Thank you for not slamming the horses foot down on the ground. I absolutely hate it when a farrier just drops the foot and it slams in the ground. The horses hate it too. Makes them hard to shoe. They trust you to handle the feet, and when they are rough, the horses learn not to trust and not to cooperate.

[@David.L291]

Oh why would anyone slam the foot, That's just crazy!

[@digitallocations1423]

[@coriettapadilla9977]

That is so messed up. Especially if they are already having discomfort. So much hard work taking care of these horses there shouldn't be careless people but unfortunately they are out there. I think he did really well too.

[@seanhazelwood3311]

If a horse slams its foot down, it's taking the the foot away from you. Either the person is too rough picking the foot up, or the horse isn't trained to hold it's foot up.

[@wonderworld5606]

He said in another video he was trained to do that and respect the horse, because they are trusting the farrier with their feet and you have to reward that trust. Great attitude and excellent workmanship.

This stuff is double satisfying for me as a structural aircraft maintainer as I work a lot with aluminium including a lot of shaping and a wide range of different heat treatment processes. So not only is it satisfying to watch from an empathic side; seeing the horse being respected, loved and taken care of... it's super satisfying to watch you work with the shoes and explain why you do certain things with the metal. I have no idea what grade of aluminium these sort of horseshoes are made from and I'm sure it's different from the 2024 and 7075 I'm used to working with... but cool nonetheless!

Well that was fun to watch. I went to Dawson Creek to learn this skill in 1974. Lasted 18 months. Too tall, too slow and not clued in enough. Loved watching you using your hands to do things like flipping the file around end for end, feeling the tip of the nail exit the foot to gauge where it was located, etc. Subtle stuff. Worn through chaps with the gouges on the inside of the legs. Back brace ! Got racked Real Well by a couple of foundered donkeys the first time and a Shetland pony put me out of business the second and last time. Who knew you needed back muscles to lift your legs up onto the clutch and brake peddles to get off the claim and limp back home to lick your wounds. Not 1975 in this vid. Horse brought to your shop, not visa versa. Bone handled trimming knife with a brass pommel - Woot. Grinder, Drill press, stall with tie points. Well and truly laid out. I had a pair of GE nippers that cost $200 bucks I think. Some Black Diamond tools as well. Still using the pull-offs 47 years later. Mustad made the nails and shoes. We made the pritchels and clinch blocks when we were learning how to use the forge. The welding shop trade school students made my coal fired forge with a hand cranked blower. The shoeing stand was made from a disk harrow disk and a length of pipe and my anvil was cut from a piece of H beam. Fit it all in my VW microbus with an Old Horse Shoer Blacksmithing Coal burlap sack tied to the front for advertising. Not anything like your shop. 12 weeks of trade school later and there I was. A farrier set loose on the unsuspecting public. Ha. They saw me coming from a mile away. Every owner of a misbehaving, cracked hoofed horse in my area looked me up. One penny pinching horse woman negotiate 25% off of the $8 I charged for being allowed to trim the feet of her 6 horses. Never told me I had to catch them first. Boy, I was dumb. I've been watching those guys trim cows feet. I can not believe how much material they take off with those grinders. Speaking of grinders, that was a pretty spooky fix you did there. We were shown how to put long nails from side to side to lace it up. Never had to do that 'personally. Trimming the 'Dutch boots' off the aforementioned donkey with a hack saw was spooky too. Anyways, nice set up, very skilled hands and a great horse. Glad I watched your video.
