30 YEAR OLD Appaloosa Horse Gets Custom Shoe!

#appaloosa #oddlysatisfying #horse #transformation #savinganimal

[@Clintstagram]

Man that horse is beautiful. And I know the video is about the horse but there's something about watching a shoe be handmade from a straight piece of metal. Awesome work.💪

[@Susan-oe1ht]

I love this channel.😊😊

[@Kim-lc3fv]

Such craftsmanship. Without any machines, computers, measurements. Pure skill.

[@chandarussell]

That’s quite the old girl there. Thirty years old. She must be well cared for. Growing up we had a Holsteiner who lived to 37 years. He was a lovely old boy.

[@Sheepdog1314]

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.

[@ChicagoMel23]

Aww

[@deannalemburg10]

Gosh hope that horse can get back to halfway normal but in the meantime you probably made him feel 10 years younger Thank you

[@lisarichardson8639]

The inside of a horses foot/ hoof looks like an owl.😊❤

[@jirikurto3859]

@@lisarichardson8639 That is because it is an owl. Did you not know that owls live on horses' feet?

[@NecoJesus]

That's a beautiful boy. He looks so majestic and regal. It's only right he be treated by people as good as you.

[@suewiseley2724]

there is something soothing to me about watching horses being shoed and hoofs trimmed. the horses seem to know your taking good care of them.😊

[@tinaranson6172]

So labor intensive. It sure requires knowledge and practice. What an art!

[@tomcooley3778]

Good job 👍 Lot of skill in this guys hands 🙌

[@LealyhallHall]

Beautiful brought back memories for sure I was only 8 my dad was always putting shoes on his work horses he made mines rember. For coal mines. I’ve enjoyed watching this them tools still the same

[@cat4607]

that appie has that signature "human eye" - unique to that breed - don't see it that often anymore - they've bred it out of them :(

[@evangelcassidy3988]

I do love horses! What you do is beautiful !! The power of transformation and wellbeing of them! Love it! Very engaging! Thank you for sharing knowledge ! Blessings

[@erynd2524]

I’m so amazed at how a piece of metal can be made into a custom horseshoe. You do amazing work!

[@DarylVogel]

Great to watch a Journeyman solving each unique horse hoof problems

[@MD-ef7nl]

Seriously.....you are a master at work. Your workmanship and understanding of the issues helps all the horses you care for immeasurably. Brilliant work.

[@susanowens4528]

A MILLION TIME BETTER FOR THE HORSE YOU REALLY NEVER SEEM TO AMAZE ME ON YOUR CHISES FOR THE WELL OF THE ANIMAL 🥰

[@tinaranson6172]

He’s just hanging out getting a pedicure, he looks relaxed. Love it. Dude! Wake me up when it’s over.

[@suzannemomma]

You must have a natural spiritual connection to these animals. How else can one take a rod of hot metal and a hammer and make these curative, magnificent works of art?

[@amarisfrede2]

These are so satisfying to watch.

[@dcmc7383]

I love that they are still providing such detailed care for an old 30-year old. Not everyone does; many would provide a routine trim (if that) and let the horse go unshod. Great job.

[@raymunchieftain4170]

I could watch this all day long !!!!!!!

I love your videos.

[@mrmartywaring]

I'm amazed at the work you guys do 👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿

[@impunitythebagpuss]

Those feet are so dry! No wonder there's chips missing! Great job making this beauty more comfortable!

[@andreav9811]

Wow this craft is truly an art form. You’re so talented. And I bet that old horse is going to feel like a million bucks 🎉❤

[@koonsickgreen6272]

Hoof dust falling from rasping is so satisfying

[@CarlosCedeno15]

30 years I didn't know horses can live that long

[@Fruity_lexia]

Sure can! My two lived to 30 and 34. With good care it's possible but just like with humans, every horse is different.

[@KateandBree]

Yes, some live well into their 30s. My lesson pony is 29 and is laughing in the face of retirement. He refuses to give up his lifestyle.

[@casdragon_5939]

30 years isn't very old yet, I was still competing with my oldest until 36. He passed at 38. All of my horses have gotten to at least 35.

[@kasmkoval-ub1tn]

Medium life span of horses 25-30 years, not long. With a well care they can live to 35-40 years .

[@territhomas8792]

Fabulous work, love watching and your reasons for how you make the shoe. Doing a full set of shoes takes time and the horses are so patient.

