So you know what I was thinking through this whole video? How your back must get sore. I have lower back problems and just watching the angle that you have to bend at to look after that horses hooves makes me hope that you are taking good care of your back. I love watching your videos ☺️
I hurt my lower back when I was 12 years old. I’ve been hurting ever since. That was in the 60’s had to compensate strong upper back. I’ve been in constant pain since 1985. You make do. 5’tall and a long back. Bad combo 😂 = stubby legs. Iz a girl. 4 brothers and I was doing the heavy work with my dad. I’ll shut up now.
@@faragraf9380as if young people can't suffer from chronic issues... My cousin severely hurt his back when he was like, 15 and now, nearly 20 years later it's never gotten better. You don't always recover from injuries, regardless of age.
@@faragraf9380People say this as if being young will prevent long-term health damage. My grandfather injured his back when he was 16 years old, he helped unload cement with his father, "stop being lazy" was said several times by several people. The result was his spine developing in such a wrong way that his organs fell out of place and his lungs couldn't inflate properly. At the age of 53, a doctor finally gave him a brace, which only serves to help him support the weight of his back. over his body, he lived until he was 70 like this, a lot of pain, he couldn't bathe alone, closed shoes were impossible to wear since he was 40 because he couldn't squat, his left arm became partially paralyzed over time. The argument could be made that he lived a long life, but taking into account that he was the youngest son and his mother is still alive along with all his brothers, knowing that he was the first to die is complicated. The advantage of being young is that if something happens and you rush to the doctor, you have a better chance of being able to fix it, but take it. changed and preventing it is much more important, for all ages.
Real craftsmanship I've always liked farriery, but as someone wrote, my back can't take it.... Still so nice to see when you give the horse a real treatment
I was a farrier for over 60 years . I’m 82,over weigh , with no back problems, or pain. I was told early on to watch a farrier about my size and build, too learn how not to ruin my back . I did and it worked for me . Oh, 6’3” tall
@@blindandwatching- Right. Owner as obviously trained horse to tolerate being handled and farrier does so with skill. I am understand that this is rudimentary training every owner should do - yet we are such poor horsemen that I struggle to even clean a single front foot and would expect to get kicked if I tried to pick up a rear foot. Our farrier charges a touch extra, but manages to keep horse calm and docile - though it takes (and costs) a bit extra. After multiple rounds, feet are in good enough shape he no longer needs shoes.
It seems like the animals when they are having their hoofs trimmed, are so patient. I wonder if you sometimes get a horse that does not like being shod.
What are you feeling for when trimming the hood? Is the outer part crumbly and you feel for firmness? Do you have to worry about trimming to much? Like a dog mail, just right and too much are a hair away. 😢.
Haii i have a question.. When i'm old enough i want to be a farrier too but how can you see how much you need to take off of the hoofhorn. I'm still a little confused about it haha
What does this horse do when ridden or driven? I would think these shoes would be awfully slippery on most any surface with the smooth toe and just a recess for the nail heads, no swedge.
Sorry, aber immer noch zu lange Zehe und die Streben gehören zum Strahl hin weg! Dazu hätte ich das Eisen mit einer Kappe gewählt um den Druck vom Zwanghuf zu nehmen. Dazu hätte ich die Schenkel hinten vom Eisen breiter gelassen um besser zu unterstützen....
