Horseshoeing Ruby Again

Shoeing Ruby once more. The last video I took of her went almost viral with at present 7.7 million views!
The original video • Horseshoeing Ruby
Filmed with GoPro Hero5 black Camcorder amzn.to/2OrEuTs
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, if they get sick they recover or die, it’s nature.
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. #GaryHuston #Blacksmithing #Farrier #ASMR #Horseshoeing #Fabrication #Ironwork #Hoofcare #welder #repairs #horse #farriery #engineering

Gary Ruby is a fine horse but I think the 3.4 million views might just because of you. You have fans and your good at your job.

[@richardpowell1772]

This is ASMR relaxing to watch!

[@AmandaGardMakeup]

Congrats on the 3 mil views! I just found your channel, LITERALLY last week, and these videos are insanely calming/ soothing. Plus you are a master of your craft and clearly show love and respect to all of the animals. It's like a nice timeout or vacation from tte business of life😄 Keep up the good work good sir!

[@garyhuston]

Amanda Gard Makeup thanks, it’s now over 5.5 million!

[@AlexRidgewayFarrier]

Good work Gary! The simplicity of your videos and the popularity they have is fantastic. Hopefully KZbin sorts out those algorithms soon! Take care, Alex

[@jocelynmaylaa4611]

I never thought in my spare time I will enjoy watching hooves from a horse getting cleaned, can’t help how relaxing it is to watch..great video :)

[@swdweeb]

I'll give my perspective on the views. But first, are the frogs on this horse huge? They seem much bigger than ours. The work, for those of us that sit behind a desk, is almost hypnotic. In a way, its soothing. You clearly know what you're doing and watching someone that does is pleasing. Now if you were to watch me try to do this it would be a whole different story. The wife tells me that she's impressed that you fold the nail back before pulling the shoe. She has to get on our farrier's apprentice to get him to do it and not tear up the hoof by pulling them through still bent. Here's to another 3.4M views :-D

[@garyhuston]

swdweeb her frogs are quite big, nice and healthy, shows they are working well! Your wife is quite right to question that practice, it’s becoming popular with the younger farriers and not to be encouraged! When I was an apprentice back in the late 70’s it was drummed into us that finishing off ( clenching) was one of the most important parts of the shoeing process. You could dress a foot perfectly, you could fit the shoe perfectly, you could nail it on perfectly but if your finishing off was no good nothing would keep the shoe on! In my opinion if you can get the shoe off without raising the clenches then your finishing off is no good! If either of you decide to mention this to your Farrier make sure you watch out for flying hammers😂

[@wyattkindler496]

My back hurts just watching this 😂👍

Wyatt Kindler - I was thinking the exact same thing.

My farrier tends to ignore the fact that our horses frogs are very overgrown and never clips them. It is so annoying some times

[@luissm97]

What is the purpose and difference between cold and hot shoeing?

[@bbgirl.8397]

keep up the good work because i stride to be like you :) ;-;

[@jackdawg4579]

Are those nails copper coated? Never seen those before, will have to see if I can track some down. I am experimenting with some stainless ones at the moment (for blacksmithing key holders, not shoeing horses !)

[@garyhuston]

Yes, antibacterial, they work well!

[@JNacoustic]

Hey Gary, are you using liberty copper coated nails? I found that when we came out of winter and flies came about that they started sheering on the real active horses. Clips helped but I've been getting a lot of sheared nails. Went back to capewells and it's solved the issue for me.

[@garyhuston]

i've never had a problem with sheering from any nail makes but then we always use clips.

[@JNacoustic]

Gary Huston the only other time I've had the issue was with Delta nails about 15 years ago. They admitted to having a bad batch. I'm wondering if it was an odd batch. It was only the copper coated liberty lx50's that did it. Lots of popped clinches as well.

[@KILLRAIN42]

So what are the advantages/disadvantages of doing a hot shoe versus cold? Initially I just figured it was to get a better fit since you can actively adjust the shoe a little easier, but I feel like there's more to it. Also, this is the hot method right, or am I mistaken on that?

[@DembaiVT]

KILLRAIN42 this is the hot method. It is only better as the burn makes a little dent in the hoof so the fit is closer. But the hot method is not good for some horses (I don't know the rules about this but Ferriers know). A cold shoe can still be worked a bit it just takes more effort and requires the Ferrier to know their horse well so that the shoe can be shaped and cooled completely before putting it on.

[@ValCronin]

I love your videos so much!