[@suellenspencer-eb2nv]

The horse is so calm. Blessings to you.

[@deborahsherer1710]

She looks as though she loves a good pedicure. He is an artist with that horseshoe.

[@lelandrentz3964]

It is nice to watch a professional

[@flatdaddio]

Incredible how good these guys are.

[@elainek1234]

Love your videos!!! So interesting and informative! And when you make custom shoes… extra treat!

[@idahohorseshoeingschool]

Glad you like them!

[@edwinlockwood514]

I really love watching what you do for all these horses,giving them much needed relief.Not to mention learning.

[@KateandBree]

Appaloosas have a soft spot in my heart. I rode one a sweet Appy pony that was about this age in my late 20s. He was the sweetest (if not a bit manic at times.) Another great heart bar.

[@traceyrossberg4640]

Exceptional channel, absolutely love the work you incredible guys do for these beautiful horses, 30 yrs old, that's awesome, I could watch you making shoes all day long, thank you so much, and take care.👍💙🐎

[@GodsOath_com]

Rocker Toe: putting a spring back in that horse's step. 😊

[@bigstar75]

This man is an artist. I post it every time. He amazes me.

[@bonniefranklin6097]

Best school in America. Well done.

[@madhatter909]

What a beauty, my favorite horse. Thank you.

[@crabtreeshep4969]

Your talent and hard work in getting to the level you have achieved is impressive. You always do fantastic work on each horse. Congrats on rendering a beautiful foot every time from across the country in western NC, little Burnsville!! Love your work out here 👍🐎

[@tinaranson6172]

I love the sound of pounding the hot metal.

[@kingkong7617]

You guys do a lot of really good work for these horses, getting them back to moving around better with less pain.

[@suepittel426]

I love to watch you work.

[@purelightlove8888]

A true custom Work of ART!

[@malirabbit6228]

Impressive young man! And the horse! Live long and prosper!

[@CatsSleepyHollow]

Can watch this all day.

[@jerry-Shor]

excellent job. A happy horse with a new fashion shoes :)

[@The6568]

I would have loved to see the four hooves. Thank you !

[@carlhall1880]

Awesome work that is skill right there!!

[@joebator9858]

Now you know where the old saying Strike while the Iron is hot. Think is a work of art

[@gavottchengavottchen9246]

thank you, absolute perfekte Schmiedearbeit - ❤ from Germany

[@franksullivan1964]

Nice work you are a professional no doubt thanks for being kind to the horse some farriers are real rough💫👍🏾👍🏾💪🏾💪🏾

[@user-ox7jf4oc8r]

Beautiful job trimming his hoof, cleaning it up and the custom shoe is perfect!! He must feel so much better. It will be wonderful when you’ve fixed the other three. . He won’t know how to act!! Thanks for fixing him up so well. ❤❤

[@BlackieLadida]

These old horses deserve the best treatment in the world! And I got the urge to slather that hoof in some good hoofoil after. Beautiful result, and I'm sure that horse feel a lot more comfy. 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!

[@ljohnson8143]

First time viewer here. I am awestruck!! This was fascinating to watch. What a true and beautiful skill; hard work, artistry and functionality. I had no idea. Can't wait to check out your channel. Thank you !!

[@riverannie7]

What skill sets ! And a fine understanding of problem solving for the unique hoof. And , you are fun to watch !

[@mattiejohnson-ld9iq]

Oh wow that's how that's done, thanks for sharing

[@travishendrix7026]

Very nice work. You boys get it done.

[@rhondab9792]

Wonderful the difference you make in these beautiful animals' lives.

[@kennethjackson7574]

It was “Custom Shoe” that caught my attention. There was a farrier about a quarter mile from my boyhood home who did corrective and hot shoeing.

[@joykiser6673]

Gorgeous horse. You fellas are amazing. If I lived in the area and had horses your place would be the only ones allowed to touch my horses feet. ❤❤❤

[@iliketocomment8144]

That horse sure did look like it was enjoying its pedicure. Well behaved! 😆

[@danasixty5402]

Outstanding work .😊

[@jenniferlehman326]

Thank you!! You finally explained what you were doing and why!! I appreciated that so much!! You just didn't just shoe a horse. You gave a reason WHY you were shoeing it the way you did. It wasn't a SILENT VIDEO!! YAY!! Thank you so much again. From a Retired Paramedic and Horse Trainer in Ontario, Canada, Jenn. 💖 🇨🇦🇺🇲

[@lindahollister5530]

Thank you for another video❤❤❤❤.

