SHOEING a MULE // Hoof CHIP and HOW I deal with it?? 

If you're not comfortable in front of the camera, that's okay. There's plenty of popular channels out there that stay anonymous. You do you, friend. We're just here for the ride. ❤

Good to finally see the man behind the forearms!

me, a city slicker, taking notes for my imaginary horses

Your voice is really nice to listen to. As someone who's got no knowledge what so ever about animals this is both entertaining and educational to watch.

Your care and attention to details of the animal's needs is evident in his demeanor. Complete trust. It's a pleasure to learn from someone who knows their craft so well, and yet is so humble. Thanks for this and for your other videos as well.

Where ever there are horseshoe trimmings, there's a dog ready to eat them.

Your face do your face and forearms justice! I don’t know why but I always thought you would have more facial hair. Real talk, if you’re not comfortable being on camera, it’s okay. We watch it for the horse shoeing, arms, and voice. The face was a pleasant surprise.

I’ve never seen a mule like that, he’s very handsome!

Finally seeing the face of this man, I enjoy your videos I truly don’t think it’s important to show your face your voice and hands is enough for some of us 👍🏻❤️

Is it me or does anyone else thinks this is therapeutic

That is a chill mule. he even puts his front hoof on the post dantily and waits for you to do your thing.

I never thought I'd say that about a grown man but that camera shyness is just so adorable but really you don't have to force yourself :)

This channel never fails to be effortlessly satisfying.

Your videos should be prescribed for people suffering with anxiety. Don’t think I’ve been this chilled and relaxed in a long ass time

Thank you for telling us the dogs names 🙂

Definitely don't push yourself if you don't want to be in front of the camera. Because it's not your face that makes the video, it's everything else about you. Your gentle and caring soul for all the animals you've worked on and your great personality. You're a genuine guy and it shines through your videos. I'm just really glad I found your channel, keep being you!

"Jack of all trades" 😂 Totally here for the unintended mule puns!

I see new horse shoeing video, I click...easy.

Can we just talk about how handsome he is

Me not owning any horses wondering why I’m here. *steps in front of camera* “oh yeah, now I remember” 😂

Great job Sheldon, Great looking pair of Mules your Brother and Father have there, and not to mention great team. Hope all is well for you and family 👍

Where am I? RU-vid be recommending some random ish sometimes. Those are some weird looking dogs.

5:05 Every dog likes to steal shoes, it doesn't matter whether it's a human shoe or a horse shoe.

i live in the suburbs of chicago and never even rode a horse, but i still like watching these videos

I love mules... such clever critters

I've rarely seen a man so confident that he swings a hammer so wildly at objects near his crotch.

This is like the horse version of the Hoof GP. Absolutely fascinating!

I love your videos even though I don't know how they ended up in my recommendations. Your explanations are very clear and it's really interesting. Don't feel obliged to show your face if you're not comfortable with it, it's okay. Keep it up! Greetings from France

Being a father of three boys, I can imagine how proud your father is to watch you perform your art. Awesome video.

You're like the Dr. Scholl's of hooves, adjusting the shoes to fix pressure and helping chips

i’m not a specialist in your business, i’m just watching your videos because i like this feeling of wondering every time i see a horse you dealing with i think horses are really powerful creatures, this is so fascinating to me

That's just satisfying, educational and wholesome. You can see that this man really cares about those animals and thats just beautiful.

I really like that you explain everything :) Love your vids man

bb you don’t need to show your face if it makes you feel uncomfortable. either way, you’re ✨gorgeous✨ inside and out :)

You're handsome as expected

That's a handsome set of mules! I could watch your videos all day long! Enjoyed seeing the Director of QA out there keeping an eye on things (what a cutie) and the dogs enjoying the frog trimmings. Thanks for sharing!

It’s okay if you want to continue filming the videos as you did. We started following you before seeing your face On a second note, wow you look handsome and very young (around 23 y.o). I was very surprised to hear this cute little boy was your son. I guess the apple doesn’t really fall far from the tree.

