Never thought I’d be watching videos of a guy clipping horse nails and fitting shoes and stopping bacteria while eating my cereal. I love this channel.
The school I went kindergarten at had two horses and a donkey and these videos are making really just how neglected and Miss cared for those poor Critters were
They all know how tasty hoof chews are but one must be careful. I almost lost my 6 month old pup due to a stomach obstruction caused by a chunk of rock hard petrified frog he had swallowed whole. He is no longer allowed tasty hoof treats! 5 days of intermittent vomiting before he was able to throw it up. He was under vet care at the time it was originally thought to be a stomach bug until the chunk showed up. He is not allowed hoof trimmings anymore.
Always a pleasure watching you work. Also it's nice that you don't dictate your method as being the only answer, and emphasizing that. I hope your studies are still going well. I also hope you and your loved ones, and all watching you have a blessed and safe holiday season
Does it ever amaze you that you literally have viewers around the world who find your videos so relaxing? Like I'm struggling to take care of myself yet here I am: deeply enthralled by hoof care. Also I'm a big fan of the good boi and his snacc skills.
I am an older lady & I am enjoying your channel! I admit I am just a little obsessed. I don't know anything about the care for horses. I have ridden horses about six times in my life & I know a horse will eat a bush that was burned in a fire weeks prior to me riding it. That is the extent of my knowledge on horses Thanks so much!

I love hearing you talk. It reminds me of my cousins talking about the ranch. Just humble and facts and gettin 'er done. People who work with animals or the land -- it just really grounds you.
So in other words...it’s not the navicular bone but just general soreness in the heel? Could be navicular bone. Could be deep flexor tendon. But the intervention is to relieve pressure from the region regardless of source?
As far as I'm understanding (mind you I'm only someone with general knowledge of horses and am by no means any kind of expert) there are a number of different things that can cause the pain in the heel, and the treatment varies based on the exact cause, but the over arching theme does seem to be relieving pressure
One of the things that I like most about you is that! you really do care about the horses that you take care of. It doesn’t seem to be just a job! But! Perhaps a passion or even a calling. You’re a good Man! Keep up the good work! And may God bless your future work and endeavors. To be what HE would have you be.
You have a great voice, listening to you trying to educate us is real easy. I’ve learned a lot from you. Watching you work is fascinating, you’re so sure in your movements, you’re a man who really knows his trade
Truly wonderful how you treat the horses, you do an absolutely amazing job, the quarter horse seemed very happy with you our very best wishes sue and andy j from Reading England 🏴 xx❤️
Hi I am from Minnesota and let me tell you something I love horses and I whatch your videos every day and I am planning of having horses when I get older
Thank you for another interesting video! I love your content because you are so knowledgeable and sensitive to the comfort of the horse. I live in Connecticut and don’t own a horse but I enjoy learning about them and how we humans care for them.
Thank you Sheldon, you do good explaining and I like your content. My family is from Pullman, Wa and my grandparents taught school @ WSU. So glad hear that is your school. GO COUGS!!
Many years ago I was shoeing a navicular horse, a vet/farrier Gene Ovenick [not sure of the spelling] from Wyoming or Montana created a system with aluminum shoes with several different sizes of wedges and pads, pryer to shoeing the horse was very lame but after first shoeing the owner was able to resume roping and working cattle again we were very impressed I kept shoeing him that way for several years until he started using another horse it’s good to see more tech on this thanks bro!
Please get a cadaver hoof and show the inside! I do lots of cadaver hoof dissection with cow hooves it really helps to see the inner anatomy 😊 great video!
Always good to see new content from this channel. Hope you and your family are doing well. Looking forward for the aluminum horseshoe video, keep up the content, this is really interesting
Another very informative video. Thank you so much, from Australia. It helps us to learn from you as some farriers just don’t tell us. They just speak like it’s no big deal.
Hey bro . I'm a Fan of yours from the Philippines and i Enjoy watching your videos here on RU-vid... Satisfying to see how you clean horse's foot... Godbless you Howdy
When I saw that you had a new video up, I RAN to the couch with a cup of tea and settled in to watch 😊 Is thrush more common in horses in wetter climates - like would you see it more in Washington as opposed to Arizona?
Just found your channel. Learning a lot, even though i sometimes have to pause and google translate ;) Have to watch all of your videos now! sending big thank you all the way from northern Norway.
Hello from central NY. I learn a lot about horses hooves watching your channel and it's very interesting. Happy Hollidays to everyone and stay safe. 🙂❤
Girlie got her F A N C Y Shoes!!! I’ve never seen high heeled or aluminum horseshoes before! Does being lighter weight than steel also help ease the strain a heavier shoe (such as a similar high heel but in steel) would cause? Also thank you for always including the medical facts about the conditions you’re shoeing to help! I’m a bioengineer and lifetime critter lover so This is very fascinating to me! Also, that horsie is so sweet! I love how she nuzzled you at the end!
Hello!! I’m from eastern Washington as well! I just came across these vids and they’re so interesting to watch. I’m learning a lot and I appreciate you going through and explaining everything. I read on your about page that you’re attending WSU in veterinary school, and I just wanted to drop a comment! I recently adopted a dog that came from the veterinarian school there and I thought it was neat that we live in a small world! Anyways, awesome job! Keep it up and happy new year!
I just found this channel, and I find it interesting as I really want to be an equine vet someday. I learned quite a bit, thanks for the info. Im from northern Michigan btw l.
Have you heard of stuff called tomorrow? Its in a tube like dewormer. That would help with the deep central sulcus thrush on this one . Or try cotton balls cut in half dipped in iodine shoved into the crack until you can't fit another cotton ball replace daily. I've also had great luck with hoof clay on those heels. For the 20 bucks its changed my shoeing and overall heel health in all the horses I've used it on. Also makes throwing that back nail in so much nicer when it ends up tight after the heels are healthy. Great job just my 2 cents 👍.
@@maverick_vet yeah lightly. Then notch them out with a loop knife. I tend to clip a bunch for jumping. I get a bunch off the track. About half of my horses will hot shoe. The other half freak out for a heavy burn. If I’m running my fan to blow the smoke away everyone is fine with it.
I intern at a local barn for my lessons, and I always love watching the horses get their feet done. It's a very fascinating art! What type of horses do you work more with (western, english, cart, rescue, etc.)? Much curiosity from Texas!
