To be able to attend vet school, be a farrier, and take care of your family and kids whilst making KZbin videos is really amazing, and I want to say your hard work and effort does not go unnoticed. It is motivating and inspiring. Thank you for your videos, and all that you do.

[@Ravenesque]

1:59 horse heard ya and stuck his head down to show us himself himself!

[@hollyhandel5937]

You don’t need to apologize for prioritizing school! It’s good to see you posting again!

[@kellykuros1683]

I always love seeing dogs in shoeing videos. Just hanging out in the side of the frame like, "Ooh, froggy snacks for me?"

[@Sharkman1963]

Loved how the two "Inspectors" kept reviewing your work.

[@akantiia]

What an adorable inspector!

[@katelynwhitmer]

Love these, esspecially with how little you post, its like a little present seeing that notification. ❤ Keep doing what you're doing!

[@Vousie]

Exactly. And having notification on means I'm not reliant on whether KZbin's algorithm decides he posts frequently enough or not - I see them anyway 😁 AKA, I don't mind when people post infrequently - better to have infrequent but *good* videos like this than frequent "filler" ones like some of the more commercial channels do.

[@katelynwhitmer]

@@Vousie my thoughts exactly

[@DonnaMSchmid]

You don't have to apologize for taking some extra time to deal with all those other gazillion things you've been doing! My God, just Veterinary School (by itself) is a more-than full-time job! I bet you're excited to finally be getting near the end! I can't wait to hear that you've graduated and that I'll have to refer to you as "Dr. Sheldon" from then on!!!💗💗💗

Hello Donna how’s the weather over there

[@stevem3413]

Watch this reminds me of my father. He was a ferrier/ blacksmith specializing in corrective work. Spent my youth watching him

[@trangthanhnguyen3387]

I have no idea about horses and farriers, but I love your videos because of your calming voice and how therapeutic the whole process is. Thanks for uploading!

[@jackreeves3001]

If I had it to do again (I'm 75) and a retired contractor I would be a farrier. Working by yourself and helping animals. More + than - . And you do a wonderful job.. Thanks for sharing your time! KANSAS

[@wilddog1985]

Great video. Prioritize what you need, this will always be around. You have the best shoeing channel on KZbin.

[@maverick_vet]

very kind

[@murderkitten]

I don't know much about what you're doing, because my horse experience is limited to riding them when I was younger, but I love the channel because you explain things so well.

[@corvideer1738]

No need to apologize for going a while between vids. We'll be here, excited to see new ones whenever you're ready to post them!

[@sondraelder2627]

Life gets busy. Prioritize and get to the rest when you can. Thanks for posting!

[@kiskaochi]

As always your attention to detail and the way you explain what you’re doing is fantastic

[@maverick_vet]

Thank you very much!

[@stevenhenry4127]

Hello Margaret how’s the weather over there

[@JLR77]

Thank you for your videos! I dont own a horse or live on a farm but for some reason your videos bring me a lot of enjoyment. Take care.

[@lessik28]

How fun it was with your new shoes! The two dogs were waiting for the hoof prey until the very end, they kept an eye on it! :-)

[@donnavictorian579]

I'm so happy you furthered your education to become a vet that is wonderful!!!👨‍⚕️

[@ericridg7143]

Happy New Year and a Merry Christmas to you and your family Sheldon. No apologies needed for being quiet, family first, school and shoeing second and third (I'll bet that's a tight race) and probably a whole lot more before making videos. Always a pleasure to see you and looking forward to the next video! Take care

[@k9insomniac783]

I hope everyone can appreciate what it takes to hold that bent leg position holding a hoof, while bent over at the back. I can barely handle bending over to pick something up let alone holding the pose. My hats off to ya.

[@johnsmith-pz7pi]

Thx 4 showing your "patient", lol. And I love learning about the horse's condition etc. Hope you and yours have a great 2022.

[@tomascastaneda2450]

Sir, you never need to apologize for the content you bring us.

[@AndersonCattleCo]

your advice at the end is the same thing my mother said everyday before school

[@EquiEsti6194]

Awww, poor things friend won’t respond to him. His winnies are absolutely adorable tho

[@ryanwhitehurst8703]

I know absolutely zero of horses but find myself fascinated with these kind of videos.

[@TruthOverLies]

Another good video Sheldon! Thanks for showing us the happy customer in the end!

[@ebhkkc1]

Welcome back I love showing the horse at the end

[@101taiga]

That’s a dainty hoof! Congrats on coming to the finish line with school. Seriously Don’t know how you manage everything…! I have one job, 3 12 hour shifts per week, one doggo, one camper van, and I barely manage that! Best wishes to you and your family. Happy New Year!

[@maverick_vet]

Tell me about it

[@d00dEEE]

That's a handsome boy, strutting his shiny new shoes.

[@BlessedBeTheFroot]

I had no idea how intricately specialised your job is! So much to know and experience. Thankyou for sharing such interesting work.

You are so welcome!

[@ChrisLascari]

Good stuff! Vet stuff mixed in sounds great too. I always look forward to your next video

[@maverick_vet]

Awesome, thank you!

