Thanks for watching! Aluminum absorbs concussion better than steel which is why we choose it. Broken coffin bones need all the protection and support they can get. The mare loved the shoe!
Def looks comfortable with that shoe, not sure how she was walking before but she doesn't look a like she has foundered now, looks pretty comfortable moving
What a fantastic job you did. It’s such an amazing art! I love that the owner of the mare is standing by his horse and keeping her as comfortable as possible after finding her foundered. You see so many horses put to sleep after foundering that badly, especially if the coffin bone is badly damaged. She’s a beautiful girl and you did a beautiful job for her. Bless you.
I think Farriers are probably responsible for saving more horses from slaughter than all of the Veterinarians out there combined. I know in my area, people call the local equine Vet "the Unicorn" because while he is now a Veterinarian, he paid his way through school working as a Farrier and now in his 60s, still handles the more 'complicated' cases personally. Both of his sons are equine Vets now, and they too worked as Farriers to help pay for their schooling. I think that it is that rare combination of practical experience -- the Farrier-- combined with the expanded education as a Veterinarian that makes their practice so popular. That and the sons still go out shoeing horses and doing site Veterinary visits and only forcing people to bring their horses in when there is literally no other choice.
I started watching your channel a couple of weeks ago and the one thing I am surprised at, is that the owners don't appear to own Hoof Picks. My horse gets a quick brush and hoofs picked out before I tack him for a ride. Then on return to the stable I give him a good rubdown/hose which ever is required and then use my trusty hoof pick as often small stones etc can get embedded when out. I might add it is a matter of good manners to give your farrier basically clean hoofs.
Beautiful job! My mare foundered but didn't have a broken coffin bone. She was in alot of pain. In my case the farrier made her comfortable with the foam, some kind of flexible putty & wrapped the whole thing in duct tape. The next day she was protesting because the vet prescribed 9 lbs of hay a day. I think she must have felt better-rearing up & talking. The first thing the farrier did was back up her toe. Farriers can do alot to help horses feel more comfortable.
You are a healing artist! Thank you for helping this beautiful horse, you are a special human. And thank you for passing it on to your students so they can learn loving care.
Excellent and sympathetic work as always. My wife's niece is training to be a vet specialising in equine husbandry. I've told her to check out your videos. She is studying in Spain but has had to come to Britain and Ireland for practical experience where veterinary practice is far more common. I really think vets can learn from you.
I agree! I don’t really know why it sounds so “homey” and comforting. I grew up on a farm. No horses tho. My dad did have an Anvil and all kinds of hammers!
Well, that's the first time I've ever seen anybody forge aluminum. 🤔 If you'd have asked me if it was possible I probably would have guessed no. You learn something new every day!
That was fantastic to watch. I love seeing how comfortable the horse walked off after your shoeing her. Thanks for sharing your videos. The are always so informative.
That was very interesting to watch. I like seeing how you make a shoe to fit the particular horses need and that you explain very well what your doing. She looked like she was walking pretty well with the new shoe. I hope the bone will heal and she'll be ok. Thank you for what you do.
Looks like this horse has gone through quite a bit judging by the deep scar on the shoulder. Interesting conformation on this horse. Walks off nicely with the new supportive shoe.
Love the interest from your pupils sat around you.. You are so considerate of the horse before anything else.. which is why you are brilliant at what you do..( pupils take note🙂)
I really enjoy your running commentary. Your diction is awesome, your understanding of the process is professional. I enjoy watching you work the anvil. The horse is so gentle. He seems to think you are helping him
Excellent learning video. Also THANK YOU for you and the owner for the extra help to getting the horse health. I've watched several different videos thar show case fixing the problem and very refreshing to watch a horse getting help INSTEAD of an automatic death sentence that the the US Humane society organization does when the rescue a horse from the auction. Thank you❤
Incredible job sir, your competence, aptitude and skill are a pleasure to watch. And the awareness and gentleness for the coffin bone. Keep up the awesome work. 💪❤👍
In Korea, aluminum bar shoes are not usually made well. Buy aluminum bar shoes from the factory and put them on your horse's hooves. It's a great handmade horseshoe. I used an English translator so my English isn't perfect.
Dang, I’ve never seen aluminum forged like that before! Always so impressed by what I see here and thrilled to see others learning from you so the knowledge is being shared. Love this channel!
I am in awe how you can be so steady holding all the elements so steady on the first nail. That is secondary to how you translate a few measurements into a metal shoe that fits so perfectly. Did this horse have a shoulder injury on the same left front? The muscles looked rumpled.
After shoes? Shoes and trimming don’t hurt. Horses also hide their pain and injuries extremely well so that’s why horse owners always have to look at their horses carefully
when i was growing up, I had no idea there was such athing a FARRIER SCHOOL?????? I wish that I had known I would have TOTALLY SKIPPED COLLEGE FOR FARRIER SCHOOL!
Because some horses need different metals rather than aluminum. Some also need custom sizing. This horse also needed custom shoes in general because he had a coffin bone fracture I believe.
hey i dont want to be the guy asking for all the nitty grity but would you be able to do a tool sharpening tutorial? also, what's the legal context of a horse repossession? is there an auction for that?
Thanks for watching! Aluminum absorbs concussion better than steel which is why we choose it. Broken coffin bones need all the protection and support they can get. The mare loved the shoe!
is there a reason you use alloy bar to make the shoe and not just cut it out of a sheet.
I was just thinking, why is he using aluminum, then I looked in the comments 😂
Def looks comfortable with that shoe, not sure how she was walking before but she doesn't look a like she has foundered now, looks pretty comfortable moving
What a fantastic job you did. It’s such an amazing art! I love that the owner of the mare is standing by his horse and keeping her as comfortable as possible after finding her foundered. You see so many horses put to sleep after foundering that badly, especially if the coffin bone is badly damaged.

