Didn’t even know what a farrier was, now I’m hooked on this. With my messed up toenails from disease I need a farrier not a manicurist.

I really appreciate the skill and knowledge of hoof anatomy required to be a good farrier the real question is how does your back manage to hold up it would kill me to bend like that

It doesn’t! My uncle recently retired from farrier work in his 40’s as he’s now having regular steroid injections into his back for that reason. There’s ways to mitigate the effects, but it still can’t ever be denied that it is hard on your body

It's amazing how well those horses tolerate that process.

Gary from Texas, here, grew up around horses and cattle, it still amazes me to watch a farrier work his/her trade. I also remember the smell when they would burn-fit a shoe onto the hoof... a cool video! Thank you!

I am so glad to see that you wrapped up the feather while you were working on the horse. As the owner of an Irish Cob, I had a very hard time getting my farrier to understand that he needed to wrap the feather in order to do a proper trim job on my boy.

Man: Hammering the hoof with big nails Horse: This hay is delicious

I have two questions for you guys. 1. What does the frog feel like. You can tell it's a different material than the rest of the hoof but you can't extrapolate what its texture is like or, how squishy it really or how flexible the trimmings are. Question 2. Why don't you use a hoof stand?

@LilLoo226

Жыл бұрын

1. The frog feels like cartilage, only thicker. You can bend a slice of it. It has a smooth texture when cut. It's not squishy, but it has an interesting smell (not stinky). 2. Farriers often don't use stands until they get to the front and top of the hoof (rasping the front for proper axis) --- after they've trimmed the underneath (frog, sole [on this horse, the sole is the white colored, flakey stuff he's trimming with the nippers and knife] and wall of the hoof). He did use a stand when he got to that part of the trim later in the video. P.S. Dogs love to hang around when horses get trimmed...they love to chew on the hoof and frog trimmings. Snack time!

A man who takes pride in his craft will never lack for employment. You must be very well respected by your peers.

watching you trim a frog is one of the most satisfying things i've ever witnessed

Compared to the guy I watched who trims the cow's hooves you have an extremely low-tech approach. He has an $80,000 machine that holds the cows and grabs the foot and brings it up oh, you just put it between your legs. I am surprised the horse doesn't kick the chit out of you though

I'm genuinely impressed by the dedication to your craft. If this work wasn't satisfying enough as is, please know that it is quite intriguing. I am especially interested with your portion of video relating to cleaning up the nail job, I've never seen a farrier record themselves folding the nail into the wall of the hoof like that. Genuinely good stuff!

This is so satisfying, I never get tired of watching this. As a bona-fide horse lover, I appreciate the work this farrier..and all farrier's do A very essential & admirable job 🐴🤠❤

I’m always astonished at how calm the horses are…

One of the best horse shoeing display iv seen no talking straight into it i also learned from it thank you

I can just picture that horse strutting around showing off his new shoes. Feeling like a prized race horse. 🏆🐎 😂

I haven't seen a farrier work in years and I honestly forgot how satisfying it is :0

If his videos aren't some of the best ASMR then I have no idea what is.

They put the cows in a crush that lifts up the entire animal and ties the legs firmly so the cow cant move. This way he stands behind it upright being able to use both hands with the grinder. I dont know any horses that would agree to such treatment, they tend to be claustrophobic. Usually, a horse will need more frequent trims than they do cows, meaning there is less growth to remove, so a grinder would remove to much hoof too fast.

Great looking job! Very hard and dry sole by the look of it! I wondered why on the finished hoof that there was a red band now going all round the hoof where the new clenches have been set? Bruising? Thanks.

Bruh im addicted to your videos. Btw is your back okay?

What is the brown thing you rub on the horse hoof at the end of this video and what is it for? Is it just to make the hoof shiny like when you get a manicure and your nails get polished?

I’m just curious as to why only one bracket, if you will was on the shoe in the front opposed to the side

Can the horses hooves get a fissure straight down the middle of its grooves if not given some extra space to grow? I would think with the thousands of lbs of pressure weighing down against it, and it’s growth would cause it to crack if not given some extra space, or it being so flush is how it’s supposed to be? Just a question, love the video. 🙏🏻 🐴 ❤️

I'm not a farrier, but I think it's to provide good air flow so that moisture don't get trapped. Depending on the environment the horse lives in, that may be a factor if the frog gets trimmed or not.

How do you know the shoe is level...not causing the leg to either pronate or supinate

Hoofs the size like dinner plates.

Gonna need some new trimmers soon. Seen them start breaking on people, and the trimmings looked similar. Having to fight so much to get small chunks out is the tell.

Why is the hot shoe put to the hoof? Is it to check if the hoof is level? Is it a kind of "blueprint" to know where to tack? I've heard someone a long time ago say that's to "seal" the hoof (I have no idea what they were talking about... I thought the ending bit was sealing...?) Anyways... Please be kind, I saw this being done when i was a kid and I wanted to ask questions but there was a language barrier 😭

On average every 6 weeks. Some hoofs grow faster = more like 4 weeks. Some grow slower = more like 8 weeks.
