Actually, under the Apron or Chaps the legs are bent more than the back, we try to keep the back from taking the downward pressure during parts of the process. Hands, forearm's, lumbar muscles calves all develop really tone. Also, if the horse is friendly doesn't really care you can take your time, it's when the horse is being bitten by deer or horse fly's that's when the horse won't stand still, so spray your horse before the Farrier arrives please. And for that matter the barn too...

Since she brought it up I have to say that the Bible doesn’t teach a works based Salvation…It teaches that Jesus’ sacrifice alone was enough to pay for the sins of the world and each of us must accept that gift in order to receive it. Repentance is necessary too but that is part of belief…when you truly see your sin and how it stands between you and a Holy God then you make a decision to turn from it. You will screw up and at times go back to sin but you do not stay in that state…when you truly trust in Jesus then the Holy Spirit resides within you from then on. Any good works we do are an effect of knowing God more and learning to be more like Him. We will never be perfect on this earth and that’s why we need Jesus’ sacrifice. I hope that clarified something for anyone reading and I’m sorry there are so many out there misrepresenting Jesus. Just remember that we are only people. If we harm or offend you, please don’t blame that on Jesus. And please go read His own Words and call out to Him for His wisdom and understanding and trust that you will receive that from Him.

Horses quickly get used to having their hooves attended to if treated well from the beginning. They can get impatient and a bit uncomfortable at times but a good farrier will never hurt a horse.

And shoeing is for preventing unnecessary damage to the hoove, from cracks to infections to make their job easier (like this time) by adding more traction.

Obviously, if you put an iron on your finguernail itll hurt since your finguernails are very tin and the heat will transfer on the skin below, but the horse hooves are very thick, so the heat doesnt make it. Its the same way as wheb you iron your hairs to straighten them if you have long hairs. The temperature is well able to completely burn your flesh, but you dont feel it since your hairs are far from your head skin If the process was in any way painful or even just too inconvenient for the horse, the horse would have reacted by pulling back its leg, moving or something, which it did not do

All signs of a grade A farrier. I can see why you are working at the school. This was my idea of a dream job when I was a little girl, but I now am disabled with chronic pain, chronic migraines, and vertigo, so there's no way I could do any of it now. Cheers to you sir and the horses.

Just think, somewhere out there, in another world, reality, maybe even in another lifetime, you did exactly that job, day and night until that dinner bell rang to call you home for supper. You felt good about the work you did because you knew how much the horses appreciated your skilled and expert hand, and the crafting of metal was something that always made your soul sing. You may be wearing a different 'outfit' in this life and have set yourself a different set of goals, but the ferrier will always be a part of you and you can call on his mettle whenever you need it in life❤️

Hands, forearm's, lumbar muscles calves all develop really tone. Also, if the horse is friendly doesn't really care you can take your time, it's when the horse is being bitten by deer or horse fly's that's when the horse won't stand still, so spray your horse before the Farrier arrives please.

Since she brought it up I have to say that the Bible doesn’t teach a works based Salvation…It teaches that Jesus’ sacrifice alone was enough to pay for the sins of the world and each of us must accept that gift in order to receive it. Repentance is necessary too but that is part of belief…when you truly see your sin and how it stands between you and a Holy God then you make a decision to turn from it. You will screw up and at times go back to sin but you do not stay in that state…when you truly trust in Jesus then the Holy Spirit resides within you from then on. Any good works we do are an effect of knowing God more and learning to be more like Him. We will never be perfect on this earth and that’s why we need Jesus’ sacrifice. I hope that clarified something for anyone reading and I’m sorry there are so many out there misrepresenting Jesus. Just remember that we are only people. If we harm or offend you, please don’t blame that on Jesus. And please go read His own Words and call out to Him for His wisdom and understanding and trust that you will receive that from Him.

