Thanks for watching! Aluminum absorbs concussion better than steel which is why we choose it. Broken coffin bones need all the protection and support they can get. The mare loved the shoe!
Def looks comfortable with that shoe, not sure how she was walking before but she doesn't look a like she has foundered now, looks pretty comfortable moving
What a fantastic job you did. It’s such an amazing art! I love that the owner of the mare is standing by his horse and keeping her as comfortable as possible after finding her foundered. You see so many horses put to sleep after foundering that badly, especially if the coffin bone is badly damaged. She’s a beautiful girl and you did a beautiful job for her. Bless you.
I think Farriers are probably responsible for saving more horses from slaughter than all of the Veterinarians out there combined. I know in my area, people call the local equine Vet "the Unicorn" because while he is now a Veterinarian, he paid his way through school working as a Farrier and now in his 60s, still handles the more 'complicated' cases personally. Both of his sons are equine Vets now, and they too worked as Farriers to help pay for their schooling. I think that it is that rare combination of practical experience -- the Farrier-- combined with the expanded education as a Veterinarian that makes their practice so popular. That and the sons still go out shoeing horses and doing site Veterinary visits and only forcing people to bring their horses in when there is literally no other choice.
Beautiful job! My mare foundered but didn't have a broken coffin bone. She was in alot of pain. In my case the farrier made her comfortable with the foam, some kind of flexible putty & wrapped the whole thing in duct tape. The next day she was protesting because the vet prescribed 9 lbs of hay a day. I think she must have felt better-rearing up & talking. The first thing the farrier did was back up her toe. Farriers can do alot to help horses feel more comfortable.
Excellent and sympathetic work as always. My wife's niece is training to be a vet specialising in equine husbandry. I've told her to check out your videos. She is studying in Spain but has had to come to Britain and Ireland for practical experience where veterinary practice is far more common. I really think vets can learn from you.
I agree! I don’t really know why it sounds so “homey” and comforting. I grew up on a farm. No horses tho. My dad did have an Anvil and all kinds of hammers!
You are a healing artist! Thank you for helping this beautiful horse, you are a special human. And thank you for passing it on to your students so they can learn loving care.
That was very interesting to watch. I like seeing how you make a shoe to fit the particular horses need and that you explain very well what your doing. She looked like she was walking pretty well with the new shoe. I hope the bone will heal and she'll be ok. Thank you for what you do.
I started watching your channel a couple of weeks ago and the one thing I am surprised at, is that the owners don't appear to own Hoof Picks. My horse gets a quick brush and hoofs picked out before I tack him for a ride. Then on return to the stable I give him a good rubdown/hose which ever is required and then use my trusty hoof pick as often small stones etc can get embedded when out. I might add it is a matter of good manners to give your farrier basically clean hoofs.
In Korea, aluminum bar shoes are not usually made well. Buy aluminum bar shoes from the factory and put them on your horse's hooves. It's a great handmade horseshoe. I used an English translator so my English isn't perfect.
Looks like this horse has gone through quite a bit judging by the deep scar on the shoulder. Interesting conformation on this horse. Walks off nicely with the new supportive shoe.
I really enjoy your running commentary. Your diction is awesome, your understanding of the process is professional. I enjoy watching you work the anvil. The horse is so gentle. He seems to think you are helping him
Excellent learning video. Also THANK YOU for you and the owner for the extra help to getting the horse health. I've watched several different videos thar show case fixing the problem and very refreshing to watch a horse getting help INSTEAD of an automatic death sentence that the the US Humane society organization does when the rescue a horse from the auction. Thank you❤
Well, that's the first time I've ever seen anybody forge aluminum. 🤔 If you'd have asked me if it was possible I probably would have guessed no. You learn something new every day!
Love the interest from your pupils sat around you.. You are so considerate of the horse before anything else.. which is why you are brilliant at what you do..( pupils take note🙂)
I am in awe how you can be so steady holding all the elements so steady on the first nail. That is secondary to how you translate a few measurements into a metal shoe that fits so perfectly. Did this horse have a shoulder injury on the same left front? The muscles looked rumpled.
Dang, I’ve never seen aluminum forged like that before! Always so impressed by what I see here and thrilled to see others learning from you so the knowledge is being shared. Love this channel!
Incredible job sir, your competence, aptitude and skill are a pleasure to watch. And the awareness and gentleness for the coffin bone. Keep up the awesome work. 💪❤👍
That was fantastic to watch. I love seeing how comfortable the horse walked off after your shoeing her. Thanks for sharing your videos. The are always so informative.
hey i dont want to be the guy asking for all the nitty grity but would you be able to do a tool sharpening tutorial? also, what's the legal context of a horse repossession? is there an auction for that?