Happy for a video, and good to “see” you. Beautiful mule, too. Question, not really related to this video, more of a general question: are there regional differences in shoeing horse and mules? For example, I also watch a channel that highlights Friesian horses in the Netherlands. She filmed an episode where the farrier came to shoe one of her horses (he did toe clips). So, do most farriers worldwide speak the same “language” and use the same techniques? Or is there a variation in farrier “styles” around the US and world? Thanks again for taking the time to film, edit, and post!

We don't know how, but we can tell you are a kind soul by your videos and the way you talk. It is so refreshing to watch someone so wholesome and nice.

This is the first video that I’ve actually seen the benefit of shoes on equine animals. Thank you for that! By watching you, I’ve learned the importance of shoes on some “ not all in my opinion “ horse’s. And in this case! A mule. I was much too rigid in my views before I found your site. You’re a good Man Sir! And I wish you and your family the very best. God Bless!

You’re a babe and your camera shyness is endearing! Keep at it ❤️

It's very alluring to watch a master craftsman work his magic. I had a little laugh at the dog taking a souvenir lol

Not only are you soft spoken and speak clearly, you take the time to explain things and I really appreciate it. I love your videos, please keep up the good work!

Aww it was nice to see the man behind the craft! Feel free to be on camera whenever you feel comfortable enough for it, although from that short clip you looked natural..The videos are both satisfying and educational! 😊

The face reveal we all wanted!

Viewing from Boca Raton, Fla.🌞. Brings back memories when I was kid in the country.

This is supreme late night youtube material right here. Kinda thing that you just watch while half conscious and not realize that it's 3 am.

Omgosh I always watch your work, It was your voice that drew my attention to your videos. Awesome work you do. And now that I see your face oh my gosh you’re handsome. Keep doing what you do. Learning a lot from you ... Thank you 😊

That was pretty adorable how nervous he was..Don't worry it will get easier!

I dont have any pets, let alone a horse. There's no reason for me to be here, but I'm here. 😌

I love that you explain what you're doing and why! It's fun to watch hoof trimming and shoeing videos anyway, but as a total layperson I love learning more about the animals' feet, how farriers care for them to fix and avoid problems, and how the shoes play into that. Very enjoyable, thank you for making these videos!

It's crazy the the mule wasn't at all bothered by even the sound of its hoof burning. The amount of trust these animals have in us is really cool

Lovely to see the face that goes with the voice :D Your videos show so much care and attention to both the animals, but also your viewers. Keep up the great work!

I feel like I could totally walk someone through shoeing a horse.. definitely couldn't do it myself though

Thank you for taking the time to educate us with direct, clear comments and explanations. I appreciate you sharing your knowledge and not being talked 'down to' in the process. I admire your care and concern for the animal's well-being. With proper shoeing and follow-up care, are you able to eliminate hoof wrinkles?

There are so many smart, dedicated, and driven young people out there. Love to learn about new stuff like this.

Teacher: what do you want to be when you grow up? Me: HoRsEShoeing

The sound of the rasp on hoof and the carving with the knife is asmr to my ears

Your content are so chill to watch, and oddly satisfying 🤩

Thanks as always for the great video. Growing up my neighbor had a ole John mule named thunder, my best friend. Not many mules in s.e mass but I was sure lucky to be around him. Keep yourself and your loved ones safe. Thanks again

This right here is the type of content I watch just because I enjoy it

Thank you so much for the wonderful video, really enjoyed watching a craftsman doing a fantastic job, love to hear you talking about your family, keep up the great job best wishes from not so Lockdown Reading England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿👍

I enjoy watching your expertise in making horses more comfortable on their feet. My great grandfather was a blacksmith in a small town north of Pittsburgh and when my dad was a boy he used to pump the bellows for the forge. Times have changed. In another video you created a rocker toe, which I thought was cool. You'll make a good vet.

this video is obviously not for me, i don’t understand a lot, but i find great comfort watching 1) a person doing what they have a passion for, and 2) animals being well taken care of so thank u for this

Give this man an award 🥇

I never knew you called those irons "shoes" in English! That's so cute! But it makes sense because technically they (horses) kinda are wearing shoes, right? In German they are literally called hoof iron

I get so happy when I get notifications that you’ve posted a new video! I know I’ve said this before but thank you so much for sharing your craft with us!