Superb sir. You transported me back in time to 1956, I was 10 years old on the way home from school we always stopped at what we called in those days, the blacksmith, now they're called farriers. My brother and I used to pump the huge leather bellows that blew air into the forge to heat the steel shoes, we would lead and hold the horses for the farmers and riders. Wonderful memories.
A farrier is half blacksmith half horse foot guy. A general blacksmith is mostly about metalwork, and may or may not be a farrier as well
Cool stuff!
They're still considered blacksmiths! Or should be, anyway. The work is the same.
A blacksmith is a metal worker, a farrier looks after horses shoeing. I once sailed with a 3rd engineer who said he started work as an apprentice blacksmith in the shipyards in Middlesborough, but in the old days they did tend to call the blacksmith and farrier, just the blacksmith.
You were born in 1946 hella cool!!
My main takeaway is just how much these guys care about their patients. It is rivaled only by how much they care about their craftsmanship.

Hey I have one question to ask. Do the horses feel pain or their skin is very hard they don't feel anything on legs ?
I think the budget of the owner here is a bit larger xD
@@vineetagrawal8701 Yes of course they feel pain - and they will let the farrier know if he is hurting them! They have to work very precisely once they get near the 'live' part of the hoof of course, but most of the outside of the hoof is not sensitive, it is like the bit of your finger and toe nails that you can cut and file. Horses quickly get used to having their hooves attended to if treated well from the beginning. They can get impatient and a bit uncomfortable at times but a good farrier will never hurt a horse. BTW I come from a long family line of farriers in the UK.

Taking this straight from Google, but this work should last at least four to six weeks before needing to be done again. It's certain worth the prep time.
@@iratecynic6745 that's absolutely incredible. Best to do it well each time. I'd rather get someone this skilled to spend eight hours shoeing my horse than get an hour-long bungled job!!
I never thought watching a horse “get their nails done” would be so interesting. 😃 but it is.
welcome to the club
More interesting and educational than watching the junk that's on regular TV these days!
Nice job….nails nice and straight …not to far up…….well done!
Bruh ya are obviously from the city if this is intresting lol

This is so amazing. Total trust from the horse. And genuine talent from the farrier.
The strength these guys must have , what a workout of the body and mind. Must be very rewarding. Also 7.5M views in 2 months, very much deserved.
My grandfather 1885-1972 would absolutely love your work. He was tough to work for, which was a good thing. The transformation of that foot and the shoe forging was first class. Keep on keeping on.

