Actually, under the Apron or Chaps the legs are bent more than the back, we try to keep the back from taking the downward pressure during parts of the process. Hands, forearm's, lumbar muscles calves all develop really tone. Also, if the horse is friendly doesn't really care you can take your time, it's when the horse is being bitten by deer or horse fly's that's when the horse won't stand still, so spray your horse before the Farrier arrives please. And for that matter the barn too...

Since she brought it up I have to say that the Bible doesn’t teach a works based Salvation…It teaches that Jesus’ sacrifice alone was enough to pay for the sins of the world and each of us must accept that gift in order to receive it. Repentance is necessary too but that is part of belief…when you truly see your sin and how it stands between you and a Holy God then you make a decision to turn from it. You will screw up and at times go back to sin but you do not stay in that state…when you truly trust in Jesus then the Holy Spirit resides within you from then on. Any good works we do are an effect of knowing God more and learning to be more like Him. We will never be perfect on this earth and that’s why we need Jesus’ sacrifice. I hope that clarified something for anyone reading and I’m sorry there are so many out there misrepresenting Jesus. Just remember that we are only people. If we harm or offend you, please don’t blame that on Jesus. And please go read His own Words and call out to Him for His wisdom and understanding and trust that you will receive that from Him.

Horses quickly get used to having their hooves attended to if treated well from the beginning. They can get impatient and a bit uncomfortable at times but a good farrier will never hurt a horse.

And shoeing is for preventing unnecessary damage to the hoove, from cracks to infections to make their job easier (like this time) by adding more traction.

As somebody who’s only ever seen a horse stable twice in his life, much less a whole ass ranch, it is definitely alarming at first to see you nail glowing hot metal to the foot of an animal like that. But the fact that the horse didn’t even flinch made me look it up and realize how hooves are/why shoes are still made that way… makes perfect sense, but still absolutely wild to see. My feet sure as hell wouldn’t stand up to an iron shoe straight outta the forge lol

They do feel it if you don't know what you are doing. Horse hooves have many very sensitive zones and can get damaged very easily by clipping too much off, cutting too deep into the frog, thinning out the sole too much, hitting the lamina with the nail and so on. As a 30 years+ horse person, I have the highest respect for good farriers.

Its the same stuff as your nails or hairs. It doesnt hurt to cut your nails/hairs. Nor does it to burn it. Obviously, if you put an iron on your finguernail itll hurt since your finguernails are very tin and the heat will transfer on the skin below, but the horse hooves are very thick, so the heat doesnt make it. Its the same way as wheb you iron your hairs to straighten them if you have long hairs. The temperature is well able to completely burn your flesh, but you dont feel it since your hairs are far from your head skin If the process was in any way painful or even just too inconvenient for the horse, the horse would have reacted by pulling back its leg, moving or something, which it did not do

The process of handmaking the shoe to fit so well is impressive. Question, does the nails splitting the hoof create any problems with hoof separation when the horse is applying harder stress on the shoe? I'm thinking running or pulling on concrete vs. softer ground like working in a field that would not have the impact. Curious to learn more.
@colonelkenson86192 жыл бұрын
If the shoe is well fitted there should be no problem whatever the ground they work on. They do keep in mind where and what the horses work is and shoes appropriate are used, but the principle is the same. Regular new shoeing is the most important issue, keeps feet and legs fit and therefore the horse. Old saying is No feet no horse. Hope this helps.
