Horseshoeing a Reining Horse

This horse's hooves had grown and needed trimmed but the shoes were still good to be used for another shoeing cycle (normally 6 to 8 weeks). Which is why I decided to reuse the shoes (aka "resetting"). The shoes being used on this horse are called "sliders." They are applied to the back feet of horses of certain disciplines and their basic function is to reduce traction to allow the horse to perform different maneuvers. This particular horse is a reining horse. I also put front shoes on this horse which I did not include in this video. Putting shoes on a horse does not hurt the animal when done properly.

It’s always nice to subscribe to ultra specific KZbin channels such as this one.

[@wren6311]

Damn that horse is so used to this that he just lifted his big ol foot up when you got near. Shows how much he trusts and likes the whole process.

[@haydenlandry3837]

Never intended to find your videos, but your work is very nice to watch. Hard to find good, wholesome content on KZbin these days. Also I like how you wear the camera upside-down on your head to give the viewers the perspective of watching from in front of you. Very cool, subscribed!👍

[@jesseandjustinshotsaucerev3415]

You are much braver than me. If I ever put a horseshoeing video up I’m sure I would have fifty rocket scientist Horseshoers telling me how I should have done it. Nice job 👍🏻

I enjoyed the video I hope you upload more cheers.

[@maverick_vet]

Thank you so much. I am working on it so stay tuned!

[@maverick_vet]

more good videos coming soon

[@brianlaird22]

Good thing you’re not cold or anything while shoeing lol

[@maverick_vet]

It was a little chilly

[@carsten.hamburg8771]

Very interesting to watch indeed. I have never seen shoes being re-used on regular changing intervals but if it works then great, saves the owner some money. Ours are worn down to less than half of their thickness after 8 weeks in winter (or around 6 in summer) and there is no way we could use them again.

[@kelseymiller2681]

Ugh that looks cooooold!! I'm so glad it doesnt snow like that where i live

[@elizabethrogers1152]

New subscriber here. Don't know how I came across your channel but glad I did! Love everything to do with horses and find this very interesting and informative in what you do. Thanks Liz in Alabama 🐎🐴

[@plebhead_]

It’s like cutting into a coconut

[@anniegraz5991]

The hoof is brown on the outside and white on the inside so yeah kind of

[@karal8617]

i love sliders and appreciate everyone who will put the work into putting them on for people.0

[@IzzyGside961]

They’re a step behind stacking pads on walking horses in terms of being terrible. Look how they lay over the frog? Pretty hard to clean out the frog properly with that kind of fit? I’ve seen a lot of elongated toes with these shoes too. They’re trash..

[@perrytoombs]

Huh i never knew the nails came out the sides and are then bent up. Makes sense tho cos when you clip the hoof back i guess it comes off andddd you dont risk jamming the nail into the horses feet 😅

[@ralphargondizzo7248]

I noticed a lot of hay on the ground underneath you while you are grinding horseshoes. It's probably not going to light on fire when the embers strike it. They will probably go out before they hit the ground. The hay is probably damp enough. Then one day it isn't and you burn the entire barn down, well, because dry hay moves fire a lot faster than you can move water. So, for everyone's safety, grind that shoe away from the hay. Just a suggestion from a guy who knows a guy who burned down a barn shoeing horses.

[@maverick_vet]

Good Point

[@ashlieghsmithson8232]

One tip is if you turn your phone upside down you get to see the first person process but make sure you do it on a table or some where flat

[@strongstone4485]

ahhh.. so relaxing vid man..keep it up

Starting from the first vid 😊🐴🐎

Same... 😂👏

[@MissLady-pq4hc]

Great video.

[@AwesomeStudios10]

Hey sorry this a new comment but wanted to tell you that I know almost nothing about horses but I wanna learn more about them I have some chickens though, but your videos help me learn about what I didn’t know.

[@mariroberson-soranch1476]

Now that I learned that thrush can be evident without black goo or smell now I'm noticing frogs and this horse is free of thrush and has a super healthy frog looks like. Question: to you bring in the heel branches on the medial sides to prevent them pulling a shoe or does it depend. For instance if a horse has a sheered heel on the medial side would you tight fit on the medial or give it a little expansion room?

[@maverick_vet]

yes is the short answer to your question

[@erikatowle8695]

Do you use the same nail holes when putting on the shoes? If so how would that hold the shoe firmly, especially for reining? Thanks!

[@genevieveplante2855]

Pretty Nice video, thankyou. I would like to know the mesurments of your hoof stand? It looks cool and i would like to build me one like this

[@maverick_vet]

I'll put it in one of my future videos

[@ericka8058]

What is a rein horse? Does it do something really specific so that it needs these kinds of shoes?