as an artist and also a rider of 10+ years, how the hell you made the curve of that horseshoe so freaking even is mind boggling
I took a two day blacksmithing class 15 years ago....I have mad respect for anyone who makes a custom shoe.
Wonderful work. Thank goodness for craftsmen such as yourself. It is an honor to be able to watch you work.
Man, you do wonderful work! You could see the appreciation on the horse’s face! Thank you Sir.
you know these horses are crazy well cared for when the owners call a farrier like this! its INCREDIBLE to watch just how personalizied the shoes are and how fast the farrier is able to make them. at this point it might aswell be art!
dude did you see the shape those hooves were in before he started? they should have called a farrier in a while before this
@@bri4rpatch129 possibly a rescue in a new housing situation
@@bri4rpatch129 a couple reasons why that could be: 1. This could be a rescue horse that they recently got. 2. It could’ve taken awhile for the farrier to get to their horses (sometimes it takes awhile for these kinds of people to be available)
@@bri4rpatch129 You are right. He said in the comment section of another video, when someone asked where all these heavily neglected horses came from, that the school provides a big discount on their services and you'd be surprised how many people don't have the budget to get their animals proper hoofcare. They also treat cases that other farriers won't take.
Yeah.. “crazy well cared for”
Sir ... Your skill is quite astounding. What impressed me most was that the sizing was so exact. Thank you so much for showing us how it should be done. Dave UK.
Yes . He knew the horses foot and visually measured it . He's badass.
Bless these men who do honest good work that benefits those around them! Fantastic job, brother
That is truly incredible, impressive, highly skilled work. I am so grateful there are people like this farrier who love and care for these beautiful creatures.
As a horse owner, it's so oddly satisfying watching your farrier work on your horses feet. I know shoeing draft horses is different than most other horses, but this is still very cool.
How much does it cost to shoe a horse in this manner?
@@RedPillSurvival It depends on the individual farrier, what type of horse it is, and what's being done. My horse is $80 every 6-8 weeks, just for a trim. He is a Swedish warmblood, which is a fairly decent size horse, but he doesn't wear shoes.
It's a honse not a horse
@@irrelevantfool9787 What?
I didnt even know what a horse is before ive seen this beautiful creature today and its very satisfying
I love that I'm watching a process that is largely unchanged from its 2,000 year old origins. I feel like I'm watching history. This is the kind of work that has kept civilization going throughout the ages!
Yes, largely unchanged of hurting the horse with nails into his feet since 2000 years.
@@teluguabbayi5676 they normal don't feel anything down there if you don't know that yet lmao, infact they get piss off if no one do that for them so next time do your research first if you don't want to look like a clown
@@teluguabbayi5676 Horses that are domesticated NEED their hooves done. Since they don't walk in the wild and don't "file" their hooves on hard terrain, their hooves grow too much and came become a problem if not treated. Even cows and bulls need a trim sometime. And shoeing is for preventing unnecessary damage to the hoove, from cracks to infections to make their job easier (like this time) by adding more traction. Also, they don't feel pain, it's like working on our hair, you can cut, dye, curl them and you don't feel anything because there are no nervous terminations.
Not doing it would hurt them. Recently i had to call animal protection service, because there were some donkeys with hooves way to long, two of them couldn‘t neither walk or even stand properly because of it.
@@teluguabbayi5676 what do windows taste like?
I’ve never understood how much work, love and care goes into having horses. Amazing
You're right, they are a ton of work. With trimming, and shoeing the farrier is doing all of the work. When you take the horse home then the work of feeding, cleaning, grooming, and exercise is all yours.
that was therapeutic watching you work your craft sir!.. horse stayed calm like he knew he was in for the pampering treatment!.. thank you
That horse looking so bored and staring off into the distance while you aggressively hammered smoking hot iron onto his hoof was strangely hilarious.
I honestly don't understand a single thing you're doing, but it is fascinating to watch. I am truly impressed. Love watching your videos so much!
whats really cool about these videos is that the Horse is so calm during this whole process. They KNOW what is happening and probably feel good about it too when the work is done.
This is wonderful to watch. The craftsmanship and care is evident in the manner of the horse and the end result.
