They let you watch them work and he tells you about how blacksmithing worked back then. Its truly a thing to behold and a shame that its been mostly phased out by mass manufacturing.

I have lots of respect for a person that spends their time bent over at the waist working this hard every day. Not an easy job, but its nice to see people working so hard to care for their animals. It’s great to see the respect they have for each other.
I have to agree. That can’t be easy on the back. I also have to wonder what kind of thigh muscles you develop squeezing the hoof between your knees for extended periods like that.
Actually, under the Apron or Chaps the legs are bent more than the back, we try to keep the back from taking the downward pressure during parts of the process. Hands, forearm's, lumbar muscles calves all develop really tone. Also, if the horse is friendly doesn't really care you can take your time, it's when the horse is being bitten by deer or horse fly's that's when the horse won't stand still, so spray your horse before the Farrier arrives please. And for that matter the barn too...
these men take a lot of pride in what they do, and I hope they get paid well.. If you didn't grow up in this business, try finding some 16 year old kid who would do this kind of work, or even be interested to learn the trade. Much respect..
ngl when i discovered hoove working vids, its usually on cows who NEED their hooves trimmed and healed because they are infected, or hurt, etc. this is a nice change of pace since its a horse essentially on a spa day.
I grew up on a farm working a team of draft horses. No tractor until I was 14. My grandfather did the farrier work. I was fascinated, but never learned the trade. My wife and I now own three horses. I’m still fascinated on farrier day. Amazing how they can shape the hooves.
I don't own a horse. I don't event think about horses. I don't even know how I got to this channel, but I am astounded by everything I saw! Craftsmanship, the partnership between the man and horse, trust, knowledge, technique, tools, the sounds grace and strength. So awesome.
I am an elderly lady, never owned a horse, though my daughter does, and here I am, absolutely rivited to this whole process. The skill (and the courage with large powerful animals) is fascinating... I have seen farriers work before but only with pre-made shoes, this is a whole new level.
I’m very impressed at how well behaved the horse is. When cows get worked on they put them in a full on body press. This guy just sticks the horse’s leg between his legs and gets to work. It’s like the horse knows it’s going to get a pedicure.
I couldn’t agree more with you my dear. This is simply a joy to watch. He’s a craftsman and takes great care of these animals he does this service for. I’m with you in this hehehe I loved it too
Never missed a visit from the shoer. So fascinated by their patience and blacksmith abilities. The smell of the hot shoe against the hoof just permeates the video ; ) Considering the back aches, bending over all day, kicks and nasty attitudes, it is amazing how a shoer is so willing to help horses. They are always the number one resource, before the vet, who knows your horse and can help lead you in their care. ❤️. Thank you for doing what you are so great at!
Very impressive. I walked into my friend's stable one day, and I saw a guy wearing a helmet, the horse's mouth was wide open, he was a horse dentist. I couldn't believe what I saw. His work was amazing. Still to this day, I'm at awe when I think back to the horse dentist.
What an excellent blacksmith masterclass. That horse was standing completely differently by the time you'd finished.. I loved the attention to detail when you rubbed the oil into the hoof to nourish the dry hoof wall.👍💚👍
@@coldspice_2950 Tnx for the info. When you point it out to me, then it makes complete sense. Long in the tooth, and short in the ways of IT, at this end!!! Peace.
Since she brought it up I have to say that the Bible doesn’t teach a works based Salvation…It teaches that Jesus’ sacrifice alone was enough to pay for the sins of the world and each of us must accept that gift in order to receive it. Repentance is necessary too but that is part of belief…when you truly see your sin and how it stands between you and a Holy God then you make a decision to turn from it. You will screw up and at times go back to sin but you do not stay in that state…when you truly trust in Jesus then the Holy Spirit resides within you from then on. Any good works we do are an effect of knowing God more and learning to be more like Him. We will never be perfect on this earth and that’s why we need Jesus’ sacrifice. I hope that clarified something for anyone reading and I’m sorry there are so many out there misrepresenting Jesus. Just remember that we are only people. If we harm or offend you, please don’t blame that on Jesus. And please go read His own Words and call out to Him for His wisdom and understanding and trust that you will receive that from Him.
today i am grateful that i am able to snuggle up in my home during a blizzard, and appreciate the hard work that goes into caring for these animals. i am grateful to farmers for working hard behind the scenes to make my life much easier. ❤
A work horse needs shoes like that, but I've got horses that never get shoes, always barefoot - mainly because they're living the idle life in a pasture. Just a trim from time to time, and they're good. Some farriers do cold-shoeing, but this hot-shoeing is far better, and those craftsmen are good at it.
Superb sir. You transported me back in time to 1956, I was 10 years old on the way home from school we always stopped at what we called in those days, the blacksmith, now they're called farriers. My brother and I used to pump the huge leather bellows that blew air into the forge to heat the steel shoes, we would lead and hold the horses for the farmers and riders. Wonderful memories.
A blacksmith is a metal worker, a farrier looks after horses shoeing. I once sailed with a 3rd engineer who said he started work as an apprentice blacksmith in the shipyards in Middlesborough, but in the old days they did tend to call the blacksmith and farrier, just the blacksmith.
