- Today we are at the vet school horseshoeing a horse with a fractured coffin bone. We will be making a hand made horseshoe, pulling clips, and giving this guy a pour in pad to help him out.

I love Sheldon’s realism - “I’ve fast forwarded the video, I do not forge that fast”
_We know, Sheldon. We know._
Nah he is speed
@@thepinkgoblinwhounpluggedy3726 _am spəd_
Truth is he is a meta human and that part was in slow motion.
That horse was a very good boy, so patient and calm while you worked
He has probably dealt with his legs a lot already and knows he will be good for him!
It's probably also how he handles the horse.
I don't imagine it takes very long for well-cared-for livestock to learn that folks who are doing certain things to them make them feel better when they're done. Hoof trimmers, vets, groomers, etc.
@@kristideeley I can tell you as a groomer that most clients will get used to things, but some just refuse to see sense and make the groom way more of an ordeal for the both of us
@@jwolfe1209 I feel your pain. I'm a petsitter and I have had even the most skittish, difficult pups and kitties fall in love with me immediately, to the total shock of their people, but I still have a couple who just refuse to be calm and affectionate during the stay. You just do what ya gotta do throughout those ones 🤷🏼♀️
The horse was very good at lifting his foot up like right when you needed him too
Right? That was adorable :)
he is a dang good horse!
Good bois know they gotta lift their feets when you touch em
@@KeaveMind LOL like when my wife bumps my feet with the vacuum cleaner.
We had a filly at the track who was bucking and playing because she was feeling really good. Of course, being a horse and if they can figure out a way to hurt themselves, they will, she kicked the hot walker. Instead of hitting a hollow part of the machine she hit a solid steel part which broke her coffin bone (can't remember which foot behind). We sent her home and since it happened in the spring the owners had her bred. She came back to the track after two years of R&R and being a mommy. She went right back to her winning ways. What a mare.
Good story
Man. Horses. They find new and creative ways of getting hurt every day
Great job today Sheldon. You’re a very talented farrier.
BTW Flux is a fancy word for cleaning. It is used to remove metallic impurities from the welding surface and prepare a clean, solid joint.
a clean solid joint how can metal and flux make weed
Thanks! yeah I understand that part, it is more the chemistry of how it works that I was referring to that I don't understand.
@@maverick_vet Gotcha…same here. Above my pay grade 😆
@@maverick_vet heating up metal in an oxygen rich atmosphere speeds up the creation of metal oxides (ie rust), and fluxes are reducing agents, which break the metal oxides to create flux oxides (slag) and pure metal. You can get more detailed with charge differential and chemical equations, but that's the sum of it.
I think some types of flux can draw out other, non-oxide impurities, but that would depend on the specific chemical makeup, and I think that's more in the context of smelting ore than forging steel.
And not all fluxes are created equal; blacksmithing flux is very different than plumber’s flux, which is also very different than electronics flux.
God: 'I've covered the your feet in thick rings of keratin with layers of tough but slightly spongy connective tissue l to aid in shock absorbtion. You should be safe to run around as you wish without fear of-"
This horse: "I broke my coffin bone"
@Mel Hawk horses decided that they just don't cost enough to feed and house so they just have to break or wound any part of their body we can name
@@veggiestew9127 ahahah 😆
@@veggiestew9127 Naw- horses just want to have fun.
I'm very curious how much free time you have being a farrier and going to vet school. Especially with the talent and care you have for the horses, I'd imagine there's not a lot of time left over for other things. Do you manage to find time to yourself?
wholesome, i wish u a good life sir.
Man, though I knew farriers would smith shoes for fit, in my ignorance I was unaware that they’d bang-up custom shoes from scratch like that. Totally blown away - not many trades involve so much artistry, from blacksmithing, to assessments of health and movement, to carving.
Huge respect from the mountains of West Virginia. Love seeing your genuine care for these creatures.
Humility is what makes you such a good craftsman. You always give credit where credit is due. As a tradesman I understand your thought processes that you express in your videos and I appreciate that.
A true farrier actually has two jobs. One is the obvious hoof care. The other is dealing with the customer. Especially the ones that know more than you, well they think they know more than you. I can tell by your demeanor and how you talk, you have no problems with either of these
The horse offering you it's foot everytime you came near it is adorable ❤❤❤
Sheldon: I got stabbed, ripped, and burned. I just put tape on them and moved on.
