@kingkong7617 Жыл бұрын
The way the horse picks up his foot and tries to put it down at the tip of his hoof is a testament to how poorly he was walking before. Combined with the rolled under heel and the flare, it looks like he had something that was causing him pain at the posterior of the hoof and caused him to walk on tiptoe. Hopefully the trim combined with the high shoe gets him back to a normal gait.

The US does not have uniform animal codes like I have read the UK has. The laws themselves and the enforcement are at the county level, and if an area is poor, there may not even be enough welfare officers to visit an area or a refuge to take sick horses to. Animals can really suffer, because the law sees them as property. It is quite sad. In addition, people in the US can suffer poverty unexpectedly and be unable to meet their own needs for food or medical, and then their animals suffer. I'm not saying which country is better, it's just different.

I have 2 horses and they get trimmed and shod every 6-8 weeks. This is most definitely months and months of growth and poor to no farrier work.

This farrier is excellent and carefully trimmed and rebuilt this foot.

@Clintstagram11 ай бұрын
But the 'after' hoof isn't normal. It is greatly improved and, if the owner keeps up with regularly scheduled trims, may become even closer to normal, but that degree of rotated coffin bone is never going to rotate back into the normal position. In essence, the horse is being forced to stand with the tip of his 'toe bone" inside the hoof pointed straight down into the ground rather than the flat side of the bone parallel to the ground. Hooves are not designed to function that way and that horse will always be extremely vulnerable to injury, pain, arthritis, tendonitis and laminitis. A good farrier and vet working together on good hoof trims and correct nutrition will be able to get that hoof to the point where that horse will be okay to live a life as a pasture pet--no riding, no vigorous exercise, no extensive moving over hard surfaces. He may even get sound enough to be a kid's pet, sound enough to give small children (under 50 pounds or so) very short lead line rides on soft surfaces of less than 5 to 10 minutes a few times a week. There's a place in the world for pasture pet horses. Horses are not meant to be kept alone, so a family that has only one working horse would do well to get a free or very inexpensive pasture pet to be the working horse's companion. If this horse has a calm temperament, there's always a place for someone who is raising young stock to have an older horse to show the younger ones how to behave, give them an example of how to react, reassure the young ones in new situations, etc. Anywhere there are large predators, it's prudent to keep at least 6 to 8 horses as a herd to make it more difficult for a large predator to single out one horse to take down (mixing some mules into the herd is also a good idea). Or he may just be someone's beloved pasture ornament, kept because he's lovable and they care about him. In which case, I hope they get him another pasture pet to keep him company because horses should not be kept alone.

@idahohorseshoeingschool Жыл бұрын
Just an unproven idea but I think when so many horses are trusting the history they have had with these farriers, the vibe or calm pheromones spread to the other horses. A herd follows the leaders and this is a big enough barn the horses have enough bodies present(usually) to be that temporary herd. Once a horse has been in this barn with the core group of farriers they remember kind treatment. Also the barn has kids and dogs and puppies and sometimes chickens watching the show. Horses know it is a safe space for them as well. Just the observations of an amateur who admires this facility and the farriers they send out into the world for the betterment of equine civilization.