I have horses & enjoy the absolute brilliance of this channel & the farriers who demonstrate there remarkable skill in case after case. Thank you so much. No hoof no horse….
I loved watching this the fantastic work they perform on the horses hooves is amazing, and watching the shoes being made from scratch unbelievable. Well done everyone for making these poor horses pain free.👏👏👍
Making that horseshoe was one of the most impressive things I've ever seen. Obviously I'm new here. It was a work of art. My mouth is still hanging open!
@@UnknownUnknown-oh2tw It's literally the most basic of blacksmithing. The first thing any blacksmith learns to do, is make tongs. Then, with those tongs, you learn to make a horseshoe. There are craptons of videos out there.
There is something so mesmerizing about watching a Master practice his craft. Not only is it purposeful and utilitarian but it is kind and for the benefit and better health of the animal. You can really see the patience and love this man has for his work and for the animals.
Work horses are usually the humblest, quietiest and sweetest horses..poor guy needed to have had more maintenance and love shown upon him 😢❤ also dont forget to applying oil on afterwards! After sanding down the hoof the barrier is removed and allows wate to evaporate
Been a ferrier, blacksmith is honest hard work, I remember over fifty years ago the local horse auctions would have some tough people knocking around. No one would ever mess with the ferrier.
Isn't that more than a bit overdue? That shoe is a perfect fit. Craftsmen who take their job seriously still exist. So nice to see this horse is so calm and gently.
@@kilimnataniahu4175 He mentioned right around the 4:00 mark the he was going to add them to give the horse more traction in mud, since it is a working horse. He called them "culkins" (calkins?) which is a new word to me!
It's so amazing to see horse shoes still being handmade, and not just that, but how calm the horse is throughout all the fittings! So cool! One thing I've been learning with trimming our sheep's hooves is farriers are borderline magicians! My best work looks worse than a farrier who's blackout drunk!
@@vineetagrawal8701 Yes of course they feel pain - and they will let the farrier know if he is hurting them! They have to work very precisely once they get near the 'live' part of the hoof of course, but most of the outside of the hoof is not sensitive, it is like the bit of your finger and toe nails that you can cut and file. Horses quickly get used to having their hooves attended to if treated well from the beginning. They can get impatient and a bit uncomfortable at times but a good farrier will never hurt a horse. BTW I come from a long family line of farriers in the UK.
CZcams recommended it even though I've already seen it, but I'm not complaining. The transformation, although not that drastic compared to other videos, is gorgeous. The sounds and visuals are just so good 🥰
I've never had a horse, I don't think I'll be lucky enough to have one either and yet I find watching your videos to be incredibly gratifying. Thank you for sharing your videos and helping out these poor neglected but majestic and noble animals
Taking this straight from Google, but this work should last at least four to six weeks before needing to be done again. It's certain worth the prep time.
@@iratecynic6745 that's absolutely incredible. Best to do it well each time. I'd rather get someone this skilled to spend eight hours shoeing my horse than get an hour-long bungled job!!
As someone who otherwise would have no interest or exposure to the world of horses and horseshoes, you guys are doing incredible work. Your skill and care for these animals is so phenomenal, and you've gone through the extra trouble of bringing this experience right for us to watch. Wonderful stuff!!
you know these horses are crazy well cared for when the owners call a farrier like this! its INCREDIBLE to watch just how personalizied the shoes are and how fast the farrier is able to make them. at this point it might aswell be art!
@@bri4rpatch129 a couple reasons why that could be: 1. This could be a rescue horse that they recently got. 2. It could’ve taken awhile for the farrier to get to their horses (sometimes it takes awhile for these kinds of people to be available)
@@bri4rpatch129 You are right. He said in the comment section of another video, when someone asked where all these heavily neglected horses came from, that the school provides a big discount on their services and you'd be surprised how many people don't have the budget to get their animals proper hoofcare. They also treat cases that other farriers won't take.
@@keiishine We had one we had to hogtie to shoe. Named him "little monster" afterward. LOL. Weird thing is he was friendly as can be other than that one quirk.
@@keiishine Usually by repetitive handling of the feet. Horses have to have their feet cleaned with a hoof pick. Handling of the feet is an important part of training. Some farriers will help train them, but usually they refuse to work on a horse that is too uncooperative.
My grandfather 1885-1972 would absolutely love your work. He was tough to work for, which was a good thing. The transformation of that foot and the shoe forging was first class. Keep on keeping on.
Sir ... Your skill is quite astounding. What impressed me most was that the sizing was so exact. Thank you so much for showing us how it should be done. Dave UK.
whats really cool about these videos is that the Horse is so calm during this whole process. They KNOW what is happening and probably feel good about it too when the work is done.
As a horse owner, it's so oddly satisfying watching your farrier work on your horses feet. I know shoeing draft horses is different than most other horses, but this is still very cool.
@@RedPillSurvival It depends on the individual farrier, what type of horse it is, and what's being done. My horse is $80 every 6-8 weeks, just for a trim. He is a Swedish warmblood, which is a fairly decent size horse, but he doesn't wear shoes.
