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.

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.

That was so amazing to watch, and such a pleasure to see the horse being so willing and knowing new shoes were coming. that must feel so nice for the horse afterwards. 💗

Man, you do wonderful work! You could see the appreciation on the horse’s face! Thank you Sir.

[@kirstybedingfield1484]

You are incredibly skilled, years of practice no doubt, the thing that amazes me is your ability to make a shoe to fit, by eye, rather than fit the hoof to the shoe.

[@tesstess8838]

That horse loves the hooves trimming. Watching horses from this channel having their hooves done and stays calm all through out the process is very calming. Thanks you Sir.

[@DoubleDogDare54]

I've been a professional dog groomer for many years. Wish the dogs were as calm for nail trims as these horses are when a farrier works on them. Most dogs are certain they are going to die when the nail clippers come out, so watching a horse stand calmly is delightful.

[@Malaya06]

Absolutely flawless job!! So gentle and caring and topped off with skill makes for the perfect experience for both the horse and us.. Thank you..

As a city boy and one who knows nothing much at all about horses, I am amazed that the animal just stands there patiently while you work on its foot. I would have loved to have had such cooperation out of my dogs. LOL

[@cherylmillard2067]

Both take training.

[@Cruz1214.]

I think as long as the horse does not feel threatened and you dont hurt it, and with the training Cheryl said you are fine

[@napalmpig3772]

Horses are surprisingly calm considering the shoeing process. I was a farrier for 20 years in the UK and I'd say 80% of the horses I shod stood as well as this one. The most likely ones to be difficult are young horses, but if handled properly from the beginning they're fine

[@vonvielfalt]

Most dog folks don't teach their dogs to accept paw holdings and restraint in general from a young age. I've had young dogs scream and flip out when they're restrained for the first time

[@chaplainmattsanders4884]

[@bodine219]

Horses are amazing. I haven't been around them much but they *are* prey animals, and the trust it takes for any creature to hand over a hoof/foot/paw is easy to underestimate.

[@lynnehuff9659]

They are trained to have their feet handled. If you start when they are real young, it works out the best.

[@lizxu322]

Work horses are usually the humblest, quietiest and sweetest horses..poor guy needed to have had more maintenance and love shown upon him 😢❤ also dont forget to applying oil on afterwards! After sanding down the hoof the barrier is removed and allows wate to evaporate

I will say, whoever thought of this channel not only capitalized on the rising popularity of these horse hoof videos but also the blacksmithing audience well done

If you are into hooves, check out the ones on treating cattle. They aren't as compliant as horses and a whole different ballgame when it comes to foot care.

That is truly incredible, impressive, highly skilled work. I am so grateful there are people like this farrier who love and care for these beautiful creatures.

[@Kymcook73]

I know they don't feel it, but it just looks like it's painful. Such good work! The horse was so patient as well. Satisfyingly rewarding!

[@Seleuce]

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.

[@robertqueberg4612]

It can be painful immediately, or over a period of time if the trim is wrong.

[@aaronjohnson1763]

my brain still can't comprehend how a searing piece of metal doesn't hurt the horse. obviously it doesn't or the horse wouldn't have let you do it, but that's crazy to me! thank you for teaching me something new 😀

[@laurahill9643]

The part of the hoof that gets touched by the hot metal is the same material as your fingernails. As long as the heat doesn't touch the quick, it doesn't hurt at all.

[@comettts]

yup, they dont feel the hoof, kind of how we cut it like this video loll

[@salemkittie]

I'm impressed the smoke didn't alarm the horse, all heat aside

[@moblinmajorgeneral]

@@salemkittie It did seem a little curious about all the smoke, though.

[@FlorenceSlugcat]

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

[@avunculuscattusingloria4]

Horses are intelligent animals. Look at him! He knows that new horseshoes is what he wants and tolerates the whole process. I wish I were so stoic when I visit my dentist! (OK, bill is actually the painful part there). But, been a horse yet have confidence that those nails hammered into your hoof will finally help you, is really admiring. I'm sure he was very proud for his new horseshoes, he might even show-off...

This horse is getting a nice pedicure and he likes it, plus he is getting a brand new set of custom hand made shoes. Awesome job sir, two thumbs way up.

[@navyblue32]

I always wondered how people actually attached the shoes and seeing you nail straight into the hoof without hesitation gave me such a visceral reaction. I know it Dosent hurt the horse, but it’s so weird to see it’s just an uncomfy feeling. Still glad his feet are okay

[@Nyax50Lopez]

I know me too but thankfully horse shoes help domestic horses overall ^^

[@petert3355]

Have to remember one little thing. That nail is not going into the foot, it's going into the toenail. It's the same as you clipping your toenails.

[@julig5067]

It goes through the wall, or outside. A farrier knows how to place the nail shop that it doesn't quick the house and cause pain.

I'm impressed. I have never understood how a skill of a blacksmith horseshoes or when the origin of a horse needed the horseshoe with the horse's relaxed animal sense to be shoed.

[@moblinmajorgeneral]

They're usually well trained for farriers to work on them.

[@RimfireAddicted70]

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.

[@colonelkenson8619]

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.
