Watching this, you can see why, historically, smiths were revered as magicians. The shoe itself is a work of art and the process of making it is mesmerising. I really am in awe of the knowledge and skills of the farrier. I know next to nothing about horses . . . but I'm learning fast! Incredible work.

​@@neeadevil4840 In Nigeria, home to some of the earliest iron working cultures on the planet, blacksmiths assumed a great deal of spiritual and political importance that continues into the modern era. Working with iron in particular is very difficult, and a population was quite dependent on a small population of smiths to make tools and weapons alike.

With regards protecting hearing, that’s a good idea but I suspect the smiths at least use the sound from the ‘banging’ as feedback when creating items.

Late, but they're sedated usually

I don't think most people have a clue how much skill and craftsmanship is needed to make specialized horseshoes from scratch. Add in the fact that the draft horse, who was easily over 1000 pounds, was constantly pulling his hoof away- mad respect.

I agree: one tends to take more pride in a handmade product, rather than something pre-built! Plus, in this day and age, having more skills takes you farther.

How can people let their poor horses get in this bad shape like this. That's terrible for the horse. Bless it. Thank you for helping them

That was the most amazing piece of craftsmanship I've ever witnessed. What a Masterpiece! I've watched so many different videos of ppl shoeing horses, but this just made me truly appreciate the quality of someone who knows exactly what they are doing. My grandfather was a blacksmith but he died when I was only 7 and I only got to witness his work first hand once. So appreciate all the care these ppl take in doing their trade. Kudos to all of you!!

The art of a farrier has to be at least 1,000 years old. And it’s still so vital to a horses well-being today. Bravo to all master farriers!❤

Such a good baby, just standing there patiently for you. You can just tell he's a good boy!

One my other favorite farrier channels talked about why he hand makes shoes a lot, too. He said that it gives him the ability to support the horses in ways that premade shoes sometimes can’t. He also said that he prefers to stock the unmolded bars rather than lug around all of the specialty premade shoes in any size that he might need. That made a lot of sense to me and I think it’s great that you encourage your students to learn it, even if they choose mostly premade shoes in their careers.

Incredible work as always. You’ve made such a fantastic difference to this horse. He/ she is going to feel so much more comfortable and confident with his/her feet. Thank you for the work that you do.

not all of them. I have a Jazz horse who's impossible to shoe. Thankfully he doesn't need it, he has very good hooves naturally. But when I decided to take the shoes off, we had to sedate him as he was willing to fight us over it. It was because his feet hurt badly, he'd been shod wrong. Now he knows that trimming doesn't hurt and it helps him so he's a very good boy now. Well aside from throwing everything he can find, that is.

Even though this horse has not been kindly treated as his feet degraded to this state, he is amazingly patient with the trimming and shoeing process. I hope his life is much better going forward. Such skill - seeing the “before” it is hard to imagine getting to the “after.”

I keep coming back to this channel because of the artistry and the care that goes into each shoe. It's all about making sure the horse will improve and get the support they need.

Beautiful! I wish I could have seen him walk afterwards. I bet he felt so much better.

I am absolutely blown away by the forging of your custom shoes. I've seen you do it a number of times and still come away astounded by your skills in that department.

I love watching a master craftsman farrier at work, from working out what the foot needs to give it strength and balance, to making the appropriate shoe for the horse to help for hoof health , comfort and hoof improvement

Kudos to these farriers for helping fix these horses feet. As well great work on this horse husbandry.the horses don't seem bothered or nervous during this process.

Nothing like watching a true craftsman work.

I congratulate you for encouraging craftsmanship in forging a shoe specific to the horse’s needs. The easy route is often not the best. 👏👏👏
