Open Gate, this mare remembers Renato. She's not fighting him hardly at all. And I don't think the other person who came, didn't take their time with her, like Renato does. That makes a huge difference to the horse. If you saw, when she took her foot away from Renato, as soon as he asked for it again, she was already lifting it up for him!! She TRUSTS Renato. Love from your friend, the Retired Paramedic and Horse Trainer in Ontario, Canada, Jenn 💖 🇨🇦
This is abuse. She is in so much pain. There is no excuse. If you own livestock you are responsible for the care and health of each and every one. Thank you for trying to help her.
That's got to be one of the worst hoof conditions I've seen on a youtube video. I've watched quite a few donkey and cow videos, but this poor horse's foot looked especially painful. Thanks for helping the horse to have relief.❤
I saw a farrier on utube that makes hard soles for damaged hives. They go over the entire hoof just like a hoof. It protects the damaged hoof and is very strong and u can see through it. Even put a shoe on it. I can’t remember his name but that would help so many of these neglected hooves. ❤
When i see a horse in this condition, it makes me both angry, and sad. There is no reason whatsoever for a horse to be in this shape! If the owner cant afford to have a Farrier and/or Vet treat this, then they shouldn't be an owner.
unfortunately many people view animals as nothing more than property, and many of them would call you "woke" for suggesting that animals be treated ethically
I can't see that this work being done, is going near far enough. Look to me that the hoofs should have been cut back al ot further, and the frog should have been cleaned
@@charliemcsorley6286 Gotta do what the horse allows. She's probably extremely uncomfortable and going much further in a single session could've stressed her too much.
Maybe he determined that shoes were too heavy and the hoof would just continue to crumbe😢? Just wondering, how many horses in this condition have you worked on?😂
@@charliemcsorley6286 There are glue on shoes which could be glued onto the hoof, removed easily after a month or 6 wks for further treatment, cleaned and put back on.
There are some techniques that would use an epoxy for this, but simply filling the crack doesn't solve the flexing issue. In fact a glob of anything in there would feel like having a stone in your shoe as you walk, so need a way to also secure the rest of the hoof. As he said, she has almost no hoof to trim, so she may not even have enough to put a shoe on either. However, you could also epoxy a special shoe that's made for this problem. After a few weeks or a couple months, there might be enough growth to put a real show on.
Love you guys. So smart, so caring, so professional.❤ Thank you for your kindness. Why did her feet get to this bad state -- so abusive to this poor animal. Glad you were able to make such a difference.
I think you farriers are a special kind of God's angels! It always amazes me watching these hoof catastrophe videos and seeing how guys like you can take such horrific hoof conditions and restore them to normal again. A great blessing to horses! 🙏
Renato is doing a great job with this horse. I haven't seen earlier trims on this horse so I don't know what's been said before about it but it looks like she's foundered before and may have coffin bone rotation and would definitely benefit from some boots or casting, maybe even some wedged soles in the casts to relieve the pressure from the coffin bone on the sole and let it grow better. She has very clean and dry hooves which has probably helped keep thrush and white line disease at bay which is really good. Wishing the best for this mare amd hoping she will let you help her more and more every visit. Lovely to see Renato's patience with such a nervous horse, it will definitely help to build her trust.
This really makes me 😡 mad to know people have no feelings for these beautiful animals. Thank you guys for being compassion enough to help her. Would love to see the follow up visit. ❤️🫶❤️ North Carolina 🇺🇸
I had a thoroughbred who had very bad hooves when he came to me so I picked rosehip, did halves of them and dried them in the sun. I took the shoes off and gave him rosehip in his food every day and when the spring came. I could put on shoes and them never fall off anymore.
Basic care...not asking too much to look after your horses hoofs, cant imagine how awful this horse was feeling. Get the owner to walk over sharp rocks in bare feet day in day out !! Great job 👏
Any type of livestock is “high maintenance “. If the owners are not prepared to do the right thing by these animals they should not own them. Some of the suffering seem in some of the videos on RU-vid is inexcusable. God’s creatures are not here to be neglected, abused and exploited. Thank you to those who care enough to help them and relieve their suffering. God bless you.
Pretty old red mare, she did very well. I’m sure she felt relief with that injury cleaned up. Great job, and I would love to see how she looks at the next trimming. (Also a nice change to not see a twitch being used.)
These animal owners should be in jail for this cruelty... they should never be allowed to own any animals again! Diplorable and very sad! I can only imagine the pain and suffering she goes through...sad...😢
That cruel owner should be charged for this horrible abuse! Possibly he has got several other horses, he doesn't really care about. Mostly, these people argume they wouldn't have enough money for a proper treatment! I can't hear that anymore! In that case, those people shouldn't have any animals. And I ask myself, how do they treat their own family, when they need help. Also neglecting, cause there is no money or what???
Well, it's an improvement, for looks only. More needs to be done. She needs a Softrider horse shoe or Soft ride boot to cover the hoof while cracks grow out and farrier can continue to work on keeping it trimmed down gradually until hoof is even in height with the other. But it is not fixed. None of her feet look very good, but those cracked front hooves are so bad! And sometimes a wound like that will cause a Veterinarian to have to put her down, depending on where it is & how deep it goes. I hope medicine was applied to that terrible wound, and also the hoof, (if you even bothered to clean it, do the frog, and check for abscess). I saw flies entering the cracked hoof, too. It means they smell underlying rot and infection. Poor horse. I worry she won't recover, and will suffer. Take her to an Animal Doctor for advice and medications, please! If you are proud of your work, you won't mind him/her to view it.
Oh looky that. I had a filly who did similar to herself when she slip under a dog fence. Staples failed to hold it together because it a highly flexible area. But with persistence and restricted stable confinement I was able to get the wound to close and over time it shrunk down to a fine scar.
This horse deserves so much better! ‘Oh, she’s not an important horse so it doesn’t matter.” How terrible for you to say that. Hurt is hurt. You and that elephant guy I just saw working on a shot animal must be brothers. Heartless!
I don't know anything about horses. I wonder how much pain this horse is in? I wonder how much the things the farrier is doing relieves for pain? Will her hoof grow out eventually without cracks? Are the cracks painful? Can you talk about this a little bit for those of us who love horses but no nothing.😢
If the horse stays on a regular trim schedule then some of the cracks will go away. However, some of the cracks will be permanent as there is damage to the coronary band.
