To be able to attend vet school, be a farrier, and take care of your family and kids whilst making KZread videos is really amazing, and I want to say your hard work and effort does not go unnoticed. It is motivating and inspiring. Thank you for your videos, and all that you do.

1:59 horse heard ya and stuck his head down to show us himself himself!

You don’t need to apologize for prioritizing school! It’s good to see you posting again!

What an adorable inspector!

I always love seeing dogs in shoeing videos. Just hanging out in the side of the frame like, "Ooh, froggy snacks for me?"

You don't have to apologize for taking some extra time to deal with all those other gazillion things you've been doing! My God, just Veterinary School (by itself) is a more-than full-time job! I bet you're excited to finally be getting near the end! I can't wait to hear that you've graduated and that I'll have to refer to you as "Dr. Sheldon" from then on!!!💗💗💗

Hello Donna how’s the weather over there

Loved how the two "Inspectors" kept reviewing your work.

Love these, esspecially with how little you post, its like a little present seeing that notification. ❤ Keep doing what you're doing!

Exactly. And having notification on means I'm not reliant on whether KZread's algorithm decides he posts frequently enough or not - I see them anyway 😁 AKA, I don't mind when people post infrequently - better to have infrequent but *good* videos like this than frequent "filler" ones like some of the more commercial channels do.

Watch this reminds me of my father. He was a ferrier/ blacksmith specializing in corrective work. Spent my youth watching him

I don't know much about what you're doing, because my horse experience is limited to riding them when I was younger, but I love the channel because you explain things so well.

Great video. Prioritize what you need, this will always be around. You have the best shoeing channel on KZread.

If I had it to do again (I'm 75) and a retired contractor I would be a farrier. Working by yourself and helping animals. More + than - . And you do a wonderful job.. Thanks for sharing your time! KANSAS

I have no idea about horses and farriers, but I love your videos because of your calming voice and how therapeutic the whole process is. Thanks for uploading!

No need to apologize for going a while between vids. We'll be here, excited to see new ones whenever you're ready to post them!

your advice at the end is the same thing my mother said everyday before school

Happy New Year and a Merry Christmas to you and your family Sheldon. No apologies needed for being quiet, family first, school and shoeing second and third (I'll bet that's a tight race) and probably a whole lot more before making videos. Always a pleasure to see you and looking forward to the next video! Take care

As always your attention to detail and the way you explain what you’re doing is fantastic

Hello Margaret how’s the weather over there

I hope everyone can appreciate what it takes to hold that bent leg position holding a hoof, while bent over at the back. I can barely handle bending over to pick something up let alone holding the pose. My hats off to ya.

Thank you for your videos! I dont own a horse or live on a farm but for some reason your videos bring me a lot of enjoyment. Take care.

How fun it was with your new shoes! The two dogs were waiting for the hoof prey until the very end, they kept an eye on it! :-)

Thanks for explaining about the snow pads. We didn't shoe our horses in the winter because of the snow build up but every now and then one would need some support. Sure enjoy your videos and pleased to hear your schooling is soon to come to an end. You are one very busy man.

Thx 4 showing your "patient", lol. And I love learning about the horse's condition etc. Hope you and yours have a great 2022.

Awww, poor things friend won’t respond to him. His winnies are absolutely adorable tho

A trick I learned from a cobbler when grinding, if put the material a tiny bit below the wheel and aim the pad or such as you form a T against the grinder. It allows you to see how much material is left and you can use the rotation force to rotate the piece you're working on

I had no idea how intricately specialised your job is! So much to know and experience. Thankyou for sharing such interesting work.

Hello Kailand how’s the weather over there

I just recently learned that horses can basically have orthopedic horseshoes from another channel and today I learned about snow horseshoes from your channel.

Another good video Sheldon! Thanks for showing us the happy customer in the end!

Really good to see you back! Im not a farrier and don't even have my own horse anymore, but I find your videos so therapeutic and anxiety easing to watch. Something about your way of being reassures me there is good in the world. Thanks for taking the time to share. Watching from Devon, UK.

