It would be an ambitious undertaking, but I'd like to know more about the history of farriers, hoof care and horseshoeing. I bet the topic is fascinating. Perhaps you could collaborate with a CZcams history channel? The video could be divided into "eras" or "techniques" or some other way to make the topic easier to cover. It would be nice to see "samples" of older styles of shoemaking. Then again, working on such a project might cut into time needed to care for the horses. They come first. Anyone else interested in this?
@@graealex I almost wonder if they've gotten so used to their feet being handled that the attention is relaxing to them, sort of like when we get a good haircut.
Seriously? Apparently, you didn't watch the video until the end. Not only should everyone be clicking on those three little dots underneath this video and report this content as animal abuse, they should also unsubscribe from this channel completely! (Unless of course, you condone people abusing animals!!) 7:04 Because honestly, I'd like to rope that jerk's kid by the leg and drag it around a field and see how he likes it. SOB!!
The ending shocked the city out of me for a bit LOL. Got me speechless watching that calf get lassoed and dragged off like that. I didn't expect that to be the horse's job nor this guy because I thought he's a farrier and he doesn't do any other ranching jobs. Thanks for the short clip, it'd be nice to see them at the ends of your videos again.
Nice job! But how did you fix the lateral heel check. It was untouched when you did the fullering, then fixed when you did the nail holes. just curious if you used a hardie, heel cutter or did you grind it.
From the moment I saw those last few seconds of video with the calf I knew that every little self-righteous idiots would come and scream abuse and cruelty. For those people, please, go watch video or reportage about real animal abuse and cruelty, then come back here, you'll see some very big differences! Otherwise, don't speak about thing you don't know about or can't understand.

Yes I think salad bowl shoes can be very handy. This particular horse just needed a tad more protection. This is 1/4x1 bar and he works really well in them. Both myself and the other instructor are journeymen and our course is based on the certification test.
@@mirandapanda5439 These things aren't tame lmao. Let's see you try to walk up and just grab it and get what you need done while a hundred pound calf is flailing around and kicking. It's the fastest and safest way to restrain them so you can get what they need done and let them go. It doesn't hurt them at all.
Cows are strong and have thick skin, there's no more gentle way to do it than drag them. They're also not generally gentled or broken so you certainly can't put a halter on them and lead them around. During branding the calves are vaccinated, tagged, and branded all between 30 seconds and 1 minute and then let go. The calves get protected in the least stressful way possible. All the mooing is generally cows calling for their calves so they can stay together better. I believe why this is done in America and not as much in other countries has to do with the size of heards and how much land they roam on. If one gets sick or goes missing while grazing hours away from home there is no way to bring it back.

@@midwestblondie settle down the kalf isn't hurt, had it been on like concrete then okay. But this is soft grass and the kalf is not that big and heavy as an adult cow or bull... and tbh predators hurt them much more...
@@stijnVDA1994 Let me drag you around by your leg on the grass while I'm riding a horse and see if it hurts. Just because it's a cow doesn't mean it doesn't feel pain you moron!
That is a technique called "hot shoeing". This is done to make sure the foot is as level as possible before the shoe is nailed on. Note how he rasps the sole of the foot (white part inside), thats him attempting to level the foot with just his eyes and tools. This is one of the hardest parts about shoeing and can take years to really get good at. Once he thinks is sound enough he will burn the bottom of the hoof and sole with a hot shoe. You are looking for an even black (burnt) line, flush with the foot as you remove the hot shoe. If its even and flush your leveling is good enough. You are also looking to make sure that the shoe can be placed in the correct position for the nails to go through the white line and side wall as apposed to the other side of the white line which has soft tissue underneath. OUCH if you make that mistake, and no the hot shoeing in no way hurts the horse, its the equivalent to burning hair or a finger nail. p.s. I am also a farrier. Thats why I know.
I assume it helps fit the hoof and shoe together better. Don't worry, the horse has no nerves in its hoof, it's basically a huge, specialized toenail and the heat doesn't conduct far. The horse isn't stressed or in pain.

The horse looks very well taken care of, compared to the other horses that you’ve worked on.
This is meant as a compliment to your ranching(?) skills
He's lovely...must be nice to know such a good farrier.
God Bless this precious Horse, being so calm, while getting new shoes.
Imagine getting a pedicure and not be bothered by your feet starting to smoke like crazy...
@@graealex Hoof is smoking, which is like our finger nails, no feeling.

Oddly satisfying watching you work and such good video.

I knew my length was long when I made my toe bend so I shaped the shoe and ground the lateral side.

What type of steel is used for horse shoes ?
Mild steel
Hello, what kind of steel do you use in shoeing? Thanks.
Huh. So does having flat feet make him 4F? ;)
Looks like lightweight bar stock . What size is it . ? Nice clean shoeing .
Is there a particular reason why some hooves are not concave?
Genetics. In many breeds we have bred healthy hooves out of horses.
@@idahohorseshoeingschool Thank you. A fantastic job!
Where can I get a Apron like yours
Interesting! Why these vs a pad?
I try to avoid covering the whole bottom of the foot if I can. I seem to come back to a healthier foot if I can leave the frog exposed.
Nice work have you tried those salad bowl shoes on them flared out hooves does your schook offer pre cert courses for journymen runs

U best put some SPF 100 on that sumbuck
What are you doing to that calf?! I’m from the uk so never seen anything like that before.
Dragging it to get it branded, castrated, or doctored. It's the least stressful way to do it
No need for that. Could have taken it much more gently. Cruel 🤬

Why do you put horse shoe on red hot on horses hoof
I assume it helps fit the hoof and shoe together better. Don't worry, the horse has no nerves in its hoof, it's basically a huge, specialized toenail and the heat doesn't conduct far. The horse isn't stressed or in pain.

I was enjoying it till you dragged the calf by one leg, that's animal abuse from where I come from.
Stop taking off his heels, and he wont be flat footed
