@BradfordChristianNeilBongao. He said it was blood. 😞

[@Jinnyfir]

​@@BradfordChristianNeilBongao depends on what part of the video you're asking about. 3:09, it's paint coming off from the new reciprocating saw blade. At 8:04, he explains that he hit a blood pocket due to the deformity of the hoof making it difficult to identify where everything is. 😢

No matter what has happened to that horse in the past, thank GOD he found his way to you! ❤🐎

[@terrywereb7639]

Did you ever stop to think that so eone just purchased this horse and is determined to undo his previous neglect?

[@batacumba]

@@terrywereb7639 no because the farrier clearly states elsewhere in the comments that this is not a recent rescue and the people who let the horse get this way are his current owners. He does these at a low cost in the hopes that people will bring in the horses more often.

[@cynthiacarter514]

My sentiments as well

[@cmrobert621]

My hope is the owner was reported. That was painful to watch - that poor horse.

[@thomasgriffin2326]

Is that why it didn't have shoes?

[@elandria]

The sheer neglect is criminal. The immediate relief you can give these horses just by a regular trim can never be understated.

[@raymondpetrovits2336]

As an owner of a hobby farm with only 3 horses, most people don’t realize the expense of horse ownership. Fortunately my wife and I had incomes to support and maintain our small herd. Square bale hay here in Connecticut is $8-10 a bale. We need 400 bales every season. Every 6-8 weeks the farrier comes to trim, reuse the shoes or replace $250.00. The grain, fresh water and treats add up every month. We just put up a new barn 10 years ago. So you see it’s a costly hobby to get into and maintain. Not to mention vet bills twice a year. ($75.00) just to visit your barn before any treatment. You can’t cheap out on your horses. They deserve all the care you can give. I just subscribed. Thanks for the quality and informative videos. Whimsical Wind Farm.

[@youtube-ventura]

Dude if you can't afford it, sell your horses and your farm. Don't make your horses suffer because of your miscalculation on what you can financially handle.

[@padebro2683]

@youtube-ventura You suffer from a lack of comprehension skills. The poster clearly states that he and his wife have the money to fund their little farm. He wrote only to share the fact that people get horses without knowing how expensive it is and he shared some examples. Then you barge in accusing him of being a dirt-broke animal abuser, all because you can not comprehend reading. Go back to school and try again. Meanwhile, quite commenting and showing the world how pathetic your skills are.

[@padebro2683]

​@TWay-yf5zm You're agreeing with a fool. Go back to the poster's comment and find where he says he and his wife CAN'T afford their farm...go on. What you'll find is a man saying they were financially prepared to afford their hobby farm and horses. He did a good service by listing some real costs they pay that people need to be aware of. youtube-ventura did NOT understand a word the man clearly wrote. Then YOU come along like a backwoods bobble-head UH HUH UH HUH AYUCK YUCK YUCK DATS RIGHT! I hope you're at least intelligent enough to be embarrassed and delete your comment to ventura so the nonsense isn't there for all time.

[@idahohorseshoeingschool]

Thanks for watching everyone. We charge very little to trim these neglected cases. Many of you want us to report the owners. While this seems like a good idea, it sure would keep these horses from coming to our school for help. Many owners would fear the consequences of getting help. We keep it anonymous and recommend more frequent farrier care. This helps us leave the door open for horses that need help. Please subscribe and share these videos your friends so we can keep doing this work we love! It is free for you to subscribe and it helps us and these horses so much!

[@FITZIEBLUE]

thanks for the information. We can never know the story behind a neglected horse. it's pointless to assume. What we can do to help them is support your channel.

[@adde9506]

I choose to tell myself that these are the stories of horses owned by someone who died. In the months of hospital stays and funeral arrangements and divvying up property and possessions, the family remembers to feed the horse... but it takes all that time for the non-horse people to look at the poor boy's feet and ask, "are hooves supposed to look like that?" And then it takes them a while to find someone that can help.

[@adde9506]

In six weeks, does he get some custom shoes to help rotate his bone, ligaments, and tendons back into anatomical alignment? It looks like even with the fantastic job you did getting him back on flat feet, things are still pretty out of whack. It's going to take a while for the neglect to grow out either way. I hope the owner keeps with it; I know you will.
