- This horse had a laminitic episode about 2 years ago and today I take you through how I have managed his feet back to healthy. It's a bit of a lengthy video but I wanted to include everything. Enjoy

FINALLLY, I found a farrier who is gentle with the hoof. You can tell you love the animal as well as your job!!
Thank you.
It is the way a farrier treats his client, how they react to the environment around them, what they observe about their client “the horse”
Your explanations as you go about your work, about what your doing and why and what’s going on with this particular horse is great.
I’ve just started watching your channel, I watch quite a few farriers around the world to see who great and who’s terrible and I feel for those horses and donkey’s who are badly affected by a uncaring farrier.
But your pretty good. Your are respectful of the horse and I appreciate your work. I shall continue to watch your channel, thank you. The horses in your care will appreciate your work as well and would say so if they could and so will the owners. Congrats
Much appreciated. Thank you.
I love the different approaches each Hoof trimmer has. 1 older guy I was watching once said I learn new things all the time, and he was doing it for 21 yrs.
Absolutely right. I think that's all part of the journey and why they call the highest form of certification through the AFA(American Farrier's Association) "Certified Journeyman Farrier" (CJF), because it's a continuous journey of learning.
Never thought about that before: Call them journeymen because it's a continuous journey of learning. Well said.
I love a farrier who knows his stuff. I can watch for hours. I especially admire a ferrier who is patient and gentle with corresponding with the horse he's working on. You're all that. I think I missed my calling, I would have made a great ferrier. 😊
My favorite part is the clipping of the overgrown hoof, and cutting the Hoof. Reminds me of cutting a coconut, or soap cutting, if that makes sense. Oddly satisfying to watch❤️❤️❤️
Thank you for explaining the "whys and wherefores" for each of the different issues the horse has with it's hooves... How you "fix" them as you're shoeing them, and the effect it will hopefully have long-term.
My favorite part of horseshoeing is watching the blacksmith making a special shoe to fit that is comfortable to the horse.
Favorite part is the care the horses receive especially when farrier seems to really have love for each of them.
Also I enjoy the general knowledge that I pick up when I watch you you guys work. Thank you for that.
My favorite is knowing that what you're doing is a necessity and without y'all before sleep would be in bad shape.😊
I love that the hooves are balanced. You are very miticious and very talented
My favourite part is when you're building a shoe, thats just an amazing skill, although I do enjoy watching all of it together, from cleaning the foot right to nailing and finishing on the shoe 👌🏻💯✅
I love like pretty much every aspect of it. I like that the main purpose is to help the horse and how many different types of shoeing and trimming has come about over the years in order to help make horses more comfortable. That’s why I like watching every aspect. I like the videos that explain, and there’s only 3 or so who do. I’m looking forward to what else is to come from this channel. Oddly enough the other genre I watch on CZcams is motocross and supercross, trail riding and cycling. I cycle myself so the extras on this channel It’s like a bonus for me.
I like learning. I know very little about horses. I like everything you do.
I like watching the whole process, with explanation. Thanks
I like the hoof triming, all actually good jobs well done and when the farrier is genuinely working with thair horse and putting the hooves back down gently the horse knows 👍 ❤
It whole process that fascinates me. Half the time I don't know what you mean being a total nerd. But I thoroughly enjoy it. Thanks
I enjoy learning as I watch. I especially like seeing the more complex cases that are trying to correct or preserve a horses foot and soundness.
I like stories! This was perfect. Only thing more perfect is if we'd got in on the ground floor. My favorite part is when you trim the horse. It's all good! :)
Thank you! I’m sure I’ll have some horses in the future that I can film from ground zero. I’ve thought about that how it would be entertaining/educational for people to see when something like this initially happens.
I like to watch the reaction/behavior of the various horses, especially when the farrier has to get close to the live parts of the shoe. That's when I feel sorry for the horse, . . . and for the farrier.
I love the cate each GOOD Farrier takes with each animal it takes care of. Be it a foal being rasped for the first time or an older horse who's been there done that. That's what I love about a a GOOD Farrier. Best Regards from a Retired Paramedic, a S&R Dog and Handler Team Trainer and Horse Trainer in Ontario, Canada, Jenn 💖
I just found you . I have always loved horses they are so majestic . I have found it interesting listening to your explaining how and why you are doing the things you are doing.
Omg, a farrier that speaks and explains the process 😍! You seem to really care about the horse and your job. Love it!
Great video, I like the idea of pouring the pad. I have not seen it done here in Australia . Cheers Brendan
Just wanted to say that I enjoy watching you work on shoeing horses. I've watched other farriers and they usually don't talk much. I like that you explain things. Keep making videos and I look forward to watching them.
