beautiful red leopard. Awesome work. I grew up in a small town in Germany, and my pony had her shoes hot-fitted every time. It was a thing back then. I walked her through two villages, and the blacksmith/farrier's shop was downtown on a cobblestone road. Miss those days. None of this is left, I was told.

I could tell they really appreciated the care! As someone whos had horses in their 30s and late 20s I know all to well how the hooves change with age, and how important hoof care is for their overall health and wellness. No hooves no horse. Amazing job as alway! Thank you for sharing!

Could this horse have just been trimmed? At 30 I would hope it isn't being ridden anymore and gets to spend its last years in a nice pasture. BTW its awesome how you beat the crap out of a piece of metal and turn it into a shoe that fits the horse perfectly. Thanks for sharing.
@KateandBree10 ай бұрын
There are horses that when they reach senior age (18) will willingly retire and go to pasture. Some will want to work into their 20s before they say, "I wish to retire to the pastures and eat grass all day now." And then there are the Abbys and Gooses in the world - who were 32 when I rehabbed her and are 29 (his current age); they simply hear the word "retirement" and throw tantrums. They're happiest and feel most fulfilled having some sort of job, even if it's just a lesson or two. Abby eventually did retire; Goose is semi-retired. He plays more than he works (not that he knows this.) Every single horse is different and it's not wrong for them to work at 30. It's only wrong if the horse clearly shows he HATES working.

I have not been around horses for 30 years and I find these videos fascinating. Even back in the day I had no idea of the almost unlimited types of problems farriers have to manage. Hard to believe what many horses suffer especially given the unrelieved weight on their hooves. As I have said, surgeon, engineer, artist all part of being a farrier's vocation.
