The mud is here and the horses seem to love rolling in it!
This is Gala, he's now 23 so getting on a bit. He doesn't do much so only has front shoes on. He has sensitive feet so you will notice that I quickly tack one on so he doesn't have to stand barefoot on the concrete for too long.

PLEASE READ THE FAQ's BEFORE POSTING!!
1: Hot shoeing ensures a good fit.
2: No, it doesn't hurt the horse if it's shod correctly by a qualified registered person.
3: The horse is calm because it has been trained from birth to know there is nothing to fear.
4: The majority of horses these days are worked either under saddle or in harness and on hard man made surfaces, shoes protect the feet from wearing down too much and can add grip via studs in the shoes for competition animals.
5: Feral horses have particularly hard feet and manage them naturally by foraging.
6: The average horse needs re-shoeing every 6-8 weeks
7: The bit I am nailing to has no nerves and is made of Keratin, the same as your finger nails and hair.
8: The burning smells just like burning hair.

Everyone keeps asking if this hurts the horse, TRUST ME the horse will let you know if it is experiencing any pain or discomfort. No horse would be standing there like nothing if this actually hurt
There is definitely confidence in the owner's skill and some trust involved, in that position the horse could REALLY hurt him if if wanted to. Pretty cool to see.
I know that the hot shoeing doesn't hurt the horse but I still cringe just a little bit lol
yes, you can trust me on this as well. the horse is not hurting.
It just smells like burnt hair. That’s the only bad thing about it lol

For those who are saying “why is he cutting the frog” he is scraping of the dry skin so this doesn’t hurt the horse at all. And trust me if you hurt the horse whilst picking out it’s hoofs/ clipping it’s hoofs or trimming them you would know about it💥⚰️

17:28 aww the horse lifted his foot for him
Yep. That's a well behaved horse. Nice and calm just like every farrier likes it 🙂
Dana Kocourková I want a red chicken now
Yeah, it is generally expected of a horse to lift its feet because there feet are handled at least once a day (not to this extent they only get this done every 6-8 weeks) so most horses are quite used to picking them up on cue, but agreed it was quite cute🙂
So much pain right 😂😂
@@Dana-koc my pa had to do a rowdy horse & gave him an apple and he was good after that.

Tbh I wouldn't be surprised if they did, I mean they're basically getting pedicure like you said, it must feel great walking with newly shoed hooves
lmao my boy falls asleep on the poor farrier. I’d say he likes it but I can’t speak for all horses

*Amazing when the horse lets you do your work, it seems like he knows you're helping him.*
He knows, horses are not stupid
Horses get re shoed since they are babies so they are uses to it. They just let you do it
Sometimes they do kick you while ur under them
After a while, this started to feel like I was in some kind of farming simulator
I went from watching cars get painted to a horse getting new shoes...this is so satisfying
Y'all if that horse felt even the smallest amount of discomfort, he wouldn't let the guy keep on touching him
Ok
*gets kicked*
Two Princes he would have kicked him or sum
He isn’t hurting it

HollyAnne 🥂❤️🤝💏
Everyone who’s asking if it hurts, no, it doesn’t. Their hooves are made of the same stuff our hair, fingernails and toenails are made of. It’s called Keratin. So, if you’ve ever been hit on the nail, it hurts right? That’s not the nail. It’s the nerves underneath. So, the horses don’t feel it at all since it’s so much “nail” there and the nerves are practically non-existent. The frog (triangular part on the hoof) is the most sensitive part of the hoof and may hurt a little if a farrier goes too rough on the hoof.
Also, the person who did this horses hooves did an amazing job! And also, the burning of the hoof doesnt hurt either. He’s making a path for the horseshoe I believe. Or something like that.
Man this was a more complicated process than I could've imagined
Faarf well duh it takes long for a ferrier to change the hoofs of a HORSE.
He made it kinda complicated. Most shoers have premade sizes and dont heat the shoe. They just beat tf out of it if it doesn't fit
Became study to me. Thank you from Japan :-)
Had a really stressful day... this video was in my recommend section and I watched. I'm no longer stressed.

It was so satisfying seeing the dirt and grime get shaved off its hooves
Picking a horses hoof is one of the most satisfying things ever. I hope you get the chance to sometime
I literally know NOTHING about horses other than they exist but I find your videos strangely therapeutic.
Most of our history humans and horses were together - at war and at peaceful times, may be it's in our genes to like horses even on the screen.
17:27 I love how the horse just lifted his hoof up like “I’m ready for the next shoe”.
I always find it so satisfying to watch these when they're done right. Keep up the good work dude.
I wonder if when they get back to the others they are like "OMG YASSS I GOTS NEW SHOOEESSS!!"

