we are animal caretakers, we do the best we can, people call us when they need help and nobody wants to go... We listen to those who don't have a voice to ask for help...
This is wonderful and thanks for the education. So happy this horse and others you attend to get the compassion and care they need. Heaven grace your work.
Fantastic job to the farrier for the work done on this horse, and thank you guys for doing English voice overs for the wider audience, love your videos too, tfs x Julie 🇬🇧
I’m impressed at how well the hoof looks (outside of the white line disease) after the trim. So often hooves that long and neglected end up with significant flares causing the hoof to appear deformed. Such good quality hooves, it’s a shame to see them ravaged by white line disease. So happy y’all took the time and effort to go out of your way to help this horse and owner.
@@kayBTR, no. Founder or laminitis (although interchanged a lot are not necessarily the same thing) is an inflammation of the sensitive laminae. The white line itself is where sensitive and insensitive laminae connect. It also pretty much holds the hoof wall, or insensitive laminae if you will, to the sensitive laminae. Basically holding the hoof together. White line disease is an anaerobic bacteria or fungus( I’m old, I forget details) that eats away at the white line, destroying the connection of the hoof wall to the hoof. Some say that it is the same bacteria responsible for thrush, others say it is similar. They are both anaerobic and need to be exposed to the air. A lot easier to do with the frog than the white line. While thrush is typically a result of wet conditions, white line disease is indiscriminate and can strike regardless of moisture conditions, husbandry etc. Sorry if that was overkill. I can’t do the work outside of my own animals anymore, but I wish I could. This gives me an opportunity to feel as though I’m at least doing some good somewhere.
I can understand a shortage of farriers could be a problem. Cows can have white line troubles, and it is a constant battle to notice and do healing. Very sorry the horse developed White Line trouble and the severe crack. Where I live, there is a good horse veterinarian. He also has reasonable prices. People were literally driving several states to bring horses for care. Interesting horse shoeing, Idaho Horseshoeing School. That was a lot of damage you had to work on. Best wishes on helping the horse recover health in that hoof. Thank you for doing an explanation in English.
Ransom beautiful and precise. It was a pleasure to watch the cleaning and knowing the horse knows how much better his feet feel makes it all the more pleasurable to watch. Excellent work and vid! Thank you
I like how the horse was allowed a moment to rest after pulling its hoof away. It’s great to see a farrier take into account the horse’s need to have a break.
Thank you for helping this magnificent 🐎. How long will it take for horses feet to heal? Please God grant wisdom and compassion to horse owners to be more responsible. Please God continue to bless the healing hands that trim the horse's feet. Amen
Peter W I agree with you. But we have to endure almost neglect because the veterinary offices (if available) mostly do a bad job, in my opinion they can`t be real animal lovers.
Did you not listen? There is no farrier in that area they made a special trip. They aren't in America they don't have everything they need within a phone call away
You could use the translation function of your computer which is free of charge and very quick. If you want to know how to get a translation I could explain it here.
If a horse-owner can't get a trimmer for a long time, he (as a greenhorn) should 1) as a preventative measure keep the stable, the paddock and the pasture particularly clean. 2) scrape the rotten, smelly horn off the frog and the sole with a hoof-knife, tea-spoon or something similar. Eyes and nose will inform you whenever this is necessary. Of course, this is an emergency measure only.
Great work..I hope it heals ..I paid a woman way back in the 90's to come to my home and teach me th mustang roll as I wanted barefeet..it was a lot of $$ up front but well worth it as I could maintain a trim every 5-6 weeks on my own..as always prayers and blessings to all
Fantastic before & after. We have a horse that had a bad cut or tears in his frog, They were deep, Plus what I thought was thrush, so we’ve been treating the deep injuries, Cleaning & applying various medications to see what works , daily treatments, cleaning, meds & wrapping to avoid dirt getting into deep wounds. But with rain almost daily the wraps would become wet & seemed to create their own problems over last few days, So with his frog about 95% healed, I elected to leave off the wrapping for a couple days to allow the hoof to dry out. But as I cleaned it today, I became aware that I believe he also had white line disease, as I see separation along hoof wall, and it’s white flaky ...we’ve been treating it for over a month now, So it’s better but we aren’t out of the woods. So now I have something new to address, hopefully I’ve caught it in time.
