooves eventually grow out, or will they always be present?

We shoe or trim around 20 head a day. These are simply the out of the ordinary cases that come through our barn. They are definitely in the minority of all the work we do which is why we don’t have a new video daily. We just film them when they come in.

Just an unproven idea but I think when so many horses are trusting the history they have had with these farriers, the vibe or calm pheromones spread to the other horses. A herd follows the leaders and this is a big enough barn the horses have enough bodies present(usually) to be that temporary herd. Once a horse has been in this barn with the core group of farriers they remember kind treatment. Also the barn has kids and dogs and puppies and sometimes chickens watching the show. Horses know it is a safe space for them as well. Just the observations of an amateur who admires this facility and the farriers they send out into the world for the betterment of equine civilization.

How does such a beautiful horse get feet that neglected? The result was great tho you are so talented! Your shoes come out so symmetrical and beautiful man …….

Great work, I’ve seen them flare out but never grow under. The hoof was very upright could it be slightly clubbed, as I noticed the left hoof was flared out too.

Considering how deformed it looked, you did an awesome job.👍😍

Got a horsey story for you ~ Was riding a horse up a narrow track thru a hole in the fence when I'd let him get close to a spike on the rail, then he brushed it and must've thought it was giddy-up, he accelerated like a racehorse to dump me head first into another fence... Without thinking I'd jumped to my feet and gave him a solid right cross in the snout but hoses are solid, he didn't bat an eyelid tho from that time wouldn't come within 100 feet of me for any reason ~ Told a Maori girl, a girl into the deep spiritual stuff, about what happened and a few weeks later there we were, sunny day, sitting smoking some weed and chilling with my eyes closed when, 'WHACK ~ FLAT ON MY BACK' ~ The horse had silently come up to me while she was singing her Maori song to the ancestors to knock me flat on my back, but, no impact, that beautiful powerful animal easily asserted itself but stood there looking at me without expression ~ Thing that struck me was the force it delivered without any impact ~ Well after that it began to let me get close to it again, it had re-asserted it's natural primacy and ever since, I've been a sook for horses...

Nice job.