I have no idea why I watch these videos, I’ve never seen a horse in person and I’m sure I never will. But the way you all take such good care of these sweet animals is very soothing and satisfying. Thank you for sharing 😅
I love that I'm watching a process that is largely unchanged from its 2,000 year old origins. I feel like I'm watching history. This is the kind of work that has kept civilization going throughout the ages!
@@teluguabbayi5676 they normal don't feel anything down there if you don't know that yet lmao, infact they get piss off if no one do that for them so next time do your research first if you don't want to look like a clown
@@teluguabbayi5676 Horses that are domesticated NEED their hooves done. Since they don't walk in the wild and don't "file" their hooves on hard terrain, their hooves grow too much and came become a problem if not treated. Even cows and bulls need a trim sometime. And shoeing is for preventing unnecessary damage to the hoove, from cracks to infections to make their job easier (like this time) by adding more traction. Also, they don't feel pain, it's like working on our hair, you can cut, dye, curl them and you don't feel anything because there are no nervous terminations.
Not doing it would hurt them. Recently i had to call animal protection service, because there were some donkeys with hooves way to long, two of them couldn‘t neither walk or even stand properly because of it.
That was impressive to watch. The trimming of the hoof, then taking a straight piece of metal and creating the exact shoe for the horse’s needs. You have a new subscriber, I look forward to seeing more!!!
What an amazing skill. It’s absolutely an art. I lived in an area where all the neighbors had horses- except us. Some race horses, some pleasure & some work horses. It was always fascinating to watch you professionals work. My question is: Who lets their horse’s hooves get so overgrown? Is this a rescuer program for the school? Whatever it is -so satisfying to watch. Keep up the wonderful work. What a skill set !
As somebody who’s only ever seen a horse stable twice in his life, much less a whole ass ranch, it is definitely alarming at first to see you nail glowing hot metal to the foot of an animal like that. But the fact that the horse didn’t even flinch made me look it up and realize how hooves are/why shoes are still made that way… makes perfect sense, but still absolutely wild to see. My feet sure as hell wouldn’t stand up to an iron shoe straight outta the forge lol
@@keineahnung5793 someone in the comments said it appears to be a Friesian horse but to be honest I didn't check if it was a male or not! Could have been a female.
The original gear heads. As a car enthusiant, that runs em, fixes them and loves them, we salute you. Without the horse, there would be no horse power!
my brain still can't comprehend how a searing piece of metal doesn't hurt the horse. obviously it doesn't or the horse wouldn't have let you do it, but that's crazy to me! thank you for teaching me something new 😀
The part of the hoof that gets touched by the hot metal is the same material as your fingernails. As long as the heat doesn't touch the quick, it doesn't hurt at all.
Its the same stuff as your nails or hairs. It doesnt hurt to cut your nails/hairs. Nor does it to burn it. Obviously, if you put an iron on your finguernail itll hurt since your finguernails are very tin and the heat will transfer on the skin below, but the horse hooves are very thick, so the heat doesnt make it. Its the same way as wheb you iron your hairs to straighten them if you have long hairs. The temperature is well able to completely burn your flesh, but you dont feel it since your hairs are far from your head skin If the process was in any way painful or even just too inconvenient for the horse, the horse would have reacted by pulling back its leg, moving or something, which it did not do
You sir are quite the craftsman. The shoe fits perfectly, the hoof is level, the nails all come out at the same distance, and the horse despite not having a trim in a while stayed calm and didn't fuss while you worked. All signs of a grade A farrier. I can see why you are working at the school. This was my idea of a dream job when I was a little girl, but I now am disabled with chronic pain, chronic migraines, and vertigo, so there's no way I could do any of it now. Cheers to you sir and the horses.
Just think, somewhere out there, in another world, reality, maybe even in another lifetime, you did exactly that job, day and night until that dinner bell rang to call you home for supper. You felt good about the work you did because you knew how much the horses appreciated your skilled and expert hand, and the crafting of metal was something that always made your soul sing. You may be wearing a different 'outfit' in this life and have set yourself a different set of goals, but the ferrier will always be a part of you and you can call on his mettle whenever you need it in life❤️
@@litebrite8993 Um...wow. That really touched me. I really needed to hear that right now...it's one of those points in life when people ask how you're *really* doing and you still have to fake smile and say, "Oh, fine," because the people around you need you to be at least okay, and you can't afford to break down any worse than you already have...
@@Just1Nora I'm so glad that my msg helped you in some way. Always remember that life is so much MORE than what they tell us it is. That WE are so much more. We are more than just the sum of our experiences or the endurance of our pain. Those are things that happen to us, and as difficult and painful as they can be, it is not who we are. It is not who You are. You are not your pain or your limitations. The world can try and trap your spirit in many creative and challenging ways, but just try and keep the heart of a metalsmith from lighting up at the sight of a piece of glowing hot metal, or keep at a canter the horse that is determined to run. When you remember who you really are, what you are, you take back every piece of power your pain ever stole ❤️ Wishing you from my heart, the freedom of knowing you're already free.
I have read and skimmed . but i have to come back here , maybe i can help someone . If you are sick, I suggest you find a group about eating vegetables and fruits that will help you heal. Learn about it and stay away from Western medicine.

