I dont know how I ended up on a rabbit hole of hoof restoration videos but theyre oddly relaxing so I'm okay with this
I. Yeah. I did this with cow hooves once. It just happens, like some magical force just pulls you towards them.

Hey horse, how do you type? It must be a nightmare.
maan, im so hungry
I’d wish there was some on screen text describing the entire process, for those of us who love horses but are not really knowledgeable about their upkeep like in this video. Awesome work, I feel like the horse is enjoy it.
да
Oh yeah, that's a nice frog
If he could talk he would appreciate it
Yes
Check out Pacific Northwest Farrier Show
This was a good one…also am I the only one that’s like “oh he missed a spot” then gets really stoked when he goes back and gets that spot?
The guy is a horseshoe artist! (Always wanted to, but that horse kick is a big factor!!)
I LOVE THAT PART
SAME
What does stoked mean
Nope
My horse was 31 in 2018 and thus had to be put down due to age related issues. I miss these sounds, just standing and holding the lead while the farrier worked. It's soothing to listen to. And dang that's a big hoof! I had a little tiny Arabian! I'd love to meet a Shire one day though. I've heard they're incredibly gently. And this one is being very good.
My uncle has 2 horses. I spent 3 days living with the horses. Last day I cried when I had to go. I miss them I could understand
@familienweld The title says shire??
I have 2 horses
I have a Shire paint cross, she is my whole world. Feet as big as this, and a heart double the size of that. She may not admit it but she does in fact love me. Even if it’s only cuz I give her treats and cuddles. Taller than 6’5 at her head, and I’m 6’4, so she’s the perfect size for me and my height and perfect for riding as you should ride no more than 20% of their body weight. She weighs right around 1700 pounds…big girl
Him using the trimming as a anklet to keep the hairs away was genius and hilarious at the same time
For real
I was looking in the comments to see if anybody else noticed that as well 😂😂
Always amazed how the horses just stand still. It must be a relief for them.
Ñ
Don’t worry bro they do have 3 another legs
Definitely relieving for me somehow
Horses have ligaments and tendons that can lock their knees comfortably, and I've seen some doze off while standing up. He's probably just chilling out, having a snooze during his pedicure.
I ride and my dads a farrier so he teaches me how to do it but That’s not the point the point is It’s very satisfying and fun to do they stand still Bc they know the farriers well and your right it is a relief for them
It's incredible how deep in the hoof all that dirt gets crammed with those huge horses. Fantastic work! Thanks for letting us watch!
after he got the first layer off i didn’t know what i was staring at in the hoof
@@mangotreebs7749 Same
Due to a birth deformity (clubbed feet) and after much surgery I tend to be very prone to callouses and these can be very painful especially in the hot weather. I have an amazing Chiropodist that does an amazing job and I always feel like I am walking on air after a treatment.. I imagine this lovely horse feels exactly the same! Great work.
i love that comparison. chiropodists are just human farriers lol
@@nbdjz1058 no shit
Watching an expert craftsman do his honest job is always a joy to the eye.
Well stated...

If you are reading this at night, you should get some sleep, and don't stress about everything going on in the world, or what you are going through. Don't dwell on things from the past, don't stress on your future. Just live your life, because you only get one. Do whatever makes you happy, not what other people want from you.

Thank you for the inspiring words
Broooo how did you know 😅
You’re a precious soul 💕
I also enjoy this, no loud music, no one talking on and on just the sounds of the different tools he uses while he scraps away at the hoof it's so soothing and relaxing, can't wait to see more, thank you for a great video.
I had a friend who was a farrier years ago, she like you make it look easy, I was always amazed how she worked with confidence and speed, you guys are in a class all by yourselves.
How is this so mesmerizing? I’ve never owned a horse. Never even thought about the processing of shoeing a horse or whatever it’s called. Yet I’ve watched two of these videos and been totally fascinated. Great work!
I'm exactly the same position. I have absolutely zero experience and I keep thinking "no don't do that" then being surprised that it's fine. When he put that hot shoe on its foot my brain had a moment of meltdown.
