The only blame would be not owning up to the damage and letting the horse suffer. As you've been called in , I'm sure that farrier did his best in this case. Accidents happen to us all. Good job!
Exactly, accidents happens, there is no way everything will work smoothly and perfect all day every day! The first farrier isn’t to blame and they made sure someone better equipped to do so help the horse! It is exemplary to be able to admit ‘hey, a mistake happened and I don’t feel confident about being able to fix this alone, I need help, please?’
I'm sure it also comes down to a law (although this might not be in all states) that a farrier doesn't have a DVM license and can't work on live tissue. So if there's an open wound, a vet would need to be called in first to assess what can be done about the live tissue before a farrier can work on the hoof which is bloodless keratin. After all, if you make a mistake you don't want to hurt the animal further by trying to fix it. Horse was probably already freaked out and that's just a dangerous situation for everyone.
It's sad that the horse was injured. However. I'm glad the first farrier called upon your expertise. This was an awesome training/teaching moment. I hope your students learned a great lesson that day!
Respect to the previous farrier who made the mistake and owned up to it. Oftentimes, that takes real courage, respect and humility. As someone who almost went on to become a farrier and instead went into pipe welding, and then later into welding inspection, the best guys I know are the ones who are never too good to make a mistake and never too proud to admit it. The younger and newer guys are usually trying their best, and trying maybe a little too hard sometimes to earn their way, and earn more jobs/referrals/clients. I see so many young or new welders put in impossible situations, beyond their skills and experience, too afraid or too proud to admit they can't make that weld. It takes a LOT more skill and experience to fix a mistake, than to not make it in the first place. Also I am glad to read that you did add the other 2 bolts on the heels. Great move! Plus it also adds a little bit of stability to keep that shoe level when on hard ground, and possibly some traction. I love seeing the work done on this channel, if I can come back after this life, I would not mind being a farrier the next time around ;)
Kudos to the farrier who took responsibility for a mistake! I know from experience the pain of an injured horse and a farrier who blamed others. A very long time ago (more than 35 years) we had a horse with navicular disease. The vet recommended a farrier who could hot shoe the horse with a custom forged egg bar shoe. He also tried to correct her pigeon toed feet (the horse was over 12 at the time) by putting rounded toes and building up the inside edges. The bottom of the shoes were rounded - not flat - so it must have been like wearing balls. The only result was badly bowed tendons in both front legs which meant no more riding her (sad for so young a horse). He said the bowed tendons were not caused by his shoes, even though the vet thought it was. He made a poor decision. I think I would be less bitter about it if he had admitted it. We knew she would reach a point in her disease process where we wouldn't be able to ride her anymore, but it happened a lot earlier than it should have. She became a pasture pet for the rest of her life. She was 27 when her pain was too much to even stand.
I've had accidents trimming my 9lb cat's claws! I can only admire how farriers manage to do so much amazing work on 1,000lb animals. Accidents happen, I'm so glad there are ways to cope with them!
I nicked the quick of my rabbits claw one time, felt terrible for it and kept a very close eye on him for a few weeks, but it healed absolutely fine. Even with a thousand times doing it, accidents can happen.
Sharp tools, patients who can't always hold still, and whatever may be going on in the environment all lend themselves to accidents happening. I was standing talking quietly to my farrier when someone riding in the arena was bucked off and screamed, the horse tried to get thru the door into the isle where we were. Dogs ran to see the excitement and people yelled. A total nut house effect. Thank heaven the farrier wasn't doing anything delicate. Nobody died, got maimed or drew blood but it could have happened. Thank goodness for a farrier who sent the horse and customer for more delicate treatment and didn't just finish the job and leave.
Can we get that young lass some safety glasses? She's eye level with the sparks coming off that anvil. I'm glad she's around to see what's going on and to learn. Not trying to be critical, just hate to see her have an eye injury.
Interesting solution to the issue. I am fascinated watching craftsmen in a trade outside my own experience at work, especially in fabrication. Mine was in aircraft mechanics. I am just astounded how easy you make it look to take flat stock and form, in effect, an orthopedic horseshoe. I am loving the channel.
The ability to honestly acknowledge a mistake is one of the most honorable, admirable qualities in a person. On a different note, why not add a second bolt to keep the shoe closed? Isn’t the single closure at the tip the least optimal?
Glad there was a solution. Lucky horse to have had the benefit of your expertise. It seemed to take it very well considering the wound and the painful experience it must have had. Thanks for sharing.
I think the last farrier did a nice job. Accidents happen, you are trimming a flight animal, who might be well trained, but could still easily spook. Wish we had innovative farriery in New Zealand! Great job!
I had my horse jerk a back foot from my farrier mid knife cut an had a real thin spot on his hoof. I always feel for the farrier they try so hard to do everything they can. I think it’s awesome that they can be referred to you for this kind of care!!
The first ferrier is a real human. The accident happened and he knew where to refer the horse for higher level care. I am sure the vet sometimes has to be with the ferrier or also be a ferrier to treat some medical conditions or accidents.
It’s too bad the horse had to be injured. Glad you were able to address the need for the medication to stay put. I understand that is usually the farrier who gets injured-what with working with large animals, red hot irons, sharp instruments and the like. Thank you for the interesting videos!
Interesting! How long will this shoe need to stay on? Does the bolt pose a danger to rolling the joint out of alignment? What kind of steel to you use for your shoes? Thanx! ✌🏻🎨☕️
So i've had a question for a while. When you're removing height or length, is there ever a time where you'd need to worry about what the supporting tendons in the leg will do? I've seen some neglected hooves here where it looked like the knee was compensating and after the trim and/or shoeing wondered if the horse had to have medication as those tendons restretched or relaxed.
As was stated, things happen. Show me a Farrier who hasnt made a mistake and ill show you either a liar or someone who hasnt shod many horses. Nobody likes to see a horse in pain but, as long as its not permanent damage and can be remedied, move foreword..
@@TightwadTodd Thankfully most horse owners are pretty realistic & understand that shit happens. I was using a paring knife on a hard baked summer hoof that broke & severed a horses artery. It only made a tiny cut but it just happened to cut through the digital artery where it bifurcates at the lateral cartilage & it pissed blood. The vet had to come & "pinch" the artery off & suture it closed.I offered to pay the vet bill but the horse owner refused. I've never used a F.Dick brand knife after that, they're too brittle.
Trouble is you don't know who is good and who just thinks they are. There are a few videos I watch and they are excellent at their craft and there are some who most definately should give it away and find a new calling.

