What an amazing Farrier. He was so gentle and took care not to cause any pain to the animal. Thanks to his creative thinking and unique solution, his hoof has a chance to grow back now. This farrier's so brilliant, better than a Vet.
Yes, thanks for English version! As a horse owner for many years of my life, this is one of the worst hooves I've ever seen. When I saw it I felt sick! You provide expert and gentle care. Hope he makes a full recovery.
I was thinking he was really well behaved as well. And he wasn’t that sedated, he was lifting his head- they don’t do that under a lot of sedation. And I thought the guy said the vet put an injection block into the hoof.
I have read a lot of comments on his videos about neglect. These videos are taken in Brazil where he lives and works, the owners are often just surviving and poverty in much of the rural areas is high. This channel is set up to show what the work entails in this area and the unique types of hoof care they provide. He uses his videos as a charity aid to help more farmers and animals that need this service Just by liking the videos and leaving any short comment helps him do this and helps the growth of the channel..
Bless him, I wish there were more professionals willing to give back to their community. This is the same problem in rural areas of Australia too, farmers already struggling to buy feed for animals, and financially they just can't afford.hoof care is one of the most important jobs.
Exactly 100 % agree so much negative comments of that’s neglect that’s animal abuse they probably just saw the condition of the horse with out watching the video and just commented Renato as mentioned a bunch of times they live in foreign poor country (Brazil ) where there isn’t much resources to help the farmers a lot of this horses are in good condition healthy just having issues with there hoofs you can tell this owners care and love there horses I have seen videos of the owners retiring there horses when they get to a certain age but still get the horses the help they need if this would had been in another country those horses would had been auction sold for the meat factory I have seen people with money would put there horse down and collect that insurance money even the horse couldn’t perform anymore and he mention they help the farmers and do this work for free the only help they ask for is for the meds they need that’s why the have this channel he even buys some of the animals that are in poor condition from the farmers that can’t care for them anymore and take them to his farm where he starts caring and treating them
I am here in the USA - NO ONE can prevent this sometimes. I have a paint mare who has and is dealing with this now. for the 4th time! it can be genetics, environment, trama, fungus, overweight/founder, abbesses, too dry, too wet. They are VERY frustrating to deal with and take almost a whole year to grow out. Some times you dont see the crack until its too late, almost overnight..they have done a very good job on the repair and this is a long term game to repair. We used a 2 part epoxy the last time. this time we are lowering her heal so her frog has contact with the ground and not all the pressure on her toe - just jarring it. this time looks more of fungus (whiteline), not abscess like last time.
Thank you very much for the English Translation. I have been watching your channel for a year and now can also understand with the English version. Renato is the best, caring farrier on RU-vid. He works on every imaginable injury and disease of hoof, and I admire him greatly.
That horse is suffering from "White Line Disease (WLD). WLD is as a keratolytic process on the solar surface (outer wall) of the hoof, which is characterized by a progressive separation of the inner zone of the hoof wall...A separation in the hoof wall is considered to be a delaminating process potentially brought on from mechanical stress, environment conditions affecting the inner hoof-wall attachment, and possibly some toxicity such as selenium. The separation, which can originate at the toe, the quarter, and/or the heel, seems to be invaded by opportunistic bacteria/fungi leading to infection; this then progresses to varying heights and configurations proximally toward the coronet. This disease process occurs secondary to a hoof-wall separation. The disease has been termed seedy toe, hoof-wall disease, yeast infection, Candida, and onychomycosis............That could have been easily recognized by ANY trained farrier in its early stages and dealt with properly, prohibiting the above from ever occurring!! 😡😡
@@Chpow01 sometimes the obvious is good at hiding. I have livestock and have seen quite a bit. A seasoned Farrier would have picked up on it instantly.............I also watch Donkeys and Mules being trimmed in China here on RU-vid.....What I see is truly, HEARTBREAKING!!!!!.....MIND BOGGLING!!!!.....SCARY!!!!!!
@@Chpow01 The lamina need something to attach to and work when they attach the hoof capsule to the inner lamina around the bone like interlocking fingers. The exposed part you saw had been exposed to the air for an extensive amount of time this to to occur at a minimum and with to the fact we don't know the root cause of the issue such as it being mechanical, environmental, or very commonly fungal and sometimes bacterial, the lamina ends would have been exposed to that potential stressor as well. It's why the hoof wall could in no way be reattached as the connections were all dead and dry. You are not dumb. The hoof grows from the top of the hoof or ring called the coronary band downward and if the hoof wall had detached all the way into the hairline it is possible that part of hoof wall may never have grown back and would have been a major problem. Now the hoof wall and entire hoof needs to grow back and everything hopefully grows out in a healthy way and iodine was applied to the area where the fungus would have been AKA white line disease to kill it. It takes approx 9 to 12 mo to regrow a healthy hoof, but this would need frequent trims to ensure no white line disease continued and that the hoof wall did not detach and was kept smoothed down as to not catch on anything and be pulled up. With proper care and time everything can potentially grow back all working together, like the lamina and the hoof wall, but again 9 to 12 mo w/o any issues before the hoof would be regrown.