Is the horse in pain from the broken coffin bone?

That is brilliant. And I think you’re absolutely right about how much they do for horses
That's optimally awesome. Perfect combination.

I might add it is a matter of good manners to give your farrier basically clean hoofs.
They might stand around a bit before shoeing/trimming and collect more dirt
Thanks for your remark about being gentle with this horse’s injured foot.
You treat these beautiful animals with so much respect and love and always do such good work! This is pure joy to look at!
I always marvel at what a master you are! Thanks for helping that horse... and all the other horses, too...

Thank you for let us see how she walks on her new shoes. This seems important to me as a layman. 😅
I'm impressed!
First time seeing an aluminum shoe forged.
Use and application well explained.
Thank you.
Excellent and sympathetic work as always. My wife's niece is training to be a vet specialising in equine husbandry. I've told her to check out your videos.

Man, I never stopped being amazed watching you!!! I so enjoy this channel!! I've had horses for 30+ years now and I'm still learning!!! ✝️✝️✝️

I love the sounds of the furnace and hammers. Sometimes I think about looping it and playing it in the background.
I agree! I don’t really know why it sounds so “homey” and comforting. I grew up on a farm. No horses tho. My dad did have an Anvil and all kinds of hammers!
Another NICE job. Horse walked out so well! So glad there are farriers like you to help the suffering animals!
This reminds me of my late uncle, who wzs a farrier and a miracle worker with metal. He too spoke about making the metal grow to fit.
Well, that's the first time I've ever seen anybody forge aluminum. 🤔 If you'd have asked me if it was possible I probably would have guessed no. You learn something new every day!
Lovely work making a custom orthopedic shoe for this mare. Hope this helps her heal and recover.
Beautiful hammer work, especially with aluminium. Nice and clean with the care for the animal at the forefront of each part.
Great farrier teachers, fantastic what they teach the students. - greetings from germany (translator )
You are the best! The horse know you are helping him!