[@emilymoulder5980]

Really good to see you back! Im not a farrier and don't even have my own horse anymore, but I find your videos so therapeutic and anxiety easing to watch. Something about your way of being reassures me there is good in the world. Thanks for taking the time to share. Watching from Devon, UK.

[@stevenhenry4127]

Hello Emily how’s the weather over there

[@kailand3056]

Sheldon, wishing you and your family a happy, healthy and prosperous New Year! Thank you for the video and especially for the ending clip showing the horse you worked on. Congratulations on almost finishing veterinary school - I’m looking forward to hearing about your adventures in the future!

[@stevenhenry4127]

Hello Kailand how’s the weather over there

[@catandrobbyflores]

I just recently learned that horses can basically have orthopedic horseshoes from another channel and today I learned about snow horseshoes from your channel.

[@autumnisnothere]

Thanks for explaining about the snow pads. We didn't shoe our horses in the winter because of the snow build up but every now and then one would need some support. Sure enjoy your videos and pleased to hear your schooling is soon to come to an end. You are one very busy man.

[@stevenhenry4127]

Hello Susie how’s the weather over there

Awww 🥰🦋 He's so adorable and love that snow pad to push the snow out goes to show I've been out of the loop for far too long I didn't even know those exist. 😳

[@stevenhenry4127]

Hello Linette how’s the weather over there

[@neurodivergentnetizen4535]

Your videos are "oddly satisfying" enough that I don't mind you posting infrequently.

[@maverick_vet]

Glad you like them!

[@granny-nyan]

I've seen quite a lot of horseshoeing videos, but yours are my fav : the explanations, the therapeutic shoes, the lil funny comments...

[@FiaraGC]

Thank you for telling us why he was talking so much. For people who aren't farrier's or horse owners, but animal lovers. Also, that's the cutest inspector I've ever seen!

[@billy9995]

Love what you do for the horses sheldon, much respect, ive learned so much here.

[@cr0wd3m0n6]

It's really calming and nice to watch you hoof horses, Keep up the good content 👍

[@oh8wingman]

I like watching your videos for two reasons. The first is because they inform me and educate me on a subject I know very very little about. The second is because they remind me of my Father. My Father was born in 1919 on a farm located near Vermillion Alberta Canada. In 1938, my Grandfather determined that one of the family horses had to be put down. The reason for this was this particular horse suffered from a condition where the hooves would split vertically and the horse would go lame and require the attentions of a farrier which, being the depression years, the family could ill afford. My Father was greatly upset about this. That horse was his favourite and, in a sense, was his friend and he loved that animal. He was there when it was born and he had raised it as his own. My Father pleaded with his Father and the response was if he could find a way to fix the animal up and pay for it he could keep it. My Father talked to the local farrier and it turns out that there were special rubber shoes that seemed to work well but they were expensive, $25.00 to be exact. $25.00 was a lot of money in those days but my Father took every dime he had and paid the farrier to do the work. After the shoeing was done, there was no further signs of hoof fracturing and a year later in 1939 when new shoes were needed, my Father again paid the bill. Shortly thereafter, the war broke out and Canada was in the fray. My Father joined the RCAF and went off to do his service. In 1940, the horse needed shoeing again but things went badly. Instead of telling my Father my Grandfather took it upon himself to shoot the animal and have the local rendering company haul it away. When my Dad found out he was heartbroken had a furious argument with his Father. Although he never said anything, I think my Dad felt betrayed. He never forgave my Grandfather for this and carried those memories with him to his dying day. My Father died two days after my 14th birthday . I'm 69 now and I still miss my Dad and remember that horse and how his kindness gave it another two years of life.........

[@lotus7589]

If you're rushing for the dental imprint material, I have a suggestion; Since it is a 2 part composite, you can prepare them beforehand by getting the equal amounts and putting them together, but not yet kneading them, until you get to the horse. If the sulpate or other materials you want to mix in to it are a problem, try mixing it to either part of the impression material instead and repeating the process of getting part A and part B to the horse before mixing. it will also make the horses more comfortable in the long run since the inside of that impression stuff is already hardening on the inside within minutes! It saves you the stress of having to rush to get each shoe on. Love your videos!

[@pamelastewart1334]

Good to see you back. Can’t wait for more. Congrats on completing Vet school, those videos will be exciting and a good mix with the showing… keep up the great work you do. 🎉🎉

[@mustangsupersnake7848]

This man has a beautiful soul. His love for the horses and words of wisdom along the way of his technical prowess are magical. Bless his heart.

[@Fosuya]

A trick I learned from a cobbler when grinding, if put the material a tiny bit below the wheel and aim the pad or such as you form a T against the grinder. It allows you to see how much material is left and you can use the rotation force to rotate the piece you're working on

[@justjan147]

Sheldon, it's great seeing a video from you. Obviously family, work and school win out over yt content every time. Glad you're doing well. This was a cool video to watch with all the techniques you shared. I guess that's why we like you so much you're always sharing what you know with other farriers so you pay it forward in a manner of speaking. Sounds like you've got some exciting changes planned for your channel once you graduate and we're looking forward to it! Hope you and your family, especially your boys, had a wonderful Christmas! Happy New Year to you all as well. Be safe and God bless!

