Sheldon does a great job and Will (the mini) has never been sore after a trim which can happen. We are fortunate to have such a great farrier. Great video Sheldon! See you in 8 weeks.
Hey Heather! I was just getting ready to text the video url to you so you could see it!! Glad you liked it. And thanks for picking out their feet before I got there! Greatly appreciated! Thanks for letting me video the process. For anyone reading this, Heather is the pony's owner.
@@maverick_vet I found it very informative with the x-ray's and the way you explain everything it's fantastic keep up the great work and a big shout out from Ireland road harness racing the best 2 mile of free legged coloured Pacers .
So glad that you have these ponies on a strict routine with a great farrier to help them have the best quality of life possible for them with their condition. You seem like a good horse mom :)
I'm someone who always likes learning, so I found the part about the anatomy very interesting. I wouldn't mind seeing more of stuff like that in the future videos :)
Yes the anatomy and x-rays are great. Although it would be expensive a before and after xray on the same hoof would be amazing. If you find an owner with deep pockets who wants to know more.
Howdy from a fellow Washingtonian. I've since moved to Fla. But think of my ole stomping grounds everyday. I was raised on the Yakima Indian Reservation.....Yakima Vally......Granger and Sunnyside area. Lots of bird hunting and great fishing, as the Yakima river and several other smaller creeks run through the valley. Stay safe
Insomnia from Edmonton, Alberta here again. As a city girl that knows very little about horses, the anatomy info with the x-ray really helped me understand what you were talking about and why something needs to be done.
Thanks for the dialogue and the X-ray to help us visualize what's going on. My friend had a horse that foundered and the vet said to put him down but the farrier worked for over a year to help him and eventually with lots of care he was able to walk just fine. I'll always remember that.
Two farriers used to come through where I work everyday for their coffee and now I wish I would have asked them more questions about their trade. You make it seem very interesting and so cool. Thanks for the videos
NW Iowa. I have a mare that has stretched lamini on her front left. And struggle keeping that hoof in shape. I really learned a lot with the x-ray’s showing the P-3 and the wall. Just wanted to say thank you for taking time to make this and share it. Been watching some of your videos and stumbled on to this one today. Great videos. Thanks again
I really appreciated the anatomy lesson. I went down a rabbit hole of watchng hours of hoof triming videos and still had no idea what the farriers were refering too when they said a horse has laminitis. Can say I'm thoroughly addicted to the sound of the clippers chomping down on hoof walls.
You are going to be an amazing large animal veterinarian. I've been a large / small / extoics animal veterinarian technician since I was 18 and I'm 30 now. Not many people I'd say too that if you ever needed experience id be proud to work for ya, but you are most definitely one of those I'd say that too. Your passion alone is a beautiful thing to watch you share here with all, good luck in your studies please don't ever give up.
When I see the before hooves, I imagine it feels like you're walking with something in your shoe that causes pressure and pain. I bet they feel so good after you're done!
That was an absolute joy to watch Sheldon! I grew up around horses in the mountains of coastal Northern California, but never had much education on equines. I always wonder why you do each step of a hoof trim. Getting clear information with explanation that makes sense was awesome! Thank you for the work you put into making these videos. I enjoy them whole heartedly. Natalie - San Diego CA
Fabulous video--thank you! I'm trimming my laminitic pony, so your descriptions, lines that you draw, x-rays--are all extremely helpful. I'm not a professional, so all aspects of your videos are so helpful. Thank you very much for putting this out there!
Hi, just wanted to tell you that I really appreciate your videos from France and that I like it when you explain what you're doing, I think it's interesting and instructive. Anyway, continue like this, I love it.
Great information. Very helpful, I have a chronic laminitis sufferer and really appreciate your information. We live in New Zealand, have 4 horses and 2 donkey's. Thank you again and the Lord's blessing this is a real ministry he has blessed you with - he cares for his animals and their welfare.
I’ve said it elsewhere, but I’m in West “by God” Virginia and so pleased to see the thought and care which goes into what you do for these animals. We choose to take them into our care and, as such, we are obligated for their welfare. It’s plain to see that this is all no mere paycheck to you and I appreciate the theory and anatomy you’ve included.
Being able to see the x-ray was very helpful. Having those visuals for what is going on internally, really brings clarity to what and how you are trimming. Again, these videos are soooo satisfying!