@@jeffdredd1172 It's a shock to see initially, for sure. I was surprised the first time I saw that part of the process and I already had the knowledge of where in the hoof the nerves are/aren't. (Spoiler: they're deeper in that triangular fleshy part at the back of the hoof) The whole process looks intense but the horse is at worst mildly uncomfortable for having to sit still a while. If it were painful, you can bet the farrier would be pulling that horseshoe out of his body, assuming he survived a kick from a shire :)
@@whoslineluver 👍 thanks for the info.
Same, dude, its so mesmerizing, I can’t stop watching
Same here. Why? It makes me nervous and addicted
There's something about your handiwork that is completely ASMR for me that I find relaxing. Fantastic video, brother!

I would like to thank all the farriers around the world 🌎 for taking care of the horses 🐎 donkeys mules etc. god bless you and your family always 🙏I love y’alls videos 👍🏼
You are a man after my own heart, Jake...constantly perfecting until it's just right! This has to be the best example on YT of what a genuine Farrier is. Cheers!
Love the trick you used to hold the horses’s hair outta the way with the ring of hoof you previously cut with the nippers. Also a good reason not to break the ring in two like I’ve seen most other farriers do, it’s also way more satisfying imho. Great job, man 👍🏻 Keep up the nice work 👏🏻
Dude is literally the horse equivalent of a nail tech. This is so satisfying to watch.
it's at 8:25 if anyone missed it
Anyone else reckon the horses love this? Dosed up on sugar cubes, got a tub of carrots to get through, human sorting his new shoes, going for a grass munch later. Life's good. 😎
Exactly
Yep.
Getting metal braises banged into your nails. Mmm
I'm told they basically tolerate it but it's not something they really enjoy per se
bros been fantasizing abt being a horse...
I like how the horse trust the guy and have patience
So dam addictive to watch, I've watched like 20 videos. I'm now moving onto cow hoofs, but don't worry, Ill be back
I stumbled across this video and thought i'd give a peek and yes, it is oddly satisfying. But what stunned me most is the fact that, after trimming the hoof down, a soft material emerges. You can see the hoof being of a soft, flexibel material, just like goats' hooves. I would have never thought of that being the same with horses.
Hooves, nails, and hair are made from the same type of protein, keratin! :)
They are related
@@T34theAmericanheavy really? i thought they were completely unrelated species. i will look it up
The softest part of the hoof is the frog, which I assume is the part you're referring to :) it has a higher mositure and blood flow compared to the test of the hoof, and helps the horses the same way running shoes would for us if that makes sense
@@synnvelange7062 wait that’s so cool!
This is an amazing video! :) I didn't know I needed this in my life until now. It is my new way to relax. :D Also, I love how casually he just uses the horses own hoof piece to hold the hair in place. Literally a self made ponytail there. 🤣😂🤣
The owners actually should already have taped up/back the feathers before the farrier arrives as a courtesy.
I was a ferrier decades ago and say you do excellent work. I wish all horses stood so good.
Действительно, работа у вас тяжелая и изнурительная. Не уставайте. Спасибо, что легко помогаете этому благородному животному.
Amazing video, not one word from the farrier, just watch as he goes about his work, WOW!!! A master craftsman at work … 🐎🧲🐎
@@nelboswell5587 Ok, kudos to this professional teacher
…That’s a magnet emoji dude.
8:30 i love how he uses the horses hoof trimming to keep the hair from falling down lol
Same lol
Ahhh I love watching Farrier work, so relaxing and soothing, plus it's so satisfying seeing that hoof get all nice and clean 😌
Yes
I think it’s satisfying just watching him clean the frog.
@@blakebryder7464 Nothing better than a nice off-white, super healthy frog. I watched a trimming video that was a demonstration of trimming for the Amish and the demo horse had frogs the color of butter and the knife cut through them like warm butter as well. It was the healthiest frog I've ever seen in my life, and I've been riding for 26 years.
The ability to do all this from memory on knowing how to fix each hoof so too much isn't taken off to knowing the approx size of the shoe is incredible. No bleeding is interesting.
