This is certainly a new one for me. I've got a soft spot for these gentle giants. I'd love to see a post-op follow up if they bring him back for another shoeing!
To the several people who are 'hoping he makes it to a vet' - right at the beginning it is made perfectly clear that he's already under a vet and surgery is planned.
Thank you for posting this video, it is always so interesting to watch the shoes being built from scratch. I hope that horse makes it to a vet and hopefully comes back to your facility so we can have a follow up video .
He looks pretty underweight too, I take it that he's been rescued? Hope he gets the care he needs, looks like you did a great job of setting him up for healing.
Sometimes if they're in pain from something like that long enough, their appetite goes off. He could be older, too...sometimes older horses have trouble keeping weight on...
He looked older, and sometimes older horsed have a hard time keeping weight on. His other hooves looked good and same with the uninfected side of his hoof. From what i heard him saying the normal vet was trying to take care of it but now they have to find a specialist which can be difficult
Thanks for such an informative and interesting video. I always learn something significant from you. Too bad I'm 70+ yrs old or I'd do my best to get to Idaho and study Farrier Science at your school. The way you work and your understanding of veterinary requirements of your patients is inspiring. Any horse that crosses your threshold is a really lucky horse.
What a phenomenal job of work .I hope the poor afflicted boy feels the benefit and is able to seen by a vet and have his foot taken care of. Thank you❤
You sir, are an artist! I hope you have a lot of young people to follow in your footsteps. We need to preserve all the useful skills that are slowly going away.
Love watching you make the shoes, I find it very relaxing, you're incredible at what you do, beautiful horse, hope he can find comfort and relief, thank you so much, take care guys.👍💙🐎
This is amazing to watch. I had no idea what he was planning to do until he almost had it finished. This is a true work of art being able to make something that will truly help this poor horse from a piece of steel. Great work!
Wow, the comparison between a regular horseshoe and his was eye-opening. The shoe you created looks like it will work well for him until the vet can perform the needed surgery to get all the necrotic tissue removed. I love your channel. I don't have horses anymore but all the new methods are incredible. God bless you and yours from Yuma Arizona.
Man... With that horses body condition, it has been suffering severe neglect for a long time. Wish yall could work with a rescue, that way neglectful owners could just surrender the animals that they so clearly dont care about.
Wow I’m so impressed with your incredible talent !! So happy to see these big ones getting your help ! I absolutely love these drafts ! Awesome job ! thanks for sharing. Sure wish I could follow his progress.
True artistry. Channel deserves 1M subscribers!😊. PS: Just saw how skinny the horse is in the closing shot. Hopefully when the owners watch this they will realize it as well.
Hope this Mr. Horse feels healthy again soon! ❤ What a great work you did! Thank you very much! What kind of horseshoe will he need, when the vet did his work? Will we be able to watch it?
Will you be assisting the veterinary surgeon with the de-briding trim around the infected collateral cartilage or will they do it under general aesthetic behind closed doors? Vets probably feel that it needs to be an aggressive trim to clean up the quittor but some vets wave around their hoof knife like Bruce Lee & then the farrier is left with the suppurating & bloody aftermath of that exposed & sensitive medial ground surface , to the point that a full support heart bar is then needed to be applied.
Why didn't the owner have the problem taken care of when it started? I thought that you are supposed to have a farrier look and take care of a horses hooves every 4 to 6 weeks. Thank you for helping this horse.
You did a great job for the horse and I know he feels better getting the pressure off that side of his hoof and hope the vet can do what he needs to do and get him well.
Thats amazing what knowledge and talent you have, youre a god send for these poor horses that need special help from people like yourself love watching keep doing the good that you do
I would love to see an update on this after the Dr. does his work. You did one hell of a great job on this one. Thanks for sharing and have a nice safe day!1