Loved the anatomy explanation! I work in a stable but haven't had many chances to learn about farrier work, and you explain everything so well. Very satisfying to see the hooves looking trim and proper!
My horse is getting shoes put on her front hooves tomorrow and I keep watching your videos to see how you do it and you are amazing your videos are satisfying i have been watching your videos on and off today😭😊
I supremely appreciate the fact that you thoroughly explain. Finding farriers that take the time to educate is rare. Finding farriers that also take their time is a blessing. I've had farriers that rush and I won't work with them. I need a farrier that will bond with my horses. Thank you for working with these ponies and this owner.
Oh gosh that X-Ray looks so painful! One equestrian channel I watch mentioned that founder can be fatal. For an animal that spends basically its whole life on its feet, I can see why. Poor little guys! I’m glad you’ve got them on a routine to help them walk as comfortably as they can with this condition.
Hey, from Australia here. Just started learning to be a farrier and definitely love the video, the lines and the x-rays are a great idea, my trainer has been showing me the same things and it helps a lot!
You are my fav RUclips farrier and this might be your best video. Liked the X-ray, drawings and explanations so a layman could understand what you’re doing and why.
Im always happy and cant wait to see a new Video from you 😍 thank you so much for helping this little cupcake 🙏🏼 you are a good soul, sheldon.. And pretty amazing Video like always
@@maverick_vet ohh well 😏 sorry but it could be 😊 i found you when you had 101 follower lol.. Maybe i am!.. I looked for my first comment i did and it was a long time ago 😂
For 2 years I have been to every webinar, every website, called every farrier I know in Southern Minnesota and for the first time in 2 years, I finally understand a small portion of the anatomical design of the hoof, the whys and maybe even feel a small amount more comfortable treating this condition myself. My mini has dealt with my learning curve and we have made great strides in her wellness back from laminitis, but because of the lack of competent farriers and equine vets in my area, we went with the lesser of those evils and do the best we can with the info we can find. Not a great situation, but I so appreciate a video like this, it boosts my self esteem greatly to know we can keep heading the way we have been. Thank you again!
Hey Sheldon, I lived in Pullman for 8 years. I did love it. Your videos are my new zen. You're doing a great job. Thank you for keeping the profession of farriers alive.

Love the anatomy! I have been trimming my own horses for years and had to start shoeing mine also about a year ago, because it was so hard to get a good farrier to come out where I live. Could you please make a video on the tools you use, why, and also the difference between the quality of tools. And also how you keep your hoof knives so sharpe? Thanks so much!
In the same boat (that of absentee ferriers and subsequent self trimming). The last one we had years ago was great and taught me lessons that are still solidly in my mind, but I'm always behind the ball with our mare and wish I knew more to get her on a solid platform. You have a very pleasant way, I'd only say your videos all leave me wondering why you hadn't talked the whole time and very much wishing you had. Cheers! From East Tennesse
Learning to trim my own horses feet. Thank-you for explaining how the heels need to go back and showing the markings. I’ve watched many videos but the language you and the way you explained made it very easy to understand. Thanks for sharing.😊
Personally, I wouldn't mind if each video you posted twice. And one was you explaining what was going on and showing off the anatomy and everything, and the other video was just the horseshoeing or the nail trim.
I'm in NC and I really enjoy watching you work as well as your explanations/commentaries. It enables me to understand what and why your work changes from one animal to the next. Thank you!
Hey sheldo , just a quick question, probably has nothing to do with this mini but would you shoe a horse with a club foot similar to a laminitic horse? Since club footed will always grow lost of heel and I know banana shoes work well for those but will shoe always take heels down and nip out the toe like you do in this videos?
Haha that’s me my friend, I have a couple of severe one that no matter what I do, they still go back to the beginning, where are you from? I’m a farrier Down in San Diego Ca
"Hi my name is Sheldon" Me: "Hiiii Sheldon! My name is Kate :D". The terminology is still pretty confusing for me since I've never even ridden a horse. Maybe it would help if you compared the medical terms with things in everyday life?
Yes, loved the anatomy! Thanks for not making me feel stupid and breaking down the terminology and what is going on so well. Great that you're taking such good care of these little dudes!
It's so satisfying seeing the bottom hoof turn black to white. It just shows you that they do need trimming and it looks so satisfying watching you do it. Keep up the great work and keep the videos coming dude!
