Belgian Draft Horses: farrier is a profession for strong men

[@210419590457]

Très bonne vidéo, le maréchal ferrant fait vraiment du très bon travail. Cet éleveur qui travail avec ses chevaux, pour moi , est un vrai passionné et ses chevaux sont bien entretenus. C'est à chaque fois un réel plaisir de regarder ces vidéos.

[@relocatetoEUROPE]

The sheer power of the beast, it's a miracle that Man has managed to tame them and that Farriers do this essential and exhausting work with such skill and patience both on the part of the horse and the farrier

[@mlbs4803]

Thanks for this. I liked how much detail of the whole process that you showed. The horse is surprisingly patient.

[@wrongfullyaccused7139]

When I had horses they did not need to be shod since they were mostly pets and were not used for hard work. So I regularly just trimmed their hooves. One horse liked it so much he would actually lay down and place his hoof in my lap. Our donkey would fall asleep when I did his hooves, so I had to lean him against a wall. Funniest part was waking him up to turn him around and do the other side. He would promptly fall asleep again! His only flaw was that he hated goats.

[@marcianohernandez3556]

Put shoes to your horse is a legacy of horsemanship.

Ik heb 8 jaar met een hoefstal paard beslagen. Ik snap niet dat het vastzetten van de benen zoveel moeite kost. Dat deed ik bij lichte en zware paarden alleen. Een hoef moet ook niet vlak gebrand maar vlak gekapt worden. Het branden dient alleen maar om te kijken of de gaten van het hoefijzer op de plaatjesrand uitkomen. Als je hard brand verdamt het nodige vocht om de hoef soepel te houden. Succes verder. Jos De Graaf. Docent Kunst- en Siersmeden.

[@klauskarbaumer6302]

One can save oneself much of the strain and also make it easier for the horse when one properly trains the horses to give their feet. Then brute strength is replaced by the willingness of the horse to cooperate. My horses ( 1050 and 1100 kg) are being shod without a shoeing stock, just cradles to place their feet in and they are relaxed. That being said, this farrier is good.

[@MellowWind]

THIS.

[@MaritsView]

Yup, training them to pick up their hooves helps. I've cleaned hooves from shetland's to big draft horses of 19hh, all you need to do is properly train them or just lean into them a little bit. This method in the video actually makes it harder and it doesn't help that horses are claustrophobic either.

[@TightwadTodd]

@@MaritsView You have apparently never SHOD draft horses have you??? Even when they stand well,they are extremely heavy and the work involved requires time,under that weight..I have done it with and without a stock and doing it without,will break you down,in half the time..

[@MaritsView]

@@TightwadTodd I never said l shod them. I said l've cleaned their hooves countless of times. I know very well how heavy they are but there are other ways to do this.

[@TightwadTodd]

@@MaritsView Exactly!!!...Why does someone who has never done it,think they know more about it than someone who makes a living doing it and probably for longer than they have been alive..Did you see these horses struggling in any way?..Did they look Stressed to you..Did you actually consider,that they are accustomed to a Stock and may actually like the stability of it...Gotta love the keyboard commando horse whisperers..

When you take the horses shoe and heat it up very hot like that, are you actually fitting the shoe by virtue of melting the heal into a good fit so it doesn't hurt his feet over time?🧡🧡🧡🧡

What is the purpose off placing the hot shoe to the hoof? I know its not hurting the horse just curious

[@CaitGoin]

guess im jst a bit in shocked yet still intrigued to learn something new...being around horses all my life, this type of horse in a stand farrier is different. I'm used to the blacksmith who picks up the horses hoof and holds it between the legs and does the work. have they ever tried without the stand?

[@Linda-hs1lk]

Most farriers do this to protect their backs.

[@matttaimuty5397]

It might be a bit easier if someone taught the horse to pick up his own feet. I've shod a lot of drafts. They all picked up their own feet simply by squeezing the tendons. Then they were taught to rest their feet on a hoof cradle so no stocks were needed.

[@raphmaster23]

They spending so much energy picking up those feet

[@matttaimuty5397]

I know their feet are heavy. I've shod many draft horses. I'm talking about teaching them to lift their feet up themselves so you can strap them to the stocks rather tha needing three people to pull the foot up.

Pour soulever un pied d'un cheval sans effort, il suffit de le chatouiller avec un tout petit geste derrière la jambe. Cela évite bien des problèmes.

Немножко не так : необходимо за "бороду" за копытом брать и слегка похлопывая просить отдать , при этом она понимает ,что будет и занимает удобное положение для неё на трёх ногах , ведёт себя спокойнее и дольше стоит неутомляясь за счёт более устойчивого положения .

[@ragarucatherine796]

J'ai mis votre réponse au traducteur. En fait, j'ai toujours agi ainsi pour soulever la patte du cheval. En le chatouillant des deux côtés au niveau du boulet, il rétracte son sabot et il le lève. À ce moment-là, il suffit de prendre le pied dans ses mains. Aussi même une femme peut soigner ou vérifier le dessous du sabot d'un cheval. Essayez et vous constaterez que c'est assez simple plutôt que de forcer l'animal et de lui faire mal. Cela évite aussi quil ne se braque et s'énerve.

What are you guys talking about? I have a horse that size, we don't use this handeling anymore in sweden and yes, our farriers survive. Yes it is a big horse, but if you teach it to lift the hoof and whats going on there is really no problem. Sure, its heavy holding the hoof up but a good farrier has training in ergonomik and knows how to stand. Prev owner to my horse did this to her and she has heavy scarring from the ropes, i would never but her trough that again. She is a kind och smart horse, why should i but her in that and use raw force on her if she can be trained to lift her hoof and just calmly stand in the stall while the farrier lifts her hoof with her bare hands? No one gets hurt and my horse trust me and the farrier.