I have so much admiration for farriers and have considered learning the trade myself. I love watching them work. It's very satisfying seeing them return hooves to their best shape as one of the most important parts of a horse's body. It's such physical work, yet so delicate at the same time. Thank you foot docs ☺🐎
This is pure craftsmanship! This farrior is amazing and I could watch him all day long. This is so theraputicI imagine that his back must get really really sore!
I love how Good quality myour work is. Is it just me or do you squint when he's trimming the frog. I'm always like dont go to deep,in my head. I also love that you put Hoof oil on at the end to make a better result and as an equestrian. My self we really appreciate. It. Great way of using the hoof clippings as a hair band for the feathers.
Every time I watch him trim the frog I’m like “He’s gone too deep this time” but he never does! Crazy skills.
Omg I'm like this with every video, i get so scared i hold my breath
I haven't observed such excellent Farriering since I was a kid 70 years ago on our Farm in Lathrop, California. Great work Jake.
Like watching the creation of a little work of art. Every time. I used to trim my ponies’ feet. It is so much work! Makes my hands and wrists ache just watching. You have to be so strong. That is part of what gives the horses confidence that you will do the right things with their feet, if they feel strength in your grip.
I don't own a horse and I have no plans to buy one but I find this pretty interesting to watch. I'd love to know the names of the tools you're using and the processes you're performing with them. Cheers!
That's a gorgeous foot. Healthy and well maintained. You are an amazing Farrier! Thank you for sharing.
Wow! How does the Farrier know how far to go inside the hoof? Just amazing!
You sir are a magician, a stellar job to say the least and I like how smoothly you handle the horse, they need confidence in their humans.
I love how you used the trimmings to keep the fetlock back while you work
I think that was my favourite part of the video! Just one of those tricks of the trade
That blew my mind. When I tell you my jaw dropped…
Feathers ?
@@beakytwitch7905 all the long fluffy fur on the bottom of the horses legs
He's gotta do this to 3 more feet. And the thing is, it's just in 15 minutes, more than that. Thank you for taking the time restore the horse's shoe.
Thank you, seeing the entire process is educational. Looking forward to more videos.
We need to get this channel close to a mill ... People don't understand , just like us humans we can't walk barefoot neither can horses, cows etc... This is a very rare job and ya gotta know what you are doing!!! (I know because my father got trained to shoe thoroughbreds, when he owned his horsed and he did it after his retirement from his companies).. *_MUCH RESPECT IS DUE TO THESE MEN AND WOMAN WHO DO THIS TYPE OF JOB!!_*
8:25 I love him using removed hoop to trim the hair .
As one knowing absolutely nothing about the anatomy of a hoof I was quite shocked by the amount of stuff removed...
You need the shoes because a horse will wear through its hooves walking on things like stone. Although there is the added side effect of them not wearing down at all thus the trimming.
@@CAMSLAYER13 would they not need shoes if they were constantly on grass or dirt or are there other risks and situations that could happen so they should be shoed in all environments?
@@tomtcom they wouldn't necessarily need shoes if they did spend most of there time on softish ground although trimming will still be needed most likely depending on the ground, grass or wet mud would be too soft. Shoes can also be therapeutic or to help with grip in winter but yea theres often no need for a pet, working horses will require shoes as long as you plan on using them.
I grew up on a ranch/farm, I used to love when the farrier would come. my little brother and i would watch the whole time(5 horses)and give the hoof trimmings to our dogs. truly the good old days.
Thank You, sir , 'tis a pleasure to watch. I miss standing in a blacksmith's shop, when he was shoeing horses. On my way home from school or out to visit friends. It was a sad day when they took away the horses. The sound of the hooves and the grinding of the tyres on gravel. I am lucky to have had such loveliness.
This was so interesting and entertaining. 😌 I appreciate that the camera is stationary too. I get motion sickness from the other farrier vids, lol.
Your attention to detail - both with your video production and the horse - is amazing! Great job!
Because I know I have a different passion for cleaning up horses, so whenever I see these videos, I'm very excited to watch them.💚 Love from Bangladesh 😮
I don't know why it gives me so much satisfaction to see the cleaning of horseshoes. Good video
This horse has such beautiful hooves. They look like marble, all cleaned up.