Appreciate that! That’s what I’m trying to do with my videos, be a little different than everyone else and share with the audience what my trade is about. Thanks for watching!
I like it all. Anything that you do is for the overall good of the horse.
I love your work ethic brother goog ole American work. Hope to see a lot more
Very professional, I enjoy your videos.
So great to have found your channel!!
Would love to see barefoot chronic Cushing's laminitic pony foot restoration from long toe to normal...
I really enjoyed your video!
New subscriber and will continue to watch and learn!
Please explain why and the purpose for the burn shoe?
Excited from Middle River Maryland Baltimore County!
I am finding your videos very well done. Your calm demeanor around the horses is fantastic. I like all the parts of your working on the foot, but I most enjoy the trim work and your great attention to balance and all the details you talk about as you do the work. I am getting a better understanding of the what's and whys of each step according to each horse's foot. Would you ever be interested in showing the cross section of a horse's lower leg and hoof and explaining how lameness is treated when you are shoeing a horse?
Thanks for kind words! I'll try to add that in a video in the future.
Gidday mate how are you going.just want to say that the work you do on this beautiful horse is amazing well done my freind good job.kind regards Gregory lee from Melbourne Victoria Australia. 😁🖐👍🏻
Thanks 👍
Just discovered your channel. I liked, subscribed, and will go back and watch previous vids.
You get some really great comments. I learned some things just reading them. You can always tell good CZcams presenters, because they get the best comments from followers.
I know you've already done this in other vids, but I would like to know more about burning. I've never seen a good description. Why is it done?
Just saw a vid with a horse that would absolutely not tolerate burning. The farrier had to make some allowances, but did not explain them. The horse was otherwise very well behaved. (And the farrier is otherwise good to watch.)
Loved when you showed the inside of the shoe after burning. Very interesting.
Enjoyed watching how you built the mesh onto the shoe. Have never seen farriers that show themselves working "behind the scenes" at their truck. And you are so relaxed, calm, and confident while doing it.
Your explanations are great. I liked the overlaid explanations (in red letters). They helped a lot. I think you could do that a little bit more.
Did not like the music and other background talking noise. That talking shows up on CC, which I need for a hearing problem. Very distracting.
P.S. Absolutely loved the Kong dog toy. Very clever and practical.
Best wishes from Cleveland, OH
Thank you for the explanation and information.
I like watching you do your job. And how much you love the animals
Thank you. I try to do the best I can for each horse!
Brilliant video. The care you show for the horse is fantastic
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it.
It is good to see a ferrier that has consideration for the horse. As you do sir. I can see that from the way the horse is relaxed. Even resting his foot. Well done 👍
Everything about the contest would be interesting I think.
Well, I'll be trying to go to one in July and I'll try to capture as much content from it as I can!
I love this content! Thank you! You are very talented Sir
I appreciate that!
I like watching the forging the best!! And also the none typical shoeing. Like the build up and the big draft horses. Would love to see you shoe a Clydesdale or a big Persian!!
Well I currently don’t have any draft horses on my books so I’m not sure when the next time I’ll shoe one is! Maybe I can reach out and see if any of my friends have draft horses on their books I can tag along and film them. Thanks for watching!
Awesome mate, love your work 👌👌
Thank you! I appreciate it.
Watching you i learn so much thank you ❤
The area becomes easier to work on if you heat it up first. I just watched another farrier do it. It peeled like butter and doesnt damage or burt the horse that i saw.
Building the shoes. I love watching all of the ferrier work but Building the shoes is the number one part of all of the work
Like everything you do, so keep up the great videos, thanks 😊😊 6:46
Enjoy watching your videos and the way you care for the horse...
You asked what is our favorite part of the craft. With you, I appreciate the explanations you give about what you are doing. But, I was wondering if there is a hoof you won’t work on. I would love to see a makeover on hooves the are over grown.
Well I’ve certainly had my time where I took on quite a bit of horses that were overgrown but now I don’t really take on many new horses and everyone is going to be seen very consistently. If I get the chance, I will do a video!
I need a Farrier that will do that for my horse. I moved a while back and finding a Farrier period was hard. The one I found that would come isn't into padding in anyway. He's run ragged because most of the horses are owned and trimmed by the Amish and he's more into denistry.
I don't know diddly-squat about horses, shoeing, farriers etc...I was watching animal rescue videos on YT, and saw a fella fix this poor horses hooves that were out of control. I found it oddly mesmerizing. I saw a repair video from the UK using resin. Perhaps you can tell me about the equipment & tools that you use in your routine. I already found out about the burning...
