i know hooves are keratin but that he was so calm with you holding literal red-hot metal on his foot to the point of a pretty alarming amount of smoke when sizing it... kudos to his owners and y'all as farriers for the training and desensitization-work!

[@elainer9472]

I love heavy horses... this one is lucky to have your custom shoes

[@lynnwilson2615]

I am just amazed every time I watch! Thank you, sir!

[@M.Campbell]

What a beautiful, sweet, calm horse. Excellent work. I'm sure he's much happier.

[@robertshrewsbury5067]

I was a bit startled to note that the middle piece appeared to be have made from a file, but creative work is just that. Thanks for the work to help this horse and compensating for the genetics.

[@ferretyluv]

Probably an old file that had long since been worn down.

[@squeakysquirrel3852]

Absolutely stunning horse! Job well done!

[@Kim-lc3fv]

[@Ksweetpea]

[@welshtoro3256]

[@sharonmorgan256]

That isn't 8 week growth!

[@ChicagoMel23]

He said 9 weeks

[@bevakathedementedraccoon]

i dunno, my geldings feet can grow that much in 8-10 weeks. Which is why he's on a 6 week trim schedule to keep on top of it.

[@user-cv4yw3bo5i]

응원합니다.

[@Corneilus123]

Long super custom horse gets a draft

[@mikelemere8336]

I'm a front-end loader operator and know nothing about trimming. But you said it's the way the hoof is growing,? Why isn't it where he's not using/wearing down. If he's walking on his heels wouldn't that happen? Just curious. Great videos. Thanks

[@BrianSmith-ql5nj]

👍👍

[@Cerbera66]

When are horseshoes indicated for draft horses and when is it better to leave them out? Or is it a matter of taste for the owner or the farrier? I often see many of these huge horses barefoot and previously thought that this was better for the weight of the animals.

[@TrinityBloodFan02]

❤ 🐎 ❤ 🔨 ❤

[@grimbo73]

would it be possible to extend the back of the shoe a bit more to compensate for the forward growth? I'm not a horse guy...so it might sound like an odd question.

[@emmawillard1832]

That doesn't work. The foot will grow the way the horse's genetics make it grow. Also, recall the farrier said this horse doesn't pull his shoes so he's not worried about a bit of the shoe being longer than the horse's heel. For horses which tend to over track, a shoe with a longer heel is an invitation to catching the heel of the shoe on foreleg with the toe of the hind leg as it swings forward. If the shoe is already somewhat loose on a foot close to being trim time, the damage may be relatively minor. If the shoe is tight and caught by the hind toe, half of the foot may come off with the shoe: the keratin of the hoof will break much sooner than the steel of the shoe. The purpose of the heart bar is to provide support for the heels which drop closer to the ground and are run under the foot as the toe grows forward. The shoe brings the foot back in alignment with the cannon bone and the joints below it. Farriers must -- as this farrier does -- concern themselves with the whole anatomy of the horse and the flight / non-weightbearing and weightbearing cycle of the horse's motion, not just the foot. Good farriers are very, very hard to find and worth multiples of what they charge!

[@grimbo73]

@@emmawillard1832 makes sense to me...i figured there was a reason he didn't do it that way...

[@emmawillard1832]

@@grimbo73 There are times when the farrier will put what's known as "trailers" on a horse's hind shoes. One branch of the shoe will be made longer than the other. This prevents a horse which twists his leg in the weight bearing phase from doing so. It's another "therapeutic" shoeing device to correct an anatomical or flight phase problem. There are literally hundreds of shoes which can be made to serve particular purposes for rehab after injury or to address ongoing problems of how a horse moves and how his foot grows normally or abnormally, i.e., not perfectly. I've owned a great many horses and never one with "perfect" feet.

[@ComboMuster]

How long does it take to forge a custom horseshoe like that? sorry for asking I'm a n00b 😄😄😄

[@pixie706]

The type of shoe that you think is best might or might not actually feel comfortable to the horse. Compare your own shoes and think how they affect your movement. A different foot angle will affect the whole skeleton and action which must have some effect. If only horses could talk

[@thisisdone6018]

Does he only grow forward on that one hoof?

[@susandolan9543]

Don't look like it but he only had time to film one hoof. The others were taken care of off camera. It was only an 8 minute video.

Club foot

[@nicolea8288]

This is not confirmation I call this farrier disease trimming the heel out is the reason for all these problems for this horse. Please study the anatomically correct trim to restore this horse's Hooves and health on Facebook and KZbin

[@SpruceSculptures]

How long does it take to forge one shoe like this?

[@larryhendrick892]

Does anyone know what the white powder the farrier placed on the shoe was?

[@marymulrooney1334]

Does just his one hoof do that?

[@gregoryh4601]

Sir Can we This Horse with the Finish New Shoes on her / Him ?

[@karinapfel650]

Does that low pastern angle contribute to his poor hoof growth?

[@neilwhitehorse5653]

Too much metal for weapons against others horses. Horses are not born with horseshoes.

[@DJDave1962]

Fantastic work great to watch