I have never seen anyone clean a horses foot like this!! I was wondering at first if it was even a real horse cause of how calm it was until it moved a little. You have a very good bond with it. The horses my family had probably would have made the process difficult.
Thanks Jake. Sending this from Chugiak (chew gee ack) Alaska USA bless you for all you do to help animals, and your skills are incredible.
Time stands still while watching this video. The work being done has been done for a thousand years if not more and it isn't mechanized or robotic. It's as impressive as it is difficult work.
I'm so happy I watched this. Never knew how much work there was to do !!!!
Back when I actively rode/took lessons, I used to love it when the farrier would come to the barn; I could have watched him work for hours. None of our guys were shod, but they still needed their periodic trim. :) Question: What makes this a “restoration” versus just a regular maintenance visit?
This process is fun to watch kinda like watching sheep shearing when I was a kid growing up on a small farm it’s hot hard work but gratifying when you’re done.
Профессионал!!! Выполнил обработку со знаком качества. Заслуживает огромного уважения.
I don’t know how I started watching these videos, but they are so interesting to watch! I don’t know anything about horses and this looks painful but I know people say it isn’t. A few questions if anyone has time to answer them for me. :) 1) How often do horses need this done? 2) What is the soft part that gets cut? That looks painful! 3) Why do they burn the hoof with the shoe? 4) When we see bits of red showing, is that blood? Thank you 😀🐴
They need it done about every 4 weeks. It is in no way painful to the horse as nerves to do not connect that far down however if overgrown it would cause pain and be hard to walk and many things would get stuck in the hoove. I believe the burning is to help the shoe stick better, not all do it. No bleeding occurs unless there is something stuck in the hoove (Such as rock, gravel, etc.) Its most likely a type of dis-coloration.
(The burning is meant to create a smooth surface to prevent less cracking or softening in the hoove)
The hooves are basically made of the same material as our finger nails and toe nails, so this is analogous to getting a pedicure.
Thank you both for the info 😀
@@kiera7861 we get it done every few months on our horses tho
I am still amazed I watched the entirety of this. My body was shivering but I couldn’t stop watching!
So satisfying like watching soap carving except he's not being wasteful. 👍🏼 *Thank you for your service* for the care of these magnificent creatures.
this type of content makes me go to sleep so easily. Not out of boredom, but because it’s so satisfying
I love the fact that they don't talk in these kind of videos. They just allow your eyes to explain everything to your mind... peace and quiet. Just the sound effects of the tools😍
Dang. I've been watching the hoof gp, and i'd always thought a hoof is a hoof is a hoof. I had no idea horse feet and cow feet were so different! Thanks!
Well i announce you today that you are legally skilled
You've got to be joking...
Can tell you're a pro simply watching the scene where you use the ring of clipped hoof to hold back the hair while fitting the shoe.
Absolutely amazing work, a pleasure to watch. Top job!!
I love cleaning my horse's hooves, it's literally so satisfying. Idk how I'm not already there scraping out those hooves myself.
Awesome job. I love Shire horses. Enormous feet. Wish you could show the whole horse :)
Wow, amazing, I give this guy alot of credit, the horse is so calm too!!!!
Horses enjoy having their hooves trimmed. It is relieving for them. Just like how milking a cow is relieving for them. If they dont get milked infection can grow because the calf cant drink all of the milk. At a certain point mothers wont let calfs drink. Thats when the Farmer starts the milking proccess. If horses hooves grow to long, it can cause serious damage!!
As someone who knows nothing about horses I have a few questions. 1) how often do you have to trim their hoofs? 2) how did you get the shoe to be such a perfect fit? Was that on your first try? And why do you put it on hot first? 3) why do you trim the hoof middle out? 4) what's the center "spongy" part of the hoof? 5) how do you know how much to trim them back?
Hey so I’m not a farrier but I know a fair amount about their feet because I am a horse owner, so i can answer a few questions. so usually you get the shoes replaced about every 6 weeks, it also depends on how fast your horses feet grow. Horses feet just like our have a size, that is also why the put it on hot so they can mold the shoe. They trimmed the middle part out because it grows as well. That part is called a frog. I hope this helps!