A counter sunk rivet in front with a latch in the back would have been a better idea in my opinion. Looks like a brass screw which will wear down easily and let the plate fall off plus it isn't guaranteed to keep the plate from spinning and it will be weird, throw the horse off balance, like standing and stepping on a rock constantly.
30+ years ago my friends Arab needed a metal plate like this for a puncture wound on the sole near his frog. We were all fascinated watching the shoer create something us teens had never seen before. His shoe was a keg shoe so the heel was open and it had 3 bolts to undo. Your solution is a bit easier for the owner. But the horse healed well, so it's all good.
We all make mistakes. What one does after the mistake is made is most telling of all. Glad they called for backup and that the horse will be just fine.
It would be impossible for there never to be a accident but standing up and admitting that you messed up is a really hard thing to do. Alot of people would no doubt try and hide it.
should have used recessed/flush bolt heads to the cover plate. The protruding bolt heads will create an unlevelled/uneven bearing surface for the horse.. and the increase flat surface could result in minimized traction for that particular foot.
@Idaho Horseshoeing School I have a question where do you guys get you hoof knifes and other supplies. We are have a really hard time find a good knife. Thanks!
Hey! Im always curious how hard your actually hammering the metal. On a scale of 1-10 1 being a little tap to 10 being full “get outa my way” wackage how hard do you hit it when shaping like. Around the 1:20 mark of this video?
Great video!! I love watching the art of traditional shoes verses buying prefabricated. It never fails to amaze me how creative and thoughtful expert craftsman are making custom shoes. Just wondering, what was the most difficult or crazy thing you came across?
When you make a horse shoe, do you reuse it each time (this one may be a once off given it’s unique circumstances) but in general, do you keep the same shoes or always make new ones?
my observation, put two upsets, one either side, near the back of the shoe when forging, this way the shoe wont spread, or is less likely to, when the horse loads it.
Great job, just a tip when drilling and tapping any steel use an oil or lubricant it will prevent your drill bits/taps from going dull and allow them to last longer
Was the redness blood? And is it similar to having a contusion from smashing your fingernail. Would it turn that dark blue black color? Also, it's always interesting watching you make custom shoes. 😁
Angry Indian here and just want to say good job but I would of used the " tapered headed screws then added two more in a triangular position then added a rubber gasket in the shape of the plate you just fabricated!! Just a thought but you don't want anything getting in either just the terrier or owner... All the owner would have to do is remove two bolts un tighten the third one then slide the plate and gasket out of the way pack the whole cavity with that Shmoo, then when done simply slide the plate and gasket back to it's position making sure the holes and the gasket line up, replace the two, then tighten all three!!! I don't know if you like my idea but the screws that have those beveled heads and not just a octogon headed wich might make walking for the hoarse " wonky,, so use the beveled ones and that shoe will lay flatter and " be more stable to walk in!!! God bless ya boys hope ya liked my idea, just try it I promise it'll work!!!! I'm a metal fabricator!!! God bless Mr.b

