These Hooves Were In Terrible Condition!!! How Can People Let This Happen - Satisfying Restoration

[@marcuscarrozza732]

I believe if people can't afford to take care of an animal they shouldn't have them . I want a dog but I can't afford the vet bills, the feeding and what ever else in this messed up economic world we live in . I give as much as I can to charities to help the animals that are in need and that's the best I can do at this point. 16:02

[@gis4giraffe]

Isn’t it sad that more people are having to admit they can no longer afford to care for loved pets.our governments are really letting us down and making us their slaves while they live it up. $75 for a barefoot trim in northern AZ.

[@Mrs.TJTaylor]

Me too. I want a dog badly. I can afford it, but my community disallows fenced yards and I need to be able to open the door and let the puppers out to the backyard to stretch its legs and take a nap in the sun. Not fair otherwise, even with daily walks.

[@katesonnenberg79]

I wish more people thought the way you do.😊

[@tjdeleon13]

Ditto

[@CrimeCricket]

I agree as well. However, it's bot always so cut and dry. My parents have 2 horses, they are very old at this point, they need their teeth filed and hooves done and they can't find a single person for the job. There are very few people around here that do it and none of them have showed up when they were supposed to. To get someone further away it will cost over a grand. So it's been very difficult, they can't afford to pay that right now.

[@Mermare]

People don't realize how much care a horse requires. Thanks for the videos!

[@rebornvirgin]

taking care of my dog is a lot lol a bigger animal would be a lot of work. horses are awesome

[@ricklaurelnovotny4829]

They do but some basic care is not that terribly pricey. Yes. Some can spend mega on wormers fly sprays floats etc. but a horse can be happy and healthy w basics. I grew up in the 70's and we all didn't know about wormers etc and our horses all lived into 23-24 yrs old.. grain and nice hay- yes and love and care

[@malice6477]

I was shocked to hear they wanted to ride this horse. I hope they wait a good amount of time for these issues to be addressed. I would assume a year or so, if indeed it can be corrected completely 😢

Absolutely unbelievable that people let this go! If you can’t take care of them, sell them to someone who can and will take proper care of them! 😡 you don’t care if you let this happen! It doesn’t happen overnight.

[@gretchenchristophel1169]

I literally gasped when I saw these hoofs. Can't even imagine how uncomfortable this horse must have been. Now all the tendons and ligaments and joints have to become realigned and proper again...a process over time I would think. Thank you for your great commentary and looking forward to part 2. (BTW...I would think the hind feet would be more of a challenge...the horse's power is in the hind end. But, maybe he will figure out you're there to help him not hurt him...horses are pretty smart.)

[@lunard8690]

how did horses deal with this in nature being wild?

[@AlliWalker]

@@lunard8690 in the wild, they can walk 20+ miles a day grazing, so they wear down their hooves naturally and evenly. The horses with terrible feet end up dying young from predation or some other event.

[@kyliewalker6647]

Exactly. This always upsets me.. Hoof care is one of the most important and BASIC aspects of owning a horse. Hoof care is the same as what dental care is for humans. All horses need regular feeding, farrier-ing, and worming, so if you can't afford any one basic maintenance item, you have no business owning a horse, even if it was gifted.

[@josepharagon8259]

Also, in the wild..natural selection weeds out lots of bad genes in every aspect of an animals constitution…. Vision, hearing etc… is better an contant exercise, help maintain the health of the MUSTANGS….

[@GiselaSchlingmann]

I compare this video to those showing the trimming in the Far East ("overgrown hooves - donkeys"). I think professional farriers/trimmers and their schools are missing there, the owners of donkeys t r y t o t r i m their animals themselves. So they don`t even know the basics of grooming. These donkeys`hooves are extremely neglected in that part of the world and it is a pity that no European or US-people try to get in contact on KZbin in the Chinese (?) language so that one day those equines' suffering will end.

I have a professional farrier for my girls and love him! I do not understand why people complain about the prices for these professionals. Their overhead is very expensive. I told my farrier to break down his expenses and post them to show people he does not make a lot of money for his labor. GREAT JOB and you are appreciated!

[@ithewho6603]

​@@lifesyphon1 That is the same thing people complain about vets. What they don't understand is, vets wage isn't something to throw parties about. Considering their schooling and independent studying to their wage, it really does not pay off. All that money doesn't go to the veterinarians pocket, it goes to facility maintenance, equipments (and those cost mOnEh) and their maintenance, vet assistant wages and so on. You can't really afford mansions if you're a vet.

I prefer if you talk about each horse/case. In the first place, you have a nice speaking voice, so you're easy to listen to. Second, you see things that we are not trained to see. Third, you are holding a class out here, educating us so when we come in contact with other horse people who don't follow shows like this, we can pass on good information from listening to how you reason things. Remember, there is no such thing as too much good education. The more we know about this, and the more people in general know about this, the better off the horses will be. The goal being to flood the world with awareness through good info. So, please keep on talking for the good of all. Thanks😊

I like that you're not judgmental, I appreciate professionalism.

It's better to re home a horse, or euthanise, anythings better than having an animal neglected and starving to death, as they often die from infections/neglect. It's very sad. @@michaelwright-tu6qb

​@@ИринаРодыгина-н5вIN MY OPINION , IT'S ANIMAL ABUSE TO LET THEM GET SO LONG BECAUSE THE OWNERS SHOULD KNOW NOT TO ALLOW THEM TO BE THAT LONG IN THE FIRST PLACE .