All the vegans in the comments saying how painful this must feel for the horse it is painless its like cutting your nails it doesn't hurt you don't feel a thing

polk damn bitch I’m vegan and I know that they can’t feel it
@@hattieeittah2511 I was just saying I seen a select few that have pissed me off with their arrogance
Why is having compassion for the horse a bad thing? If you dont know about horses you probably thinks this hurts. Dumbass
This doesn't hurt the horse. Horse's hoof is very resistant and they don't have any neural connection or nerves where u do the shoeing, so they don't feel a thing. This is very important to the horse, otherwise, his steps may not be balanced and this can cause serious problems to the horse health, its body and even compromise his column. Which a would make the animal suffer and cause a lot of trouble to the owner. Now takes a lot of resources to keep up a horse, would u think the owner would rly want that happening? There is no one more concern about a particular horse's health than its owner. Do not worry about it.
finally I could sleep calmly, thanks a lot
I understand it causes no pain and it's better for the horse, but having no horseshoe in nature does any harm to it?
@@beedentist1223 but this isnt a wild horse lol
Nikolas Ragner Wild horses are typically walking on softer terrain so they’re fine without horseshoes, domesticated horses walk around on rough terrain so the horseshoe protects them. Think of it like you walking barefoot on grass compared to walking on concrete, grass will be softer but you’ll definitely want more protection when walking on concrete
+1
i love watching your videos just because of the set up you got in that truck you are a true master of your craft with the tools to handle anything
This was a full ASMR experience 😂
I bet that horse feels like it's walking on air after that !! Great skill.
Guys, No, It doesn't hurt the horse, a horses hoof is like our finger nails. if the nails for the shoe are put in wrong then it may hurt, but if its done correctly it wont hurt at all.
These are the best hoof-cleaning videos I can find on KZhead. They’re so relaxing and satisfying to watch. Thank you ^^
This is great video! I love watching people doing something professionally even if their craft is far away from what I do. You can still feel the inspiration of honest work and this is what KZhead is for. Thank you and hope your back has recovered! (After watching this video I better go and take a rest...)
Horse : Yeah hooman clean my dirty foot.
:c I have questions
When the guy came to put on the second hoove, the horse raised it's leg by itself... sooo cute

cool horse
I play this video everytime I want to sleep, it always gets me to sleep. I love it!
Horse: gets new shoe Me: ah yes Gucci clip clops

Yup its that time off night , I don't even own a horse
Bro, every time the guy went to grab the horseshoe, I cringed, because it made me think about how many times I would've picked up the hot shoe with my bare hand like an idiot. XD

Lmfao same
You would only make that mistake 1 time.
Why is this so freaking satisfying to watch?!?!
I dunno why but this is oddly satisfying. Just seeing somebody do this kind of job and having it perfected is amazing
*PLEASE READ // PLEASE READ* Dissapoints me to see this video with a 12/1 dislike ratio purely because so many people can't be bothered to read the description or have a lack of basic knowledge before disliking. What you see in this video is much like manicuring human nails but on a very different scale. It obviously requires more manpower and far more training, aswell as a wide range of tools, but what you are seeing here is literally a *MUST DO* for all horses/ponies if the owners don't want them to wear away their own hooves and practically hurt themselves on the yard. Horse hooves are made from Keratin, the same stuff as our Nails or Hair is made from. This Keratin contains no nerve endings and horses even enjoy/appreciate this in some cases. *STOP FRETTING,* because this is helping Gala keep his hooves in a comfortable and presentable condition. 16 years of age and have owned many horses/ponies since I was 4, been around them since literal birth. Family live in a little English suburban town right beside the countryside, by the way. Love the animals, one of the best anyone could ever work with. :)
Daddy Dunk Thanks for this I was gonna make one but ya beat me to it
Okay, but imagine how relived the horse feels after this? " YESSS THE DIRT AND MUD IS FINALLY GONEEE "
I literally see (and smell) this all 8 weeks, but it's still so mesmerising to watch
This is so satisfying to watch
I wonder if the horse is thinking "o yea buddy that feels good" when that stuff is getting scraped off
Alissa Violet getting braces isn’t scary
Yes 🥰 all that dirt feels like as if you had mud or something under your nails.