I agree your trade is completely new to me and I enjoy seeing the work being put in. That being said the it is your work and the insight of your experiences help in understanding of what's happening. Knowledge is greatly appreciated.
I found this video and it's content interesting and informative. The work you do is more than just nipping and filing, thought and anatomy of the animals foot is key to providing the animal with the care it needs. Thank you for taking the time to teach those of us who are not familiar with the care of larger animals.
Greetings from 🇨🇦 Sheldon. Some people have a natural gift for speaking and teaching. You’re good at both. Thanks for all of your back breaking work and dedication to your profession.
Thank you so much for all the detailed diagrams and trays. I'm trying to help a friend give guidance to the farrier of her 28 year old mare. This video is perfect! ❤
It's so awesome to see what you do for these horses! A horse is SO reliant on his feet and having them in good conditions helps so very much. I love the educational explaining that you add as well! Helps me to know what's going on and learn new things! THANK YOU! Also I'm from South Africa.
We starting watching age learning because of the way you explained what you were doing. The anatomy lesson was a GREAT help. I'm not a horse person but this really helps explain what the horse people I know are talking about.
Wow! Best video I have seen to help me understand how to trim a foundered horse. Also best explanation on how it all happens. The x-ray with the red lines made all the difference for me. Thanks!
The x-Rays and extra explanations are very helpful to understand what you are doing and why. I own a horse since two years and I learned a lot about hooves and horseshoeing from your videos. I live on the French riviera. Thank you!
Hi from Western Australia. I spent all day watching videos on hoof trimming and didn't find any that left me feeling satisfactorily informed until I found your excellent video. Thank you. Now I feel confident that I am caring appropriately for my two minis that struggled with laminitis a few years ago. All of the other videos made it look simple, but trimming my two is not simple. Your video showed hooves that are very similar to my horses, though the sisters are only a year apart in age (older one turns 18 this year), their hooves are very different in size and shape, one is much more difficult to trim than the other.
I am always amazed by the care and Attention you show to every animal and the pure skill you have. keep doing what your doing man amazing respect from Cardiff wales in the the U.K. 🏴🇬🇧
Great anatomy lesson with a fantastic explanation of how the coffin bone rotates due to the inflammation and break down of the laminae! You know your stuff and yes I enjoyed the x-ray etc. I'm from Westpoint Tennessee originally and now live 30 miles S. E. of Nashville. I rode from age 11 onwards and owned at least five horses over the years. You make this work look easy because you're fit and skilled! I know it's hard backbreaking work. Great job!
As a future vet who has never done trimming, this video and explanation was very helpful for getting an idea of the process that goes into the corrective trimming and a visual for how and what I need to communicate with farriers in the future. Thanks for sharing!
Really good video here. I'm not educated on equine hooves problems, But really good explanation and I will leave that up to you. The trim job looks good and clean and as long as the ponies feel better, I'm happy. I really enjoy your videos helping animals.
I really love your narrative as you work on the various issues the horses have. Farrier work has always intrigued me and love watching as my farrier works on my 22 yr old gelding. We have been dealing with a laminitis issue since March of 2019. He is insulin resistant so vet suggested change in his feed and a hoof growth supp He's sound, slim and getting his playful back. My farrier is wonderful working with him also. We are in North Dakota!
Best videos I've found. Recently rescued a horse with chronic laminitis and he's not doing so good. Hoping the only farrier in our area (we are new here) can provide a proper trim as you've shown. Have had horses for 40 years and chronic laminitis as this guy has is new to me... so thank you for your very informative and thorough videos to help educate (me) on this hoof disease... VERY helpful.
As a person who doesn't know about horses and whose English is a second language I really liked the anatomy part to get a better understanding of what you were talking about on this particular case. Thanks for the video
Yes! Please continue with the anatomy. I was searching for information on "exactly what is laminitis and what can be done for it?" Very informative. Very educational. Thank You 🙏
Hi My n ame is Dorothy and I am from Woodlake, California. I have been watching you for a couple of months and I really appreciate your teaching and the variety of animals you work with. Thank you, Dorothy

It's so awesome to see what you do for these horses! A horse is SO reliant on his feet and having them in good conditions helps so very much. I love the educational explaining that you add as well! Helps me to know what's going on and learn new things! THANK YOU! Also I'm from South Africa.