I considered becoming a farrier after high school, but decided against it because of the risk of injury. However I have immense respect for both farriers and hoof trimmers, especially those with the expertise to improve really poor hoof health over time. Great work!
For the people wondering a Farrier will have several pre cast shoes in various sizes they will select the closest size to the horse they are working with and re shape it normally in this case they made them from blank as this was a working horse am guessing ? The lip at the front is to reduce slip and help stop the horse going lame and or throwing a shoe 😁👌
@@stephaniex_x7275 am not a farrier but grew up on livery yard mum bred horses for dressage / show jumping so am no expert but If I remember right it's to stop the shoe slipping or twisting once fitted
@@harms-jm7gx maybe it's that fact that helps the horse with traction, a very firm shoe that wont slip. And being a workhorse he probably puts big stress on those hooves
I always wondered how people actually attached the shoes and seeing you nail straight into the hoof without hesitation gave me such a visceral reaction. I know it Dosent hurt the horse, but it’s so weird to see it’s just an uncomfy feeling. Still glad his feet are okay
You're right, they are a ton of work. With trimming, and shoeing the farrier is doing all of the work. When you take the horse home then the work of feeding, cleaning, grooming, and exercise is all yours.
YOUNG MAN "YOU'' ARE AN EXTRAORDINARY FERRIER - The horse trusts you and he likes you because you truly know what you're doing- you are confident, caring and attentive to horses hooves - the horses feel comforted by by your grooming - Its obvious you alleviate their discomfort very well, Their feet look wonderful after seeing you~
Horses are pretty neat, How they have so much hoof and they can't feel any of that work being done. The nails going through the hoof was what really shows you they can't feel it.
Hats off to the skill, craftsmanship and hard work these farriers possess! Additionally, the care and respect shown to these horses is really appreciated. Great post.
That horse, he looks really happy. It's like he knows you're helping him and he's looking forward to his new "boots" :) I don't understand his calmness. Our cat literally hates having his paws touched. It's like he thinks I'm going to steal them :)
Horses are amazing. I haven't been around them much but they *are* prey animals, and the trust it takes for any creature to hand over a hoof/foot/paw is easy to underestimate.
That is truly incredible, impressive, highly skilled work. I am so grateful there are people like this farrier who love and care for these beautiful creatures.
That horse is a good horse, I'm glad he got his feet trimmed. Thanks for helping keep the food on the table for everyone on the ranch! Many hays and nays to this big chunk of love and muscle ❤
This horse is getting a nice pedicure and he likes it, plus he is getting a brand new set of custom hand made shoes. Awesome job sir, two thumbs way up.
I'm impressed. I have never understood how a skill of a blacksmith horseshoes or when the origin of a horse needed the horseshoe with the horse's relaxed animal sense to be shoed. I especially am fascinated how the years of a needed skill for an animal will never be different through the decades past...thank you!
You know, I've always wondering why anvils look like that. I get it now! Really neat to see how you use those angles to get the right shape of the shoe.
As a city boy and one who knows nothing much at all about horses, I am amazed that the animal just stands there patiently while you work on its foot. I would have loved to have had such cooperation out of my dogs. LOL
Horses are surprisingly calm considering the shoeing process. I was a farrier for 20 years in the UK and I'd say 80% of the horses I shod stood as well as this one. The most likely ones to be difficult are young horses, but if handled properly from the beginning they're fine
Most dog folks don't teach their dogs to accept paw holdings and restraint in general from a young age. I've had young dogs scream and flip out when they're restrained for the first time
It's almost like the horse enjoyed the pedicure. He just kind of took it all in and never flinched. You did a great job and your cameraman (or woman) did a great job too! Thank you so very much from this old Marine.
Skills. Practice makes it all perfect. No matter what you do. But you've gotta love it because without LOVE, nothing is possible ! I really enjoyed watching this!
Such an underrated, yet NECESSARY craft. The tremendous skill derived from talent, knowledge, and experience is on display here. This Horse definitely is the BETTER for being taken care of properly.
I will say, whoever thought of this channel not only capitalized on the rising popularity of these horse hoof videos but also the blacksmithing audience well done
If you are into hooves, check out the ones on treating cattle. They aren't as compliant as horses and a whole different ballgame when it comes to foot care.
A true master craftsman. You make it look so easy, as anyone at the upper echelons of their chosen field often does. A knowledge slowly gained over many, many years I'm sure. Thank you for the work that you do for the horses and for sharing your craft with the world, made my day.
That was so amazing to watch, and such a pleasure to see the horse being so willing and knowing new shoes were coming. that must feel so nice for the horse afterwards. 💗
My grandfather was a ferrier, and he made all shoes for different horses. I remember it still even I was a little child back then. Later on he used pre-made ones
A master blacksmith makes them like this. A lot of people buy them premade, but they still have to heat them up and bend them to fit the particular horse.