Me: *popcorn burns my fingers as I pull it outta the microwave* Guess I won't use these fingers for the rest of the day.
lol
That's a very good horse. The moral of this story is don't get a horse unless you have bank, big bank
Poor boy must’ve been in a lot of pain yet he was such a good boy. Horses are such stoic creature
Not really
Such a good horse!
Calm, well behaved, picks up his feet nicely. An ideal patient.
Love how you made notes of the shoe size.
The flux lowers the melting point of metal, by using it for welding it makes the metal super soft and joint together.
They also use it for smelting to lower melting point and separate the bad stuff from the good metal
My empathy goes out to both you and the horse. You both are in pain and are both so stoic
If you could show us the horse it’d be nice. I’d like to see what type of horse inspires its owner to invest in healing broken bones, as I’ve seen so many being neglected and discarded.
I hope other farriers look at your work and are inspired to look after their clients as well as you do.
Everytime I see your videos, I just can't skip! Watching these has been kind of a bonding moment for me and my dad so even though you had no idea that would be a result of your videos, I thank you for that.
Very nice. Glad to be a part of you and your dad's life
The hands of a farrier are so intriguing. Hand working, weathered hands. Yet kind, and so precise.
A year ago I was here from boredom during lockdown. Now I’m here because I’m genuinely interested and excited about these videos.
4:30 My sister had the same injury and the same cause back around 1976 or so. She owned a horse for several years, and learned dressage and even how to do her own shoeing. I was just a preteen at the time, so I helped with feeding, cleaning stalls, picking hooves clean, grooming, etc. Anyway, seeing the injury gave me the flashback.
Great content, keep it coming! I’m glad that nail didn’t do any greater damage. Adrenaline is an amazing animal, and burns heal slowly. Praying you heal quickly. Have a happy and safe 4th if we don’t see you guys before!
i really respect how you not only admit to your mistakes, but also to when you are not fully knowledgeable on a topic or skill. you’re a great person and very entertaining to watch. have a good day :)
Hi! am a vet student from the Philippines.. am fairly new here but just wanted you to know how helpful your videos have been to me. Especially during this pandemic.. and we can't go to the actual field for our practical stuff.. seriously thank you so much.. I've shown your videos to a couple of my classmates as well and now we are all hooked.. haha.. keep it up, stay safe, and thanks again... :)
glad you enjoy them. hope vet school is going good. I have a little less than a year left in my vet program. I know how challenging it can be. good luck
My horse had a fractured coffin bone that was still healing when we bought him, it so amazing that these days we can care for and heal horses when back in the day we couldn’t. He’s the best horse with a heart of gold and I’m blessed to have amazing veterinarians and farriers that helped him in his recovery 💛
"Stand up for what you believe in." Thank you so much for that. I generally feel like too few people actually do this.
Hello from Missouri! Well, this was on my feed because I tend to like horse videos. I never knew before how skilled and technical hoof care could be! Thanks for showing me something new.
Welcome aboard!
It’s not boring; I love watching your work…
Sometimes you just got to ride the struggle bus to learn your trade - Awesome job
i don't even know things about horses but whenever you upload i'd click it right away, good work!
6:30 the way he lifted his foot up before you asked 🥺🥺 it must be sore for him to stand on.
it's crazy to me that you turned a straight metal bar into a perfect horseshoe just like that 😲 you're a badass!
Thanks Sheldon, nice of you to give credit where credit is due (Your mentor) That horse was a trooper! He had a good team working on him.
Awesome horse! I love how he was lifting up his foot for you.
6:48 I swear I can smell that videoclip! Just from like 15 year old memories 😄
Loooove watching these videos! My partner is really obsessed with horses and wants to get into veterinary work so these videos are just fuelling their passion. Watching from Brighton, UK! 💞🇬🇧
How many partners do you have?
I hope someone gave the horse some treats for his patience. Great video!
Congratulations on your final leg if your vet degree. That’s amazing for you. Love watching your work, good job. Great commentary, as it helps us follow along, and understand the process. Great! Thanks !
Seriously though! With a fracture in his foot, this horse is just being so chill.
So glad you got him taken care of! Poor boy, I can't imagine how much it must have been hurting him.
How much care you put into each horse's needs really shows, I'd watch full unsped up videos. I don't think your content could bore me
Next time you have trouble with tips like that duct tape you heels and poke a hole in the center of your board with your tip and fill it from the center. It works great. You do a great job.
Improvisation in New Zealand is called kiwi ingenuity!
I would definitely watch the entire process. Thank for recommending the other tuber👍
Hey man. I just found your channel and I have to say; after being in a depressing hospital lab job for the last 8 years, I think i've found something else I might be interested in doing. Thanks for making these and showing me a profession I didn't know existed.