He may even get sound enough to be a kid's pet, sound enough to give small children (under 50 pounds or so) very short lead line rides on soft surfaces of less than 5 to 10 minutes a few times a week. There's a place in the world for pasture pet horses. Horses are not meant to be kept alone, so a family that has only one working horse would do well to get a free or very inexpensive pasture pet to be the working horse's companion. If this horse has a calm temperament, there's always a place for someone who is raising young stock to have an older horse to show the younger ones how to behave, give them an example of how to react, reassure the young ones in new situations, etc. Anywhere there are large predators, it's prudent to keep at least 6 to 8 horses as a herd to make it more difficult for a large predator to single out one horse to take down (mixing some mules into the herd is also a good idea). Or he may just be someone's beloved pasture ornament, kept because he's lovable and they care about him. In which case, I hope they get him another pasture pet to keep him company because horses should not be kept alone.
God bless you for helping the horse
Wow! Amazing work! 🙌🏽
Really wonderfull ! Thank you for the horse !!!
I’ve said it before, I have never seen so many horses,that are so mellowed out,seems all the horses 🐎 would let you do whatever you need to do.but all these horses come from different farms,I presume.again how does that happen.great video 😎😎😎👍👍👍
We shoe or trim around 20 head a day. These are simply the out of the ordinary cases that come through our barn. They are definitely in the minority of all the work we do which is why we don’t have a new video daily. We just film them when they come in.
Just an unproven idea but I think when so many horses are trusting the history they have had with these farriers, the vibe or calm pheromones spread to the other horses. A herd follows the leaders and this is a big enough barn the horses have enough bodies present(usually) to be that temporary herd. Once a horse has been in this barn with the core group of farriers they remember kind treatment. Also the barn has kids and dogs and puppies and sometimes chickens watching the show. Horses know it is a safe space for them as well. Just the observations of an amateur who admires this facility and the farriers they send out into the world for the betterment of equine civilization.
They have to be trained to have their feet handled. It is important, and it really helps to start them when they're young.
Is it painful for the horse to walk on the coffin bone if it is not in the correct alignment?
Great job! Other front hoof looks elongated as well; tho, not nearly as bad. Since this is a school, do the horses belong to individuals?
Complimenti al maniscalco !!!ma è cosi amaro vedere cavalli ,asini e mucche con zoccoli terribili ....ma questa incuria reca loro tanto DOLORE !!!cerchiamo di amarli di più perché sono animali meravigliosi !!❤❤❤
I am so glad this horse was in the capable hands of a well trained farrier.
I have a feeling that the horses that get to I H S.. think they've made it to heaven. .Because all of you take such good care of them........ Stay warm, my friends.
Beautifully done. Thankyou .
You have a fabulous gift, thank you.
Amazing work guys. Such a great skill you have ❤

You are as talented as any surgeon. Amazing
Man, you are a master of your craft. That beautiful bay deserves what you have done. It's a while since this post and I wonder how his treatment has progressed.
Amazing job! True master.

Wow that was amazing!
GREAT JOB. A TRUE CRAFTSMAN.
How does such a beautiful horse get feet that neglected? The result was great tho you are so talented! Your shoes come out so symmetrical and beautiful man …….
How many years of improper care did it take to get that bad?
Making the shoe was so satisfying to watch.
You have clean and beautiful hands, especially for someone who works with them a lot.
Beautiful craftsmanship, well done.
Amazing! I've never seen before. But what happens to the horses in the wild, where there are no people to help them.
Horses that live wild travel for miles every day and wear their feet naturally. Ones with bad feet tend not to survive.
Great work, I’ve seen them flare out but never grow under. The hoof was very upright could it be slightly clubbed, as I noticed the left hoof was flared out too.
That is beautiful work considering what you started with.
Yes, Big Star, my first thought is it takes an artist, an engineer, and a mind that can project shapes and depths to solve the problem.
Congratulations from Guatemala 🇬🇹 city... beautiful work❤🎉🎉🎉
Terrific job, really outstanding, looks like a hoof again. How could anyone let it get to how it was?
Amazing work!
Serious artwork there. It always sucks when the horse tries to lean on you. Lol. Nice work and outcome here.
already looks so much better.
Unbelievable craftsman who truly cares
Nice looking horse.Very nice job on that new shoe.
thank you - absolut perfect😀😃😄
All I can say is Wow!
Cool school never knew there was one. Very interesting only you guys know what you're doing. Glad there's a school for that. Great job. Enjoyed this video.
It really amazed me that the horse is cooperating😀
He is trained to be this way. Best to start when they're young.
Would love to see the follow-up!
Great work
Thank you. Please do a follow up.
great job, do you have a RTG before ? thx
Is the deformities caused by having a club foot of any kind? Also, looks like he has a nasty knot on his front knee. Or an injury?
Looks like arthritis. not much you can do about that.
The master at work.
Doing the Lords work there brother 👍💯🙏✅💚
As always, an amazing job!!! But how does a foot get that way?! Is it founder?? Bridge
Nice job.
Trabalho de artifície,tens meu respeito e admiração,Deus lhe retribua com prosperidade 🙏🏼🇧🇷🐎
Ouch! That’s got to be painful. He’s in good hands now.
