I have nothing to do with horses and although I like them, I would never own one. That said i sometimes find myself just watching horse shoeing. Your video has probably gone viral because some people find it relaxing and theraputic to watch. I don't know why. I cant explain it myself but I can literally watch it for ages. Great vids. Keep it up.

Re - your 'viral' video - I think it was just an exemplary demonstration of a professional at work. Skilled, calm and dexterous. And maybe the heavy breathing was an extra, for some. I'm not a blacksmith, farrier, I own zero horses, but watch and enjoy your videos anyway. What you do is EXCELLENT, don't stop ! Thank you.

Gary, how to you handle the stink? I grew up on the farm and we dehorned the young calves as soon as the horn buds showed up. We used an electric dehorning iron. It burned the horn material and the root which then prevented the horns from ever growing. It got to the point where I couldn't stand it and would get sick at least once every session as we did several at a time. Good on you!

I think that video got so many views it's something to do with the algorithms that KZbin use I did a search horseshoeing and your video was the first one to come up normally the ones that get lots of views have a title that is dramatic they call it clickbait I was wondering if you had any advice on how to acquire blacksmithing equipment today I drove 200 miles to look at an anvil when I got there the Anvil was in a terrible state and the man selling it wanted a fortune for it and would not barter any tips would be greatly appreciated

@garyhuston7 жыл бұрын
+Mark Hatcher Brooks is one of the best today, been around for years. All anvils are expensive but like I said it’s a once in a lifetime buy so buy the best. No, didn’t catch them as far as I know but the police seemed to know all about them when we reported it.

Gary Huston I've noticed in other videos you talk about having problems with your hands gripping things I had a car accident a few years ago and I have not the best grip in my right hand unfortunately I'm right handed are there any tolls or tricks or tips that might help me with my grip problem and once again thanks for making all the videos and for answering my messages you have my thanks and respect sir
@swdweeb7 жыл бұрын
If I may... As someone (me) that is just getting into blacksmithing and only as a weekend hobby, Gary is absolutely correct. He and I have talked about the 2nd or 3rd or 4th hand anvil that I have. I bought it because I thought I wanted to give it a try. I had nothing, but knew I needed an anvil. Like you, I saw a lot of broken pieces of iron that people wanted a lot of money for. When I found mine, it was in pretty good shape, especially for an anvil that was likely manufactured around 1860. I paid $375 for it. My problem is, I love my new hobby and wish I had an anvil with a straight face on it. Take this for what it's worth, but I would try to find, or even make, something that you can hit hot iron on. Find out if you like it enough to invest real money and then go look for a good new anvil. I also wish I weren't so emotional about the cool piece of history that I own and could sell it and use the money to buy a new one. ;-)

@larrybrown60686 жыл бұрын
When you shoe a horse the nail goes through the wall and comes back out, to hold the shoe in place you turn the ends of the nails over. The first thing you have to do when removing the shoe is knock up those turned over ends, called clenches.

@bostjanhren27166 жыл бұрын
How do you determine how much of the hoof needs to go? You need to remove some but keep enough for the new shoe.
@garyhuston6 жыл бұрын
That depends on what type of horse you have and what time of year it is among many other factors. Four years training and a lifetime of experience helps to get it right.
