SUPER Long Hoof Transformation

[@rebahensley5323]

Thank you for helping this horse. Boo to whomever let this happen.

[@dariusus9870]

nature?

[@Evebr]

I agree, Thank should quality as animal cruelty.

[@TheKomentor]

I've seen these Chinese hoof trimming videos on donkeys and they use a long, heavy, sharp tool to push down and chip away at the hooves. Seems to be very effective. I wonder why the American farriers don't use that tool, or is it that donkey hooves are softer than horse hooves?

[@andreapulver2127]

So sweet to see the young lady comforting this beautiful and gentle horse! Thank you!

[@Animal_lover123-x7w]

❤ I agree. When he said this poor little guy didn't have any sedation and was very nervous I was hoping someone was there to distract and give reassuring comfort. Just the noise in the place must have been frightening for this neglected pony. Hat tip to this farrier and the assistant for taking their time and patience to help this amazing little pony get through this frightening ordeal.

[@bigstar75]

This man amazes me every time. He is truly the epitome of goodness, expertise and enormous care. Thank you for giving this horse a lease.

[@suellenspencer-eb2nv]

Well said.

Beautiful work! I imagine this was a huge stress reliever for the horse.

[@KateandBree]

It's amazing how tiny those hooves are once you clean them up. Such tiny little hooves and relatively healthy all things considered. I love that you recognized this pony was nervous and chose to take it slow. I recognize that farriers have other clients to get to, but that first time back or that first time meeting a farrier is so important. Taking it at a nervous animal's pace is so, so important.

[@theresehopkins1581]

Thanks for explaining everything.... what you do is so wonderful..... and you can tell that horse is relaxing and trusting you!!😊❤

[@renferal5290]

I really appreciate your compassion and kindness towards this horse

[@olgadodge4904]

This is absolutely horrible & my heart aches for the pain this poor horse had to endure.❤ Thank you so much for what you do & God bless you. 😍😍

[@anneterry3660]

My jaw has dropped. Part engineer, part foot expert, and horse expert too, there have to be moments when without extreme care the situation could be a disaster for one or both, the horse and the farrier.

[@jeanettecoleman-mz7ie]

Oh, Expert, expert here,😂

[@lindafrench5412]

I'm amazed! After all this time of seeing farriers work on these kinds of hooves this is the 1st time I've seen someone not use a saw to hack off the toe! 👍 I loved seeing the process, such great skill. You're very talented. Thank you for helping this neglected pony. 🐎

[@348Tobico]

Such beautiful little hooves hidden under all that crusty keratin! With out your care and expertise these horses with awful hoof problems would suffer so much. Thank goodness a person finally came into this little horses life and brought him to you for care. Your videos always make my day better---and I don't even have hooves!

[@maryainsworth5022]

That was impressive! Poor baby, from overgrown hooves to a perfectly shaped one. A new lease on life to walk, run, lope, and be a horse. Thank you for taking care of this little one.

[@waadfrelle]

I admire tough strong men having such a gentle touch on their clients. No, no double meanings here, I’m dead serious. I cannot understand owners or family friends neighbours of owners, who allow such overgrowth, but thank god there is you to relieve the little guy and give him a sound base to stand on. I am a retired nurse with no horse expertise at all, but I am addicted to your work.

[@christinalee7985]

This poor horse. I hope he finds a place with humans that care enough to take care of his well being. Your an amazing guy and it shows with your skill, and craft. Thank you for helping him and all the others you help. ❤😢

[@meramaroldo4839]

I want to see the end result with the horse walking without discomfort! I'm sure they're so happy! Thank you for what you do and how much care you do it with.

[@nickborrrego]

It's great hearing these details and you have a clear emphasis on how the regrowth will play out after this is done. Excellent work and these horses must feel so much better.

[@jonnsmusich]

With over 150K subscribers I hope KZbin rewards you for the pleasure we get watching you and the relief you give to your "clients". A truly fine production from you and your cameraperson.

[@lauralake7430]

Such a pretty little foot when its done. Hope he goes on to settle into a nice life as a good little pony with a family that is happy to have him.

[@stephanieparker1250]

Ugh my heart broke seeing those overgrown hooves… thank you for helping that horse. ❤❤❤

[@theresapippin8523]

So informative! I never knew that horses had their hooves grow out like that. Bless their hearts! Poor babies! No animal should ever be mistreated!

[@woodsonpayne8378]

You are a wonderful person and take great care of this little pony's feet. Thank you for explaining what you are doing.

[@sharonwise3433]

Very, very patient and meticulous farrier. Excellent work!

