As a farrier myself, I've done multiple cases like this. Most of them don't fight. Pretty amazing really. But I'm sure they're already too uncomfortable to want to fight
OMG! How anyone can neglect a pony to get to that state is beyond me! Poor baby! All I can think is he is saying 'better, better, better!' after being trimmed. Thank you for sharing these! They are so satisfying to watch.
Am I weird for being a middle-aged city boy who has never been on a horse, and been on a farm three times in my LIFE, that loves these farrier videos? Keep doing what you do. It may be a living, but you all help these animals.
Not weird at all says another middle-aged city boy that's been on a farm a few times in his life, yet strangely watches more farrier and cow hoof trimming videos than anyone should haha.
I used to love watching my uncle do this, and fitting shoes. All the local kids with horses came up to his house and he'd do it for free. He wasn't a farrier, but all the old blokes knew how to take care of there horses as there were weren't many cars back in the day. RIP uncle Nev.
Rip 🌹Your uncle was one of a kind! They don’t make them like him anymore. Your uncle had a talent that most people don’t have these days! My uncle just got drunk and sang sea santies 😂😂😂 he was fun to hang around though. Kid at heart ❤️
That pony was likely sore for a while after the trim. But I'm sure he was already sore from the long feet. At least after the trim, his tendons and ligaments could relax.... no longer being strained. Good job
Horses are very tough animals when it comes to pain. If you ever seen an animal chiropractor do a video on a horse it's not immediately obvious that something is wrong, but once they make that adjustment and they shake it out they appear to be much happier afterward.
@@pbelle1971 The hoof capsule is a history lesson in the pony's life and lack of proper care. The pony foundered at some point -- very common with ponies -- and the bruising in the feet is from an old bleed. As long as the bruise is limited to the "old" tissue the farrier trims off, there's no pain for the pony.
I am absolutely APPALLED at the condition this pony is in !!I will NEVER UNDERSTAND how anyone can neglect and abuse animals!!Ty for helping this precious Pony!
You act like it was intentional... There are quite a few scenarios where this could happen and it would not be intentional... Life happens and sometimes bad stuff happens to good people or creatures
@@sharondeluca2469 my grandpa had a small farm that he took care of perfectly fine it even has some show horses he passed away and no one realized it for 8 months because he was a hermit... With people finally realized the horses were a bad shape obviously no one was there to take care of them... Should we dig up my grandpa and prosecuted? If you think something like this is black and white 100% of the time it shows you really don't have a clue how the world works.
A lot of animal "abuse" is usually the result of people who aren't mentally well and cannot even take care of themselves; are in a situation where they lack the means or resources for animal upkeep; or sometimes it has been going on for so long and gradually worsened that they don't actually realise how bad it's gotten and how it's now considered abusive it's become the norm to then. It's rarely deliberate or intentional with animals. You ask a lot of these "animal abusers" and they'll swear they love their animals and would give up the world for them! Especially hoarders. Their situation has just gotten out of hand... It's not like child/human abuse where there's usually deliberate sadistic intent.
And i'll never understand how an animal can grow something naturally that if not cared for by a human will kill/incapacitate it. I suppose it is something that only develops after being breed in captivity for thousands of years?
Been watching some shoeing videos lately and I'm constantly saddened by how many animals are neglected to such a state. It's horrible!! The tolerance of the horses is also amazing. I don't think I could sit that still for a pedicure if my toe nails were in such poor condition! Thank goodness there are still farriers out there doing the good work.
More than a trimming job, that was more like sculpting!! The hoof had lost all shape in resemblance it's former characteristics & the master farrier having no lines to follow, but must rely on his own knowledge the perimeters of the hoof wall & shape. Experience guided him true Glorious restoration & Bravo to these craftsman. The pony commendable as very well behaved, must of sensed rescue was on the way. Salute to Idaho Horseshoeing School.👌👍💖
The compassion you have is just absolutely amazing 👏 The suffering your ending to this Sweet Angel by your master craftsmanship is absolutely brilliant Well done 👏 Truly 🐎💞
Excellent job! I've seen others where the hoof is barely reshaped and there's still some tilt at the hoof as a result. This guy went ahead and sculpted a whole ass normal hoof out of all that dead nail
I can only imagine the amount of physical therapy needed after a hoof trim that has been neglected that long, the animal has probably forgotten how to walk correctly!