Well .. There's different use for horses ... Some jumps, some runs, some pulls, some for show ... Even in jumping, running, pulling n shows there's some quite few differences . So horse-mart sell different pre-made ones . We're not the only ones, but on certain levels you have to properly shooe the horse for the specific run . Not quite sure you'll be authorized to blow up your buggy on the dragway while keeping the gravels in with ... You'll have to keep the gravels out ... Just saying . Dare, care, ride safe, clean, have fun ... From France with .

Peace.
Since she brought it up I have to say that the Bible doesn’t teach a works based Salvation…It teaches that Jesus’ sacrifice alone was enough to pay for the sins of the world and each of us must accept that gift in order to receive it. Repentance is necessary too but that is part of belief…when you truly see your sin and how it stands between you and a Holy God then you make a decision to turn from it. You will screw up and at times go back to sin but you do not stay in that state…when you truly trust in Jesus then the Holy Spirit resides within you from then on. Any good works we do are an effect of knowing God more and learning to be more like Him. We will never be perfect on this earth and that’s why we need Jesus’ sacrifice. I hope that clarified something for anyone reading and I’m sorry there are so many out there misrepresenting Jesus. Just remember that we are only people. If we harm or offend you, please don’t blame that on Jesus. And please go read His own Words and call out to Him for His wisdom and understanding and trust that you will receive that from Him.
The strength these guys must have , what a workout of the body and mind. Must be very rewarding.
Also 7.5M views in 2 months, very much deserved.
today i am grateful that i am able to snuggle up in my home during a blizzard, and appreciate the hard work that goes into caring for these animals. i am grateful to farmers for working hard behind the scenes to make my life much easier. ❤
That's just one hoof.. The amount of work that goes into caring for a horse is amazing.
It doesn't matter which profession you have...if you are good at it and if you can in some way specialize in horses, you can gain some serious money
@@xandroy1273 horses especially, so many rich people have them and will spend top dollar for a pro
A work horse needs shoes like that, but I've got horses that never get shoes, always barefoot - mainly because they're living the idle life in a pasture. Just a trim from time to time, and they're good. Some farriers do cold-shoeing, but this hot-shoeing is far better, and those craftsmen are good at it.
Horses are just incredibly expensive to maintain

Superb sir. You transported me back in time to 1956, I was 10 years old on the way home from school we always stopped at what we called in those days, the blacksmith, now they're called farriers. My brother and I used to pump the huge leather bellows that blew air into the forge to heat the steel shoes, we would lead and hold the horses for the farmers and riders. Wonderful memories.
A farrier is half blacksmith half horse foot guy.
A general blacksmith is mostly about metalwork, and may or may not be a farrier as well
Cool stuff!
They're still considered blacksmiths! Or should be, anyway. The work is the same.
A blacksmith is a metal worker, a farrier looks after horses shoeing. I once sailed with a 3rd engineer who said he started work as an apprentice blacksmith in the shipyards in Middlesborough, but in the old days they did tend to call the blacksmith and farrier, just the blacksmith.
You were born in 1946 hella cool!!
I have horses & enjoy the absolute brilliance of this channel & the farriers who demonstrate there remarkable skill in case after case. Thank you so much. No hoof no horse….
I loved watching this the fantastic work they perform on the horses hooves is amazing, and watching the shoes being made from scratch unbelievable. Well done everyone for making these poor horses pain free.👏👏👍
Making that horseshoe was one of the most impressive things I've ever seen. Obviously I'm new here. It was a work of art. My mouth is still hanging open!
I can remember watching my dad do the exact same thing, many years ago, I could stand and watch him for hours.
wow, you must have not seen much of anything in your whole entire life.
@@Hello-ig1px just because he hasn’t seen a horseshoe made???
@@UnknownUnknown-oh2tw It's literally the most basic of blacksmithing. The first thing any blacksmith learns to do, is make tongs. Then, with those tongs, you learn to make a horseshoe. There are craptons of videos out there.
. Sry it took 3 days buddy.
There is something so mesmerizing about watching a Master practice his craft. Not only is it purposeful and utilitarian but it is kind and for the benefit and better health of the animal. You can really see the patience and love this man has for his work and for the animals.
Yes. I consider this sort of extreme competency a form of GENIUS. Most cannot work both metal as a Blacksmith and take care of a Horses' foot so well.
Work horses are usually the humblest, quietiest and sweetest horses..poor guy needed to have had more maintenance and love shown upon him 😢❤ also dont forget to applying oil on afterwards! After sanding down the hoof the barrier is removed and allows wate to evaporate
Been a ferrier, blacksmith is honest hard work, I remember over fifty years ago the local horse auctions would have some tough people knocking around. No one would ever mess with the ferrier.
Isn't that more than a bit overdue? That shoe is a perfect fit. Craftsmen who take their job seriously still exist. So nice to see this horse is so calm and gently.
Well yeah...
The horse completely trusts him. ❣️
I know nothing about horses and their shoes, but why does it have those two sticking out parts at the end, that look like heels?
@@kilimnataniahu4175 they dig in when they push off their hind legs to pull things, gives them more traction
@@kilimnataniahu4175 He mentioned right around the 4:00 mark the he was going to add them to give the horse more traction in mud, since it is a working horse. He called them "culkins" (calkins?) which is a new word to me!
