I can’t believe how people neglect these horses hooves. Thank goodness for this gifted blacksmith. Wow he is so good!

[@mattbarrett41]

Like many times in life. People have no idea what they’re buying

[@ninel1995]

I guess that this hooves were put on before they become so overgrown.

[@bobslydell806]

I learned how on KZbin and some overly generous horses. They actually like it now

[@robinholland1136]

Watching this, you can see why, historically, smiths were revered as magicians. The shoe itself is a work of art and the process of making it is mesmerising. I really am in awe of the knowledge and skills of the farrier. I know next to nothing about horses . . . but I'm learning fast! Incredible work.

[@neeadevil4840]

Wait people thought Smiths were magicians? Humanity never ceases to amaze me.

[@narellemacpherson9759]

Fabulous job, please wear ear muffs to protect your hearing from all the banging, this advice is from a nurse

[@solaroracle6970]

​@@neeadevil4840 In Nigeria, home to some of the earliest iron working cultures on the planet, blacksmiths assumed a great deal of spiritual and political importance that continues into the modern era. Working with iron in particular is very difficult, and a population was quite dependent on a small population of smiths to make tools and weapons alike.

[@RaysLaughsAndLyrics]

@@narellemacpherson9759 No better comment. Add to that these facts: 1)Hearing protection is cheaper than hearing aids. 2) Better hearing will result in fewer falls as you age. Thanks for the heads up. Best to you and yours.

[@richards7909]

With regards protecting hearing, that’s a good idea but I suspect the smiths at least use the sound from the ‘banging’ as feedback when creating items.

[@pol2171]

The workmanship of the farriers is fantastic. But also, what impresses me is the patience of the horses whilst the work is taking place on their hoof. Well done to both. x

[@baaboodaalaakoos]

i was making mental pictures of the horse that how he's showing off to his mates and telling em '' huh look at these shiny new shoes of mine here mannnn '' while t master put his foot on that step there :D :ddd

[@QCmaxthebeast]

Late, but they're sedated usually

[@Fireclaws10]

I came here for the horse shoeing, stayed because you’re a truly incredible blacksmith. Rare to see someone quickly and efficiently make a tool with no grinders or other power tools, just a hammer. Got to the exact shape, size and proportions with just hands and eyeballs.

I agree: one tends to take more pride in a handmade product, rather than something pre-built! Plus, in this day and age, having more skills takes you farther.

[@KeaveMind]

Having more skills has always been taking people farther..

[@ria2453]

@@KeaveMind nope, i know farriers dont apply to this, but many people only go far because of success other people have created, like generational wealth for example, you can use the existing money you're left with to force ways to get yourself further. only difference is that its not sustainable

Make sure you watch the whole video. A lot of your questions are answered throughout the video. Pretty ironic that we made a heart bar on Valentine’s Day! Enjoy the video!

I'm addicted to ur channel. It's the forging I like the best! To take a bar of metal n forge it, bend it, beat it, form it n make tracks for the nails. It's a craftsmanship to be proud of. To see the before n after is amazing. Keep up the great work, from S.E. TN!!

[@mathchat5160]

I don't think most people have a clue how much skill and craftsmanship is needed to make specialized horseshoes from scratch. Add in the fact that the draft horse, who was easily over 1000 pounds, was constantly pulling his hoof away- mad respect.

[@toniatalley1977]

How can people let their poor horses get in this bad shape like this. That's terrible for the horse. Bless it. Thank you for helping them

[@tiggerwigger9135]

That was the most amazing piece of craftsmanship I've ever witnessed. What a Masterpiece! I've watched so many different videos of ppl shoeing horses, but this just made me truly appreciate the quality of someone who knows exactly what they are doing. My grandfather was a blacksmith but he died when I was only 7 and I only got to witness his work first hand once. So appreciate all the care these ppl take in doing their trade. Kudos to all of you!!

[@quedog10pop]

I'm just a black man that knows nothing about horses, BUT I can tell good craftsmanship when i see it! Old school blacksmithing! Awesome job sir!

You need to look up Black cowboys. They're in the middle of big cities like LA and NYC.

[@Lauresaurus96]

One my other favorite farrier channels talked about why he hand makes shoes a lot, too. He said that it gives him the ability to support the horses in ways that premade shoes sometimes can’t. He also said that he prefers to stock the unmolded bars rather than lug around all of the specialty premade shoes in any size that he might need. That made a lot of sense to me and I think it’s great that you encourage your students to learn it, even if they choose mostly premade shoes in their careers.

[@tictactoe325]

Incredible work as always. You’ve made such a fantastic difference to this horse. He/ she is going to feel so much more comfortable and confident with his/her feet. Thank you for the work that you do.

[@panoruryu]

I keep coming back to this channel because of the artistry and the care that goes into each shoe. It's all about making sure the horse will improve and get the support they need.

[@sandrasmith16]

I love watching a master craftsman farrier at work, from working out what the foot needs to give it strength and balance, to making the appropriate shoe for the horse to help for hoof health , comfort and hoof improvement

[@catherinehubbard1167]

Even though this horse has not been kindly treated as his feet degraded to this state, he is amazingly patient with the trimming and shoeing process. I hope his life is much better going forward. Such skill - seeing the “before” it is hard to imagine getting to the “after.”

I am absolutely blown away by the forging of your custom shoes. I've seen you do it a number of times and still come away astounded by your skills in that department.

[@NefariousElasticity]

I'm always amazed how patient these horses are with letting their hooves be handled, scraped, burned, and nailed into.

[@AvalancheCleo]

not all of them. I have a Jazz horse who's impossible to shoe. Thankfully he doesn't need it, he has very good hooves naturally. But when I decided to take the shoes off, we had to sedate him as he was willing to fight us over it. It was because his feet hurt badly, he'd been shod wrong. Now he knows that trimming doesn't hurt and it helps him so he's a very good boy now. Well aside from throwing everything he can find, that is.

[@lynnehuff9659]

They are trained to have their hooves handled.

[@crushlogic]

I love how the horse was standing so proper with his hoof on the post. "Please, my good sir, I would appreciate your attention to my nails".

[@StefanyAlvarez]

Yes sir 💅🏻

Wow ! That truly is an art . I knew nothing about horseshoes and never realised all the craftsmanship involved. Thanks for all your hard work and dedication to do what's best for these beautiful animals.😊

[@novembermiss]

Didn't realize until I saw your post that you did a heart bar shoe on Valentine's Day--this draft horse got his very own Valentine! Exceptional work. The craftsmanship and skill involved in making a shoe by hand is something that your students will take with them throughout their careers that will make them stand out from other farriers. This horse's hoof already looks 100 times better--please update us as to how he heals in 2 months. Hopefully the horse feels better already.

It's fabulous that you build from scratch. It create a deeper understanding of the craft and superior ability. There's always that exception to the norm. Your students, ate prepared. Instead of trying to force the horse to conform to the norm. Your students understand that normal doesn't really exist and they will treat each client as the individuals they are. And that's the way its done. Thank you for passing on excellence instead of dangerous mediocrity

[@robertshrewsbury5067]

I understood hooves grew downwards but I didn't know there was a possible variant in Draft Horses, of potentially growing sideways instead. Not giving much to work with. Appreciate your explanation. In an era of supply availability becoming questionable, your students will be well prepared to be able to take on making needed materials from scratch. Thank you for you sound idea of teaching and for creating the confidence to handle things that come their way.

[@miketroutman7365]

Great work. Always amazed at how the hoof looks when trim is completed.