Everyone needs to keep in mind a few things... It isnt productive to shame the owners, the fact that they cared enough to reach out for help is very brave of them. They couldve just shot the horse because it was so lame or even worse, never reached out for help at all and let the horse suffer many more years. Being a ferrier is extremely hard on the body esp, knees and the back. most ferriers that i know of, can only do the profession for average of 8 years. So it is very possible that the owner's previous ferrier could not do it anymore and there was no one to take over. Another thing to remember is that he said the owner requested Renalto to come out, which means the owner never stopped trying to find someone to trim this horse. Finally, in Canada, ferriers arent allowed to trim hooves to the extent that Renalto does. Only a vet can trim/treat it that far. Renalto and everyone at OpenGate are angels for helping the animals without shaming the owners
A first cousin of mine was a farrier. He was from an affluent family and my aunt especially couldn’t stand him driving around a pickup truck with his tools, etc. She wanted him to go to college and be a professional like a doctor or lawyer. He liked being a farrier and considered doing what he enjoyed. He needed some extra setting up his business so he took a job on an oil rig in the Gulf of Mexico. He was killed on the oil rig when a piece of equipment fell out of the top of the derrick and struck him in the head. He died in July 1973. He was a good young man!
The owner who let this issue go so long doesnt need to own animals. This isnt something that happened overnight or even a month. Hopefully this ferrier will oversee this horses progress. Nice job
It was clearly stated that the owner had to convince the farrier to come a long way to take care of the horse because there are no farriers in the area. It happens, whether we like it or not.
@Laura Berlin If that were to happen here, there would be no excuse. Load him in a trailer or if you had to rent one. If a person isn't able to provide medical attention when it's needed, then the person needs to get rid of it, or the authorities will come in and take the animal, and the person would go before the judge.
@@layner68 , here in the United States, you are 100% correct. Unfortunately many regions of the world are not as fortunate as we are. If this happened here, not only would the animal be confiscated, the owner would also face charges and probably be prohibited from having animals again.
@@Wranglerlaura lol, even well taken care of horses can get white line disease. This hoof was overgrown but not excessively so. A horse would never be taken from its owner for so minor an issue. That's just silly.
@@GaelicMosaic, you’d be surprised. There’s crooked officials everywhere. First time I saw white line disease was a mare on a strict hoofcare regiment. White line disease does not discriminate and once it starts can do some horrific damage.
It's like why?? Can't get the feet done on a regular bases you don't need to have a horse. 2 YEARS!!!!!! UNEXCEPTABLE!!!!!! At least every 8 wks, people think they can pull the shoes and ignore it for years😡
Dear God poor baby 💔😥 Would a pad of helped the bottom And antibiotics with a cover helped As well Please give updates 🙏🏼 This could had been completely prevented by The owner" They could had cleaned and trimed the hooves themselves! Every horse owner knows how!!! Thats just lack of care" for There horse" no excuse!!
Linda Chandler ....by moving a lot: Horses graze up to 16 hours a day. And by moving on hard ground when hooves are too long and the other way round when horn must grow.
It's a bit like with dogs where when you walk them on pavement their nails wear down. Wild horses move a lot like the other commenter mentioned, but they are also on a variety of terrain like rocks and sandy washes. This horse looks like it's kept on grass and soil looks like clay. Not much to naturally wear the foot down.
Agora os gringos vão ver um trabalho de qualidade e animais sendo tratados com carinho , Renato é muito caprichoso nos cascos e tem as ferramentas adequadas,tem uns aí no RU-vid que apara os cascos com cavadeira kkkk
Translation: Now the gringos will see quality work and animals being treated with affection, Renato is very careful with the hooves and has the right tools, there are some on RU-vid that trim the hooves with a digger 😄
The damage the horse has sustained due to not providing care for such a long time has left the hoof with some pretty significant damage. You are doing a good job of removing/cleaning and, as you say, it is not pretty but will have been greatly improved by you. How long will it take for the hoof to grow out cleanly and attain symmetry? How soon and often will you have to revisit your work to assure that you get the good results that you seek? Thanks, Tom
White line disease is an anaerobic bacteria so exposing it to the air helps weaken it. Also, the area still needs to be treated on a regular basis like any wound so keeping it open ensures access. Epoxy would most likely trap bacteria and exacerbate the problem.
i dont know anything about horses but came across your video. When nailing the shoe ......dont the nails ruin the horses nails ? what about gluing them on ? how long will it take to regrow the horses nail ?
Great job in fixing the hoof. The camera person needs to make sure the subject is in the viewfinder. Most annoying not being able to see what is going on.
For the bacteria, would using the blue stuff and/or iodine on it and wrapping it with gauze or putting some type of hardening putty help alleviate any reoccurring bacteria while the hoof is growing back out?
Anaerobic bacteria grow without oxygen. Covering it with anything airtight allows it to keep growing. Initially using betadyne sure..but the real infection stopper is just what you saw..open it up to the air
I have noticed the "wall" has started to separate a little bit on my goat's hoof. Should I be worried about something similar happening? 🥺 I keep his hooves trimmed.