[@Ramona57-TX]

That was beautifully done, like a work of art. I always see people sawing off the length of the hoof and then addressing the underside after. I take my hat off to your skills and helping others learn the right way to correct this. Thank you so very much.

[@GrammaJo360]

My grandson talks about learning this trade. He’s done some blacksmithing and loves it.

[@cathymarble3283]

Thank you so much for helping this pained horse! ❤

[@mobayguy]

I know nothing about horses, but I think you did a very good and humane thing for this horse. Learned something new😊. Blessings and Thanks

[@janetharnwell7221]

It’s amazing to turn something so abnormal into a normal little hoof especially when it took a very long time to reach that neglected long length. I’m sure the pony is smiling and feels fantastic.

[@shawnaford5540]

This is so appreciated. I recently saw a video where they were just taking toe, to blood and calling it abscess. The heels were untouched. They also said they just got a new farrier so I hope that horse gets real relief. Watching this helps me understand why I was cringing.

[@kayBTR]

Was the video you saw done at a ‘rescue’ farm or place?

[@valmiron4360]

I think it's good to do this slowly, manually. Great teaching, informative video. Beautiful results! 😊👍

[@suellenspencer-eb2nv]

Thank you so much for your care of these horses. You are so kind & really care.

[@CatsSleepyHollow]

Would have loved to see all four. Amazing work.

[@reginafarias]

Me too!

[@huskytail]

I also thought at the end of the video that it would have been amazing to see the little guy walk around trying his 4 new tires 😋😁. Still, it's satisfying to know he must be feeling so much better.

[@peterwilliams7641]

How satisfying that must be. True craftsmanship at work.

[@anne15680]

I'm amazed by your skills. Great job and a great day for the horse

[@SMcCaskill]

Those poor horses!!! I'm so glad they are getting their desperately needed care from you. I know this little one was so happy when you were finished.

[@theresalero7039]

What a good little lad! At some point he began to understand. Very gifted farrier, thank you sir!

[@teebowers2273]

Thank you for your sharing of this video. It was quite informative and I’m sure that little pony is immensely grateful!

[@ritafarris]

I wonder where these horses and ponies come from that are so neglected. Great job!

[@fuya5956]

Thank you so much for explaining what you do and why, I really prefer these videos over the silent ones. Thank you for helping the little pony

[@CindyHuot]

I LOVE that you are teaching...please continue!!

[@DebiB62]

I've watched other horse videos but the quality of the learning experience was much better for this video than any other I've seen so far. SUBSCRIBED!

[@lyndamac1058]

The owner of that horse should be in jail. It staggers me when humans neglect/abuse their animals. I appreciate you in taking care of them.

[@philthycat1408]

So glad someone actually pointed this out 👍. How was this allowed to happen?

[@rosetucker9049]

Should be in jail I agree. I know it can't be done but you want them to be treated like the animal was. It makes me furious. If you don't want to take care of them surrender them to an animal rescue.

[@DataPilot370]

While seeing such an incredible amount of neglect makes me sad, I also understand how these cases happen. You’d be amazed at how many people can look at this horse’s hooves and see nothing wrong. Or can look at an emaciated horse and not realize they’re anything more than a little skinny. It never ceases to amaze me. I’ve worked with horse rescue organizations for years. Nearly all are overwhelmed with unwanted horses, and placing a neglected horse for voluntary surrender can be difficult or impossible. One of the agencies I’ve been involved with works in tandem with Animal Control, and they always focus on educating and assisting owners with providing proper care for their animals. Owners only face seizure or surrender if the situation truly is hopeless. Most owners of neglected horses do try to rectify what they can.

[@MirandaWheeler79]

Not always owners fault, Farriers are a dieing breed in the modern world. Not many people train or apprentice to be a Farrier these days because soceity is telling everyone to make money in cities. As a result, horse farmers or anybody who uses horses have to wait a long time before a fully trained farrier is available to trim and shoe their horses, add to that the expense as well, shoeing a stable of horses can get expensive too and in a economic downturn the owner has to seriously think. This is not just greed or neglect sometimes it is a sign of the times

[@ditheangel4916]

Finde ich auch

[@GrainneDhub-ll6vw]

Impressive that the farrier managed to work with that pony without any sedation at all. Safer for the pony but definitely not safer for the farrier, especially working with a small equine like that, where the farrier really has to be hunched over into an awkward and uncomfortable position to accommodate the pony's size. So good to see a farrier who tackles the biggest problem first: those horribly long, under run heels! So many videos go straight for sawing off the long toe but leave way too much heel, which means the horse or pony isn't left with a good foundation to start growing a healthy, well shaped hoof from. Leaving the heels too long means that the tendons and ligaments of the legs are still being pulled in an incorrect way, which means the joints are being subjected to abnormal wear whenever the horse or pony is on their feet, which raises the risk of lameness, including the onset of arthritis much earlier in life.