Man. Can't get over the skill and confidence you show in your work. Great stuff!

I love your videos so much and this did not disappoint. Hope the apprenticeship goes well.

Thanks for explaining things as you go along I really find it interesting

Man I know know nothing about farming or caring for livestock but these videos are satisfying and educational in a wierd way.

Mate these videos are great to watch, we don't have horses anymore on the family farm here in New Zealand. So it brings back a lot of memories watching you work.

Nicely done, do you have a very nice speaking voice as I said you’re very easy to listen to.

Hi Sheldon! 😃 So nice to see your face! 😊 Really missed your videos as always. Hope you stay safe.

First time I watched one of your vlog, I became hooked on what you do. VERY IMPRESSIVE!!! Now that you graduated from VET School I am more impressed and respect on your monumental accomplishment. Thank you for sharing your trade and professionalism.

Amazing trade craft, not often taught, or learned anymore due to the modern tractor. You can see the trust of the animal has for the master. The working relationship between man and beast of the trust and reliance on each other is rarely captured on film or video. Well done broadcast. Alhoa and Mahalo for shaing your life stories. 🌺🌼🌴❤️🇺🇸

I’m glad you’re back making videos

He is back! Yay!!v

Keep on keepin’ on Brotha. Love seeing people still love the trade their doing.

Thank you so very much for sharing your skills with us! Loved every minute of this video, and especially watching Scotty and Syd. Beautiful mules!

How is Pinto Bean doing?

THE DOG IS BACK!!!

Like the majority here, I have no intention of ever shoeing horses, but the format and delivery are extremely satisfying and I thoroughly enjoy every video that pops up. That said, the thirst in this videos comments is heeeavy lol. You are a handsome dude though so good for you, I ain't hatin.

Great video, from start to finish! Thank you for sharing !

Love your horse 🐴❤️💖

Ohh he’s gorgeous❤️❤️❤️ he’s like an Appaloosa🥰

Thank you for sharing your work, what you do with the hardware of the horses is pleasant, and especially the effort is looked at so that each job is well. He really did not know anything about the job you do, he is well admired for the effort you put into his work.

Its nice to see the man behind the hands. Also really like that you explain things as you're working.👍

How many times have you missed the nail and hammered your knee, or shin? Curious 😅😅😅🥰

I really like watching your videos you haven't done one for ages, I'm in the UK and I love your voice and its good to put a face to it, does it hurt you back being a farrier? And I thought a mule was a donkey lol

Mules are great, they are really clever. I love watching you work, you’re just so professional and really good at your job

My recommendations change every week and this is my favorite one so far

If only animals were cared for like this.

The other day I saw a video of a horse having some weird shews fitted, they were like normal shews but they had big studs at the back. Is this an actual shew or is it a mitchmach of some other shews I’ll put the link in the comment of this comment so you can see it for your self.

Thank you for using correct terminology. Medial and lateral are simply words that reduce misunderstandings. I prefer correct or affirmative rather than right so as to avoid misdirection. I don't have any hooved animals but I enjoy watching skilled craftsmen.

I'm so glad you started to film with the camera right side up. I used to have to lock my phone in portrait mode and flip it upside down in order to watch you videos... lol

Does the horseshoe nailing hurt the horses/mules...etc.?

Your so handsome, i wouldn't be camera shy if i was you

Thank you for teaching me about something that I had absolutely no idea I was interested in!! So much more goes into shoeing than I thought. Keep up the good work! 😊

Love watching your videos here from Copenhagen, Denmark. You are doing such a great job for horses, mules, and donkeys always having their best in mind. Like that very much, and your explanations are really excellent and informative. Thank you so much!
