Draft horses are my personal favorite thank you for taking such good care this one their beautiful gentle giants. They work very hard for us and deserve good care. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀💋💋👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼🇺🇸
This is absolutely the best farrier job I have ever seen. Done with so much care and love for the animal. The polish and everything. Thanks for being so conscientious.
You can tell you love your work, but more importantly you have love for the horses. I am.glad you are in your trade to give health and happiness to creatures who deserve so much respect and care. I hope you also receive the respect and care you deserve.
I dont know a damn thing about horses but that, Sir, was a work of art. Cannot imagine how many shoes youve made to make it look so effortless. Tip o' the hat.
Night and day difference!!! That horse will walk so proud and comfortably!!! How about a video of all 4 shoes being done??? Your videos are very calming... thank you!
Wow. I reckon that each and every horse whose pedicures you do, feel like they've been pampered at a boutique. This is really something therapeutic to wastch. Respect from 🇿🇦
That is a SPECTACULAR, TEXTBOOK FROG. Unusual to see such a robust, intact frog in a foot so overdue for the farrier; it’s health reflects on the horse’s general health. There’s an old saying: ‘No foot, no horse.’ The frog provides traction AND because it is made of spongier, compressible tissue, helps pumping deoxygenated blood back up the leg. Amazing!
I don't know anything about horses other than what I've seen on RU-vid videos but what I like best about your trims is that you don't overdo it on the frog. Not trimming this one at all because of the shape and health was very interesting to see.
That some really nice looking work and great job on the iron work instead of buying pre fabs. Lots of work to shoe a big horse. I'm in Idaho but there's hardly any horses in this county.
You're absolutely right..... Good evening S McCaskill how are you doing over there hope you're having a wonderful day a lovely day that the lord has made.
GREAT !! MAN !.. You have CARE-ing Hands .. and have SELF-developed Tremendous Skill. Even the GREAT animal seemed to know that you could only be a GREAT Blessing.. The horse seemed very pleased..! At age 15, I could do some foundry.. But seeing you burn that shoe into the hoof at the Correct plane, was SATISFYING .. That is a Feat of a Master-Craftsman !! Please Accept a CERTIFICATE of MERIT.. from me .. May you LIVE LONG .. THANK YOU for Showing your Video to the world ..
One of the best videos I've ever seen. Getting in real close with the camera shows a lot of detail that I haven't seen with other videos. If I was a student this video would have to be seen over and over. Thank you, Rick in east TN.
Never saw a farrier make a shoe before. That's a legit professional skill right there wow. Look how good it came out! You really know what you’re doing. Hope they paid you well. Great job 👍🐎
If the frog is at the same level of the horseshoe, and don't touch the ground is ok,otherwise it risk to be hardly in contact with it and could be dammaged by time causing a sort of lame.
I believe that the frog is the horse's natural shock absorber as he walks/trots along. It's the first part of his foot to touch the ground. Looked really healthy and will keep replenishing itself as it wares.
Love the draft horses, we had 2 of the giants at work. When the 50 stockhorses would take off running 5 minutes latter the draft horse would come plodding past..
I know the hot shoe doesn't hurt the horse, but it sure is wicked looking! And I can only imagine the smell. But I bet the horse sure feels better after it's pedicure!
Ya I was thinking burning hair It’s an amazing process Iv been a dairy farmer in Ireland all my life but never involved in horses but I’m definitely addicted to the farrier video 100% respect to you and thanks for replying to me 👍👍👍👍😎
They only hold it on for a few seconds to get the impression onto the hoof for where the shoe will go. Think of it like a big, thick toenail. If they were to hold it on too long, the heat would transfer up the horses hoof and into the part with blood vessels and nerves that can feel pain. That's why they are careful to only do it for a couple seconds. If you burn the horses foot, I promise they will let you know.
I love westerns. I understand from this video that there was not only the colt of vital for the cowboy but his horse was surely also precious to him. Thanks
I'm not a horse person. I know hardly anything about them, but I love watching farriers ply their trade. Watching them work bent over like that makes my back hurt. I hope their backs are OK.
I am naither a horse rider nor an owner. But I used to watch RU-vid videos on horseshoes. Your work is a fantastic one. I have never seen such a work. Congrats.
My grandpa would have taken issue with that shoe going on before it cooled to a black heat, and for leaving it on as long as he did. Never seen a horse react that way, but I've also never seen a ferrier apply a red/orange hot shoe to a hoof until now.
I'm amazed that the horse just stands there like it's being fitted with a new pair of boots. You think they understand what's going on? Sure looks like it.
THANK YOU for not carving up that frog like a Christmas turkey!!! Some of the viral farrier videos (I won't name names) show a fellow absolutely decimating frogs until they're unrecognizable... and paring away every bit of sole while he's at it.