Good video as always👍
Thank you! Much appreciated.
Great video
Great videos, always interesting
Thank you!
I like cleaning and trimming the hoof best; next is the gentleness of the farrier.
I like seeing a horse get good care
I try to do the best I can for each and every horse I care for!
First time watching your CZcams channel. You were asking about content if you haven't talked about it I don't know but if you want to go through all your equipment from your chats to your do your knives to your supply that you have in your truck what you like what you don't like which ones you do like better what ones you have done just all around background on all of your equipment and why you like it. And since I'm new to all this if you could put it in layman's terms it would be appreciated.
I love seeing what you do to help individual horses. I can’t tell this horse had any rotation from looking at the hooves.
Question: the old scars on this horse’s heels suggest that he has a significant tendency to overstep. What can you do to help with that?
Good observation seeing those scars but they’re actually old wire cut scars from when he lived in Montana as a young horse before the owner purchased him and brought him to western Washington.
3 minutes into the video….I NEED A HORSE !!! 😂😊
How much extra charge goes into adding the hoof support over just a trim and shoe? I like the whole process from pull off to final finish sanding. Nice job.
I appreciate hearing that. The price ranges on size of feet and with inflation these days it's gone up a bunch so roughly around $100 more.
Thank you for sharing and teaching! When working on a horse that has hooves which run forward as this one does can you ever get to the point of getting the hoof so that it doesn’t stretch out the lamina and therefore the hoof starts to stand up more rather than run forward? May the Lord bless you and your work abundantly.
I like the sole clearing, best part of farriering.
My l least favorite is the music. I watch many a- farrier and bee catchers, hut building and other bushcraft, and stuff. And i assure you, it's better to just allow the footage to keep rolling: recording both audio & video as you do. Because also, not only is it okay to allow the viewers to hear the natural sound of the environmemt, while you work quietly until you do want to say something, it's preferable. I know it might feel awkward at first, but you'll get used to it.
Not to mention that the way too loud tunes wrecks the whole ASMR experience of it all. So, please don't add it post- production.
Light the blacksmith part of it.
Good to know! Stay tuned for future videos, I have some forging/blacksmithing videos in the works that’ll be coming out soon.
If you tap your file agaisnt the floor you're on while filing, you'll be able to clear it off hoof without having to stop to get the brush and clean and making it take you longer. This appears to be backbreaking work and the more time you're having to stand so awkwardly fit as long.
Also, is there some reason you guys don't use stools to sit on to mediate the effects that standing like that gives.
LOL... I'm curious if when you're done the horse thinks, "Ahhhhhh...that feels sooo much better!!"
They may! Most importantly it maintains a healthy hoof and healthy feet then turns into them being able to do their “job” (what I call just simply being a horse) to their full potential safely, and healthy. Thanks for the compliment!
Bellota razor plus?
Those rasp definitely clog up quick.
Slick work 👍
Save Edge Original. I used to use Bellota actually but they clogged more than save edge haha.
I think a horseshoe contest would be fun to video I’d like to see that.
Check out the latest video I just uploaded from a contest in New Mexico!
My farrier, got him self a flur camera took pictures of my boy legs and all of his body..we could see the cool spots and hot spots..he was very interested in my horse's hooves bei g he had put shoes on him and the following week my boy was hit by lightning charge...he's ok so far that wss back in 2012..my boy is now 15..he was a 4 yr old when it happened ...
The farrier was looking to see if he had good blood flow in his hooves..
best part is the trim and forge
What were Hawk's rotation values? When was he allowed to be truly exercised after the corrective shoes were put on?
I like trimming but building the horse shoe is interesting
How long does it take for a horse to grow back its hoof, when its in very bad shape(laminites)? For instance, how long?
I see that you didn't take much off the hoof wall and the frog too.after the laminated episode.
what is the use case for those mesh pads? im wondering if that is a product specific for laminitis or if there are other situations they would be beneficial?
I also have a question.... When do you do 2 side things (dont know what you call them, the bits that stick up to help hold the shoe in place) and when do you do 1 at the front, and why or how do you decide, whats best? 🤔🤗
In what circumstance is it okay for a horse to be barefoot or without shoes?
Where do you get your farrier chaps from?
And why are there Clips on Horseshoes and why are they front and side and quarter and also why do some horseshoes not have clips. What are they four?