It's so amazing to see horse shoes still being handmade, and not just that, but how calm the horse is throughout all the fittings! So cool! One thing I've been learning with trimming our sheep's hooves is farriers are borderline magicians! My best work looks worse than a farrier who's blackout drunk!
Jajajajaja!!!!
I’m thinking how much my dog hates having his nails trimmed, and my little grandson, come to that!
Hey I have one question to ask.
Do the horses feel pain or their skin is very hard they don't feel anything on legs ?
I think the budget of the owner here is a bit larger xD
@@vineetagrawal8701 Yes of course they feel pain - and they will let the farrier know if he is hurting them! They have to work very precisely once they get near the 'live' part of the hoof of course, but most of the outside of the hoof is not sensitive, it is like the bit of your finger and toe nails that you can cut and file. Horses quickly get used to having their hooves attended to if treated well from the beginning. They can get impatient and a bit uncomfortable at times but a good farrier will never hurt a horse. BTW I come from a long family line of farriers in the UK.
CZcams recommended it even though I've already seen it, but I'm not complaining. The transformation, although not that drastic compared to other videos, is gorgeous. The sounds and visuals are just so good 🥰
I've never had a horse, I don't think I'll be lucky enough to have one either and yet I find watching your videos to be incredibly gratifying. Thank you for sharing your videos and helping out these poor neglected but majestic and noble animals
That horse looking so bored and staring off into the distance while you aggressively hammered smoking hot iron onto his hoof was strangely hilarious.
Two hours later and it's still just hoof number one!!
Truly worth the time, effort, love, and care. Wow.
Taking this straight from Google, but this work should last at least four to six weeks before needing to be done again. It's certain worth the prep time.
@@iratecynic6745 that's absolutely incredible. Best to do it well each time. I'd rather get someone this skilled to spend eight hours shoeing my horse than get an hour-long bungled job!!
Love the horses expression when the smoke billows out XD hes like "umm excuse me wtf"
Those are some fancy shoes! Watching this from beginning to end was so satisfying. I’m sure this horse was grateful
As someone who otherwise would have no interest or exposure to the world of horses and horseshoes, you guys are doing incredible work. Your skill and care for these animals is so phenomenal, and you've gone through the extra trouble of bringing this experience right for us to watch. Wonderful stuff!!
bro watxhed a horse hood video w rhe miku pfp
you know these horses are crazy well cared for when the owners call a farrier like this!
its INCREDIBLE to watch just how personalizied the shoes are and how fast the farrier is able to make them.
at this point it might aswell be art!
dude did you see the shape those hooves were in before he started? they should have called a farrier in a while before this
@@bri4rpatch129 possibly a rescue in a new housing situation
@@bri4rpatch129 a couple reasons why that could be:
1. This could be a rescue horse that they recently got.
2. It could’ve taken awhile for the farrier to get to their horses (sometimes it takes awhile for these kinds of people to be available)
@@bri4rpatch129 You are right. He said in the comment section of another video, when someone asked where all these heavily neglected horses came from, that the school provides a big discount on their services and you'd be surprised how many people don't have the budget to get their animals proper hoofcare. They also treat cases that other farriers won't take.
Yeah.. “crazy well cared for”
Bless these men who do honest good work that benefits those around them! Fantastic job, brother
The horse is so laid back. I wonder how common it is to get a feisty horse that won't play along compared to calm ones like this
A lot of farriers will actually refuse to work with horses that don't cooperate. It's dangerous to be that near an uncooperative animal's feet.
@@abyssalcrisis how does an unruly horse get their hooves trimmed and shoes
@@keiishine We had one we had to hogtie to shoe. Named him "little monster" afterward. LOL. Weird thing is he was friendly as can be other than that one quirk.
@@keiishine Usually by repetitive handling of the feet. Horses have to have their feet cleaned with a hoof pick. Handling of the feet is an important part of training. Some farriers will help train them, but usually they refuse to work on a horse that is too uncooperative.
My grandfather 1885-1972 would absolutely love your work. He was tough to work for, which was a good thing. The transformation of that foot and the shoe forging was first class. Keep on keeping on.

whats really cool about these videos is that the Horse is so calm during this whole process. They KNOW what is happening and probably feel good about it too when the work is done.
This guy does very beautiful work and he's also very gentle. I have seen some farriers who are way too rough and the horse is flinching.
I honestly don't understand a single thing you're doing, but it is fascinating to watch. I am truly impressed. Love watching your videos so much!
As a horse owner, it's so oddly satisfying watching your farrier work on your horses feet. I know shoeing draft horses is different than most other horses, but this is still very cool.
How much does it cost to shoe a horse in this manner?
@@RedPillSurvival It depends on the individual farrier, what type of horse it is, and what's being done. My horse is $80 every 6-8 weeks, just for a trim. He is a Swedish warmblood, which is a fairly decent size horse, but he doesn't wear shoes.
It's a honse not a horse

Once you smell the delicious smell of a horse there's no going back
I love that I'm watching a process that is largely unchanged from its 2,000 year old origins. I feel like I'm watching history. This is the kind of work that has kept civilization going throughout the ages!