[@GBrown-nr2jn]

Would love to see the horse walking after completion.

[@nancysimpson4246]

You are a very good man and doing a great job. I’ve been watching for Shores force tremors online and I’ve never seen it done like this. This is the correct way you don’t even want to know what I’ve seen and how they do these horses I don’t know nothing about shit but I know it’s the wrong way you are doing it the right way.

[@PinkyPuff69]

These videos are very relaxing to me. Thank you for making it possible for us to watch the master at work! At 0:46 I was surprised to hear the explanation in English. Thanks to you all for treating the donkey's overgrown painful hooves!!!

[@sandrasmith16]

I just love watching you work. Seeing in real time the hoof taking shape to where it should be is just beautiful. The care that you put in to help the hoof look how it should, in turn, help the owner of that hoof feel great. 😊

[@sheilahogan8703]

Omg the driffrent between what it furst look like and when it trim is amazing

[@mommymawmaw1852]

It would be nice to see before and after at the end of these really neglected horses. It was so so much better for that one hoof. 😮

[@mmctaggart3012]

What a perfectly beautiful shape you gave that hoof. You are truly an artist

[@Animal_lover123-x7w]

I'm a new subscriber. Hi everyone. I just want to say that I was truly impressed with the skill and patience this ferrier has. I love to see people who care about their work and take pride in what they do. Wow fantastic job, Sir. Hat tip to YOU and your ASSISTANT. PS: Thank you for the information and the opportunity to listen and learn as you went through the process.

[@michaelskinner896]

Incredible work. Just like with anything, experience and technique are key to successful hoof health. Still, I'm always amazed at how this is done and what the results are.

[@suefleming]

People that abuse and neglect their animals are disgusting.

[@thatradfailure5197]

I don't think I realized how small the hoof was supposed to be until the cut to you explaining that you were now looking for the true apex of the frog. Wowzers

[@thegriffin88]

Watching you brings me back over 20 years ago when I was talking riding lessons at a summer day camp. Middle of August and we were stuck outside because the farrier was working in the big barn area and we weren't allowed in because the horse was less secure, there was a blast furnace, and Mindy (the owner) didn't want a gaggle of preteens bothering him. But it was also the only place with a fan. So we were stuck in the yard and you can't remove your helmet there. Your black velvet helmet. You would beg to clean water buckets. Do you know what's in a horse water bucket? Old horse spit. But at least you could turn the hose on yourself. Actually, of all the chores we did, cleaning tack was my favorite. Kinda translates into my current career: painting conservation. I like working on one thing with many parts for a long time. Cleaning tack you have to dismantle it, scrub it down, wax it, shine the metal, and reassemble it. Paintings you need to stabilize (literally glue the paint on), clean off old varnish and previous retouching, replace it with your own, then add a coat of new varnish. It's a solo job unless you need to move a piece bigger than yourself. But I like solo jobs, like cleaning tack and paintings worth more than me. (although the combined value of all that tack was also probably worth more than me) The place, Seaton Hackney in Morristown, NJ, closed down years back but I remember it all these years later and would still love the chance to get in the saddle again.

[@ealexeenko]

Poor little thing! Great job done! Always so satisfying to watch ❤

[@michelerowes4340]

That horse is so good !

[@sandielindemeyer9341]

His little hoof looks so good!

[@kailand3056]

Very interesting video - I really appreciated seeing a manual trim of the overgrown portion of the hoof rather than using a power tool.

[@momnoah5]

Wow, what a difference. You can really see the angle changes in the leg & pastern. I'd love to see the other three feet done and how the little guy walks afterwards. I bet he is much more comfortable. For all the neglect, he seems a pretty calm sweet little pony. I would imagine he had a little light sedative and/or pain relief to allow him to stand on that one bad foot long enough for you to do the first.

[@huskytail]

The farrier said they didn't have any sedatives and that's why he took his time and didn't use any power tools.

[@dianebannister4591]

Great job! Thank you kind farrier for helping that horse to have a greatly improved life. And even though I don't have horses, it's very interesting to me to watch the hooves being trimmed.

[@julieashworth7193]

Bet the horse feels like he's walking on air now..great thing you've done there!..well done, and I'll say it for the little guy..THANK YOU!!🩵

[@Animal_lover123-x7w]

“ here, here ” I second your sentiment!!! This pony must be on cloud 9 saying, "THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR HELPING ME!" Hey, Mister~ Next time I'll share a carrot or two with you!