@@blackdandelion5549 Wow, fantastic response. Thank you for the info, it's always nice when people don't simply say "yes/no" but give reasoning behind it.
Okay so, like when humans get toenail fungus and don’t treat it. Toe nail lifts away from the bed causing other problems. Once the damage is done it will be a forever problem. Only way to live with it is to manage it. Right?
Nice job. Here in the USA, we are using epoxy to rebuild major hoof wall damage. You over-build the epoxy then rasp it down to where you want it. It works very similar to biological hoof wall.
Most people would have put that horse down instead of giving it a chance. Good for the owner asking for help. Late in the day or not. Bravo. Wonderful work on this horses' foot. I hope you do a followup. This was remarkable work.
Definitely. Here on RU-vid there is a popular horse rescue page and they put down a lot of horses. Like I don't even know how they can call themselves a rescue. They even have like a creepy phrase for it, I can't think of it right now but something like the final act of kindness. They think if a horse isn't 100% healthy it should die.
Bravo Renato! You did a beautiful job- it’s obvious that you are a phenomenal, empathetic horseman. That horse was so fortunate to find himself in your care… in many cases, horses with this severe a hoof injury often are sent either to auction or (if the owner has a tiny bit of compassion) they are put down. However, this horse isn’t nearly as lame as I expected- I hope that he’s able to grow hoof quickly (and stay out of trouble in his paddock…. I will look for updates!
The baby did so well getting his treatment 😢 you can tell it's still tender though because after it was all bandaged up he was like "don't touch it!" Every time they reach toward it to demonstrate something lol. Thank you for helping him, I hope he heals super fast.
Thank you very much for the english version! I mean I watch the original too, but because I don't speak your language, I just have to guess what you are talking about. But it is still very educational and I have already learned some things :)
BubbityBubs - Thanks for sharing. Not everyone is open to correction. With that said, stay the course. Although it is said, no good deed goes unpunished, I find most times the pain is worth the effort. 👍
An injury such as this doesn't necessarily mean anything to do with neglect. Damage due to an accident. Made worse do to weather , soil conditions. He had said it has been really dry there and could have made the hoof my prone to breakage. Some of those nasty bacteria that's spread around the world and in it's soil now are nasty, though fairly easy to prevent if harder to treat. Clean living conditions helps along with regular hoof care
Love the English version. Then very nice works on the hoof. Brought it up to the point where it was still attached and treated with iodine after rasping which will hopefully make it harder to catch on anything and pull back further, even as it grows out. Very nice and professional work in treating this case. Hope the horse makes a full recovery.
Poor horse! He's so well behaved, you can tell he knows your helping him and he's not moving. New here, nice to see you helping out this guy. Take care.
That poor baby has had that bad hoof for long, very long t8me. Wonder why the owner let it get so bad. Thank you for helping this beautiful horse and thank you for sharing
@@earlemorgan5068 you don't have to be an expert. Any decent horse owner can see what neglect looks like. The hind feet are completely different shapes too
I'm no expert, but I own three horses, so I can pretty confidently say that wasn't caused by neglect. It was caused by a terrible accident where something (I certainly can't guess what) smashed into or struck or cut/lifted the hoof wall. It could've been something the horse stepped on while cantering, or my having a tussle with another horse and striking something. It's a terrible injury that is being treated. Because the farrier didn't try to detach the hoof wall from the coronary band (which would've caused devastating injury), and because the sensitive laminate underneath the hoof wall isn't exposed, AND if this horse continues to get regular hoof treatment, it should heal quite well. There are 'rings' in the horse's hooves, which could indicate many changes in diet, but the horse is in generally good condition. I've seen terrible neglect. This isn't it.
@@LilLoo226 The hoof has been like that for a long time. It's not a sudden inury. The laminae are dried and rotten. This split happened gradually as decay travelled upwards. The sole is in an awful condition. And look at the hind hooves too.
@@LilLoo226 This is absolutely neglect. This doesn't happen to a normal hoof. This horse must have had white line disease that wasn't treated, and then an accident (probably not anywhere near the catastrophic level) separated the hoof wall from the lamina. And after that , the injury wasn't cared for properly. So yes, evidence of major neglect of the hooves is very clear. If he'd been seeing a farrier regularly, the white line disease wouldn't have gotten to that point in the first place.
Ohh 😢 my heart broke for him as soon I saw the picture! That IS one of the worst injuries I’ve seen to a hoof especially on an otherwise healthy animal.. and.. I HAVE to say.. he’s beautiful and SO patient and calm!! Even the most docile school horses I’ve known still fidget a little bit 😋 I was just amazed that he didn’t even wiggle especially with the grinder! What a treasure he must be for whoever he belongs to 🥰 I’m so glad you can help him recover! You’re awesome!
