Wow, that is so amazing. I'm afraid of horses but I do love them as majestic beasts and this video is wonderful for someone like me who cannot get close to horses. Very magical. Thank you for sharing.
I have recently read that the temps can be a factor on whether or not the sensitive laminae feels the heat. Red hot what I read is too hot and that you can get nice burn from a less hot shoe. I don’t personally know shit, just what I read while trying to become a farrier. Loving your videos by the way!!!!
Thanks. Super red isn’t always the best. We did it for video purposes. It’s actually more about the amount of time it’s on the foot rather than the temp in most cases
@@a5ranch594you are saying red hot isnt best, but you did it anyway for producing the video you wanted. Ummm, you couldnt use a fake horse leg to make your point? All you are doing is charring a horseshoe print onto the horses hoof. It doesnt mean you made a perfect fit though. Youd get a proper seal and fit using clean filings straight across both outside edges of the hoof, nailing shoe on and rounding the metal so its smooth next to the hoof edge. One week after charring or melting the keratin the hoof is made of and the only thing you end up with is dead material that can be picked away and blown off just like the remaining char on a fire log.
@@GretchenDupree I agree with you, I cold and hot shoe but I'd PERSONALLY try to keep horses out of shoe's. I find that a lot of hot shoeing farriers tend to make clients go into shoeing THEY DON'T NEED!!! Its all about a dollar $$$$$$$ vs whats right for the horse.
What if the shoe doesn’t fit right the first time you burn it on? Does the shoe have to fit perfect with all final tweaks done before burning it on? Is burning it on the final step before nailing it on after all adjustments have been made? Can you still make adjustments after burning it on the first time and then go back and burn it on again as many times as needed until you get the right fit?
I've never done any hot shoeing or even forged my own shoes. Farrier work aint easy at all its a back breaking job. I always buy pre forged shoes might have to give them alittle bend to fit the hooves right.
Holy hell.. At KHS we would've been toasted by our lecturers and farriers for burning on a red hot shoe! You still get a great burn and fit at grey heat. I'm not impressed
No it dosent hurt the horse Pure nearly sets the horse on fire 😂😂 Yes I know it dosent hurt I just got my loan horses shoe off and it’s really cool too watch
Horses don’t have nerve endings in the bottoms of their hooves, only the very top. If your nails were long and you put a lighter under it would it hurt?
I don't want to burn the end of my fingernail. . . extremely close to my finger, like if my fingernail flames up like that horse hoof did, my whole damn finger is gunna catch on fire.
not all horses need shoes, it depends on the type of work the horse does or it can be done for a horse with sensitive hoofs If horses are on concrete or asphalt/the road (like driving horses) its better for them to be shoed because their hooves are fragile. Horses on pasture that only walk on dirt and grass might not need shoes unless they have hoof problems
Hello fellow therian! No. They don't. The hooves are literally just their toe nail. If you cut too deep, that's where the nerves are. As you can see, this is not that deep. If it hurt the horse, the horse would've kicked him into the afterlife.
Ummm i think that could hurt the horse sometimes. Maybe not all the time but that was red hot, even if you had a thick thumbnail if you put something hot on it you might not feel it at first but youre gonna feel it eventually. That just seems way to hot if its bursting into flames.
If you’ve ever interacted with a horse you’d know that if it’s uncomfortable or in pain it WILL make you well aware. If that horse was in pain, that dude would be knocked over in 2 seconds. The hoof has no nerves.