my brain still can't comprehend how a searing piece of metal doesn't hurt the horse. obviously it doesn't or the horse wouldn't have let you do it, but that's crazy to me! thank you for teaching me something new 😀
The part of the hoof that gets touched by the hot metal is the same material as your fingernails. As long as the heat doesn't touch the quick, it doesn't hurt at all.
yup, they dont feel the hoof, kind of how we cut it like this video loll
I'm impressed the smoke didn't alarm the horse, all heat aside
@@salemkittie It did seem a little curious about all the smoke, though.
Its the same stuff as your nails or hairs. It doesnt hurt to cut your nails/hairs. Nor does it to burn it. Obviously, if you put an iron on your finguernail itll hurt since your finguernails are very tin and the heat will transfer on the skin below, but the horse hooves are very thick, so the heat doesnt make it. Its the same way as wheb you iron your hairs to straighten them if you have long hairs. The temperature is well able to completely burn your flesh, but you dont feel it since your hairs are far from your head skin If the process was in any way painful or even just too inconvenient for the horse, the horse would have reacted by pulling back its leg, moving or something, which it did not do
As somebody who’s only ever seen a horse stable twice in his life, much less a whole ass ranch, it is definitely alarming at first to see you nail glowing hot metal to the foot of an animal like that. But the fact that the horse didn’t even flinch made me look it up and realize how hooves are/why shoes are still made that way… makes perfect sense, but still absolutely wild to see. My feet sure as hell wouldn’t stand up to an iron shoe straight outta the forge lol
Well it's like thick as fuck cornea. Stinks to the heavens, but it's a perfect fit for the individual horse. This video was very fun to watch :D
My foot is on fire but... I don't feel it. Fine by me
I was thinking the exact same thing!!
@@BOSSMOPS. thanks for the flashbacks to dehorning day on the dairy.
imagine just standing in the pillar of horse hoof smoke just trying to get that fit though
What a difference you have made in this hoof. Thank you for sharing.🐴
I've never had a horse, I don't think I'll be lucky enough to have one either and yet I find watching your videos to be incredibly gratifying. Thank you for sharing your videos and helping out these poor neglected but majestic and noble animals
You sir are quite the craftsman. The shoe fits perfectly, the hoof is level, the nails all come out at the same distance, and the horse despite not having a trim in a while stayed calm and didn't fuss while you worked. All signs of a grade A farrier. I can see why you are working at the school. This was my idea of a dream job when I was a little girl, but I now am disabled with chronic pain, chronic migraines, and vertigo, so there's no way I could do any of it now. Cheers to you sir and the horses.
Just think, somewhere out there, in another world, reality, maybe even in another lifetime, you did exactly that job, day and night until that dinner bell rang to call you home for supper. You felt good about the work you did because you knew how much the horses appreciated your skilled and expert hand, and the crafting of metal was something that always made your soul sing. You may be wearing a different 'outfit' in this life and have set yourself a different set of goals, but the ferrier will always be a part of you and you can call on his mettle whenever you need it in life❤️
@@litebrite8993 Um...wow. That really touched me. I really needed to hear that right now...it's one of those points in life when people ask how you're *really* doing and you still have to fake smile and say, "Oh, fine," because the people around you need you to be at least okay, and you can't afford to break down any worse than you already have...
@@Just1Nora I'm so glad that my msg helped you in some way. Always remember that life is so much MORE than what they tell us it is. That WE are so much more. We are more than just the sum of our experiences or the endurance of our pain. Those are things that happen to us, and as difficult and painful as they can be, it is not who we are. It is not who You are. You are not your pain or your limitations. The world can try and trap your spirit in many creative and challenging ways, but just try and keep the heart of a metalsmith from lighting up at the sight of a piece of glowing hot metal, or keep at a canter the horse that is determined to run. When you remember who you really are, what you are, you take back every piece of power your pain ever stole ❤️ Wishing you from my heart, the freedom of knowing you're already free.
I have read and skimmed . but i have to come back here , maybe i can help someone . If you are sick, I suggest you find a group about eating vegetables and fruits that will help you heal. Learn about it and stay away from Western medicine.