Got that poor pony shining like a new diamond. In the late 60s and early 70s, I lived down the street from a stable that raised Tennessee Walkers. I would hang out and watch the workers and horses after school. (5th&6th grades) I remember the farrier coming out 1 time. The horses were so well kept up that short of shoeing, he was in and out in no time. That was abusive to let that poor pony get that far.
Ооой! Боже мой! Ну нельзя же так не видеть, что творится с копытами у Ваших Дошадочек!!!! Огромное Спасибо Вам Мастер! Вы просто спасли Лошадей!! Храни Вас ГОСПОДЬ!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Poor thing! Thank God they came to help and did a great job on trimming this pony's hooves 💖💖💖🖒🍀 Some months ago I had to deal with a mule whose hooves were nearly in the same condition. The bad thing was that, due to a drought, the hooves were super dried out so that I couldn't use my knife and clippers. Also did I not have an electric saw, just a handsaw for iron/plastic. We had to make the mule lie down and had to tie her feet so she wouldn't kick, stand up or constantly move. She was so terrified. I felt really bad for her during the process, but it was necessary to do it. The result wasn't as perfect as in this video, but it was such a pleasure to see her walking well again after we finished. What made me really sad is that when I asked why they hadn't done anything way earlier, the owner said that "they hadn't seen it until some days before" 😟 Honestly, how can you NOT see that? Greetings from the Dominican Republic
We sometimes use Norvegian tar on the too tender sole due to excessive humidity or so on ... It avoids any external material to get in the sole while hardening the surfaces the hooves ... Generally vegetal oils on the external the hoof, and Norwegian tar on the sole ... In the hope it helps . Dare, care, ride safe, clean, have fun ... From France with .
As a kid, when the farrier would come to shoe our horses, I'd always hang out and watch. It amazes me all the different skills farriers need to have. I am no less fascinated now as an adult.
FABULOUS JOB... WOW!!! It's very unfortunate that this animal had to suffer, due to the neglect from it's owner! At least, now, the pony has been taken care of!!!
Absolutely huge change. I wouldn't have thought that much recovery possible from a single visit. Kind of interesting how the tools of a farrier haven't changed much in the last couple hundred years.
I have watched a few of these types of video’s, which led me to Bovine hoof trimmers, and they use Grinders to speed up the work. I wonder Why don’t farriers use the same type of tool for the rough work?
i know that the poor thing is in pain, but i'm curious. on such severely neglected hooves, are horses ever given mild sedatives to help them stay calm throughout the process? i know they aren't given enough to knock 'em out, but it seems like this would be incredibly uncomfortable and yet this horse, and others, remain so calm and still throughout the process. just amazing to me...
I read somewhere that the parts of the hoof being worked on (trimmed, peeled back etc.) don’t have any nerve endings. I could be wrong, but I think that has something to do with why the animals remain so calm. Fascinating stuff
@@ProfessionalFesso the hoof is kind of like your nails, you don't feel it being cut, but you do feel pulling and bending, which helps to imagine how uncomfortable that pony must have been and how good this guy probably is
@@630171official I was thinking more about the fact that they can literally stand with their weight balanced on the other three hooves. It can’t be comfortable, and I would think a bit more painful since now each hoof has to bear a bit more weight since the hoof being worked on clearly has to be picked up. Still skillful that they can do all of this and the horses are calm. I get so much as a hangnail and freak out lol.
Can anyone tell me how horses managed in the wild before farriers even existed? I’m just super curious about the history of this art form. It truly is an art form. Amazing job
Horses in the wild don't end up like this because their hooves naturally wear down from running around and foraging. When they're limited to pens and flat grass fields, their hooves don't wear down fast enough.
@@peoplez129 I also wonder how much domestication has led to this. I'd be super interested to see how prone to this feral horses are after a score of generations in the wild.