[@susandolan9543]

What a pretty buckskin painted pony. Too bad it was so neglected until it was saved. It would make some kid a good show pony.

[@Brembelia]

Looks so much better now. I'm sure that pony is feeling a lot less stress and discomfort in his legs after receiving a proper flat surface to stand and walk on.

[@chandarussell]

Poor little horse probably felt so much better with all the pressure off the heels. Much more comfortable

[@hartdr8074]

Why is this so fascinating to me? It's so oddly satisfying

[@JennTN411]

I'm thankful for the owner bringing the animal in to be treated. Bad situations don't only include humans, and I hope they are able to keep up with its care. ❤

[@stevemarshall3481]

Absolutely perfect explanation of what you're doing and why you're doing it.

[@jacquiward7017]

I don’t even have any horses and I can’t stop watching these videos…you do some amazing work on these poor horses good job guys

[@lillylarochelle6228]

You are an Artist , your hands are very kind and not in a hurry .Good job .Very satisfying video ❤❤❤

[@RaeC5280]

I'm curious. With nervous horses, after you work on the first hoof and they can stand on that hoof better, are they more relaxed for the rest of the process?

[@lindav6164]

Would love to see hoof trims on ponies with laminitis . I have 5 that I work on routinely. I would love to be better -always room for improvement!

[@susanalk9483]

Wow that dear little pony had to have suffered a lot! That’s evil. And horses are so forgiving of bad human behavior. You are a kind, extremely skilled master farrier. Thank you for caring to be gentle with these neglected innocents, and give them a blessed way of life in just being able to stand and walk normally! Bless you and what you do!❤❤❤

[@wendymorrison5803]

Locating the anatony landmarks in overgrown feet is a science and an art. The way you approach these problems is considered, compassionate and effective. What anyone could want for animal care.

[@erynd2524]

It just infuriates me to see how people are so cruel to let their horses get to this point. You truly are their saving grace.

[@johnippolito2363]

I can't believe how you turned that mess into a normal hoof

[@harmonysprogress]

I will never understand why a person let's their horses hooves git like this???? If you got no money ask for help. I know ferriers who would help people out. Amazing job!!!! Bridge

[@jetfoxproductions]

dang that is a huge improvement, i bet the little guy feels so much better even after one hoof is fixed.

[@christieabarrett3219]

Fantastic job!! I wish we could've seen you do the last hoof!

[@krenwregget7667]

I know almost nothing about horses or horseshoeing but these videos are uttely fascinating.

I just don’t understand why people can abuse animals and not take care of them! Thank you so very much for helping this little guy, GOD Bless!!❤🙏

[@createwithbarbbl4125]

Your work is so impressive. This little guy will feel so good after this.

[@helenfitch3440]

Sounds silly I know but it's very relaxing watching you work on the poor little animals. You do a great job on them and I m sure the horse is happy you were the one and not one of the others you mentioned. Love from Australia and also love your work.

[@michellesmith7060]

Wow that has to feel so good 👍. I just hate to see any animal not taken care of 😢. Thanks for helping the horses that have to be so uncomfortable. 👍 and ✌️✌️❤️❤️

[@davidwayman3121]

I love watching the amazing things you y'all can do with these poor horses. I just wish you would make videos showing us y'all doin all 4 hooves instead of just 1.

[@RainebowEvee]

I learned that for dogs and a lot of other animals if their nails are overgrown, their quicks tend to grow long as well. That makes me wonder if it happens in horses too if their hooves are so neglected? Obviously the way their feet and nails/hooves are built different but just a thought...

[@infopubs]

What a drastic change in the angle of the leg! Do you think these horses get sore muscles as they adapt to the changes? Is there a time period where they are a bit slow after this kind of trimming?

[@KateandBree]

Yes, the legs get quite sore. I had to keep a large 17.2h TB mix I was rehabbing at the NFP due to a lawsuit and she was neglected for 3 months. She missed 1 trim and was all ready due for one when I left (which she missed, so 2 trims.) I was quite furious at the overgrowth and general look of her when I got her back. Yes, the horse hurts when hooves are overgrown and when the hooves are brought back down to length. The adjustment depends entirely on the horse, any previous injuries, age and general health. Some spring back fairly quickly, some will take some time for the legs to find the proper stride and some will create a vet bill before finding their stride again.

[@snowyherge1549]

Horses that live wild travel for miles every day and wear their feet naturally. Ones with bad feet tend not to survive.