[@bradprice3924]

What about hoof angle? Level? Rocker toe ?

[@cruzindo]

As someone who will probably never touch a horse shoe i have a question. How many times can you refit a shoe on a horse?

[@erica031012]

Depends on wear of the shoe. Some horses need shoes for medical (hoof problems) and are on grass can use the same shoe at least twice (6 to 8 weeks between trims) or you can get a buggy horse that works on hard surfaces every day and has a hard time making it to 6 weeks.

[@jimhunt5259]

Try a flapper disk on angle grinder. faster smoother finish :)

[@kachanosarmiento1396]

[@beglitchery]

I made myself watch the whole video and read all the comments before asking - what is a reining horse and why do they need sliding shoes? I’m imagining figure skating horses 😹

[@julesthecat9404]

Reining is a particular horse sport. I’m not sure why the slider shoes either, since I’m not really familiar with reining.

[@questfire3028]

@@julesthecat9404 one of the showiest stunts for reining horses seems to be galloping fast as they can, then suddenly stopping. They have their weight on their back legs and slide to a stop. YT has videos if you want to see. I presume there’s less risk of injury if the shoes keep the sliding smooth, by being smooth and balancing the weight properly

[@tictactoe325]

Out of curiosity, what type of shoes are used in the front. Same as in the hind?

[@maverick_vet]

No. Just a rimmed shoe

Why does the frog look so different?

[@maverick_vet]

Grows from different tissue

[@faithdefender5186]

How often does a horse needing shoeing?

[@erica031012]

Generally between 6 to 8 feet. Most horses don't NEED to be shod. Depending what they are used for.

[@tammybaker8577]

It's weird this horse doesn't have much of a frog. I guess all horse's hooves are different.

[@WallabyfromBillings]

How long had it been since he threw that right hind?

[@maverick_vet]

A couple days

[@kirkboswell2575]

Where's your steel plug for the pipe stand? That open pipe end looks like it could cause a bruise or etc somewhat easily. But I did enjoy watching your work. My dad always twisted the nail ends but I've seen many others use nippers just like you did. Preference? Or habit? Or "because my teacher did it that way?" 👍

I’m new so I don’t know but are those your horses?

[@flashharry6509]

What’s a slider ? And why is he putting the same shoes back on 🤷‍♂️

[@skipbaeless4989]

Why do some horses get horseshoes and others don’t

[@sophiejohnston2338]

Skip Baeless purpose of a horseshoe is to often protect the hoof wall, some disciplines require them for the horses safety. As an example if your horse has a harder landing the shoe prevents cracks. There is different types of shoes to fit your horses discipline.

[@sydthakyd98]

If a horse is getting a lot of exercise they require them to not wear down their natural hoof too much or cause damage to them. Pet horses that aren’t ridden are less likely to have them. Where horses used for showing and riding get lots of exercise are more likely to have them

[@ashlieghsmithson8232]

Well some people prefer horse shoes which I don’t. Other horses might need them for medical issues. Or if they do a certain type of riding then they might need them. Hope this helps even though I’m late.

[@iridiumSerpent]

Sometimes it’s personal preference, other times it’s a health reason

[@anthonyevans7756]

I was sure you were right handed in the last video i saw!???

[@maverick_vet]

I am. Video might have got turned around

[@misa9917]

Why is the horse so quiet as if he were enjoying it?

[@FatherOfTheSeas]

Its like a pedicure, Ranch horses will develop lots of problems if they dont get their hooves well treated, Because the dont run in hard terrain as much as they do in the wild, And they dont feel any pain, its like a big toenail.

[@mothball5425]

Also they can tell when someone knows what they are doing and so they feel secure and trust the farrier. Plus they have a good memory so i think they remember it felt better after the last time.

[@NinjinFairy]

Huh, horses go skiing too?

[@Dean5073]

He reused the old shoe never seen that before

[@begininigflyfishing2430]

That horse wont slide. You should have put e head nails so the nail head is flush with the shoe. It defeats the point if the heads stick out. Causing the horse not to slide. The nail heads act as traction device's

[@maverick_vet]

These sliders are not punched for an E head nail, so for these shoes E head nails would stick out way further that just a normal city head nail. But for sliders I use a race nail (which has a very small head) so when nailed into these sliding plates they are very low profile. I agree, I could probably grind off the little bit that does stick up, but I don't see it necessary and it doesn't affect their slide. Good discussion, thanks for the comment.

[@begininigflyfishing2430]

I see. Great video. Keep up the good work.

[@jesseandjustinshotsaucerev3415]

Shoeing outside in the winter can be a bitch.

Frog looks a little wide. I would have trimmed it up along the sides in the collateral grooves so the excess doesn't push heels and bars out too wide
