      @@Therongunner There are some local fairs and events where you can see draft horses up close and personal. The horse is different than just an animal. The horse has helped man in so many ways. Growing food, fires, wars and transportation just to name a few. Time to add this to your bucket list and get up close and personal with a Clydesdale.

It would be cruel to not take care of this mare's feet and ask her to work as her hooves grow to unmanageable lengths and split/crack, causing laminitis, separation, and possible hoof cap removal. Such a process would take years to happen, and would definitely be painful for the horse.

He passed away about 8 months ago and this video brought back so many memories of my childhood and going every weekend with him. He was old school and did every horse holding there feet but for sure that's a amazing table. Great job to the man in the video and my hats off to him keeping the trade alive.

    To all the people disliking : This does not hurt to the horse at all. It can't feel that part of its hooves, they are mostly made out of the same material as finger nails, but stronger. It can't feel any of it. If it could actually feel it it would have freaked out.

    • @thorn9382
      @thorn9382 Před 4 lety +128

      @Apeman Commeth I'm sure it can feel the heat but I think it would have a larger reaction to it if it was painful. Even if it is painful and lets say the horse is just trained to deal with the pain I think if it was to much the horse would freak out.
      Also, about the wild horses. I'm not an expert on horses, but I think that when they are in captivity they don't wear down their hooves as much and so they need trimmed. A wild horse probably wears down it's own hooves.

      @steamboatwillie8517 Před 4 lety +30

      If it's a ' standard sized horse, I believe, about £18 or £20 a corner here in the uk. Every 6 weeks if lots of road work, not much longer if all soft, as it grows the same rate as your finger nails. The fixing nails are made from lead. They do a burn fit to make sure it's well versed in and not too likely to come loose. The gouging etc doesn't hurt the horse at all: just like cutting your own nails. The toecap clips on the shoes make sure the shoes don't come loose with general use. The rear hooves are slimmer so the horse can dig in better, so those shoes have two toecap clips, not one ( as in the front and broader hoof). They also usually keep a foal close by when mum goes for shoes, so they get the idea and smells etc.
      A farrier with a ' good eye' can also put extra weight on one side of the shoe or other, so if a horse walks with a cast out to one side ( and so keeps clipping his ankle with his own shoe if it inwards) to make the hoof throw straight when walking. I've seen them make a shoe with a temporary plate across to guard a hoof whilst its healing/ growing out.
      I lived on a farm, with heavy plough horses when I was a kid ; I used to stand there weeping when they burned the shoe to fit, no matter how much my mum reassured me they didn't feel it. Ours were 2 Belgians and a Suffolk punch, called Prince. He did the milk round cart every day for years. He didn't need instructions, he knew every stop and start by heart. Even in those pea soup fog we got in the late 50's/ early sixties. In the winter when it was freezing, at the last stop, you could say " walk on prince" jump off the cart, and dash across the field to get to the kitchen for a hot drink. Prince would have to do the long driveway to get back, on his own, and we'd be warmed up by the time he got there. Hot tea, bacon on toast for us, and warm water and bran and carrots for him.Happy days: my 'Saturday job' was a single barrel, bolt action .410 shotgun, a pocket full of cartridges, and off round the barns and yards, looking for rats until lunchtime. I was 11. I very much doubt H& S would let that go these days :0)

    Some of the farriers do the shoeing this way and some do not , this way is easier on the horse and farrier. the nails in the hoof do not hurt the horse at all if they are driven right and not into the sensitive tissue . The horse has to be started in the shoeing stanchion at a early age so he or she knows that it will not hurt them and they will not struggle with it.

      Back in the day our farrier hot shod one of ours resulting from a navickular (sp) problem. He later ended up doing special pads and corrective shoeing. It worked. Donnie the Cornell Farrier grad, was quite the magician with that horse. No stanchion while he worked. We'd hold them all when he worked. Shoeing or just trimming. But he was all business till he'd finish up.

    I can imagine how one can derive a lot of satisfaction from doing a job like this. Just puzzled and amazed that the farrier is occasionally touching the red hot shoes with his bare hands. This was one of my dream alternative professions. The hutch sure makes the job easier. Else bending over in the 'deadly farrier's hold' has damaged many a good back.

    Growing up, our horse knew the farrier's truck and would happily be worked on. His trick was giving the horse a peanutbutter oat treat (that he made himself with natural peanut butter and feed oats) at the beginning and end of the session, as well as developing a repour with all the horses that he cared for.
    He was also who clearly loved horses and it showed in the care that he took in every aspect of his work. No good farrier would last long if they didn't love, respect, and understand the animals that they were caring for.

    I know hooves are tuff, I always trimmed my own horses but I've never seen anyone use a hammer and knife like this to do that before. He's got a neat set up and much safer than trying to wrestle with a horse this size to keep their hoof up in the air. Love his invention for containing the horse too.

      @Edward Snowden *spittakes* Seriously?! This is a horse foot:

      Farrier has to know all of it, inside and out. Add in how to adjust the hoof to proper angles for whatever sport that particular horse is in, adding or subtracting weight to one side of a shoe to correct a small movement fault, doctoring any number of hoof ailments, etc, for any number of horses in multiple different disciplines? All to keep a half-ton to FULL-ton animal and their rider/handler safe and ALIVE? Something as simple as a thrown shoe can cause a fall/broken neck. The baggage guy just needs to worry about keeping everything going to the right destination. Trust me. Two VASTLY different jobs.
      Am I trying to belittle the baggage handler? Not at all. But there's no contest as to who has more riding on their shoulders.

      They are both little shits, not for people who are nervous to handle (I’m not allowed to take either of them, aka lead them out of their field).

    Look, if that horse didnt want things done, you'd not be able to do a thing, its big its strong, and youd end up in the hospital or worse. Even regular horses will give you a good beating if they are not enjoying it. He did his work efficiently without anything fancy, and the horse is well trained to be patient with all this noise and holding its legs up with rope and such. Probably just wanted it over with to get back to work