Pancal raimu kene kon ngkokk
It's probably not the most comfortable standing with your leg like that for 10 minutes but wouldn't you like to see your nails cleaned?

amazing work! thank you so much for uploading this video 👍😉
Wow you gotta do all of this every 6-8 weeks ? And that's only for 2 hooves of one horse ?!!! That's crazy how can you even take care of like more than 4 horses ?? Between washing, brushing, training, exercising, feeding and medical attention, that's so much ! Also i'm impressed by how well their hooves heal since those holes are nowhere to be seen appart from the fresh ones.
This is just the farrier's job, the rest of the work belongs to the horse's owner.
@@larrybrown6068 Oh so there is a job to take care of horse shoe ? I wouldn't have guessed xd i expected farmers or people who have horses to take care of all of it themselves but i guess it makes sense.
In the uk, to shoe a horse you must be a qualified farrier. You can trim your own, but if you want shoes it must be done by a farrier. It's what my husband does as a job.
@@larrybrown6068 Woah that's really cool, i just didn't expect you could pay someone to do this but now taht i've watched a videos i can see why you'd need to be qualified, and the guy looks like he really knows what he's doing, thanks for the info !
You are most welcome.

It’s cool how the horse almost seems to like it. No hesitation or anything
I can't even get my dog to stand still and lift her paws for 10 seconds to dry them after a rainy walk in the park....
sweet tea then you should try training them/conditioning them to be ok with it
@@rebeccawilliams9415 I was exaggerating.
Tbf, horses are trained to pick up their feet from when they are foals
sweet tea thats the big difference between a dog and a horse a horse has a way more intelligent brain then a dog. But a dog has a better sensory system then a horse so they come across as being smarter animals lol. I wish horses were aloud to be owned in the city in canada id glady have one hahah
sweet tea horses are more mature than dogs. I mean adult horses are
It's so cute how he knows what you're doing and lifts his foot up.
I don’t get why this is so satisfying to watch.
The shoe of the horse grows and sheds like a nail would. When we as humans put the shoe on it's to help them walk on our hard man made surfaces. Not soft rassy plains like where they are naturally. But thier nails still keep growing. So that's why you need to change and file around the horseshoes. It's like having acrylics to help protect your nails but actually way less invasive because horses have incredibly thick nails and ours are not as thick also no chemicals haha. Horses feet also spread out as they get older and they tend to get rot and such in the feet. The shoes helps there feet not spread as much and it helps keep rot away and it helps people to check and groom the feet more often. It actully extends the horses lives if done properly and consistently. Nothing kills a horse faster than a bad foot or leg. You have to shoot lame horses because they are built to have 4 strong legs and feet to stand on. Without one the are completely crippled and can't move. So it's more humane to shoot then to let them keep living stuck on one place. Horses will mourn themselfs to death over stress like that. Anyway they are good for them. I personally think horses like it when you put them on. Sometimes they lean into it becuase they like you supporting their weight for them and giving there legs a break lol. Also they cannot feel it at all becuase their nails are so thick. It's like how you get your nails or hair cut.
rhiannon hookings thanks for this ! Also another question so it doesn’t hurt them when he’s hammering the nails into the nails ?
@@lorrayne8535 There's is technique involved. You can most definitely mess up a horses foot if you dont know what your doing. There are parts to avoid like the little black v hes moving around. That's actually tissue near there. But for the hammering no. It doesn't hurt. It might uncomfortable. And I stress MIGHT. It's different from animal to animal. Like some people can handle having those little rings put in a small hole in their nails and not think it feels weird but I think it feels weird lol. So a horse might think the feeling is strange and only because of that might get antsy. But nothing akin to pain or hurt. Only preference. Some animals dont mind stuff some others do. It's more gotta do with the temperment of the animal. Would I put a shoe on a wild horse. No. But would I put a shoe on a horse that's already been broken and raised with people. Yes. Horses are very smart and intuitive. They usually know if you mean well and are doing something good for them. I understand it makes people uncomfortable to watch though. But it really is like the biggest thickest nail. It will only hurt if you hit near tissue this guy did a good job and did not. He treated this horse really nice. If you see he almost never pulls the horses foot to him. The horse just gives him his foot. This horse isn't at all uncomfortable. If you wanna see something weird though look up how you take care of horses teeth. You have to put huge clippers in there mouths and files and rasps. You have to cut and file their teeth. Lol
@@rhiannonhookings7122 You seem knowledgeable, so can I ask - Do you know why he tapped a grove about an inch in from the bottom (shown starting at 1:14 in the video). He took the time to do it so there must be some benefit to it. Yes?
Yes, to cut the clenches off so the shoe can be removed.
i dont know how i got here but im not disappointed
I have 7 horses at the farm and I love watching this being done it’s so satisfying
So fascinating to watch a farrier shoe a horse