Hello Emily how’s the weather over there

The following information has almost nothing to do with horseshoeing but it does have a little bit to do with aluminum. Aluminum comes in various hardnesses. For those who don’t understand you could go to a place called McMaster Carr, found on the Internet and if you go to aluminum they will explain some of that to you in quick order. I mostly work with aluminum in metal spinning. You can also make things like gas tanks for motorcycles out of sheet aluminum. If you have aluminum that is relatively hard and doesn’t want to bend you can turn on the acetylene only on your torch and blacken the entire area and then turn on the torch and wave it back-and-forth heating it until the black is all gone, you have now Annealed the aluminum. Aluminum melts at give or take at 1150° F. This gentleman in his way of doing things which is perfect, he’s taking advantage of some of those things mentioned above in a different way. That’s why I subscribe. If some of this help you that is a great thing remember too hot and it turns to a puddle that is shiny. Edit; I came back to add a little experiment that one can do with a propane torch. If you have the lid from a cat food can aluminum of course try to bend it with your hands and see how stiff it is. Now warm it up with a propane torch not to the point that you melt it and let it cool by itself. Now see if you can bend it in your hands and you will find out that you have annealed it.

Awww 🥰🦋 He's so adorable and love that snow pad to push the snow out goes to show I've been out of the loop for far too long I didn't even know those exist. 😳

Hello Linette how’s the weather over there

If you're rushing for the dental imprint material, I have a suggestion; Since it is a 2 part composite, you can prepare them beforehand by getting the equal amounts and putting them together, but not yet kneading them, until you get to the horse. If the sulpate or other materials you want to mix in to it are a problem, try mixing it to either part of the impression material instead and repeating the process of getting part A and part B to the horse before mixing. it will also make the horses more comfortable in the long run since the inside of that impression stuff is already hardening on the inside within minutes! It saves you the stress of having to rush to get each shoe on. Love your videos!

I like watching your videos for two reasons. The first is because they inform me and educate me on a subject I know very very little about. The second is because they remind me of my Father. My Father was born in 1919 on a farm located near Vermillion Alberta Canada. In 1938, my Grandfather determined that one of the family horses had to be put down. The reason for this was this particular horse suffered from a condition where the hooves would split vertically and the horse would go lame and require the attentions of a farrier which, being the depression years, the family could ill afford. My Father was greatly upset about this. That horse was his favourite and, in a sense, was his friend and he loved that animal. He was there when it was born and he had raised it as his own. My Father pleaded with his Father and the response was if he could find a way to fix the animal up and pay for it he could keep it. My Father talked to the local farrier and it turns out that there were special rubber shoes that seemed to work well but they were expensive, $25.00 to be exact. $25.00 was a lot of money in those days but my Father took every dime he had and paid the farrier to do the work. After the shoeing was done, there was no further signs of hoof fracturing and a year later in 1939 when new shoes were needed, my Father again paid the bill. Shortly thereafter, the war broke out and Canada was in the fray. My Father joined the RCAF and went off to do his service. In 1940, the horse needed shoeing again but things went badly. Instead of telling my Father my Grandfather took it upon himself to shoot the animal and have the local rendering company haul it away. When my Dad found out he was heartbroken had a furious argument with his Father. Although he never said anything, I think my Dad felt betrayed. He never forgave my Grandfather for this and carried those memories with him to his dying day. My Father died two days after my 14th birthday . I'm 69 now and I still miss my Dad and remember that horse and how his kindness gave it another two years of life.........

That's a handsome boy, strutting his shiny new shoes.

Your videos are "oddly satisfying" enough that I don't mind you posting infrequently.

Hello Michelle how’s the weather over there

WB, always great to watch you care for horses in need.

Love what you do for the horses sheldon, much respect, ive learned so much here.

This man has a beautiful soul. His love for the horses and words of wisdom along the way of his technical prowess are magical. Bless his heart.

I've seen quite a lot of horseshoeing videos, but yours are my fav : the explanations, the therapeutic shoes, the lil funny comments...

Sheldon, it's great seeing a video from you. Obviously family, work and school win out over yt content every time. Glad you're doing well. This was a cool video to watch with all the techniques you shared. I guess that's why we like you so much you're always sharing what you know with other farriers so you pay it forward in a manner of speaking. Sounds like you've got some exciting changes planned for your channel once you graduate and we're looking forward to it! Hope you and your family, especially your boys, had a wonderful Christmas! Happy New Year to you all as well. Be safe and God bless!