@@jayda.eq0884 I'm assuming they put it on hot to melt the hoof flat to perfectly fit the shoe right? Looks like he was also using the scorch marks as a guide for the trimming on the inside.
@@jayda.eq0884 What is the yellow and white thing on their hoofs?
@@ninajavan2124 If you mean that semi-triangular fleshy bit, that's the frog. It's the start of the tissue part of the whole 'foot,' while the hoof is essentially a big toenail. They cut a bit off of this the same way a pedicurist would shave off calluses on our feet.
@@jayda.eq0884 so i know that this doesn’t hurt the horse, but can you explain how it doesn’t hurt the horse exactly? do they not have many nerves down in their feet or something?
Watching this at 1am instead of sleeping is so satisfying 😂
Hey that's me
Same time
Indeed, your work is hard and exhausting. Don't be tired. Thank you for helping this noble animal easily.
I used to watch more of your videos. But I found this Scottish bloke who works on cows, the hoof gp. And he explains out everything and as soothing as I find your videos....I'll admit I'd like some insight on the how's and why's of stuff like this hoof restoration.
The horse is so relaxed and its satisfying to watch at the same time
You are a miracle worker dude!!! I love watching this stuff. I actually feel as good as the animal just watching and knowing they're feeling better and their pain will be alleviated!! Great job dude!! XOXOXOXO. Peace.
They're not really in pain before that at all..but yeah it's probably a lot of weight off their legs so it's easier to walk
Scraping the frog gets me so satisfied quickly
In this case you should not watch the videos from Far East ("overgrown hooves - donkeys") because those trimmers don`t know the basics and """""forget""""" to treat the frogs!!
Love your work there. Thanks.
I never thought watching someone clean a horses hove to be so satisfying
From zits to ear wax to hooves.
Fun fact: Horses don't have pain receptors in their hooves, so basically that means the end part of their hooves are like giant nails.
I honestly find this satisfying to watch and really calms me down.
It’s super crazy that this doesn’t hurt them!you are so gentle with them
It feels like a lot of like not pressure but like tapping
Well it’s pretty much nail, so there are no nerves unless you get about half an inch or so into the hoof. Therefore no pain
@@ElizabethPayetyes you're right
Please use that metal brush on the dirt on the sole before trimming with your knives haha I flinch every time🙈🤣 absolutely love your videos! // Farrier student from Sweden.
Holy CRAP I've never seen so much frog growth! Great watch, thank you!
Excellent work I'm a Farrier myself . Shoe road horses, but I love the long shoe. Don't know if you've tried it or not but the iCar loop knife is great for frog trimming.
Wow. What extraordinary farrier skill! Absolutely gorgeous.
I remember the farrier coming to our farm to shoe our horse. This brought back so many memories but also I am old enough now to appreciate such a refined level of craftsmanship. It is amazing to watch you work.
I never knew the nails were that long... like i knew they somehow nailed them to the hoof but damn. You learn something every day
This guy is a true artisan! Loving the spiffy little notch in the front. PS - I know nothing of horses, but love them all!
Wow! He even shined his shoes! This is the kind of pride I love seeing put into work. Great job.
Surprisingly, I thought that by going into the comments I would find a lot of people who believe that it is very painful for horses, but here on the contrary there are a lot of people who admire this work.🇷🇺
You know you are a horse person when you admire how those are some nice 👌 healthy frogs. 😆
I like how you reused the nail to pull his hood hair back. I’ve never seen anyone do that. Usually that wrap tape or cellophane. And I’ve been watching hoof videos, horse, cow, donkeys for like a month straight! Everyday! I find them fascinating!
DIOS TE BENDIGA! A ti y a tu familia por ayudar a los animalitos!
Amazing skill. So impressed. I do have one question, what happens to the nail ends that you twist off with the hammer? Do they go on the ground? Do they stick to the hammer with some kind of magnet? Seems like it would be dangerous otherwise. I keep looking but can't see where they go. Thank you
Magnet 🧲.
Otimo profissional... Lindo trabalho, com qualidade e rapidez... Parabens !!!!