I loved the educational bit! I'm absolutely fascinated with your trade and it's so interesting to learn more about it. Watching from Sweden. 🇸🇪❤️
Glad you enjoyed it!
We starting watching age learning because of the way you explained what you were doing. The anatomy lesson was a GREAT help. I'm not a horse person but this really helps explain what the horse people I know are talking about.
You are the only Sheldon that I’ve ever heard of besides my Brother! I Love watching your videos! You’re VERY GOOD at what you do!
Love this. I love all the medical info. I’ve started watching these if I can’t fall asleep right away. They’re oddly satisfying
Wow! Best video I have seen to help me understand how to trim a foundered horse. Also best explanation on how it all happens. The x-ray with the red lines made all the difference for me. Thanks!
Glad to help
The x-Rays and extra explanations are very helpful to understand what you are doing and why. I own a horse since two years and I learned a lot about hooves and horseshoeing from your videos. I live on the French riviera. Thank you!
I like the an anatomy lesson! It always makes me happy to learn about someone's trade through the knowledge they have.
Glad you enjoy it!
Hi from Western Australia. I spent all day watching videos on hoof trimming and didn't find any that left me feeling satisfactorily informed until I found your excellent video. Thank you. Now I feel confident that I am caring appropriately for my two minis that struggled with laminitis a few years ago. All of the other videos made it look simple, but trimming my two is not simple. Your video showed hooves that are very similar to my horses, though the sisters are only a year apart in age (older one turns 18 this year), their hooves are very different in size and shape, one is much more difficult to trim than the other.
Please keep making these videos! I've been riding English for 4 years now and I still find it very interesting.
I am always amazed by the care and Attention you show to every animal and the pure skill you have. keep doing what your doing man amazing respect from Cardiff wales in the the U.K. 🏴🇬🇧
I love hearing you explain what you are doing and why. Thank you, from me in the UK.
Great anatomy lesson with a fantastic explanation of how the coffin bone rotates due to the inflammation and break down of the laminae! You know your stuff and yes I enjoyed the x-ray etc.
I'm from Westpoint Tennessee originally and now live 30 miles S. E. of Nashville.
I rode from age 11 onwards and owned at least five horses over the years.
You make this work look easy because you're fit and skilled! I know it's hard backbreaking work.
Great job!
As a future vet who has never done trimming, this video and explanation was very helpful for getting an idea of the process that goes into the corrective trimming and a visual for how and what I need to communicate with farriers in the future. Thanks for sharing!
I love all the anatomy info in your videos. My son and I watch a RUclips video as part of bedtime routine, I love when we both learn something!
So glad you could help this sweetheart 💕. You are great at your profession. So glad the owners found you💕
Anatomy is a definitive must keep. Great job of explaining the thought process behind the trimming. Greetings from South Africa.
It very informative to have you explain what you’re doing with the trim .
Really good video here. I'm not educated on equine hooves problems, But really good explanation and I will leave that up to you. The trim job looks good and clean and as long as the ponies feel better, I'm happy. I really enjoy your videos helping animals.
Glad you liked it
I really love your narrative as you work on the various issues the horses have. Farrier work has always intrigued me and love watching as my farrier works on my 22 yr old gelding. We have been dealing with a laminitis issue since March of 2019. He is insulin resistant so vet suggested change in his feed and a hoof growth supp
He's sound, slim and getting his playful back. My farrier is wonderful working with him also. We are in North Dakota!
Best videos I've found. Recently rescued a horse with chronic laminitis and he's not doing so good. Hoping the only farrier in our area (we are new here) can provide a proper trim as you've shown. Have had horses for 40 years and chronic laminitis as this guy has is new to me... so thank you for your very informative and thorough videos to help educate (me) on this hoof disease... VERY helpful.
Good luck with your new horse. Hoping for the best !
i found your channel about a month or 2 ago havent missed a video yet, i find it so relaxing watching your videos much love from NSW, Australia
I'm so glad!
As a person who doesn't know about horses and whose English is a second language I really liked the anatomy part to get a better understanding of what you were talking about on this particular case. Thanks for the video
Thank you for answering the question before I asked it. I heard the term used for a friend's horse but did not know what they were talking about.
Yes! Please continue with the anatomy. I was searching for information on "exactly what is laminitis and what can be done for it?" Very informative. Very educational. Thank You 🙏
