LONG HOOVES on ARABIAN STUD Horse Restoration

#hooftrimming #asmr #arabianhorse #oddlysatisfying #satisfying

[@NmdAura]

For those wondering; Domestic horses reside in grass pastures which generally do not have enough rough terrain to wear down hooves. Additionally, they do not have to run as much and stand idle in stalls. Wild Horses on the other hand traverse over rocks, sticks, gravel, grass, etc and run quite often to travel or escape predators.

[@Randomthew]

Thank you I was wondering this exact thing!

[@Void_TheDemon]

Thanks! I was curious about this recently

[@stevenwilson879]

Therefore, the owner of a domestic horse should be paying attention to the hooves as well as the diet, coat and general well being. Nobody said it was easy.

[@ezravogel8273]

you know, its hearing this that makes my guilt all the worse for ignoring a case of neglect years ago when i was just freshly an adult. I was bordering on homeless and the guy I was living with was an older guy who had a couple of horses boarded in his private barn and the owners hadn't been taking care of it and he didn't have the money to get it reshoed or anything and he wasn't a farrier. That horse had hooves easily twice as long as this one and they were curling around in a spiral. I visited it just once and saw how it had to trudge through a foot of thick mud on those hooves and I was so devastated I never went and visited it again. I wanted to call someone so bad, but I was only 19 and had no idea who to even contact and I was afraid I would end up homeless because it would be hard not to know it was me who called and the guy was so poor, a fine could have made him lose his house. It is honestly my biggest regret in life. I had no idea it was a bad enough level of neglect to be unique to someone with your experience. I hope to god that horse got help or passed peacefully because it was in absolutely miserable conditions. I've never talked about this because I'm so ashamed I didn't do anything

[@michaeldrummey2754]

Shod horses in the New England for 23 years and saw a few that were this bad. It was always immensely satisfying to find the proper hoof under all that growth and get the horses standing correct again. Many farriers do not have this mans ability to bring the hoof all the way back and think you have to do it gradually. You do not. These horses were immediately relieved and lucky to finally be in the care of a professional. Bravo.

[@wudall01]

Thank you for the incite from an expert. I was wondering about that and you answered my question.

[@taramiller3236]

I get that it's basically fingernails, but the strain on the tendons had to be immense, that's why I would vote for gradual change, maybe over a week or two, just to be safe. There might be a tendency to run with new abilities, which could easily damage a leg. You could stall them instead, I suppose.

After this cutting, will he require more hoof care in the coming weeks/months than another horse who has been trimmed on a appropriate schedule?

[@taramiller3236]

I know nothing about horses. Hooves can grow? I thought they are like a person's feet. What about wild horses? They don't have anyone to take care of them and they don't end up with long hooves, is this video real? Maybe this is some diseased horse?

[@JeroenJanseStage]

@@henrylee8510 Horse hooves grow like a human's fingernails do. Their anatomy is different from ours though, as their foot has evolved into having this one cloved hoof shape rather than the fingered shape that ours do. Wild horses tend to do much more running than domestic horses do, which wears them down. Humans started shoeing horses with metal horse shoes in order to help protect their hooves if they were ridden a lot or would be used to, for example, frequently draw carts or plow field to make sure their hooves wouldn't grind down too quickly as that would mean that they couldn't be ridden or used to draw or plow until the hooves had recovered, which would take quite a while. You do, however, see cases where would horses also have funky-looking hooves if they've grown more sedentary for whatever reason, though it does happen less. Also, considering that hooves and nails are pretty similar in some sense, you can take a look at humans who have grown their nails to extraordinary lengths. You can see some similarity to the way these hooves looked at the beginning of the video.

[@BadHairdayKimmie]

@@pvppy-boy Since he was so good to stand there with all of the other horses and activity around, he probably hasn't been handled much or at all in several years, and dropping his "boy parts," especially when walking a bit, I would bet money that there was a nice cocktail in him making the procedure easier on everyone. Even with fairly heavy sedation a horse can stand for the farrier pretty easy. Just because he was neglected doesn't mean he is scared. He probably was well trained in an earlier life before he landed with someone who ignored him (and at least one other horse seen in the background later in the video.)

What I found fascinating was how just uncomfortable the horse appeared with his old shoes or rather army boots. After you worked on the first hoove he started to realize that this was a good thing and settle down and even when you were done which was a wonderful looking job by the way he still walked tentatively especially with his hind legs because he was expecting to feel the ungainly shoes that he was used to. It was a rewarding experience to observe that. Thank you so much you have a good day. Best regards, Bob from Virginia USA

They are hooves not shoes ,shoes are metal and nailed to flat trimmed hooves .shoes need removing every 6-9 weeks

@@AsadAli-jc5tg also the fact that farriers wouldn't be ones doing this, their jobs are very physically taxing and this would take hours to get the hooves back to normal, I don't think they would break their backs over a few views.

​@@steven401ytxwe hire Farriers for our mini donkeys, they have to work a lot of animals to make a living. It's a hard job even if the animal cooperates. If it doesn't, it's money hard earned, because it can be a battle of wills. We have a good one that comes out on a regular schedule now and it's well worth it. One of our donkeys had long hooves when we got him, not this long, but it was bending his ankles too much. He's doing great now.

Wild Horses on the other hand traverse over rocks, sticks, gravel, grass, etc and run quite often to travel or escape predators.

[@GrainneDhu]

Great video and great transformation! I know it isn't practical but it would be so satisfying to see the results after about 4 weeks, when he's had a chance for his muscles, tendons and ligaments to re-adjust to a more normal posture and he's had a chance to get used to walking normally, without the risk of stabbing his front feet with those long back feet. Right afterwards, I'm sure he was walking better--and certainly feeling better--but you could still see the abnormal movement pattern imposed by years of neglect.

[@emmawillard1832]

No surprise that he's four legged lame: months of muscle and joint distortion. Should have a good liniment massage and rub down all over and standing wraps to support joints and ease pain. Some Bute wouldn't go amiss either.

[@Eric_The_Cleric]

Keeping in contact with the client/whoever purchases the horse can be one way to see the transformation. Simply asking to send in a video shot on your phone or a camera would be one way to keep tabs. Of course, you would need permission to use it in a video or have it as part of the work contract as I'm sure the video captured here was as well. Businesses do before-and-afters all the time as a way to advertise their skill and ability, it's not entirely impractical. I was thinking the same thing myself as I watched the horse jaunt around a bit right at the end of the video.
