    after going to school for horses and working on a horse farm and learning so much about proper care of horses hooves from my boss who shod horses, i had the bless fortune of meeting a poor little pony with curled up hooves, the little guy was so sad he could hardly walk, i drove for over an hour home to get my tools and came back and trimmed his hooves, his sadness never changed as i trimmed away his fairy shoes he just stood there, when i finished the last foot and untied him he took off running, kicking up his hind feet in the air and jumping, i guess he was happy, 😄we all were. working on that horse farm was the best job i have ever had, i was in my late teens then and i'm 70 now, i love horses and horses can tell when they are loved.

    I see several suggestions in the comments of 'use a saw', 'use a grinder', etc., and in this case it's obvious that those were viable options. (watch to the end). However you must keep two things in mind;
    1. These are strong animals with a mind of their own. They are usually desensitized to having their hooves nipped and rasped but, mostly likely, not to having a grinder or a saw applied to them. In some cases, it is the equine's reluctance to allow their feet to be dealt with that leads to this sort of condition in the first place. As I stated in an earlier comment, Cow hoof nippers are the best way to start I have ever seen. They allow twice the leverage due to their longer handle length, allow the animal's foot to remain on the ground and allow the farrier remain out from under the animal.
    2. Grinders, and some saws you might be tempted to use, would need access to power. Often this means stretching a cord from some outlet to the the works space. Believe it or not, the movement of dealing with that cord can set off an animal. At that point you have a strong excited dancing animal, a whirling or reciprocating blade, at least two laceration-prone animals and a cord. Which is now trying to constrain all to encourage one to meet the other. In this video he resorted to a hand saw for the back feet. While this is a better option, and in this case, the animal dealt with it fine. You cannot expect that the animal will always accept new (to them) sights, sounds or sensations. Grinders, in particular, offer the animal all three.
    Just remember, you're trying to help this animal. You want to accomplish this in as safe and least stressful manner as possible. Mostly for them, but also for your farrier and yourself.

      There’s a new thing you may not have heard of. It’s called a battery. I used to work with a farrier. You put the animal in cross ties and have someone hold up the opposite leg. It came up in pain and lame from the force and twisting. If its afraid of the sound, you get it mildly sedated. He could have blindly cut into flesh this way. With hood that hard, its easy to split the hoof into the Corona using that much force. He admitted inexperience. Should have at least tried to contact someone with experience.

    Seeing a video like this, witnessing what happens when an animal’s hoof is let go for so long. It makes you realize how important it is to keep on top of it, even if other people say that cutting it hurts the animals. Well, think about it. Wouldn’t your fingers hurt when you let them grow so crazily long? And wouldn’t it feel so much better when it’s cut off? The same thing goes for our animal friends too

The way these hooves grew put a lot of stress on his heels and caused A LOT of tork on his toes when he stepped. in a well trimmed foot, a horse should be landing with its hoof flat against the ground- not toe nor heel first. However, judging by the weight on this donkeys toes, its a pretty easy deduction that hes probably landing toe first. This leads to pain when he walks, and just when he stands in general. this is also why you see spots of "old" blood or bruising in the video- from the stress put on the laminae and hoof wall from such overgrown hooves!

Very basic cleaning care should be done by the owner fairly often, and you always want to make sure you have a professional come work on them on a regular sort of schedule based on the animal’s need.

      Ally Jackson yes dogs do eat them!! But make sure you wash them before you give them to your pup, it can really hurt them and make them need a stomach pumping if not.

    If you end up getting another case like this, try using a saw blade such as you would use on PVC piping, i used one on a goat with massively overgrown hooves, because my trimmers would not cut through the hardened excess, but the pvc saw blade worked better than the metal hack saw blade.

    It's crazy to me, I've always known horses had shoes put on and that people did something to their hooves not I've never seen it. My grandparents had horses for us as kids but there was someone that took care of that kinda stuff, the only thing I ever did was bath my girl and brush her and that was with my step grandfather. Sad that here I am 43 years old and learning what happens to their poor feet of they're neglected. It breaks my heart and leaves me sad. Poor babies. He's so cute.

    • @sheririce343
      @sheririce343 3 года назад +3

      Horse owner here. Just thought I’d add that not all horses need shoes. I have a half-Arab mare who is “barefoot.” Our farrier comes every 5 or six weeks and gives her hooves a trim. They grow like our toenails so can be filed. Mine uses that device he’s got in the video to trim all around the edge and then a perfect horseshoe piece comes off. Shoes are typically used for horses only when needed because 1)costs more to shoe than barefoot trim 2)a horse can easily pull and lose a shoe, or injure itself with it 3)you’re putting holes in the hoof and hence run the risk of introducing bacteria. At our barn we generally only shoe the front because our horses are turned out together in groups and hind shoes can cause fatal damage should a horse kick (horses shod in the hind generally would be turned out alone). But shoes can also do wonders for a horse with issues like thin sole or to correct other problems. One of my friends has a horse that has wedges in its shoes to correct the angle of the hooves. He went from dead lame to perfect. Farrier work is actually incredible when done correctly, so very important, and physically hard! There’s an old saying “no feet no horse.: And it’s so gratifying to see what a difference it can make for the rescues.