[@11thShadowDragon]

Totally fair the channel would get quiet when school intensifies, it happens. I don't really spend any time around horses but I still find the process pretty interesting - and if I happen upon a horse someday what I pick up will probably be at least a little useful, so I'm glad you're still goin'. Happy new years!

[@melanisticmandalorian8909]

Always look forward to your videos.

[@maverick_vet]

Glad you like them!

[@lunaarc23]

Enjoyed the video, I didn't know what thrush was until you said this horse has it. Learning so much from you, keep up the good work 😀 Also I had no idea horses had snow shoes! That is amazing!

Just amazing to watch the work you farriers do . . . your like cobblers for horses love watching you work

[@martenmaarten]

ive seen a video of yours months ago and was stupid enough to not immediately follow. ive spent all this time trying to find you again and i did!! really love your videos, theyre a special kind of calming :]

[@johncarlsen9318]

No apologies necessary. Between school, work and most importantly family you are one busy man. Always good to see what you are dealing with horse wise as I get to see a lot of the products you are using everyday where I work. Very informative videos as you try to explain what the problem with the horse is and how you are trying to correct it. Will be looking forward to the next video.

[@yt650]

The following information has almost nothing to do with horseshoeing but it does have a little bit to do with aluminum. Aluminum comes in various hardnesses. For those who don’t understand you could go to a place called McMaster Carr, found on the Internet and if you go to aluminum they will explain some of that to you in quick order. I mostly work with aluminum in metal spinning. You can also make things like gas tanks for motorcycles out of sheet aluminum. If you have aluminum that is relatively hard and doesn’t want to bend you can turn on the acetylene only on your torch and blacken the entire area and then turn on the torch and wave it back-and-forth heating it until the black is all gone, you have now Annealed the aluminum. Aluminum melts at give or take at 1150° F. This gentleman in his way of doing things which is perfect, he’s taking advantage of some of those things mentioned above in a different way. That’s why I subscribe. If some of this help you that is a great thing remember too hot and it turns to a puddle that is shiny. Edit; I came back to add a little experiment that one can do with a propane torch. If you have the lid from a cat food can aluminum of course try to bend it with your hands and see how stiff it is. Now warm it up with a propane torch not to the point that you melt it and let it cool by itself. Now see if you can bend it in your hands and you will find out that you have annealed it.

[@toniatalley1977]

The horse sure does have a lot to say. So sweet and precious

[@janegrieve]

Great to see you back Sheldon

[@burnished]

Always so happy to see you upload! Just keep doing you!

[@maverick_vet]

You're the best!

[@adrienneclarke3953]

I love how you keep talking. I watch a lot of cow hoof videos and they keep us so informed about what they are doing, we can almost look at a hoof and figure out what needs to be done. Unfortunately a lot of the farriers dont tell us what they are doing or why. I know nothing, can watch a 100 hours of horse shoeing and still know nothing if you dont talk about what you are doing.

[@victorconsiglio3467]

You have a amazing skill! It’s a pleasure to watch your craft!

[@usaidkhan9782]

Love your uploads. another great video 😁

[@thesquirrelchroniclesakare7808]

[@davidpreston3562]

This has to be one of the hardest trades to learn!!! Lots of care and responsibility to the horse!!👍

[@strayyystayyy]

At first, I thought you were hurting the horse from how he was hollering so thank you for telling us that he is just worried about his friend

[@RomanAroundSF]

I love your videos my man. Keep them up. There hasn't been a time Sheldon that I haven't enjoyed your work to decompress. It takes me back to Ukraine when I used to help grandad, handing him tools.

[@Stuey1221]

Never realised how much I missed your videos until I saw the notification you’d posted again!

[@shoer5151]

Great to see u back ! Happy New Year

[@FreeMahee]

Your a very wholesome and genuine person. Even those who don't own a horse (me 😊) still like to watch and learn about how your looking after these beautiful horses, as you are very intelligent and articulate with the knowledge you pass on. It makes for a very interesting video. Keep up all the great work your doing 👍.

Can we talk about how intense your inspector is...? My truck would look like a mess too if I had such a wickedly distracting presence hovering around watching every move I make. I tip my hat to your diligence, sir. Keep that inspector happy.

[@ilonamollema6467]

Hi Sheldon, I'm wishing you and your loved ones a very happy New Year! Really love how you explain what you're doing and why. It makes all the difference. Please never apologise for not posting video's. Vet school, work and family (in no particular order) are way more important than posting on social media! Wishing you all the best with the final work of vet school. Saying hi from the Netherlands. 🤗

Congrats on the upcoming end of vet school, DR. Sheldon ^_^Those snow shoes are really cool! I never even considered that issue, but it makes a lot of sense. You know, your viewers - myself included - would be tickled pink if you ended with a selfie with the horse. We like seeing your face!