[@breceis]

this video is so satisfying

[@jcadams8232]

I would like to see Mr. Huston's expertise applied to shoeing a donkey. Their feet are different from horses, as Mr. Huston knows, and so the techniques that Mr. Huston so expertly applies to horses might vary in small but important ways on donkeys.

[@motothedriver9314]

so satisfying

[@Ryuunohanami]

What happens with all the copper nail tips? Do you recover and recycle them?

[@garyhuston]

No, they all just get binned!

[@ljcarey011]

What makes you choose hot shoeing over cold shoeing, or vice versa?

[@garyhuston]

I will always choose hot if I can as it’s so much easier, I will shoe cold if the horse doesn’t like hot shoeing or there is a fire risk.

What is the Machine that you put the horse shoes in dose it melt it

It's a propane powered forge which heats them up

[@webechillin2348]

Awesome video! Thanks for sharing! Why did you pull that nail a couple of times?

[@garyhuston]

Webe Chillin because it wasn’t in a good place.

[@webechillin2348]

Gary Huston Exit to high?

[@garyhuston]

Too high or too low or in soft hoof are the usual reasons.

[@webechillin2348]

Gary Huston thanks! How do you feel about two week farrier courses?

[@garyhuston]

Rubbish! Took me four years!

[@mokanger97]

Do you buy ready made horseshoes then fit them specifically, or do you make your own from scratch?

[@garyhuston]

Mostly machine made shoes theses days but still hand make a few.

[@larrybrown6068]

My husband uses mostly ready made shoes but he puts every one through the fire, makes them to the shape of the old shoes, opens up the nail holes and finishes the heels. Do you do that too Gary, or is my hubby unique?

[@garyhuston]

No, that’s exactly what I do..

[@alexaalmond8226]

Why do you rasp between the hoof and the shoe? I’ve always wondered what that did.

[@garyhuston]

not sure where you mean, please explain more or give me a time stamp.

[@alexaalmond8226]

@@garyhuston you use the edge of the rasp where the hoof and the shoe meet. What does that do?

[@garyhuston]

It takes the burr off the foot from rasping downward

[@alexaalmond8226]

@@garyhuston oh! Okay. Thank you!

[@RachelLxm]

What is the purpose for burning the bottom of the hood with the horseshoe? (Sorry I don't have horses so I wouldn't know the reason why) it is to mark the place where the horseshoe is going to go??

[@m0ri461]

It's usually to form a bit of a groove in the exact shape of the shoe, so that it fits better and more comfortably for the horse and also stays on better.

[@guyapeterson]

I hope you like horses :) Do you give them an apple or some kind of treat as positive reinforcement when you're done?

[@garyhuston]

Guy Peterson no, and no!

[@dracenmarx]

Gary Huston Now I'm confused

[@garyhuston]

Why

[@guyapeterson]

Gary Huston, so the shooing is a part of your work, and the horses come with the territory? Dare I suggest that the most rewarding parts of your work is more like the latern/lamp work you did a video on?

[@garyhuston]

it's all just a job, something we have to do to earn a living, it has good bits and bad bits.

[@dyingsun23]

How's the hand holding up in the cold weather?

[@garyhuston]

Pretty good thanks.

[@guyapeterson]

I'm glad I looked through the comments, I was just about to ask how the hand was doing. Glad to hear that the surgery was a success. Keep up the good work!

[@nathanchurch8934]

[@heelf5277]

When its burning, It smells like burning hair or something like that??

Just like burning hair because that is essentially what it is, keratin.

[@tgrady2570]

Gary Huston why was this demonetized?

[@lacyc3426]

I feel bad for my farrier lol because my horse is sensitive with his feet due to racing and an accident

[@vivienqueendragon58]

Before you tell me, I KNOW IT DOESN'T HURT THE HORSE, but why is he cutting into the outside of her hoof at the beginning?

[@larrybrown6068]

To hold the shoe on the foot the nails are driven in and turned over, he will have to remove this turned over piece (clench) before taking off the old shoe.

[@sg.slimeyy9177]

Does the nail you put in hurt thr horses hoove??

[@stacyyang7731]

No, it is not suppose to hurt. As long as the nail doesn’t go too deep, which is unlikely, nailing the shoes into the hooves shouldn’t be a problem.

[@sg.slimeyy9177]

AV Yang oh okay thanks

[@springwolfie2966]

Sg. slimeyy no take your nail for instance it only hurts if you touch the skin under it such as the frog in a horses case otherwise no the hoof is just like your nail only bigger lol

[@macbilling6410]

Gary, When you shoe a horse and nail the shoe on do the hole's left by the nails close up or heal over. Excuse my ignorance not had much to do with horses but find it fascinating to watch you.