Yes, largely unchanged of hurting the horse with nails into his feet since 2000 years.
@@teluguabbayi5676 they normal don't feel anything down there if you don't know that yet lmao, infact they get piss off if no one do that for them so next time do your research first if you don't want to look like a clown
@@teluguabbayi5676 Horses that are domesticated NEED their hooves done. Since they don't walk in the wild and don't "file" their hooves on hard terrain, their hooves grow too much and came become a problem if not treated. Even cows and bulls need a trim sometime. And shoeing is for preventing unnecessary damage to the hoove, from cracks to infections to make their job easier (like this time) by adding more traction. Also, they don't feel pain, it's like working on our hair, you can cut, dye, curl them and you don't feel anything because there are no nervous terminations.
Not doing it would hurt them. Recently i had to call animal protection service, because there were some donkeys with hooves way to long, two of them couldn‘t neither walk or even stand properly because of it.
@@teluguabbayi5676 what do windows taste like?
That was impressive to watch. The trimming of the hoof, then taking a straight piece of metal and creating the exact shoe for the horse’s needs. You have a new subscriber, I look forward to seeing more!!!
What an amazing skill. It’s absolutely an art. I lived in an area where all the neighbors had horses- except us. Some race horses, some pleasure & some work horses. It was always fascinating to watch you professionals work. My question is: Who lets their horse’s hooves get so overgrown? Is this a rescuer program for the school?
Whatever it is -so satisfying to watch. Keep up the wonderful work. What a skill set !
that was therapeutic watching you work your craft sir!.. horse stayed calm like he knew he was in for the pampering treatment!.. thank you
As somebody who’s only ever seen a horse stable twice in his life, much less a whole ass ranch, it is definitely alarming at first to see you nail glowing hot metal to the foot of an animal like that. But the fact that the horse didn’t even flinch made me look it up and realize how hooves are/why shoes are still made that way… makes perfect sense, but still absolutely wild to see. My feet sure as hell wouldn’t stand up to an iron shoe straight outta the forge lol
Well it's like thick as fuck cornea. Stinks to the heavens, but it's a perfect fit for the individual horse. This video was very fun to watch :D

Without the horse, there would be no horse power!
my brain still can't comprehend how a searing piece of metal doesn't hurt the horse. obviously it doesn't or the horse wouldn't have let you do it, but that's crazy to me! thank you for teaching me something new 😀
The part of the hoof that gets touched by the hot metal is the same material as your fingernails. As long as the heat doesn't touch the quick, it doesn't hurt at all.
yup, they dont feel the hoof, kind of how we cut it like this video loll
I'm impressed the smoke didn't alarm the horse, all heat aside
@@salemkittie It did seem a little curious about all the smoke, though.
Its the same stuff as your nails or hairs. It doesnt hurt to cut your nails/hairs. Nor does it to burn it. Obviously, if you put an iron on your finguernail itll hurt since your finguernails are very tin and the heat will transfer on the skin below, but the horse hooves are very thick, so the heat doesnt make it. Its the same way as wheb you iron your hairs to straighten them if you have long hairs. The temperature is well able to completely burn your flesh, but you dont feel it since your hairs are far from your head skin
If the process was in any way painful or even just too inconvenient for the horse, the horse would have reacted by pulling back its leg, moving or something, which it did not do
You sir are quite the craftsman. The shoe fits perfectly, the hoof is level, the nails all come out at the same distance, and the horse despite not having a trim in a while stayed calm and didn't fuss while you worked. All signs of a grade A farrier. I can see why you are working at the school.
This was my idea of a dream job when I was a little girl, but I now am disabled with chronic pain, chronic migraines, and vertigo, so there's no way I could do any of it now. Cheers to you sir and the horses.
Just think, somewhere out there, in another world, reality, maybe even in another lifetime, you did exactly that job, day and night until that dinner bell rang to call you home for supper. You felt good about the work you did because you knew how much the horses appreciated your skilled and expert hand, and the crafting of metal was something that always made your soul sing. You may be wearing a different 'outfit' in this life and have set yourself a different set of goals, but the ferrier will always be a part of you and you can call on his mettle whenever you need it in life❤️

I considered becoming a farrier after high school, but decided against it because of the risk of injury. However I have immense respect for both farriers and hoof trimmers, especially those with the expertise to improve really poor hoof health over time. Great work!
For the people wondering a Farrier will have several pre cast shoes in various sizes they will select the closest size to the horse they are working with and re shape it normally in this case they made them from blank as this was a working horse am guessing ? The lip at the front is to reduce slip and help stop the horse going lame and or throwing a shoe 😁👌
And the little heel?
@@stephaniex_x7275 am not a farrier but grew up on livery yard mum bred horses for dressage / show jumping so am no expert but If I remember right it's to stop the shoe slipping or twisting once fitted
@@harms-jm7gx That's so cool! And thank you.
@@harms-jm7gx maybe it's that fact that helps the horse with traction, a very firm shoe that wont slip. And being a workhorse he probably puts big stress on those hooves
I always wondered how people actually attached the shoes and seeing you nail straight into the hoof without hesitation gave me such a visceral reaction. I know it Dosent hurt the horse, but it’s so weird to see it’s just an uncomfy feeling. Still glad his feet are okay
I know me too but thankfully horse shoes help domestic horses overall ^^
Have to remember one little thing.
