Hot shoeing a draft horse is a tough job. Watch the whole technique in detail.

[@lucaskeeley3090]

My father was a farrier that was one of the few that could do hot and cold corrective shoeing and is a legend in the horse world in our area. He passed away about 8 months ago and this video brought back so many memories of my childhood and going every weekend with him. He was old school and did every horse holding there feet but for sure that's a amazing table. Great job to the man in the video and my hats off to him keeping the trade alive. This is now one of my fav videos on KZbin and thank you for my trip back to better times with my dad 😀😥

So can the horse feel that heat? I mean, his Hooves were on fire.

[@warriormaiden9829]

@@renayparrack7045 Nope, not really. Hooves are made of the same material as your fingernails (keratin). If you put your nail next to/on something hot (not that I recommend you do so) you feel the heat, but don't get burned. The longer the nail, the less heat you feel. :)

[@thecashier930]

With all the cow trimming videos I've always wondered why farriers don't use things like this.

[@Heavens-Humanaterian-Army]

If you like this set up you should see the fancy one the hoof gp uses for all his cows and massive bulls...its like a horse stock but has electric winch and I'd personally but adding one to a horse stock just for convenience and saves the horse being pulled on multiple times by people..the winch is so strong that there hoof is going right up first time so it teaches them, that there's no getting out of any type of medical procedure.

[@thorn9382]

To all the people disliking : This does not hurt to the horse at all. It can't feel that part of its hooves, they are mostly made out of the same material as finger nails, but stronger. It can't feel any of it. If it could actually feel it it would have freaked out.

[@thorn9382]

@Apeman Commeth I'm sure it can feel the heat but I think it would have a larger reaction to it if it was painful. Even if it is painful and lets say the horse is just trained to deal with the pain I think if it was to much the horse would freak out. Also, about the wild horses. I'm not an expert on horses, but I think that when they are in captivity they don't wear down their hooves as much and so they need trimmed. A wild horse probably wears down it's own hooves.

It would be cruel to not take care of this mare's feet and ask her to work as her hooves grow to unmanageable lengths and split/crack, causing laminitis, separation, and possible hoof cap removal.

how often do you have to do this? and how much is the cost? looks like only a pro should even try it.

[@steamboatwillie8517]

If it's a ' standard sized horse, I believe, about £18 or £20 a corner here in the uk. Every 6 weeks if lots of road work, not much longer if all soft, as it grows the same rate as your finger nails. The fixing nails are made from lead. They do a burn fit to make sure it's well versed in and not too likely to come loose. The gouging etc doesn't hurt the horse at all: just like cutting your own nails. The toecap clips on the shoes make sure the shoes don't come loose with general use. The rear hooves are slimmer so the horse can dig in better, so those shoes have two toecap clips, not one ( as in the front and broader hoof). They also usually keep a foal close by when mum goes for shoes, so they get the idea and smells etc. A farrier with a ' good eye' can also put extra weight on one side of the shoe or other, so if a horse walks with a cast out to one side ( and so keeps clipping his ankle with his own shoe if it inwards) to make the hoof throw straight when walking. I've seen them make a shoe with a temporary plate across to guard a hoof whilst its healing/ growing out. I lived on a farm, with heavy plough horses when I was a kid ; I used to stand there weeping when they burned the shoe to fit, no matter how much my mum reassured me they didn't feel it. Ours were 2 Belgians and a Suffolk punch, called Prince. He did the milk round cart every day for years. He didn't need instructions, he knew every stop and start by heart. Even in those pea soup fog we got in the late 50's/ early sixties. In the winter when it was freezing, at the last stop, you could say " walk on prince" jump off the cart, and dash across the field to get to the kitchen for a hot drink. Prince would have to do the long driveway to get back, on his own, and we'd be warmed up by the time he got there. Hot tea, bacon on toast for us, and warm water and bran and carrots for him.Happy days: my 'Saturday job' was a single barrel, bolt action .410 shotgun, a pocket full of cartridges, and off round the barns and yards, looking for rats until lunchtime. I was 11. I very much doubt H& S would let that go these days :0)

Some of the farriers do the shoeing this way and some do not , this way is easier on the horse and farrier. the nails in the hoof do not hurt the horse at all if they are driven right and not into the sensitive tissue . The horse has to be started in the shoeing stanchion at a early age so he or she knows that it will not hurt them and they will not struggle with it. I appreciate this video and have seen this done at the shoeing schools here in Washington .

[@cheyennemontuori1618]

[@barrysimmons4724]

Back in the day our farrier hot shod one of ours resulting from a navickular (sp) problem. He later ended up doing special pads and corrective shoeing. It worked. Donnie the Cornell Farrier grad, was quite the magician with that horse. No stanchion while he worked. We'd hold them all when he worked. Shoeing or just trimming. But he was all business till he'd finish up. Didn't see this fella clinch his nails... or did I miss it? Nice shape and feet looked good. Good job. Thanks for sharing.

I can imagine how one can derive a lot of satisfaction from doing a job like this. Just puzzled and amazed that the farrier is occasionally touching the red hot shoes with his bare hands. This was one of my dream alternative professions. The hutch sure makes the job easier. Else bending over in the 'deadly farrier's hold' has damaged many a good back.

@A B d'accord. Merci monsieur. And your casual assumption that I'd understand your French is interesting.

[@lindascott2107]

I have never seen anything like this before. I must say I was amazed, truly impressed 👏

[@sharlawilliamson9609]

Aw what a sweetheart! Just standing there for his mani- pedi

[@samsu2000]

I've never seen before the job like this. Awesome

[@truescotsman4103]

I'm amazed at how well behaved that horse is!

[@jakezgab8576]

Very Hard work, very professional. Good job.

[@noelslater458]

That was awesome! Incredible skill to have. Nothing like a good farrier!

There's something special about watching a great tradesman at work like this.

This isolation really has me watching a whole video of horseshoeing at 3 in the morning, and I’ve never thought about or plan to own and take care of a horse.

As a full timer, this makes me a little jealous at how little his back hurt afterwards thanks to his genius of a stock. I feel he could have shaped a little tighter, but still good.

Heavy horses need big wide feet to support their bulk. Also these horses work in mud and forest, so they need stable, solid feet. Agree, great stock.