Thank you❤
Beautiful shoe‼️‼️‼️ Absolutely give this Horse well needed definition ❤️
I just love the tapping rhythm of the hammer on the anvil! You are the best!
You are an artist and a healer.❤
The Master at work! Always a pleasure. I hope this horse gets better. A real beauty.
Incredible job sir, your competence, aptitude and skill are a pleasure to watch.
And the awareness and gentleness for the coffin bone.
Keep up the awesome work. 💪❤👍
Beautiful job! That horse is appreciating that shoe!
Amazing job! I hope his hood heals soon! ❤
It's admirable the great work done by you and your team. Further, horses are so calm and gentle with you.
In Korea, aluminum bar shoes are not usually made well. Buy aluminum bar shoes from the factory and put them on your horse's hooves. It's a great handmade horseshoe. I used an English translator so my English isn't perfect.
I can understand you just fine. Thanks for sharing your experience!
Thanks!
What a huge difference. Such an improvement in this guy’s condition. Thank you for sharing.🐴
Black smithing aluminum, that is super impressive
I really enjoy your channel. Thank you.
Dang, I’ve never seen aluminum forged like that before! Always so impressed by what I see here and thrilled to see others learning from you so the knowledge is being shared. Love this channel!
wow!! y'all are amazing!! great job!
This was very interesting and well explained.Thank you for helping this horse!
I am in awe how you can be so steady holding all the elements so steady on the first nail. That is secondary to how you translate a few measurements into a metal shoe that fits so perfectly.
Did this horse have a shoulder injury on the same left front? The muscles looked rumpled.
Her muscles are in good condition; what you're seeing is a scar with a lot of scar tissue.
As always, you guys are just great, I'm sure the horses are appreciating all you do, too.
Thank you for showing us his walk after 👍
Gorgeous horse! This is one of my favorite channels. I am always so blown away at your skill and knowledge.
Very nice job
Gosh u made a lovely shoe for that horse, hope we get to see her again after she's healed 🐎
The horse really looked like she liked the shoes at the end. She walked by like oh yeah this feels good.
Hi,watching from Alabama ❤❤, it's amazing how you can make horse shoes, I enjoy watching ❤❤❤God Bless 🙌
I cringed when I head "broken coffin bone." Oh that poor horse. That has to be so painful. She looks much better with the medical shoe.
You did a really good job on that horse and I know he feels better and will recover.
Lovely horse 🥰 thanks for showing us how you work with aluminum, looks challenging to learn since it’s so soft.
Thank you for another wonderful video. I was going to ask why aluminium was used, but looks like you beat me to it. ☺️
Ann now this horse can live happily ever after!!!
exudes professional competence
Perfect 👍👍👍👌👌
Amazing work on that shoe!!! Awesome smithing techniques
I love your videos. I learn so much and enjoy watching you work. Thank you!
This blacksmith work is 😮💨🔥
WOW GLAD HE WENT TO YOU HOPE HE GETS WELL SOON 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
So clever the way they do all this, nicely done sir 👏 😊
Beautiful work, I’m sure the horse is happy not to have a heavy steel shoe
Accidenti!! Ma questo è un artista!
Can you send this to Horse Plus?
Thank you 🙏🏻
Very interesting. Thank you.
Beautiful horse 🐎 shoe ❤❤❤
Amazing job as usual!
You guys are artists.❤
Awesome work!
Beautiful work.
Brilliant work.
Great job bro,looks real good.
Another great video
NICE WORK!
I would have loved to have worked with horses 🐎 i love them and can be so poorly treated ❤
Where I am aluminum shoes are the most common; I had no idea they were any different!
That horse is wearing a fancy square toed boot 👀
Wish you were closer!
Our donkey foundered and the farrier put homemade glue shoes on him! It seems to be working.❤
That's amazing.
great job. why aluminum though? weight saving?
Aluminum absorbed concussion better than steel. Great for therapeutic purposes!
@@idahohorseshoeingschool ahh...okay...that makes sense...wasn't thinking of that...
is the founder and broken coffinbone becouse of one and another or is it just quinsidence? the other front dont seem to be that badly founderd if any?
Horsey says thanks!! Can I ask how long it takes you to make a shoe - from cutting the length to finish?
What is the horse's pain level after such a procedure? Horse walked off fine, but is it coupled with pain meds?
After shoes? Shoes and trimming don’t hurt. Horses also hide their pain and injuries extremely well so that’s why horse owners always have to look at their horses carefully
How’s the horse now ? Did she heal as expected?
I'm only 40 and i remember when a coffin bone injury or deformity was a death sentence.
Amazing skill
Very. Good. Shoe.
Can you tell if a horse feels better on the hoof shoe you made to his hoof medical needs???
when i was growing up, I had no idea there was such athing a FARRIER SCHOOL?????? I wish that I had known I would have TOTALLY SKIPPED COLLEGE FOR FARRIER SCHOOL!
Why aluminum shoe versus steel?
Is the coffin bone going to heal?
So will it heal?
Why is the horse foundered in only one hoof?
Whats a coffin bone ?
Why don't you use pre stamped Aluminum horseshoes...
Because some horses need different metals rather than aluminum. Some also need custom sizing. This horse also needed custom shoes in general because he had a coffin bone fracture I believe.
How did native Americans maintain there horses hooves?
Naturally wore then down and if they went lame probably ate them.
Also what they were walking on wasn't too-soft pastures or too-hard concrete or asphalt.
hey i dont want to be the guy asking for all the nitty grity but
would you be able to do a tool sharpening tutorial?
also, what's the legal context of a horse repossession?
is there an auction for that?
