Some have asked if this is an older upload because of the nice weather. This was filmed today. We are down in Mexico putting on some clinics. Sunny and 75 with some great farriers from Mexico! Thanks for watching!

Love it that you build the shoe from scratch, and teach the students all the elements of a farrier.

I will agree. Nice job. ❤❤

As an equestrian with a huge interest in all parts of caring for horses, I love seeing you build horseshoes from scratch. I feel like it's very much an art and a science. It's nice to see such great feet!

Beautiful job from start to finish. It is pretty obvious from your channel name that you are a school---a teaching facility. You SHOULD be showing shoeing from scratch for goodness sake! I would love to see a follow up on this horse and the frog prolapse.

We are hopeful to see some good heel growth! Keep you guys in the loop!

Building your own shoe is an art that needs to come back!!

You're so awesome, what you do for horses. Coincidentally, I just mentioned your channel to an acquaintance of mine, yesterday at the food co-op, because they mentioned their friend who's new rescue horse was foundered. I always find your videos fascinating, and I hadn't seen you upload in a while. One of my dream professions but I don't think I'm physically strong enough at present.

Thank you! My wife and I are a 2 person team and it sometime takes a miracle for the schedules to line up with our kids to film and upload. Thanks so much for supporting us!

Wish farriers like you had been around when I was showing my "winging" mare! LOL I would rather pay for hand made over pre fab ones. Keep up the excellent work! Videos are getting more professional.

Wow that horse was so patient and trusting, he barely moved at all. Nearly forgot you were working on a living animal lol

Building the custom shoe is a lost art that nobody wants to do or learn about. Keep up the original blacksmith ways thats been done for thousands of years before mass produced shoes. Never let that tradition die. Excellent work.

It might be the hard way, it might be the time consuming way, but it's the way of art and of a real craftsman. I absolutely love watching your videos and seeing you build all those horseshoes from scratch. I've had my own horse for over almost 15 years now and never once saw a farrier around here make a horseshoe from scratch...

I enjoy your videos so much, love watching you make the horse shoe from scratch, just incredible, you really are a master of your craft, thank you for posting, and you lost your beard! Take care.👍💙🐎

I LOVE watching all your videos! It's great to see old skills being used when so much of the world is under threat by A.I.

It's always nice to see you posting! Great job!👍👍👍🐴🐴🐴

I love the work you do. This was such a lovely result. I feel for you bending over all the time. Your poor back!

These videos are very relaxing while being informative.

If you don't make lots of shoes, you won't have the skills to make a shoe from scratch when you need to. And I've never known a farrier who could build a shoe from scratch that didn't make the occasional tool or objet d'art as needed or just for fun, either. My farrier made me a lovely standing lamp for my first marriage and I made sure to claim it when we divorced, 17 years later. Paul is gone now but I will have this wonderful memento of him and all the horses he shoed for me until I am gone myself.

YAY! I love your videos the most and was just thinking today “hmm, I hope he puts another video out soon!”. Thanks!

This horse certainly has a stretched out frog, but a prolapsed frog is a new one for me.

You are the best! You take your time. You think about what the horse needs! Thank you for all you do! I wish you lived in Georgia. "Be Safe"

I love how you work to these horses have a better life ❤😊

So good to see a new video!!! Always a joy and learning experience!! Bridge

Loved this channel from the first time I found it. ❤

When I was a kid, I wasn’t convinced pulling shoes, trimming, nailing shoes didn’t hurt the horses and ponies.! I was probably 12 before I was totally convinced. Funny to remember this!

You have my respect! Such a difficult physical job even if you aren't shoeing. Thankfully mine are all barefoot

Finally another video from you. Need more

Thanks for the video, It's always nice to see you posting! Great job! Please, please, please do a follow-up video.

I'd love to see a follow-up video of this horse. ❤

Wow. If I ever need my frog supported I know where to go. ..

I love horses and I respect you from Japan!

Beautiful work , always a pleasure to watch your videos.

Dobrá práce jseš jednicka některý koně jsou v strašným stavu koně i pláčou hrozný měj se krásně a hlavně zdraví Česko Michal 🇨🇿😎🤞🦊🐴🐴

Congratulations on your excellent work

Thank you for sharing your knowledge & teaching. ❤❤❤

Love from HARYANA (India)

A: Love watching you guys' hammer skills! B: It takes skills to be a good farrier! If they don't know how to do without shortcuts and technology, I wouldn't have them do my critters! C: You guys are a school! Like any GOOD school your students should be getting the best education possible! I am pretty sure that culinary schools still start their students with one-handed egg opening and basic knofe skills! Don't worry about keyboard experts: They are not there! And if they are farriers, or call them self such, and don't know why you teach that way... Maybe they shouldn't be farriers and sure as hell not Instructors!

Horses need arch support to I see.

Is this something you did just for one hoof, or was it on both fronts or all four?

@@idahohorseshoeingschool Great job. I am always impressed by your skills!

X-ray it to see the grade of npa, correct that as much as possible by trimming, than use wedgepads to support the rest. Just by eye U can almost be sure that there is npa going on, and that is why the heels are bad

I don’t think I’ve ever seen a horse shod with a saddle on. Does anyone know a reason besides, we got places to be right meow?

@@idahohorseshoeingschool gotcha. thanks for the response. I'm not a farrier and don't intend on training to be one. But I love horses and your channel has taught me a lot about how to bettter care for my horses. thank you!

Can someone explain what the purpose of the brush he hit against the finished shoe is? Just curious.

Is the charge more for a farrier making the shoe vs using cookie cutter shoes already made a lot use?

@idahohorseshoeingschool

It usually comes down to time invested. This shoe can be built much faster with a factory shoe and a mig welder. It would probably be an extra $50-100 added to a regular shoe job for this modification! Thanks!

Is that approx. equal parts dental material?

You did a great job on that horse shoe.

Is this an older video and/or filmed offsite? It looks warm outside, Riley has no beard, and that's obviously a portable forge.

OK, cool. Also, I've seen you build heart bar shoes in other videos but never with frog support that long.

hello I am a video producer in Japan. Your videos are very fascinating and I really enjoy watching them. Now, getting to the main topic, I would like to introduce your video to everyone in Japan. If you'd like, please let me introduce your video to everyone in Japan. I am not yet able to post on this channel, but I plan to post more and more in the future. Thank you for your support 🙇

If i have a sore foot then pressure from a shoe is painful .

First I’m watching a ginger colour horse then at the end it’s a black horse? Then back to a ginger

Not sure what you are seeing but we moved my horse out while I was building the shoe and a student was shoeing a different one while I was forging.

This is a chestnut with bay (maybe black) socks. I'm going to go with bay socks. I've never seen a chestnut with black socks.

Dont know why this career has to keep standing and bending all the time, so exhausted 😢
