RECOVERING from SURGERY! // HORSESHOEING Pinto Bean Update Ep.4 

@ To a degree, a lot of it is also training in the horse. When buying a horse, you should ask if they pick up their feet and stand for the farrier. Some horses have trauma, or sore legs/hooves or don't trust specific people and wont lift their hooves, but if you know what you're doing when you ask and the horse is trained, it's generally not a problem.

Horses are patient animals unless.... there’s food

Glad you like them!

best analogy I have heard!!! if you don't mind I might steal that!

Go for it!! 💜

A lot of people think it's hurts them, but a lot of those people don't know that a horse would have 0 problem letting you know that your ticking it off. Lol.

Better. Cherries.

1. Every horse is different and Pinto is no exception. At this point he has been fighting his injury for a long long long time. I think it won’t be long before he gets even better, but he still needs a good two months before he will be in good shape. It’ll be even longer before his muscles start getting stronger again, this entire time he has been standing around in a stall. 2. It’s possible he waits for it to cool, but I doubt it. He probably just doesn’t have too long to wait and he might stick the shoes in water to quickly cook them enough to shoe the horse without continuously burning the horses hoof. Or there is a chance he uses oil. Not for sure about either of these as there is no evidence in the video itself. 3. Based on the structure and the nature of rasps/ files and how they work...I had a similar question on what he had to do....I am assuming he needs to purchase a new one every so often. A good question would be how long between the need to manage and maintain the rasp/file or if he has more than one.

If all goes well, no more proud flesh or karatoma growth it will be at least a year for the toe wall to grow out. This does vary from horse to horse and also depends on diet. A horses diet affects how much the foot grows. I have a horse that came out of California. She had super thin walls and a thin sole. She was originally a border but ended up staying permanently. My feeding regime is close to free choice quality Bermuda grass and a split of alfalfa for dinner. No supplements other than a basic salt block. Within 6 months her owner who is my farrier started to notice her walls thickening up. Hell she even put on some weight! All I did was feed her! Nutrition plays a huge part in getting good hoof growth. What would have taken this horse a year to produce she grew in 6 months. Again all I did was feed her enough hay! Now for cooling the shoe it’s done with a quick quench in water. Total cool down is about 2-3 minutes tops. And rasps are replaced frequently they do wear out fairly quickly. They are typically recycled along with worn out horseshoes. People are always looking for old shoes for art projects, they can be made into lots of things.

No kidding omg 😍

YES

Now that you said that I can’t stop looking a them XD

Mm yes, them forearms. I am lucky to have a pair of those to hang out with irl. 🤭

Dafuq?

Thank you! Will do!

Yah! He sure can

More to come!

Good idea I think we will do one soon

thanks, my pleasure

Glad you enjoy it!

Practice makes perfect! Also make sure you have a strong core! Physical fitness, and flexibility goes a long way with this very demanding profession. Also people skills as your guaranteed to run into some clients you just wanna slap some sense into! The ones who refuse to have their animal ready for your arrival, or have difficult animals who need proper training but the owner refuses to see that their horse is a jerk who needs to be corrected! I have one of these! When she is done with whatever we are doing she will try to squish whoever is working on her. Previous owner ignored the issue, I do not! Anyway study hard and never stop learning! ELPO trimming protocol is pretty cool and is something I recommend looking into!

He must be a nurses dream when getting blood work 😅

Ylva Gustavsson YOU COULDN’T BE MORE ACCURATE!! That is what I do for my job, phlebotomist....draw blood!

Thanks for the story! To bad you can't share pictures

S&S Horseshoeing I gladly would as I have plenty of them, too bad RU-vid doesn’t have that option. You did a fantastic job!

Sorry about that

@@maverick_vet That's ok. I understand they tend to resist domesticity. I gave that same excuse to my spouse when I refused to do the dishes on the night I cooked dinner.

ROTFLMFAO

thanks for the advice! I forget so thanks for the reminder

@@maverick_vet No problem. I had good attending physicians during my clinical rotations who were quick to remind me (repeatedly lol) to use common language with patients and clinical language with professionals and in any notes you might keep on the animal.

Lol thanks