Go for it brother!
Ouch👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼🍀🍀🍀🍀thank you for helping this poor animal ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🇺🇸
*Sees a new video from Sheldon - does a happy dance* Great job, and what a patient horse! I hope your fingers heal up soon, and keep up the great work! 💗
Sheldon- thank you for working toward becoming a Veterinarian. You are very talented and hard working. This is an art!
Hey! I am currently living in Georgia and your videos are so calming and really help me ❤️ I have really severe anxiety and depression and these videos bring me some calm and I can not express how much that helps me when things seem so dark. Thank you.
Its amazing how much care and love goes into shoeing these annimals. To prevent more injury and help the ammimal heal faster.
Nothing but professional, thank you
What a patient horse! I would imagine that when you're down two fingers, it's more difficult to forge and shoe a horse.
Thank you for helping the horse 💕
Update would definitely be nice , that’s a lotta hard work
You're gonna be an AWESOME vet!!!!
Great job Sheldon it's always good to see a horse cooperate with the farrier my horse is always really good about that too
Equestrian podiatry, fascinating!
“Cattywompus”. Thank you for this.
Good job as always and good, cooperative horse!🐎🐴
Hi Sheldon! Another wonderful video! Thanks so much for taking the time to share with us in your hectic schedule. Study hard!
Beautiful professional work with love to horses. I admire these crafted men!
Thank you very much!
Love seeing you trim horses. Anything else we get in your videos is a great bonus.
Glad you like them!
Your channel had taught me so much! Thank you for dumbing it down!
Happy to help!
Very nice work!
Just found your channel, you are really skilled at your job and it’s so obvious you love and care about these wonderful animals. Watching from Manchester UK, thanks for sharing your videos. Looking forward to more!
Really enjoy watching you work. Talented at the forge and caring with the horse. Thanks for sharing.
Glad you enjoyed it
I live on the other side of the country, and know almost nothing about horses or their care. Nevertheless, you make these videos easy and fun to watch. That's pretty cool.
Glad to see you on.🐴🐴
Thanks for the information it really helps to understand what is needed
i love how far the science has come in helping horses! also your videos are interesting to watch
Glad you enjoy it!
Cattywumpus, never heard it in the live before, was amazing!
I love your videos they are always calming me down ☺️ greets from Hamburg, Germany 🇩🇪
Sheldon thanks for being you. Its always a joy to see your videos. I noticed you have different shoes on!
Great work, and congratulations on being in your last year of veterinarian college!🐴
I don’t even own a horse or know anything about them but I’m finding myself wanting to be a farrier now. Love the videos!!
Hi Sheldon! I don't know much about horses, I'm loving learning! Love from South Africa 🇿🇦 ❤️
I really like your shoeing box. I've been shoeing horses and mules for over 30 years and that's the most handy box I've seen
Thanks. Very kind! Made it myself
Im Present again 👌
It’s been a while since I visited this channel, but Im glad I did. Love the work you do
Hey, just wanted to say I've been lovin all your farriering videos, its really inspiring for a person graduating getting into the agiculture world and wanting to work with horses. Ive always wanted to do some black smithing and figure out how farriering works. Thx for sharing your info when your talking about the horse it really helps the viewers understand, but anyways I'm from utah and keep up the vids sheldon your doin great.
Love, love, love!!
Great video, great work. Well done man.
Can’t wait for your next video you can’t believe how much I miss working
First time i saw that design of 🐎 a horseshoe.
I’m from the Uk, England , Norwich. Sheldon you’re the man. I love your videos just wish you uploaded more often so I haven’t gotta keep rewatching the same ones!
Lol thanks. I'm working on it
A man’s man. Yeah this hammer is hot and my nail was almost ripped off by a nail but I gotta work. I always kept super glue around for injuries at work.
Good idea, Thanks.
I live in the city but Sheldon you make me want to move to a ranch in the country and start working on horses! Great video man I can tell you’re gonna be a great vet!
I love your videos!
Great video great job thanks for sharing
When I had my horses my farrier never did burn the hoofs for their shoes but we talking a lot of years ago. Had to give up when I got disabled so I wondered why can anyone tell me. I love keeping up with these videos
GREAT VIDEOS!
Nicely done there sir
Such a fascinating job
Wow what an interesting job you have I didn’t think there was so much work into having a horse
Amazing workmanship.
Thank you very much!
Great video. Always want to see more videos. Yes would like to know. Take care.🐴🐴🐴🐴💙💙🙂
