[@mechanicalcowboy3242]

I see several suggestions in the comments of 'use a saw', 'use a grinder', etc., and in this case it's obvious that those were viable options. (watch to the end). However you must keep two things in mind; 1. These are strong animals with a mind of their own. They are usually desensitized to having their hooves nipped and rasped but, mostly likely, not to having a grinder or a saw applied to them. In some cases, it is the equine's reluctance to allow their feet to be dealt with that leads to this sort of condition in the first place. As I stated in an earlier comment, Cow hoof nippers are the best way to start I have ever seen. They allow twice the leverage due to their longer handle length, allow the animal's foot to remain on the ground and allow the farrier remain out from under the animal. 2. Grinders, and some saws you might be tempted to use, would need access to power. Often this means stretching a cord from some outlet to the the works space. Believe it or not, the movement of dealing with that cord can set off an animal. At that point you have a strong excited dancing animal, a whirling or reciprocating blade, at least two laceration-prone animals and a cord. Which is now trying to constrain all to encourage one to meet the other. In this video he resorted to a hand saw for the back feet. While this is a better option, and in this case, the animal dealt with it fine. You cannot expect that the animal will always accept new (to them) sights, sounds or sensations. Grinders, in particular, offer the animal all three. Just remember, you're trying to help this animal. You want to accomplish this in as safe and least stressful manner as possible. Mostly for them, but also for your farrier and yourself.

[@missalii4792]

And the vibration and sound can really freak them out. We don't put them in a crush, so there's nothing holding up their leg like with cows.

[@waynehoffman456]

Thank you! I’m new to this sort of work and kept thinking Sawzall. Your comment made me think if I had that damn thing vibrating my feet I’d not be too happy about it. Thank you for the way you explained that.

[@debshaw680]

There’s a new thing you may not have heard of. It’s called a battery. I used to work with a farrier. You put the animal in cross ties and have someone hold up the opposite leg. It came up in pain and lame from the force and twisting. If its afraid of the sound, you get it mildly sedated. He could have blindly cut into flesh this way. With hood that hard, its easy to split the hoof into the Corona using that much force. He admitted inexperience. Should have at least tried to contact someone with experience.

[@el34glo59]

@@debshaw680 Agreed. And honestly even later on he waa digging too deep. I could see red lines everywhere showing up under the hoof

[@i.am.therabbitman8684]

@@orundestiunpre2944 nope! The way these hooves grew put a lot of stress on his heels and caused A LOT of tork on his toes when he stepped. in a well trimmed foot, a horse should be landing with its hoof flat against the ground- not toe nor heel first. However, judging by the weight on this donkeys toes, its a pretty easy deduction that hes probably landing toe first. This leads to pain when he walks, and just when he stands in general. this is also why you see spots of "old" blood or bruising in the video- from the stress put on the laminae and hoof wall from such overgrown hooves! (not to mention the stress on joints, as well.)

[@masonkemper1793]

Yes, it’s very nerve wracking! If you own horses/donkeys/mules you always gotta make sure the person working on their hooves knows what they’re doing. Very basic cleaning care should be done by the owner fairly often, and you always want to make sure you have a professional come work on them on a regular sort of schedule based on the animal’s need. It’s scary because you don’t want to cut too deep, but someone has to do it!

Cut his nails at an 46 degree angle and with a light that's what I do with my dog The back when I bought the clippers it said cut in thin slices at a 45 angle

[@jackson4860]

@@ak47chan20 it's actually better to cut them often. You're more likely to hurt your dog if their nails grow out too long because then the quick (the sensitive part with blood supply) grows out very long. If you trim often and as needed, the quick will stay shorter and you have less of a chance of hurting them. And not cutting nails can cause the dog issues while walking

If you end up getting another case like this, try using a saw blade such as you would use on PVC piping, i used one on a goat with massively overgrown hooves, because my trimmers would not cut through the hardened excess, but the pvc saw blade worked better than the metal hack saw blade.

[@MrJasonshores364]

It's crazy to me, I've always known horses had shoes put on and that people did something to their hooves not I've never seen it. My grandparents had horses for us as kids but there was someone that took care of that kinda stuff, the only thing I ever did was bath my girl and brush her and that was with my step grandfather. Sad that here I am 43 years old and learning what happens to their poor feet of they're neglected. It breaks my heart and leaves me sad. Poor babies. He's so cute.

[@sheririce343]

Horse owner here. Just thought I’d add that not all horses need shoes. I have a half-Arab mare who is “barefoot.” Our farrier comes every 5 or six weeks and gives her hooves a trim. They grow like our toenails so can be filed. Mine uses that device he’s got in the video to trim all around the edge and then a perfect horseshoe piece comes off. Shoes are typically used for horses only when needed because 1)costs more to shoe than barefoot trim 2)a horse can easily pull and lose a shoe, or injure itself with it 3)you’re putting holes in the hoof and hence run the risk of introducing bacteria. At our barn we generally only shoe the front because our horses are turned out together in groups and hind shoes can cause fatal damage should a horse kick (horses shod in the hind generally would be turned out alone). But shoes can also do wonders for a horse with issues like thin sole or to correct other problems. One of my friends has a horse that has wedges in its shoes to correct the angle of the hooves. He went from dead lame to perfect. Farrier work is actually incredible when done correctly, so very important, and physically hard! There’s an old saying “no feet no horse.: And it’s so gratifying to see what a difference it can make for the rescues.
