We know everything isn’t ideal in this video. We filmed this video after a week of groundwork and we felt she was ready for this next step in training. We feel that she did great. Even well-trained horses can randomly pull back when tied or even kick their owners. That is the nature of horses. They are extremely sensitive. However, we stand behind the method 100%. Hope you watch the video and learn something!
I really appreciate when people film how is something done from the real beginning, showing everything, that's true learning process. People usually film things when a good part of the process is already done and everything is easier. So, people like me watch it and expect everything to go smooth like in the video, but it doesn't, which leads to frustrations and/or giving things up.
Having owed and been around ,handled etc. Did my own hoof trimming, gave immunizations,wormed all forms of horse care. I rode western, bareback,bridle with bits and just halters. I'm ve dealt with broke and unbroken. I owed an Arabian and a pair. I’ve also dealt with many abused animals. You don't know her history . The first thing you did wrong was that rope . You seen her reaction to your crop. Why did you keep up with the rope. First you want to gain her trust so you start by toughing and talking to her. I've only been kicked twice and both were my fault. A horse that is comfortable with you don't act like this. I also raised dogs. For thirty years I had a kennel .I had a k c registered dogs as well as mixed and my home was place where the abused and unwanted had a permanent home. I think you could learn something.
As a farrier myself I can never understand why horse owners don’t handle legs when the horse is 100kg rather than wait for it to be 500kg and think it’s now the farriers job . What’s worse is the amount of owners with horses like this that expect the farrier will also do it at no charge just because he’s shoeing two others for the client . I gave up working with horses like this a long time ago because I felt my time and expertise making the horse safer for all involved and 2nd a more sellable animal never got the recognition or financial compensation I deserved.
For teaching them as foals vs. adults: a lot of owners weren't the breeder of their horse and didn't have that option. I'm sorry you experienced clients that made things harder for you. I know I focused on getting my mare quite about her legs first-thing when I got her and it took a conversation with my first farrier thanking me for having her ready /and/ for her not being fussy for me to realize that's not the norm.
I have a 21 years old mini donkey that belonged to a farrier and now fights getting his hooves done! Defense! And I have a Rescue that was always a bit afraid like this one, but allowed it with a bit of patience. Then I had to find a new farrier because the old one quit and now he is back to panic mode. All the work to earn his trust... There are two sides to a story! It's not always owners! And I guess people like me shouldn't have horses because we are not rich enough to pay $100 for a trim! I guess I should have let these ship to slaughter, because their former owners didn't care what happened to them. Also always two sides of a story! If I had farrier like these guys maybe my horses would be OK with being trimmed. And most of them are still despite... But a farrier can make a difference in the picture too. My first one taught two spooky rescues how to trust! With patience! Now I have one of them that had such a bad experience with it that I will have to work for weeks so he may allow a rear trim! By who!? Not a lot of choices in GOOD vets or farriers around here! My fault?!
it was so amazing to watch her body language change from absolutely terrified to still unsure but so much more trusting of you. she seems like such a sweet, gentle mare!
The fact that the horse was terrified is why I think he shouldn't have tried to approach her. Seems counterproductive. Psychology for horses and humans are similar. Wait until they are calm.
Yes, along with pressure and release. Lots of release! I would have liked to have seen a bit more release and a bit less pressure in this video... but overall, good job. 👍
Great example at working together with a horse and slowly gentling them and showing them that new scary things are not necessarily scary at all, just new. That takes time and patience, for human and for the horse.
I did the "wait...if I lift my foot I get a piece of carrot?" with my heavy shire mare. But eventually, she started negociating. " if you give me the carrot first, Ill hold my feet up even better* Now I do front hooves with carrot after, and rear hooves with carrot first and we both have want we want. I dont need treats anymore, but I often do it since it puts her in a good mood when she communicates and sees that I understand her.
These are conversations I remember from my late father from the early 50’s when he was teaching me the ways of horses. As a man in my 70’s, you have reminded me of precious memories. Thank you. Jim
That was wonderful to watch .you aren't just a wonderful farrier you are very caring as well teaching the horse to co operate with you so you can look after their hooves. Well done.
Horses are incredibly sensitive creatures and it takes time, patience and a lot of gentle encouragement to train them for anything. You’re doing a wonderful job with this girl.
I thought this was very respectful of the horse. He took his cues from the horse’s body signals and (relative) relaxing at each stage. I especially liked that he stroked the horse in gentle circles rather than patting with his hand, which is not restful or reassuring for a horse at all.
I wanted to thank you all at Idaho Horseshoeing School for sharing these videos of these beautiful horses, and how you work with them, to help to train them in order to keep them healthy and happy. My GrandDad was Farrier in the Army during WWI. I enjoy watching the process of training, and how you keep their hooves healthy. God Bless your work.
Fascinating to see the process - not to rush - being calm - loving horses. I have a retired greyhound who hated having his muddy feet cleaned, I now usethe technique of running my hands down from his shoulder to his paws for the front and from his hip downwards at the back. He now leans into me as I do this and shifts his weight ready for the next foot. Works a treat.
I have watched many a farrier shoeing a horse but I never realized how much trust is needed on the part of the horse to accomplish this procedure. Thank you for this insightful demonstration! Zs
So wonderful to see this. Taking your time and being caring and understanding gives the horse the opportunity to do what you want her to do. We’ll done amazing calmness and tips. Thank you!
Thank you for sharing your gentle patient training of this horse. Sharing your knowledge will save a lot of horses with your having thus trained their owners. Masterclass education!
Awesome video, I enjoyed that immensely. Different than your regular trimming videos, but easily more important. If the horse doesn't trust you, it doesn't matter how good a trimmer you are, you'll never get that hoof done.