Hey guys! We decided to add a couple more bolts in the heel of the shoe to help the plate from moving. Thanks for watching.
don't wanna sound like a wiseguy, but I was just on my way to suggest that. Great job

Raw hot metal. Pinch points. No gloves. You’re a Bad Man.
Live watching these videos. Great job on the repair.
I try so hard to watch these from beginning to end, but it is so relaxing and helps me sleep.
I'm not upset with the other farrier, even pros still make mistakes. I'm just glad they caught their mistake.
Splendid workmanship.

Liked n subscribed...you have a soft caring way about you that I'm sure the horses puck up on..Well done.
These videos have helped me realize the beauty of horses’ hooves.
Accidents happen for everyone. My hope is the farrier does not allow this incident to lead to his or her departure from the profession.
Admirable the dedication and experience shown to help the animal. congratulations

Great job dude 😁🤘 and a big thumbs up to the other guy for calling in help instead of letting the horse suffer 🤘🤘🤘
That looks like a shoe from the old TV Series "Get Smart"..... You could put a phone in there.... LOL 😆
You are a very talented and passionate man ♥️ I would love to see the horses walking after you've fitted them :)
Interesting! How long will this shoe need to stay on? Does the bolt pose a danger to rolling the joint out of alignment? What kind of steel to you use for your shoes? Thanx! ✌🏻🎨☕️
The plate is only on for a few days. Just long enough to avoid the wound getting infected
no that small of a piece is no worse than them walking on rocks
Was that a baby just chillin there !!??? Omg 😳
Watching the manufacturing of the assorted shoes is highly interesting.
Man, You are Soo damn good at making them shoes. That quality right there
Nice job. I’ve only seen this one time prior. I had forgotten about it.👍👍
Outstanding work!

You are a Healer in Chief
You rolling the dice drilling in those taps
Pretty slick 🙂
Wow, mind blown
The original farrier did the right thing by getting someone who is better suited to fix his mistake and most likely saved this animals life
Ingenious
I find this shoe rather ingenious. That is great that it allows the foot to heal and get the needed medication.
CLEVER!!!
ingenious!

Love watching these quadripedicures. Don't know why.
should have used recessed/flush bolt heads to the cover plate.
The protruding bolt heads will create an unlevelled/uneven bearing surface for the horse.. and the increase flat surface could result in minimized traction for that particular foot.
cooool
That is a cool idea

I love watching the art of traditional shoes verses buying prefabricated. It never fails to amaze me how creative and thoughtful expert craftsman are making custom shoes.
Just wondering, what was the most difficult or crazy thing you came across?
Thanks
very cool, but is one bolt enough for the lid? I'm afraid it may open at any moment
When you make a horse shoe, do you reuse it each time (this one may be a once off given it’s unique circumstances) but in general, do you keep the same shoes or always make new ones?
They change when they wears them off literally
The shoes wear down, but the iron can always be reforged.
my observation, put two upsets, one either side, near the back of the shoe when forging, this way the shoe wont spread, or is less likely to, when the horse loads it.
this almost seems like it should be standard on all horses.
Accidents do happen … my husband had that happen with our daughter’s mule but we were quick to take care of it and stay on top of it.
Any updates On the horse? And how did the bolt hold up, did it remain tight after it being walked on?
Great job, just a tip when drilling and tapping any steel use an oil or lubricant it will prevent your drill bits/taps from going dull and allow them to last longer
We put a plaster bandage for some days. We dont want to burn or nailing in The acute fase.
Next time put tabs on plate and side wings on shoe. Bolt from the sides.
Was the redness blood? And is it similar to having a contusion from smashing your fingernail. Would it turn that dark blue black color?
Also, it's always interesting watching you make custom shoes.
😁
It is the equivalent of taking two much finger nail off I would imagine

What was the black medicine that you put on? Thanks
Very clever
How many different kinds of shoes do you make, and how the heck do you decide which one to use?
Where do you get these horses from? The abattoir? and hopefully not do they end up going back there?
should have put two countersunk fasteners in it