Did you see his beautiful eyes? What a gorgeous boy, happy with his new shoes.
Ready to go on a hot date.!
@@keineahnung5793 someone in the comments said it appears to be a Friesian horse but to be honest I didn't check if it was a male or not! Could have been a female.
I've never seen the full process done and I have to say, I am amazed how beautiful it turned out in the end. What a craftmanship
That was impressive to watch. The trimming of the hoof, then taking a straight piece of metal and creating the exact shoe for the horse’s needs. You have a new subscriber, I look forward to seeing more!!!
Never ceases to amaze me how trusting and patient horses can be when people are dealing with them.
This is just incredible craftsmanship. What a work of art
I wish had a spa day like that! Real craftsmanship and care.
Hats off to the skill, craftsmanship and hard work these farriers possess! Additionally, the care and respect shown to these horses is really appreciated. Great post.
YOUNG MAN "YOU'' ARE AN EXTRAORDINARY FERRIER - The horse trusts you and he likes you because you truly know what you're doing- you are confident, caring and attentive to horses hooves - the horses feel comforted by by your grooming - Its obvious you alleviate their discomfort very well, Their feet look wonderful after seeing you~
Wow, that was fascinating! Great job and 👍 to the horse owner for taking care of his horses hooves!
The look on the horses face when that red hot shoe goes on….lmfaOooo 😂😂😂😂
As a city boy and one who knows nothing much at all about horses, I am amazed that the animal just stands there patiently while you work on its foot. I would have loved to have had such cooperation out of my dogs. LOL
Both take training.
I think as long as the horse does not feel threatened and you dont hurt it, and with the training Cheryl said you are fine
Horses are surprisingly calm considering the shoeing process. I was a farrier for 20 years in the UK and I'd say 80% of the horses I shod stood as well as this one. The most likely ones to be difficult are young horses, but if handled properly from the beginning they're fine
Most dog folks don't teach their dogs to accept paw holdings and restraint in general from a young age. I've had young dogs scream and flip out when they're restrained for the first time
😂
That was so amazing to watch, and such a pleasure to see the horse being so willing and knowing new shoes were coming. that must feel so nice for the horse afterwards. 💗
I'm impressed. I have never understood how a skill of a blacksmith horseshoes or when the origin of a horse needed the horseshoe with the horse's relaxed animal sense to be shoed. I especially am fascinated how the years of a needed skill for an animal will never be different through the decades past...thank you!
Been a ferrier, blacksmith is honest hard work, I remember over fifty years ago the local horse auctions would have some tough people knocking around. No one would ever mess with the ferrier.
I always wondered how people actually attached the shoes and seeing you nail straight into the hoof without hesitation gave me such a visceral reaction. I know it Dosent hurt the horse, but it’s so weird to see it’s just an uncomfy feeling. Still glad his feet are okay
I know me too but thankfully horse shoes help domestic horses overall ^^
Have to remember one little thing. That nail is not going into the foot, it's going into the toenail. It's the same as you clipping your toenails.
It goes through the wall, or outside. A farrier knows how to place the nail shop that it doesn't quick the house and cause pain.
This was truly eye opening, had no idea how dedicated you had to be to practice this profession. Happy horse I’m sure!
Such an amazing craft. We can see it's done with skill. The horse can feel it's done with LOVE . Blessings🙏🏻💕
Work horses are usually the humblest, quietiest and sweetest horses..poor guy needed to have had more maintenance and love shown upon him 😢❤ also dont forget to applying oil on afterwards! After sanding down the hoof the barrier is removed and allows wate to evaporate
This is my first time watching a video like this. You give new meaning to the phrase "if the shoe fits..wear it" !!! Makes me think twice about getting a pedicure though lol keep up the excellent work my friend..this is your calling..to care for us all. Thank you many times over. Hugs and love from Brooklyn NYC 💕
A true master craftsman. You make it look so easy, as anyone at the upper echelons of their chosen field often does. A knowledge slowly gained over many, many years I'm sure. Thank you for the work that you do for the horses and for sharing your craft with the world, made my day.