HOW WONDERFUL THE WAY YOU CARE FOR HER AND REASSURE HER TO HAVE A WONDERFUL EXPERIENCE THUS MAKING YOUR JOB EASIER SAFER AND ALSO PLEASANT FOR HER I RESPECT YOUR JOB GREATLY TY FOR BEING A GREAT HUMAN BEING
Lucky horse to have a patient farrier who out her have the time to figure it all.out. seen some bad rodeo s with impatient farriers. I agree so much with other comments. I handled all my baby horses from Day 1...feet. halter. Etc. Gives such a solid foundation. She did so well!!! And your patient guidance gave her a chance to figure it out❤
You show a great deal of empathy, understanding her reactions and the reasons why and show a lot positivity and patience. There's a life lesson here, and wisdom.
Fascinating to watch how humans communicate with animals, and to know we've been doing this for thousands of years. Two intelligent creatures talking to one another despite lacking a common language. A creature that could kill you with a single kick, learning to give its leg to be cared for and treated without hurting its care taker.
Horses are prey animals, I understand. A horse’s main weapon is to run away. What does a horse feel when she cannot run? The farrier understands and empathizes. Beautiful!
This is exactly what we had with a irish cob mare from Ireland. It did cost me a couple of weeks and i did it the same way. I always stayed close to her when the farrier came. In the longer run she completely trusted me and the farrier
This is an excellent video demonstrating learning for both horse and owners showing care, patience and understanding, aswell as the use of natural horsemanship. Well done.
Amazing to see her calm down in 9 minutes. My big reward was when she turned to look and I saw that pretty blaze on her pretty face! Hope you can get that hoof trimmed and comfortable soon.
Yes,, she has a very pretty face. I am a huge fan of a chestnut with a white blaze. I had a quarterhorse rescue mare for 15 years. Took 2 years to get her physical health back and 4 years for her traumas to be healed. Patience, diligence and love. It took a lot of courage on both sides. We became each other's best friends and teachers. I went into it with zero experience with horses. Was told I shouldn't even try. In the end we rode saddle and bit less. Beautiful!!!
really a nice tutorial. Quite exceptional. I would add that for the average owner the addition of a hard hat / skull cap and chest protector are prudent additions to safety
You are all so amazing! You do such an amazing and respectful job with this sensitive animals. Thank you so much for treating them so kind, with so much love! Great job!
Mind blown! What amazing progress. Living in the city, I will likely never own or interact with horses in this manner but I still love learning about it. Great video!
What a calm, lovely mare! I find that often it's much easier with a horse that's had nothing done with them, rather than ones who have had a terrible experience. I especially remember one horse who had previously been thrown and tied up to be trimmed. Because the owners weren't able to pick up any of the feet, I never did get those hinds trimmed. A horse like that seriously fights for its life when you try to take those hinds legs!
I do not know the name of this farrier but he knows what he is doing and he knows horses. His style was also calming and easy to follow. Enjoyed learning this. Well done!
This way can cause serious injuries of the horse with no chance of healing for lifetime. You can cause damage to the tendons for lifetime, dislocate vertebrae etc. if you train on hard and slippery ground. See her struggle and nearly fall minute 1:10? And why using the rope in the roundpen 0:20? No reason to pull the leg with rope. How will you remove it If the horse is in panic and keeps pulling? My wife is training several horses with bad experiences. Sorry this way you show here ist not save.
I loved her being super sensitive and alert at the beginning, her ears, and then seeing her relaxed and her needs taken care of (hopefully) was my reward ❤️ Thank you, great lesson in kindness!!! Why didn't you also talk to her, eye to eye, or you don't do it with the new horses?
I don't know more than barebones basics about horses and horsehandling, but I can see how patient, calm, and kind you are, and that's the key with any animal. Reminds me of my uncles and grandpa and how they would work with their livestock. Thank you for being such a cool guy.
I’m actually very scared of horses but I enjoy watching farrier work. I realize they are kind of like dogs with the body language - the ears and the eyes seems to be big indicators of mood. They also seem to respond well to positive reinforcement!
I use your excellent videos as part of our homeschooling lessons. Learning about the care of horses and seeing the amazing skill set that goes along with being a good Farrier is a real education! We subscribed, thank you for setting a great example for our children.
Such a gorgeous little mare. Chestnut mares seem hypersensitive compared to others. At least, mine have been. It’s like they have more nerves and higher octane adrenaline compared to “lame bay gelding #9”. As I age, I find myself more and more appreciative of “lame bay gelding #9”…
I love watching people train who have the patience that you do. I have seen some videos of folks training and they shouldn't even be allowed to own an animal!!!
She never kicked out once oh my gosh I love her and you giving her the time and not rushing her is exactly what she needs I still can't believe that she did not try to kick once when you picked up her foot even when you tapped on it oh my gosh I'm so impressed and happy for you, what a wonderful thing we had a farrier once that hit a mare right in her stomach with that big file thing she flew backwards broke the cross ties and ran up the driveway like so far it took me an hour to catch her he used to do like you know 10 or more horses a day on our farm but that was the end of it end of him at our farm anyway because you could tell he was just tired of his job and working with horses and if I had known that he was like that he never would have stepped foot on our farm we're in New Jersey, mullica Hill anyway your patience and caring and the time that you put in it's just so impressive and I may have already said this but will make all the difference in the world with these horses that you work with this man really likes you ✌🏼👍🏼 you definitely know a lot about handling horses and what they need to learn that every little thing isn't going to kill them LOL
I liked using the rope texture to show her the difference. In my experience I've not seen (or plain missed) seeing this used, and it makes all kinds of sense! Hope to be around horses again soon.
We know everything isn’t ideal in this video. We filmed this video after a week of groundwork and we felt she was ready for this next step in training. We feel that she did great.
Even well-trained horses can randomly pull back when tied or even kick their owners. That is the nature of horses. They are extremely sensitive.

