Tendon INJURY Recovery Horseshoe

[@josephpotter5766]

Therapeutic high heels for horses, not a thing I was expecting to see today, but a thing that makes me happy to see none the less.

[@lydellb]

Watching tradesman work is like therapy. We appreciate you guys. I don't work a trade any more but it was some of the most satisfying work I had ever done.

[@43bikeguy]

I can't believe what I have just watched. A heeled horseshoe for a disabled horse. It's incredible and you are a master of your craft.

[@DigitalViscosity]

The great amount of skill required to assess, shape, and then forge to exact specs is outstanding. Good work all around

[@DigitalViscosity]

I'm really impressed at how well that weld looks.

[@FREEDUMB4ALL]

I'm not sure if I've ever been so impressed by something so out of my wheel house. This is definitely an art form that I had never really considered. Truly amazing work. I would say by the looks of the horse, it would agree. Fantastic and marvelous craftsmanship!

[@LadyhawksLairDotCom]

Dumb as it sounds, I am wondering what my life would have been like doing this work. It looks physically straining, so that's a big no because of chronic issues.

[@brandywineblue]

@@LadyhawksLairDotCom not dumb at all to wonder what it would be like to live as another person does...that is empathy. You're correct, it is a very physically demanding job, working bent over all the time....barns are not heated in winter nor air cooled in summer, except for fans...some horses can be very difficult to work with. Some will lean on the farrier instead of their other three legs. Then there's the smell of hot shoe against hoof - like the smell of burning hair x 1000. Phew!

[@laurachapin204]

This gives me an inkling of how much knowledge a farrier must have...from horse anatomy to the geometry of blacksmithing.

[@bigstar75]

You're a healer and an artist at the same time. Impressive.

[@chells88]

you can tell how much these farriers care about the horses they get in to take care of. I love watching this channel!

[@pearlluber5849]

You ferriers do such beautiful work and it is an amazing craft being a blacksmith as well. You help heal horses and also maintain their health and comfort. No wonder a horse shoe is a sign of good luck.

[@rocket5557]

There’s a lot of pretend farriers out there… this guy definitely isn’t one of those! Absolutely amazing to watch a true craftsman and professional.

[@emmaoakes4170]

No truer word said there.

This was so fascinating to watch. Your helping a animal and getting to use tools. OH THE LIFE! Much respect to you sir.

[@denisethompson3819]

I have not seen for a long time an ease shoe. But boy that is neat. The work you did on that is pretty good the animal seems comfortable and will be more so given a little more time to get used to the shoe. Lovely job man and the horse seems to have taken to it. Yes tip top. Thanks.

[@Artyshell53]

Skilled, CARING professional. KUDOS - was a joy to watch and the horse LOOKS so relieved!

[@Cat-jq2me]

But the looks of it this shoe has already relieved the horse of some of its pain. Amazing job !

[@SMcCaskill]

I can't even imagine the pain this poor horse was in before the new shoe was put on. Prayers for a quick recovery!

[@davidsonbenson9830]

Hello how are you doing

[@bettycastonia-tj2lp]

I wonder how bad the aforementioned injury was?? *Ckm

[@LadyhawksLairDotCom]

I've been watching these (sometimes more than once) and I'm hooked. It's healing and art, all in one.

[@emhoj97]

I always trust a farrier that makes their own shoes! Of course, time doesn't always allow, but learning how to at all shows a good mind and workmanship!

[@601salsa]

Fascinating... its like heel wedges in air casts for horses. Awesome and nice work.

[@susanmol3389]

WOW amazing, the time and effort you took into this horse and project is unreal nice job shows you have respect and care.

His back is probably already destroyed

[@TheNeeenha]

I would have loved to have learn this skill and craftsmanship, thought about it in my 20's. but had no money for the schooling. you do amazing work

[@SktrMasta]

To think there was a time when this horse would have been labeled as "lame," and subsequently put down. Amazing work!

[@Falconhunter276]

Still might be. Recovery from tendon injuries, for a horse, isn't always as straightforward as remedial shoeing. Extended periods of inactivity on box rest isn't conductive to a horses health or well being, let along turning them out afterwards!

[@atherisGAY]

Plenty of horses going to slaughter houses in Mexico every day for lesser issues.

[@elainehughes3454]

Went to horseshoeing school at Oklahoma state horse shoeing school on 1999. Its hard work but satisfying. Taught us how to make shoes and a whole lot more. It's really not as east as some shows. But it is rewarding.

[@jebsmith323]

Why do you bounce the hammer on the anvil now and then? And what is the grey powder you spray on? Thank you! I'm enjoying watching people ply their trade for the betterment of the animals.

[@ricoludovici2825]

He does the bouncing to reestablish his grip on the hammer. It will drift as you pound. The powder is borax. It cleans the surface of the metal as they work the shoe, which helps to make a better welding bond. It is also called blacksmithing powder.

[@jebsmith323]

@@ricoludovici2825 Thank you! I know borax. I didn't realize it was used this way. I appreciate your answering.

[@davidsonbenson9830]

WOW great job & what a difference with that horse! My horse injured both back leg tendons end of July. Dun's on paddock & mostly stall rest, hand walking with leg wraps, cold water compress, Biglioil, pain meds. He was in such pain my farrier could not even trim him. It is stressful for all. He's on the mend & getting better daily but it will be a long haul.

[@impunitythebagpuss]

Do you have to be more careful shoeing a horse with tendon injury? Can your having to handle the foot cause pain? Or would there be pain meds administered? Hope your patient recovers well. You are an artist for sure!

[@leannemcrae8132]

Never seen anything like this before. I do have a question, since one side is now higher and the other side barefoot do the horses get sore in their back or hips? Can you level it out putting a heel shoe on the other foot?

[@tracywilson1356]

That’s a good question. I’m curious too now how it will affect the horse’s hips and other leg. I know in the beginning he said the horse was going to be on stall confinement so he won’t be walking around on it. I would imagine that it is something they do take into account and will be watching for off side strain. And I’m sure a good chiropractor adjustment once the shoe is off will help line things back up.

[@Falconhunter276]

Id be shocked if a raised bar shoe this high would be used for a long period of time. There would be a lot of pressure coming down through the front of the hoof and throughout the hoof capsule into the toe. I reckon a few weeks then decrease the height of the heel with a new shoe.

[@Miss.kittty]

I hope this isn't one of those dying trades and young ones are learning these skills. I remember watching the farrier put turnbacks on a shoe for a racehorse. This is very impressive.

[@SweetlyTwisted]

Based on the fact that this is a school channel, and I've seen easily 15 different students, around my age, I think it'll be just fine

what exactly happens at 2:32 with the glowing colour of the steel? it seems like it just cooled down many degrees in the blink of an eye. the same thing happens just a second before, when he takes it from the flat part to the round one...

[@naturebehindglass6512]

The anvil absorbs a lot of the heat, so it cools down very fast

We did something similar to that years ago but we used a piece of steel tubing That was welded to the heels of the shoe

[@sacriface777]

I hope I won’t step on anyone’s toe with this question, but I would like to know why this horse didn’t get a leather pad between the shoe and the hoof? I understand this is to relieve pressure on the tendon while it’s healing, but is there no risk of having a caudal failure with such an open heel shoe that is at a steeper angle comparing to the hoof without the shoe? Also, amazing work, I am kind of an “old school” lover, and I’m glad to see you make such a high quality handmade shoe! Well done, there is immediate relief in the horse’s stance as soon as the shoe was applied!
