Thanks for watching! Aluminum absorbs concussion better than steel which is why we choose it. Broken coffin bones need all the protection and support they can get. The mare loved the shoe!

is there a reason you use alloy bar to make the shoe and not just cut it out of a sheet.

I was just thinking, why is he using aluminum, then I looked in the comments 😂
@fuzzydragons7 ай бұрын
Def looks comfortable with that shoe, not sure how she was walking before but she doesn't look a like she has foundered now, looks pretty comfortable moving
@dreamcatcher38617 ай бұрын
What a fantastic job you did. It’s such an amazing art! I love that the owner of the mare is standing by his horse and keeping her as comfortable as possible after finding her foundered. You see so many horses put to sleep after foundering that badly, especially if the coffin bone is badly damaged. She’s a beautiful girl and you did a beautiful job for her. Bless you.

Is the horse in pain from the broken coffin bone?

I think Farriers are probably responsible for saving more horses from slaughter than all of the Veterinarians out there combined. I know in my area, people call the local equine Vet "the Unicorn" because while he is now a Veterinarian, he paid his way through school working as a Farrier and now in his 60s, still handles the more 'complicated' cases personally. Both of his sons are equine Vets now, and they too worked as Farriers to help pay for their schooling. I think that it is that rare combination of practical experience -- the Farrier-- combined with the expanded education as a Veterinarian that makes their practice so popular. That and the sons still go out shoeing horses and doing site Veterinary visits and only forcing people to bring their horses in when there is literally no other choice.

I started watching your channel a couple of weeks ago and the one thing I am surprised at, is that the owners don't appear to own Hoof Picks. My horse gets a quick brush and hoofs picked out before I tack him for a ride. Then on return to the stable I give him a good rubdown/hose which ever is required and then use my trusty hoof pick as often small stones etc can get embedded when out. I might add it is a matter of good manners to give your farrier basically clean hoofs.

Beautiful job! My mare foundered but didn't have a broken coffin bone. She was in alot of pain. In my case the farrier made her comfortable with the foam, some kind of flexible putty & wrapped the whole thing in duct tape. The next day she was protesting because the vet prescribed 9 lbs of hay a day. I think she must have felt better-rearing up & talking. The first thing the farrier did was back up her toe. Farriers can do alot to help horses feel more comfortable.