Is there a reason for not using food as a reward?
Guess they don't like their owners then!

How can you know its her ?
@@TheSikerad you know what a mare is right?
The fact that the horse was terrified is why I think he shouldn't have tried to approach her. Seems counterproductive. Psychology for horses and humans are similar. Wait until they are calm.
@@TheSikerad why do you care about horse pronouns XD
It’s really great to see your care with the animals. Patience and positive reinforcement are the best teachers
Round yard & being tied up is not positive reinforcement training
@@naomipommerel8415 how do you train your horses Naomi?
Yes, along with pressure and release. Lots of release! I would have liked to have seen a bit more release and a bit less pressure in this video... but overall, good job. 👍
@@naomipommerel8415 Its the safest. you cant help the horse if your dead. you cant forget they are 10 times your weight.
@@kyliejones8827pressure and release is the opposite of positive reinforcement!
Mare: “wait … I let you lift my hoof and I get pets? SOLD!”
Really great seeing much a bit of patience and a kind hand goes in the long run! Bravo. ❤

@@submissionmachine4349 Where did you train as a farrier?
You are a very good farrier , you taught this horse well and you were so gentle with her. Good job done on this beautiful little Mare !
I loved how careful,calm and patient you were with her
Better than being kicked in the head.
That was an awesome display of patience and respect. I’m glad you protect yourself as well. Thank you for posting. Blessings to you

Just fantastic to see such a positive way of handling your horse with love and respect
What a great video demonstrating patience and care for such a frightened girl! 💚
Damm, he is not only a master Farrier but a cowboy as well. Seeing him roping that Mare with ease, just proves that he is very good with horses. 👍👍
Amazing. I love how you just take your time and realize the horse actually wants your help.
Your technique is so wonderful. Nice to see you so respectful and patient!

