I don't have a horse. I will never have a horse. But these videos are so cathartic. When you make the animals feel better, it makes me feel better, too.

The horse is visibly much more comfortable by the end of the trim. Thank you so much for doing what you do for these horses!

So relieved...lick, lick, lick.

I've heard of ringbone, and knew it was in the foot, but you explained it so well. I probably appreciate that as much as the horse did the trim!

I love the education that is supplied with these videos. Thank-you for your hard work & dedication to these animals.

I have a lovely throw away amish standardbred gelding with fused high ring bone and arthritis in the coffin joint. He's my amazing trail horse. With help from my amazing farrier and vet, he sound barefoot and on equioxx daily. So glad I pulled him from the kill pen

I also have an Amish throw-away Standardbred gelding. They work them half to death, then dump them at the auctions. Mine has some arthritis in the rear fetlocks, and a heart arrhythmia. With rest, good food, and loving care, he will make a great trail horse. Thank you for saving one!

Anyone else notice the white muzzle investigation while he talked? Lol so cute 🥰

The Paso Fino said “Thank you!”

That looked a LOT more comfortable at the end of your good work!

Excellent and sympathetic work as always.

Brilliant ! I don't have any interest in, or knowledge of horses, but I'm mesmerized by the great work that you do. And I'm sure the horses enjoy it too.

I bought a Paso at a kill sale several years ago. He developed into my favorite ride. One farrier trimmed him with long toes and a short heel, I’ve never been so mad. It took a couple months to get his hooves back into proper Paso shape.

Most Paso finos have those tough hard hooves for sure! I've also noticed a lot that seem to have those low slung heels too.

I love how he was licking and chewing at the end. Great video very interesting

I noticed the kicking and chewing too! I wish I would've known this shoeing technique for high ringbone 9 yrs ago when we had my 17 y/o Haflinger PTS for "the worst case of ringbone my Vet had ever seen". Might've helped him in the early stages.

That hoof looks beautiful! Well done!

Thank you. Do enjoy your teaching videos and the creativity, compassion behind the work.

I love your videos! Thank you for the education and explanations you give❤

No idea why this came up in my feed but it was really interesting.

Greetings from sunny So-Cal, Torrance to be precise. Thank you professor, for the knowledge.

Thank you for sharing this. This horse is going to feel so much better.

Thank you for helping these wonderful animals in need and placing their comfort over the entertainment of your human audience!

Great video, I loved seeing a new technique. 🎉

Excellent work!

The horse looked was thanking you. Good work as always.

Thanks for the good explanation! 👍

Very interesting. I look forward to your videos.

Wonderful! What good and straightforward science.

Very interesting! Thank you.

This channel fascinates me. So helpful ans innovative.

Another great job! I'm sure he will fill so much better. "Be Safe"

Thank you. Even though I have no specific interest I do enjoy watching these types of videos

I hope the horse isn't misdiagnosed, or faces other problems. Ossification isn't arthritis, it's tissue calcification. Surgery makes it worse. Arthritis is a comorbidity of ossification. Animals, including domestic livestock and pets, can have Fibrodysplasia Ossification Progressiva. Heterotopic Ossification can impact anybody without FOP. Either can be mistaken for other conditions like cancer or osteo. Hope this helps.

Thank you.

Absolutely beautiful work and explanation. This horse is lucky to have found you.

You have a realy a nice voice...sooo relaxed

beautiful!

Beautiful work!

Can you use padded shoes to bring relief ?

Congratulations on your excellent work

What a transformation! Amazing!

Very nice!👍👍👍🐴🐴🐴

Nice job. Keep it up.🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

Just amazing. I love your videos. Great job!

Thanks for sharing.👍

Nice.

Nice work! I saw that big pile of old horse shoes in the back ground. What happens to those?

Arthritis is exaserbated by feed sprayed with pesticides - oats are dried faster with the use of glyphosate (Round up) and other hay can be sprayed with fungicide by some people - it makes a difference what an animal/person eats.

Opps see should have watched whole video before opening mouth sorry

I put pads on my horse. She was very tender footed.

Genuine question: is there a reason the bars weren't trimmed further back along with the heel? Won't they just keep pulling the heel under and forward if they're not addressed?

Surgery is not an option?

Not for ringbone. It is a pain management game now! Good question!

Does ringbone hurt like a bone-on-bone joint? I, too, didn't know how ringbone affected that all-important joint. Are these gaited breeds more prone to this?

Do you find leaving the trim high on one side or the other helps with breakover or helps open the joint to relieve pain?

Does a horse get used to the process of being worked on for new shoes?

low heels or high heels?

How old is that guy

Are you shoeing any differently bc of the Paso's gait?

sorry to ask... what is the cause of the ringbone?

It’s arthritis. So wear and tear on the joints, just like us humans get.

@meghanking5395

When the arthritic changes get bad enough in high ring bone, the joint will fuse and no longer cause pain but the coffin joint will never fuse, so it's just managing pain for that joint. We see it alot in PA on the Amish buggy horses from the impact every day on hard roads

Could they do a 'hip replacement' like they do for people ? Only in their hoof bones?

@meghanking5395

Unfortunately no. Horses put most of their body weight on their front legs. They cannot survive on 3 legs. It puts to much stress on the other 3 legs, especially the other front leg and will cause damage to the good legs 😢 I'm sure if you had a million dollars, anything could be possible though

First comment , please 📌 pin

People need to stop breeding these horses with gait mutations. Interfering with normal movement and balance causes a lot if pain and deformity. Added to which, these horses are often ridden by large men, way above the 20% including tack rule. Breeders claim that these are 'natural', but it's actually the result of selective breeding of genetic mutations that cause the irregularities in the horse's movement.

Is there anyway to build up the heal on the horseshoe?? I know nothing about horses, I really enjoy watching you make horses feel better and helping and educating their owners.❤🕊️✝️🙏🏻🐎🫏🎉🎉 You did at the end of the video , I spoke to soon 🤪