That nail is not going into the foot, it's going into the toenail.
It's the same as you clipping your toenails.
It goes through the wall, or outside. A farrier knows how to place the nail shop that it doesn't quick the house and cause pain.
Wow I never knew how much work went into shoeing a horse. Absolutely amazing.
I’ve never understood how much work, love and care goes into having horses. Amazing
You're right, they are a ton of work. With trimming, and shoeing the farrier is doing all of the work. When you take the horse home then the work of feeding, cleaning, grooming, and exercise is all yours.
Never ceases to amaze me how trusting and patient horses can be when people are dealing with them.
YOUNG MAN "YOU'' ARE AN EXTRAORDINARY FERRIER -
The horse trusts you and he likes you because you truly know what you're doing-
you are confident, caring and attentive to horses hooves - the horses feel comforted by by your grooming - Its obvious you alleviate their discomfort very well, Their feet look wonderful after seeing you~
I wish had a spa day like that! Real craftsmanship and care.
Horses are pretty neat, How they have so much hoof and they can't feel any of that work being done. The nails going through the hoof was what really shows you they can't feel it.
Amazing I bet the horse feels a thousand times better getting pampered I respect what these folks do
Hats off to the skill, craftsmanship and hard work these farriers possess! Additionally, the care and respect shown to these horses is really appreciated. Great post.
I've never seen the full process done and I have to say, I am amazed how beautiful it turned out in the end. What a craftmanship
That horse, he looks really happy. It's like he knows you're helping him and he's looking forward to his new "boots" :) I don't understand his calmness. Our cat literally hates having his paws touched. It's like he thinks I'm going to steal them :)

Horses are amazing. I haven't been around them much but they *are* prey animals, and the trust it takes for any creature to hand over a hoof/foot/paw is easy to underestimate.
They are trained to have their feet handled. If you start when they are real young, it works out the best.
That is truly incredible, impressive, highly skilled work. I am so grateful there are people like this farrier who love and care for these beautiful creatures.
It's nice to see when a owner of a horse has taught the horse to have their feet picked and worked on. Respect to them!!! And a job well done.
That horse is a good horse, I'm glad he got his feet trimmed. Thanks for helping keep the food on the table for everyone on the ranch! Many hays and nays to this big chunk of love and muscle ❤
This horse is getting a nice pedicure and he likes it, plus he is getting a brand new set of custom hand made shoes.
Awesome job sir, two thumbs way up.
I'm impressed. I have never understood how a skill of a blacksmith horseshoes or when the origin of a horse needed the horseshoe with the horse's relaxed animal sense to be shoed. I especially am fascinated how the years of a needed skill for an animal will never be different through the decades past...thank you!
You know, I've always wondering why anvils look like that. I get it now! Really neat to see how you use those angles to get the right shape of the shoe.
As a city boy and one who knows nothing much at all about horses, I am amazed that the animal just stands there patiently while you work on its foot. I would have loved to have had such cooperation out of my dogs. LOL
Both take training.
I think as long as the horse does not feel threatened and you dont hurt it, and with the training Cheryl said you are fine
Horses are surprisingly calm considering the shoeing process. I was a farrier for 20 years in the UK and I'd say 80% of the horses I shod stood as well as this one. The most likely ones to be difficult are young horses, but if handled properly from the beginning they're fine
Most dog folks don't teach their dogs to accept paw holdings and restraint in general from a young age. I've had young dogs scream and flip out when they're restrained for the first time
😂
It's almost like the horse enjoyed the pedicure. He just kind of took it all in and never flinched. You did a great job and your cameraman (or woman) did a great job too! Thank you so very much from this old Marine.

If you are into hooves, check out the ones on treating cattle. They aren't as compliant as horses and a whole different ballgame when it comes to foot care.
This is a farrier school, so they should have been on the cutting edge of this trend and not lagging behind it.

There’s something so friggin manly about this whole process. Great to see a master at work
My grandfather was a ferrier, and he made all shoes for different horses. I remember it still even I was a little child back then. Later on he used pre-made ones
Dudes gonna walk out to pasture to the other horses like "Air Force 1's 2022!"
He got a cute little pair of kitten heels. Also, it fascinates me that they make the shoes. I always assumed they came from a horseshoe factory
Some shoes are mass produced and sold. Sometimes the horse needs a custom shoe though.
What a difference you have made in this hoof. Thank you for sharing.🐴
Wow! Extremely educational. Never knew horseshoes were custom made, I always thought you just went to Horse-mart for new ones.
They can be custom made or pre-made.
A master blacksmith makes them like this. A lot of people buy them premade, but they still have to heat them up and bend them to fit the particular horse.
HA! Horsemart...
Well ..
There's different use for horses ...
Some jumps, some runs, some pulls, some for show ...
Even in jumping, running, pulling n shows there's some quite few differences .
So horse-mart sell different pre-made ones .
We're not the only ones, but on certain levels you have to properly shooe the horse for the specific run .