As a farrier of 24 yes, I have found on horses like this . Make a run of just cutting excess length on every foot then go back around with final trim and clean up. This will make their legs feel better so your final work goes easier / better.

I like the way you comment too, interesting and informative

[@LizMaslin-k3c]

You are so right!! Education is so important. I was taught this as a 10 yr old kid--no hoof, no horse!! Basic hoof care is so important. My last horse, a tb trakehener cross, got trimmed and reset shoes about every 5 weeks. He was a super big moving horse who had rockers on the front and squared toes behind for early breakover. He had a bit of a thin white line and I always needed to do a trot out just to make sure we didn't have any hot nails. He had lots of hay, a little grain, and minimum of a half day's turnout year round! You take care of your horse's feet and they'll return the favor. He had rock solid perfect feet with near perfect angles because I was taught a horse needed to stand four square before you bought him. I loved my farriers and was always there to present them with super cleaned out feet, my way of being respectful of their craft. I paid boucoup bucks but it was money well worth spending. My hat's off to you guys 'cause it's a tough profession!

[@lorimclean3328]

I was taught old school, and I fully agree with you. My granddad said time and time again. No hooves, no horse. My granddad was a young man in the 30s. So hooves haven't changed. Take care of your horse top to bottom and inside and out. Don't over feed, don't under feed. It all equates to a well kept horse. Thanks for your video. I hope new horse owners learn from you

He made some errors, for example about heels. Heel is way above the ground in horses and other mammals using 4 limbs. Horses walk on hooves attached to coffin bones. Coffin bone is the last bone of toe. Thus, horses walk on tips of toes only.

[@caleberickson_The_Dying_Breed]

@robertab929 that's not actually how it works horses have a heel first landing. The hoof has 2 bones in it

[@robertab929]

@@caleberickson_The_Dying_Breed It is safer to say front and rear (back) part of hoof. "Heel" would be just at proximal end of metacarpal bone and at proximal end of metatarsal bone.

I am not a horse person but I can't imagine how someone could ignore a horse's feet. How would you like to walk around in shoes that don't fit? I'm sure it does take several trimmings to get the feet back in proper shape. Tendons/ligament are all stretched/contracted in the wrong position.

[@AhOhITzXray]

Don’t really care for the asmr aspect just want to watch as many hoof trimming videos as possible everyday. Also may not be the worst idea to invest in those power drill rasps to make the process quicker so the horses don’t have to stand as long. Just an idea.

"Without the hoof there is no horse". That was taught to me by a farrier and I believe it to this day. A farrier up to date and willing to educate clients is worth their weight in gold for the owner and the horse.

[@jeremiahmiller6431]

I think that's an important distinction for people asking how horses maintained their feet in the wild. Being domesticated hasn't really changed anything about the hoof. Wild horses with naturally good feet, and are lucky that the wear on their feet is correct and don't catch any pathologies, survive. Predators are taking care of the poor confirmation and unlucky ones. And in the end, as with every other domesticated animal, human care has considerably lengthened a horses lifespan.

[@jodymilby4317]

I think you did a wonderful job on that horse. When I got my old horse he was maybe 26, and at the age of 36 I was still riding him. He was trained in Dressage, so he knew how to bow his back rather than let it sag. And I think that's what really preserved that old man. He had foundered really bad when I got him because he was in a situation similar to what you were talking about where the owner died and then one of the adult kids just came out and he would dump a full bucket of grain "to last a few days" and he was housed with a sheep. His best friend was this sheep. And so his feet were long and he was eating a gut full of grain all the time and so he foundered. His feet were like dinner plates. And my farrier got to him, and my ferrier would always rasp on the outside of the hoof as well. His feet looked wonderful when they were done! But I always put shoes on that old man. I think that the shoes helped a great deal because they kept those feet from widening out more. Well, God bless you and I sure hope your back holds out for a while longer... your back must be miserable some days. 😥

It isn't difficult to, at the very least, pick your horses feet up once a month and give them a quick rasp and trim the frog. It only takes a few extra minutes, especially when you do it regularly. The horse will be used to it, and there won't be much to take off.

The farrier has to create a template for the hoof to follow as it grows out. This sometimes means rasping the outside of the hoof. For example, in flares. A farrier doesn’t leave them on in the hope that they will eventually fix themselves. Flares need to be removed so the hoof will stop following a faulty template.

In principle I would love to see something like this get to be a new norm... either starting with kids and education when you start to ride or show that you know the entire movement of a horse and biology... hope I explain this right, can't seem to find the right words 😅 But, Super job!! Very proud to see that knowledge IS been taught 🙌 👍😃👊

I would like some ASMR videos too, but you are totally correct about people not understanding correct hoof care! My vet teaches clientshow to do their own horses. I have a great farrier for mine. I recommend that everyone get the British Riding Society publications on the hoof and shoeing. I always give one out to people I know who are getting their first horse.

My farrier, Bill Kiner, is excellent and participates in competitions all over the USA. I consider myself fortunate that he’s so thorough and keeps my horses and donkeys in good shape. A few years ago, my husband had a couple of Percheron draft horses. Bill and his team were training to go to a competition and, utilizing their portable forge, they actually made the horses shoes and shod them while we watched in a neighbor’s barn. It was one of the most fascinating afternoons I’ve ever spent, and watching their skillful performance was a real treat. I agree with you about this poor horses hooves. They sure look like he’s foundered. What a shame. Hopefully he will recover but unfortunately he might not. Love your channel. Watching from PA, USA.

i dont understand how you can talk nice to an owner that thinks the horse i ready for riding. Its very good that you try to explain and educate owners