I loved her eyes when you went to get the rope , they looked like she was thinking 'ok what's he going to do now.'
You're so kind. Blessings to you. Thanks for this video.
I think your quiet soothing voice helps her feel comfortable also.
This is exactly what we had with a irish cob mare from Ireland. It did cost me a couple of weeks and i did it the same way. I always stayed close to her when the farrier came. In the longer run she completely trusted me and the farrier
This is an excellent video demonstrating learning for both horse and owners showing care, patience and understanding, aswell as the use of natural horsemanship. Well done.
I love these kinds of stuff. Training horses is so mind-blowing yet simple.
What an intelligent beauty! Not only did she do a great job... you are an amazing horseman. Much respect...🦋💜💜💜💜💜💜💜🦋
ABSOLUTELY AWESOME!!!! EXACTLY WHAT I DO WORKING WITH HORSES, TO CONNECT WITH THEM & BUILD TRUST SPENDING TIME WITH THEM!!
This reminded me of Steve Young horsemanship. You are showing her that you will safely lead her and she doesn't need to be fearful.
First of all, can we just appreciate that lasso catch on the first try!? Great job on the taming and touch. Wow!
Absolutely, moving target.
Who knows how many tries were edited out lol
Thank you so much. I'm new to horse ownership and I've been looking for a video just like this. Thank you, thank you!!
Amazing to see her calm down in 9 minutes. My big reward was when she turned to look and I saw that pretty blaze on her pretty face! Hope you can get that hoof trimmed and comfortable soon.

You are doing great with this beautiful but nervous 🐴 horse. thank you for caring and not forcing her.
I’ve been watching your videos and I’ve been amazed how quietly the horses stand when you pick up their feet and work on them. Just amazing!!!!
Such a great approach to reassuring a horse to trust you. She went from almost panicking to gradually trusting.
That was beautifully done! She picked up on things so quickly. I really learned a lot from watching you. Thanks a lot!
LOVE THESE VIDEOS. YOU ARE ALL SO GREAT AND CARING!
You are such a kind, understanding and knowledgeable person. What a blessing for these horses. Wow. Thank you, God!
This way can cause serious injuries of the horse with no chance of healing for lifetime.

It's amazing how fast she caught on to what you were doing with her in the stable. Despite being afraid she's got a great temperament and personality.
This mare has a beautiful conformation! Great job teaching gentle responses.
Nice demonstration of pressure and release with proper timing, rhythm, and feel.
Loved tbis episode. She's a lucky horse to have you help her through this new process . Thank you

That made me smile. Nice video to watch on a Sunday.
This was a brilliant demonstration. Thank you. ❤

bless you for your patience and kindness

She never kicked out once oh my gosh I love her and you giving her the time and not rushing her is exactly what she needs I still can't believe that she did not try to kick once when you picked up her foot even when you tapped on it oh my gosh I'm so impressed and happy for you, what a wonderful thing we had a farrier once that hit a mare right in her stomach with that big file thing she flew backwards broke the cross ties and ran up the driveway like so far it took me an hour to catch her he used to do like you know 10 or more horses a day on our farm but that was the end of it end of him at our farm anyway because you could tell he was just tired of his job and working with horses and if I had known that he was like that he never would have stepped foot on our farm we're in New Jersey, mullica Hill anyway your patience and caring and the time that you put in it's just so impressive and I may have already said this but will make all the difference in the world with these horses that you work with this man really likes you ✌🏼👍🏼 you definitely know a lot about handling horses and what they need to learn that every little thing isn't going to kill them LOL
Aww, sweet girl. Glad to see this is all about soft touches and slow introduction of new things. Bet she's got new shoes on already.
You are very gentle and very brave
😇👍👍👏👏👏
Great job, both of you. I don't know anything about horses, but i think they are wonderfull animals. I love the way you treated her. Thank you.
I liked using the rope texture to show her the difference. In my experience I've not seen (or plain missed) seeing this used, and it makes all kinds of sense! Hope to be around horses again soon.