[@ritastevenson5532]

Great workmanship you truly do know your art and foot x hoof health, the horses know a feel your confident terrier skills ,,the white horse had some sore hooves but you repaired it, and with concrete plan of terrier intervention,l wWELL DONE,,😊😊

[@garden2356]

Beautiful craftsmanship

[@superstarcat7654]

Those heart bar shoes can work wonders helping the old horse out. Beautiful work.

[@Grandmama-Rainey]

That was amazing ! Thanks .

[@snailie]

The work you do never ceases to amaze me. Beautiful craftsmanship all around!

[@kelseywestergaard9176]

You are incredibly talented

[@mathewlmathison2712]

Horse shoeing is a art

[@selahray2008]

looking good for 30!

[@Silvio.S.Arruda0042]

Congratulations on your excellent work 👏👏👏

[@m0410338]

놀랍네요.. 말굽 관리 하시는 분들은 말굽만 관리 하시는게 아니다 편자 까지 그 말에 맞게 만드는 것을 보고 정말 놀랍습니다. 말에 대해서 완전히 파악하신 분들이네요.

[@whymee123]

I find it interesting how different in function cow and horse hooves are Where cow hooves need a recess in the middle for traction and horses are just flat. With shoes to mock that recess

[@iansamuelson3666]

You are an artist.

[@btcrazee1]

What a beautiful horse. It is really a work of art to make the shoes. My hands would be burned to bloody stumps as I would certainly grab a hot shoe at some point.

[@legeet3842]

I enjoy your work! You are so good at what you do.

[@judithbishop993]

Wow! I do so appreciate craftmanship at its finest. Great work.

[@edgaraquino2324]

My complements! 🎉To me, being a farrier is an awesome combination of artist & strongman...😊 Artist in that you literally convert something that looks like a hoof into a real one...the same for new shoes....the "strongman" is the sheer physical effort to do both...last but not least, the love of horses & the way you relieve their distress & make them new again...that is why I subbed...May God bless you & all those who do this necessary work....😊

[@miketroutman7365]

Great job and informative oration. Thanks

[@marie-roseburrow1843]

Beautiful shoe 😊

[@mrhearse777]

Miraculous ! Such an eye for shape and form. And that right arm !

[@ninafodale]

Beautiful work.👍

[@halfabee]

A very satisfying job.

[@heatherholt982]

We can really tell you love this horse and what you do. I love watching you when. Thank you

[@nathanadrian7797]

You do incredible work! Years ago we got our horses trimmed up by a Ferrier out of Cranbrook, B.C., his name was Vern, and he was the best Ferrier I ever got to work with. Vern could trim up or shoe a horse in short order, and his work was always top notch!

[@mhathaway35]

Very cool. Thanks for posting.

[@avrilpeters5900]

Hi I like your videos as your work speaks for itself

[@Dreamworld986]

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.

[@KateandBree]

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.

[@anneterry3660]

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.

[@kennethjackson7574]

Not to mention the female farrier who won in one episode of “Forged in Fire.”

[@cesarcavalo3719]

Trabalho de artificie,Deus lhe retribua com prosperidade 🙏🏼🐎🇧🇷

[@LeeDee5]

I couldn’t even tell you what a farrier was but then I randomly found this channel about a year ago and now it’s so satisfying to watch these videos.

[@Thecorgially]

Amazing job and beautiful red leopard senior Appy.

[@patriciageorge5021]

Outstanding work.

[@williamcap2236]

I'm really amazed by the work you guys do ! I have always liked horses but the experiences i have with the few i have been around was not good almost bitten the first time and partially headbutted the the 2nd so left me scared around them. So i just admire them from afar

[@fieryvale]

I seem to remember hearing that Appaloosas tend to require rocker toes. Never understood why before.

[@Ida-fz3ir]

how do You measure the mm sizes, if the iron is hot? I can't imagine this precise work! stunning!👍

[@mogulmayhem]

I didn't know that ferriers rocked Saucony. I love the endorphin speed for surgery days.

[@harmonysprogress]

Once again a great job!!! I love watching you work!!! Thanks for posting these vids!!! Highly enjoyable!!! Harmony

[@walther9161]

Damn! That’s what you call skill! Awesome stuff that helps to keep the horse healthy. Wow!!!!!