Let me first clarify that I'm not a farrier and I'm also not a big fan of metal shoes on horses that aren't worked 4 hours or more every day outside a sandy arena, so take my comments and questions with a grain of salt. I'm looking at these hooves and to me, it looks like he's rather tall in the back. You appear to top dress the hoof so that you've removed all of the hoof horn at the front. You never trim the front of the frog to actually find the apex of the frog - not that that would be really helpful in locating a rotated coffin bone, but I've never seen you do it on any horse. And it's my understanding that you should 'rocker' or make his roll over easier by removing toe to take as much leverage off the front lamini to prevent further stretching so the lamini can follow the front of the coffin bone as it should and mild cases of laminitis can be reversed over the course of a year? You do make a 'pretty' foot and I love how you handle the horses and long time clients (the horse) obviously trust you. You do forge wicked shoes from bar stock so I know you have years of training behind you. It's just these few points that bother me. With this horse in particular, you seem to have restored some concavity to his foot, but it's earned with heel height and not depth of sole. You seem to want to just stabilize what's there and make a foot that looks 'correct' to the owner rather than working with what you have and trying to correct it for the horse's long term health. If I were in need of a farrier in your area, I'd certainly make use of you, but I'd be looking over your shoulder and asking a lot of 'why's and 'how come's. I'll certainly keep watching. And as to what I'd like to see is more mapping of the foot and problem feet - horses that really need a shoe to correct something, as in the landing of the foot..., walking before and after video, especially in slo-mo and any changes you've manage to make.
I guess I'm not sure how to answer this because you say you are not a farrier but yet you have a lot of opinions on how things should be done and they are valid opinions. I think your way of thinking that I have not defined the apex of the frog is off.I have x-rays showing the amount of rotation which then in turn tells you how much dorsal hoof wall to remove. And with these shoes, they did get a rocker(I know because I just reset them yesterday actually) and the strongest structures we have in the world are, "arches" and when you create an arch or concavity to the foot, you are giving it strength. This horse's feet were really flat when I started shoeing him a couple years ago.
How many horses do you shoe a day on average ? Also is washingston state having any afa certs coming up thanks
I shoe about 4-6 horses a day. Sometimes varying between halves and trims as well. I'm not completely sure about certs, check the FAWS website or the AFA website.
Hello new subcriber from Australia
I own racehorses Throghbreds
Is the chemical reaction warm because it looks like the horse didn't care for it?
Can you burn a shoe on too much on a horse's foot?
He’s a good boy! Always wondered why the shoes are burned on….
Hawk is a very good boy for me to shoe!
Why do you burn the hoof with the shoe
I'm an upcoming Ferrier, have any advice?
Find someone to apprentice under. Even if it means little to no pay.
Very farrier has thair own way and techniques of shoeing a horse 🐎
I am that you're showing I am enjoying every bit of it
What is the purpose of burning the shoe onto the foot
Mainly making sure that the shoe fits.
wonder what THAT cost???
Do you have horses of your own? Maybe introduce us
Why don't farriers put toe clips on the back feet instead of quarter or side clips?
Oh we do. Just not as often, for me per say, because of the discipline of horses I shoe. I shoe a lot of sport horses and with quarter clips you can come off the toe with the shoe a little bit to provide a little safing if the horse were to over reach and grab a front hoof. Generally at competitions every foot will be toe clipped because it's the hardest test of fitting a foot. No where to hide if your shoe doesn't fit.
@@USAfarrier-pnwfarriershow I would like to see a session on the do's and the don't of toe clipping the hind's..
I just don't like the idea of interference with any hoof expansion that side clips might have. I use heavy Borium on my shoes and the clips help the strains on the nails. Thanks
I hear ya. Essentially toe clipping hind feet is going to be the same as front feet. If your side clips or quarter clips are fit up correctly, they should be flush with the outer hoofwall. There's a lot of people out there that use store bought shoes that are pre-clipped and don't know how to properly fit clips so they just use their hammer and bang them fold them onto the hoofwall where they are protruding and not flush. With them fit that way, you could have an injury if the horse interferes with opposing leg. I'll try and get a video together of properly fitting clips. Toe clips, quarter clips, and side clips.
@@USAfarrier-pnwfarriershow thank you, I have been shoeing my own horses for the last 42 years, but I always look forward to getting better!

I would like to see a farrier fit a shoe to the hoof without burning the hoof to fit the shoe.
Occasionally there are horses that come onto my books that don’t like the smoke from the burn but it’s honestly more inefficient for me to do so. Shaping hot and fitting hot is a lot easier because it gives you a direct reference on where the hoof fit is in relation to the shoe. Thanks for watching!
That's some weird music you have there.
PET THEM WHILE YOU WORK
what’s wrong with his right rear hoof. He doesn’t want to pur weight on it. He is a beauty.
Anyway that didn't come out right I am new to your show and I am enjoying every bit of it