They mentioned early in the video that a vet had administered a nerve block to prevent pain while they were manipulating the hoof. However, even if the lower leg was numb, the saw and all the manipulation would have freaked out a lot of horses.
Best wishes to the horse for an easy recovery, I have never seen a hoof separate like that. With Renato's care I'm hoping the hoof will get back to normal ❤❤❤❤
Fantastic farrier you know how to get the worst hoof to help thst animal to feel much better and at tge same time while to regrow the hoof over time to become healthy and new agsin thank you do much theses poor horses even the best looed afyer horses can get lame and accidents happen in pastures 😮❤take care love from Australia 🇦🇺 ❤️
Whatever caused this disaster, I think it is beyond wonderful that farriers are now able to rebuild the hoof. Not that long ago the horse would have been put down.
Fantastic work. Thank you so much for the English translation. I love your content, especially now that I can understand what your process is and what you’re dealing with.
I've never seen a full length section of hoof wall separate like that. Does make me wonder about laminitis. It's amazing that the horse can bear any weight on it at all.
It is a miracle that the horse has not fallen and fractured a pastern or cannon bone. That usually requires putting the horse down. Renato is very skilled--and very compassionate!
Thank you so very much for your English videos 🎉❤ I have watched so many of your videos and wished I could understand your language but I watch and I am so amazed with his work! I really appreciate you taking the time to do these English videos!❤from Canada 🇨🇦
I have 2 dogs, my young young desexed terrier had some slight bleeding from where she should so straight to the vet. $250 for blood tests, total was $406 with no medication but did include urine testing when I got the sample. We still don’t know what’s wrong, blood tests are normal. my previous elderly darling was on heart meds for 6 years which cost thousands overall but she was worth every penny. It isn’t easy though, on a pension, yet making sure that our loved pets are cared for medically. Even a tooth clean for my young one cost $600, with no fillings or extractions needed. It sometimes is a struggle, but they are always worth whatever it costs. I am fortunate to have a family who will help if I am struggling to find the money, we all love each other’s pets. I hope that this beautiful horse recovers well and suffers no more pain.
Thank you for doing a translation in English. I watched the video awhile ago but could not understand the language. Thank you and i hope you will show follow-ups, even if outcome is not good. I do think you have done an exceptional job trying to correct the problem.
Obviously the owner has less youtrube experience on the matter than you do. If he only had access to the animal channel he too would have know his pony needed a manicure.
I understand the cost of caring for a Horse is hard but in this case it is pure neglect and i believe if the cost is so destructive to your financial situation then the Owners Need to Learn how to do their Own Farrier Work and care for these Beautiful Animals much better than these Poor Horses in So Much Pain. We're a Horse Family with my Son as Racehorse Trainer and he's taught himself how to do nearly Everything for his Horses 🐎 and he's doing an Amazing Job plus Saving Money and his Horses are in Great Shape. Its a Tough job on your back to be a Farrier but if finances are so tight it's a Small Price to pay to keep your Horses in Healthy Condition. This Farrier here is extremely good and by watching him you can learn a Lot and at least do the Basics! Great job guys and using English helps us a Lot. 😊
I’ve seen a liquid kind of Durga glue used in some videos that coat and protect the foot in a resin case…wonder if that would be available? Thank you for helping this dear horse feel less pain.
I hope the owner will take better care of their horse in the future. Things like this don't happen overnight, as the farrier explains that the hoof wall was already separated because of disease. It takes months at least. If it had separated instantly there would've been blood and the inside of the foot would've been fleshy and pink, not dark brown or black and the horse would've definitely not wanted to walk or put weight there at all.
If the horse had been taken care of properly this wouldn't have happened. Shame on the owner. I hope the horse mends quickly and has better care in the future.
I had a horse scrape a big part of her coronet band. Some punks cut the gate lock and let all the mares out. She fell in a culvert; heavy damage on right front leg. Gouged from knee to hoof. She spent a week in the hospital. I retired her at age 19 to let her live her best life after two months of stall rest. Four years later, I came to visit her and found that the hoof had cracked wide open; including the coronet and some skin torn as well. I cleaned it up the best I could, gave her some bite and left Hazel in her stall. You could see the pain in her eyes. I decided not to let her suffer through a year of stall rest and pain. I had her put down the next day. She was taken to a facility that specializes in equine cremation. Right now she rests in my room but I’d love to take her up the hills surrounding the boarding barn. Hazel could keep watch forever that way! Thank you for letting me my story!
Dried cracked and then peeled like an onion this horse knows about pain this is just like a human that stub their toe and half of it broke backwards and it just hung there that is pain I hope this horse gets back to some type of normalcy and get out of pain! Because these men are miracle workers
That’s the worst hoof I’ve ever seen. This man did a magnificent job out there with limited resources. The owner is very very lucky that he found someone so skilled to fix his horse’s hoof.
