These Hooves Smelled So Bad!!! Satisfying Hoof Restoration - Putting Shoes and Pads on Horse Hooves

[@davidkrueger2987]

thanks for explaining what thrush is. i'm not a horse guy, you have mentioned thrush before, but never gave a complete answer. i like watching your videos.

Thrush is fungal not bacterial. They are different organisms.

She is the most beautiful paint that I have ever seen!! I really wish one day I can see another one just like this in person. I totally respect and appreciate for all that you do for the horses. Thank you so much.❤😊🐴

[@Lawrence1203-f7s]

Awesome job mixed with a lot of care. You are a fantastic farrier.

[@LucillenRory]

Really good to see you work on those hooves. Just curious, but do you have to sterilise your tools after working on hooves with thrush like that? Can it be passed on to another horse or is it just from the hooves being wet for too long that it grows?

[@DeniseLucero-k6d]

You are doing an amazing job for these horses. You really seem to know exactly what you are doing, and if unsure you seek the advise from other professionals to get the job done. It shows that you truly care about each and every horse you work on. Keep up the great work! Good Farriers are hard to find 😊😊😊

[@lindag4484]

Hard work for you, a pleasure to watch for us! Thank you and I'm sure we're all looking forward to more videos!

Great job, and good explanation. My farrier mixes the copper sulphate with the dental impression material, ah you just said you do that too.

[@pollykinney5776]

I love your videos! When I was in high school, a long time ago..I went with our local farrier, as his assistant... your videos remind me of those wonderful times, but it would seem that the science and art of horseshoeing has developed far beyond what I remember! so fascinating, keep up the good work caring for those wonderful horses..

[@QuimBeeLivingstone]

Wow! I Love this video! You explain everything so well! Im not a horse gal, but ive seen my friend's horses get trimmed twice but i was too shy to ask questions or say anything 😅 im hoping to learn to ride this summer though 😊

[@ah4760]

Recently discovered your channel. Excellent work. I’m now in total awe of the generations that used horses exclusively. I imagine the tools and techniques have progressively improved over the decades?

[@miketroutman7365]

Great teaching and commentary. I liked this video. Haven’t heard from you for a while.

[@RenaObenreder]

An old time farrier gave me a tip about keeping hooves free of thrush… just drizzle an iodine solution (Betadine works nicely) on the sole occasionally & that will eliminate thrush growth. It worked like a charm… no fancy stuff needed.

[@lesliec6025]

Question: Since thrush is anaerobic, wouldn't applying the impression material, then covering the frog with a shoe cause a lack of oxygen that actually allows the thrush to continue? I have a mare, she's barefoot and has thrush and a central sulcus infection. We had a wet and miserable winter here in New England, and I've been battling her thrush for months. I can't stall her because she kicks the stall walls and has damaged her hooves before, even with stall mats on the walls, so she's in a dry lot , (its finally dry here) with free access to a run in. I use the copper granules as a dusting after her foot has been picked and then soaked for 5-10 minutes in chlorhexidine. I've tried creams (human) that treat fungal and bacterial infections pressed into the frog, then covered by the copper granules. It's taking forever to clear up! My vet said to continue the chlorhexidine soaks, but to also use Today, or Tomorrow, a mastitis treatment for cows that I haven't tried yet. What is your suggestion?

[@btcrazee1]

What a gorgeous mare!!

[@judithburke1539]

I agree with you! Her markings are amazing!

Hi , watching from Montreal , Canada 🇨🇦 , this is extremely physical work 😮😮 I see your hands which is very young and listening to the mature voice and the way you take the time to explain everything makes me think you must be over 40 yrs old based on voice but I’m sure you are much younger than that , anyways great work , I don’t know anything about horses and the trimming they need which brings me to this question , what about the wild horses since no body takes care of them , what happens when their hoof grows as shown in some videos they are under pressure and pain ??? Thanks for the videos as they are very educational for me and learn about horses too , much love from Canada 🇨🇦

[@janesawyer3495]

Wild horses maintain their hooves by moving long distances, 20 to 40 miles (30 to 60 km) a day, over rough terrains. This keeps their hooves healthy by building hard hooves that do not need shoeing and wearing down (trimming) the hoof, which prevents overgrowth.

[@katayoonforoughi2717]

Cal..are there any classroom portions of your training? or is it all OJY with your mentor? and could your explain segments of your training up to your accrediatation plz..e.g. is there a 'school' and tuition? are there unions?...are there log books of labor/jobs performed? do you need to accrue so many hours before you are licensed? lotta questions but inquiring minds would like to know..thx

Great horsie pedicure🧡

[@9kittiesmom]

I had horses at one time. I was always there for the farrier. I really liked watching them shoe my horse and also I paid them when they were finished. My farrier taught me a lot about trimming horses. He also showed me what to do if my horse loosened a shoe until he could get there to reset it.

[@bethpeters3187]

I'm just amazed at how difficult your job is. You must need alot of training to be a good ferrier incredible. Horses hooves are everything to them. .

[@pamw565]

Does having the holes from the previous nails make the hoof more prone to cracking?

Are the discoloration around the nail holes just from the metal?

So, "thrush," is, 🦠🦠 bacterial, & not, fungal? I thought it was a, yeast infection?

Is it better to shoe a horse, or are there times when it is better to let them go without?

Really depends on the horse and what they do you have to approach them as an individual

[@judygouchie9701]

[@tinastreet8509]

How much does a farrier cost not how much do you charge just an average cost for a farrier. I know Clydesdales would cost more which is reasonable average horse or a donkey what would the charge be for shooting them? And I'm mainly asking because this horse they brought them in late other horses end up with feet that are crazy. I mean it can't be because of cost every time. And you say 6 to 7 weeks average. I mean I know it can't be cheap to do horses and depending on how many horses you have because the farrier has a very hard job. And that's a job I'm very thankful for since people want to own horses knowing that it's an expensive animal to have.

It's sort of the v-shaped part near the back center of the hoof that is a softer material that's sort of like the pad of the finger, it's the horse's shocks, and it takes the weight and the rebound of the horse.