Totally fair the channel would get quiet when school intensifies, it happens. I don't really spend any time around horses but I still find the process pretty interesting - and if I happen upon a horse someday what I pick up will probably be at least a little useful, so I'm glad you're still goin'. Happy new years!

No apologies necessary. Between school, work and most importantly family you are one busy man. Always good to see what you are dealing with horse wise as I get to see a lot of the products you are using everyday where I work. Very informative videos as you try to explain what the problem with the horse is and how you are trying to correct it. Will be looking forward to the next video.

Good to see you back. Can’t wait for more. Congrats on completing Vet school, those videos will be exciting and a good mix with the showing… keep up the great work you do. 🎉🎉

It's really calming and nice to watch you hoof horses, Keep up the good content 👍

Happy new year to you sheldon and your family, so great to see you back, and your wonderful work, stay safe god bless you all, love and best wishes sue and andy. From England xxx❤️❤️❤️👵🏻👴🏻

Your a very wholesome and genuine person. Even those who don't own a horse (me 😊) still like to watch and learn about how your looking after these beautiful horses, as you are very intelligent and articulate with the knowledge you pass on. It makes for a very interesting video. Keep up all the great work your doing 👍.

You're the best!

I love how you keep talking. I watch a lot of cow hoof videos and they keep us so informed about what they are doing, we can almost look at a hoof and figure out what needs to be done. Unfortunately a lot of the farriers dont tell us what they are doing or why. I know nothing, can watch a 100 hours of horse shoeing and still know nothing if you dont talk about what you are doing.

Just started watching your channel and subscribed to it straight away. Love how informative you are and you can see how much you care for the horses. Keep doing what your doing 👏 👌

Watching this stuff calms me down so much

Great to see u back ! Happy New Year

Hi Sheldon, I'm wishing you and your loved ones a very happy New Year! Really love how you explain what you're doing and why. It makes all the difference. Please never apologise for not posting video's. Vet school, work and family (in no particular order) are way more important than posting on social media! Wishing you all the best with the final work of vet school. Saying hi from the Netherlands. 🤗

The horse sure does have a lot to say. So sweet and precious

I love your final message at the end of the video!

Love watching this and listening to you narrate, another career choice. 👌 👏

Can we talk about how intense your inspector is...? My truck would look like a mess too if I had such a wickedly distracting presence hovering around watching every move I make. I tip my hat to your diligence, sir. Keep that inspector happy.

This has to be one of the hardest trades to learn!!! Lots of care and responsibility to the horse!!👍

Amazing...so worth the wait. Best of luck on your endeavors and a happy, healthy, safe and prosperous New Year to you and your family

I love your videos my man. Keep them up. There hasn't been a time Sheldon that I haven't enjoyed your work to decompress. It takes me back to Ukraine when I used to help grandad, handing him tools.

Always put yourself first! No apology needed.

You are good, precise and professional in a way Brian was! Good on you! Never stop being so helpful! You’re fun to watch! I’ve been using epona pack for a decade. Great stuff! It does have a shelf life and a timetable to use it on the foot! Subscribed and happy to keep watching and learning!

Another awesome video!! Thank you!!

Those look like some comfortable shoes! Momma said you can learn a lot about someone by the shoes they wear.

Very nice video Sheldon. He was sure proud of his new shoes. 👏

Great video, good lessons,& nice inspectors.

Never realised how much I missed your videos until I saw the notification you’d posted again!

Great craftsmanship and explanations. At 9:33 love the "Inspector" coming to check out your good work.

Happy New Year to you and your family Sheldon. Don't apologize for life it happens to us all. I'm happy whenever you post a video and if you can't I'll be waiting for when you do post. Lol 🙂❤

GREAT video! I like that you explained what, when, where, why, & how you dun what you did!

Nice winter package. 60% of my work load is alum shoes. I usually find out that (besides the thickness in the stock) that the regulator on the forge dictates the time it takes to heat up to safely work alum. Don’t quote me but I believe I was taught that 700 degrees was a great temp to draw clips /forge weld any alum. My forge time is 25 sec for first clip and 11 sec for second Of course I’ve been caught talking a bit too much and melted a few.