I have no idea why I watch these videos, I’ve never seen a horse in person and I’m sure I never will. But the way you all take such good care of these sweet animals is very soothing and satisfying. Thank you for sharing 😅
Once you smell the delicious smell of a horse there's no going back
Skills. Practice makes it all perfect. No matter what you do. But you've gotta love it because without LOVE, nothing is possible ! I really enjoyed watching this!
Great job thank you for taking good care of of these beautiful horses I know they feel a lot better after and appreciate the love you show and give them God bless and be with you all and your families always Amen. Stay Safe 👮🏻♂️🙏🏻💙🚔🚨
This is a really amazing job. The peace and quiet and sound of hammering in the background is just therapeutic.
Therapeutic for whom?
It's nice to see when a owner of a horse has taught the horse to have their feet picked and worked on. Respect to them!!! And a job well done.
Damn, the nice sound of men at work with no annoying music; thank you for that! Love the video!
I will say, whoever thought of this channel not only capitalized on the rising popularity of these horse hoof videos but also the blacksmithing audience well done
If you are into hooves, check out the ones on treating cattle. They aren't as compliant as horses and a whole different ballgame when it comes to foot care.
This is a farrier school, so they should have been on the cutting edge of this trend and not lagging behind it.
For the people wondering a Farrier will have several pre cast shoes in various sizes they will select the closest size to the horse they are working with and re shape it normally in this case they made them from blank as this was a working horse am guessing ? The lip at the front is to reduce slip and help stop the horse going lame and or throwing a shoe 😁👌
And the little heel?
@@stephaniex_x7275 am not a farrier but grew up on livery yard mum bred horses for dressage / show jumping so am no expert but If I remember right it's to stop the shoe slipping or twisting once fitted
@@harms-jm7gx That's so cool! And thank you.
@@harms-jm7gx maybe it's that fact that helps the horse with traction, a very firm shoe that wont slip. And being a workhorse he probably puts big stress on those hooves
What an amazing skill. It’s absolutely an art. I lived in an area where all the neighbors had horses- except us. Some race horses, some pleasure & some work horses. It was always fascinating to watch you professionals work. My question is: Who lets their horse’s hooves get so overgrown? Is this a rescuer program for the school? Whatever it is -so satisfying to watch. Keep up the wonderful work. What a skill set !
Wow. So many skills all used in one profession. I could watch this all day.
Absolutely flawless job!! So gentle and caring and topped off with skill makes for the perfect experience for both the horse and us.. Thank you..
This horse is getting a nice pedicure and he likes it, plus he is getting a brand new set of custom hand made shoes. Awesome job sir, two thumbs way up.
You guys are amazing. I love watching you work
A true, gentle giant of a horse
That horse is a good horse, I'm glad he got his feet trimmed. Thanks for helping keep the food on the table for everyone on the ranch! Many hays and nays to this big chunk of love and muscle ❤
It's almost like the horse enjoyed the pedicure. He just kind of took it all in and never flinched. You did a great job and your cameraman (or woman) did a great job too! Thank you so very much from this old Marine.
Why would he flinch ?
@@candyman9635 It had been awhile and he's not use to it, perhaps?
@@bocabec6744 There's nothing to get used to though, there's no nerve endings in the parts being trimmed.
@@candyman9635 I'd flinch anyway if I had some dude mess with my toenails and then felt a burning smell and saw a lot of smoke.
@@elFulberto yeah cause you're a human being not a horse, that's not argument I'm afraid.
You’ve definitely given this boy a nee lease on lifr. The relief must be immense. Great job. I never though at the start of the video that you could get them that close to perfect.😍😍
Absolutely beautiful work! Thanks for posting these videos!
Horses are amazing. I haven't been around them much but they *are* prey animals, and the trust it takes for any creature to hand over a hoof/foot/paw is easy to underestimate.
They are trained to have their feet handled. If you start when they are real young, it works out the best.
That was very unexpected. It was quite fascinating to see him mold that horseshoe. I was not expecting that when I clicked on the video to watch them trim the hoof.
Sir, this video is the definition of relaxing and satisfying especially with white noise sound 🥰😌 this is what it's all about!
Amazing I bet the horse feels a thousand times better getting pampered I respect what these folks do
That horse loves the hooves trimming. Watching horses from this channel having their hooves done and stays calm all through out the process is very calming. Thanks you Sir.
I've been a professional dog groomer for many years. Wish the dogs were as calm for nail trims as these horses are when a farrier works on them. Most dogs are certain they are going to die when the nail clippers come out, so watching a horse stand calmly is delightful.
Love the horses expression when the smoke billows out XD hes like "umm excuse me wtf"
I think all of us who have spent our adult lives working at desks, admire what you farmers get to do for a living. Healthy lifestyle
What a fantastic job you did on the hooves of that big and gentle horse. What a difference and a lot of hard work performed by you. Thank you so much also for excellent video. 💖🍀♥️🐎♥️🍀💖
He's a magnificent horse, and that's a shoe fit for him! Well done sir😊
I like it very much
It seemed to me it was a friesian horse looking at the mane, socks and overall black colour.