Same thing with dog vs wolves. Dogs need to regularly get their nails trimmed what with living sedentary lives inside homes vs wolves or working dogs that have their nails filed down naturally from running and foraging outside
I'd really love to see them get to walk around for the first time after such a wonderful transformation. At least a shot of the eyes to see the soul you've touched. Fantastic work though. I bet someone was very happy. = )
I had no idea that hoofs grow out of control if not maintained. How often should this be done routinely? Very happy this pony got a much needed pedicure. Thanks for uploading this..
Part of the problem is leaving a horse to walk on soft ground, wild horses naturally chip away their hooves on rough surfaces, but with domestic horses you generally manage the hooves during the shoeing process to prevent over growth like that, which is way more consistent / healthy than anything a wild horse would achieve. That pony was obviously neglected for quite awhile though.
Horses typically will get hoof trims every 5 to 8 weeks, depending on the health and growth pattern of the hoof of the individual horse. The goal is to keep the hooves healthy and trimmed properly so the horse can move in proper balance.
Thankfully, with horse hooves the blood vessels don’t grow down with the overgrown hoof. This means we can cut into a lot of hoof to get to where we want to get to. I would have trimmed more off than we saw. It looks scary and is scary but can be done safely.
Hooves dont function like dog claws where the longer the claw gets the longer the quick. The internal structures in a hoof exist somewhat independently to the external hoof wall. To a point. With long term growth like that you will get inflamation and bruising (the pink you noticed) and quite possibly cartilege damage and bone misalignment which is irreversible butbcan be managed with proper hoof care and orthopedic shoeing if necessary.
I don't see it often. But I've come across a few horses over the years where the blood supply wasn't as high up as it should have been.... like a dog's quick in their nails when left too long and they don't move around much. But that's pretty rare. Most cases you can trim without issue. In 22 years, I may have come across 6 cases. So not many.
@@ladyfarrier5949 I had one horse where the hoof seemed to push up rather then grow out to the sole. A mid sized mustang over 4 inches or 100mm at the toe, touch the sole and blood everywhere. That was one for the books
So if the hooves are bleeding does that mean there's an infection, or does the blood need to go back up because the hoof is used to having more room for the blood vessels? Like how a dog's nails can get too long so the quick gets too long as well
Pony is going to be VERY lame after that trim. A nessisary evil, but wouldn't be a satisfying end to video. Should be good as new in a couple or few weeks if there isn't any tendon damage from the neglect. :)

Excellent work. Horse owners need to become educated about hoof health. I’m glad you were able to offer this animal much comfort.
you don't need an education to know this is WRONG
My daughter had horses and two ponies and we boarded some horses for others. Only the ponies seemed to get hooves this overgrown and distorted.
For real the previous owners the definition of I didn’t know how to do it so I didn’t do it al all
They need to be prosecuted for animal abuse.

Do blood vessels grow further into the hoof if it's neglegted? It seems like the pinkish colour comes to light way earlier than on a normal trim
Thankfully, with horse hooves the blood vessels don’t grow down with the overgrown hoof. This means we can cut into a lot of hoof to get to where we want to get to.

Who would let this condition go for so long??? Geeeezzzzzz thank you for caring for him.
Thank you for helping that pony
*how long did it take to get such long hooves?*
A hoof takes approx one year to grow to it's normal length, from top to bottom. So for this horse, quite a while!
Excelente trabalho parabéns pelo empenho e capricho,Deus lhe retribua com prosperidade
Great job…can’t believe how patient these donkey’s are
An absolute work of art 🐴👌
This guy is doing God's work. Thanks for your service to our animal friends. ☀️👍
Nice job! But oh the sweetie will have tender feet for a while. It always makes me so angry to see hooves in this condition!!
Oh my goodness that poor thing! This man was truly a savior to that poor animal! God bless him!
Great job man!! Thank 's for doing it!!
That was awesome 👌I wish you could show us the pony walking after the trim
Pony is going to be VERY lame after that trim. A nessisary evil, but wouldn't be a satisfying end to video. Should be good as new in a couple or few weeks if there isn't any tendon damage from the neglect. :)
No me atrevo a pensar como traerá las uñas el dueño de ese animal !!! Horror!!!
