  • Today I will be shoeing a nervous horse called Chief.
    Chief and I have been working together for a decade now and whilst he has improved he still doesn't look forward to me visiting.

    I had to sit and think about why the world was so obsessed with these videos. Then it came to me. We are a technological based word now, and everything is manufactured. The art of a tradesmen who has mastered their craft is not something seen very often anymore. It looks and feels so different from the way most people live their lives.

      You are super patient…which makes perfect sense when dealing with a ‘client’ who is nervy. I’d imagine you have a decent rapport with him after shoeing him for 10 years. Thanks Sam this was really a great lesson on managing your energy and doing a great job shoeing Chief. Though mind he is a beautiful horse…so maybe he’s allowed to be a bit of a drama queen!😄

    Chief is a beautiful horse, but I think Reggie is still my favorite so far. Your voice is so calming and you really do everything that you can to make your clients comfortable throughout the shoeing. Just another testament to how good you are at your job and that you actually care for your clients and their comfort. ❤

      Horses are very sensitive, they can feel a horsefly land on their back, they can sense a humans demeanor very easily, they weigh about 1500 pounds ... they are gentle giants. A good farrier sees these horses about every 6 weeks ... you might as well be kind ... Otherwise you may not get anywhere! 😊

    Chiefs owner needs to do some serious groundwork to make your life easier😳🥴 wish every farrier was like you. Patience of a friggin saint!! My 1.5 year old was untouched when I bought him and was a nightmare feet wise but now he’s a great boy - GROUNDWORK GUYS MAKE YOUR FARRIERS LIFE EASIER😩

    • @nicolachamberlain8386
      @nicolachamberlain8386 11 дней назад

      Ground work doesn't fix all equine ills. This horse needs to be assessed by a clinical behaviourist to understand why he is performing these avoidance behaviours. The horse is worried by something or he is in pain or discomfort. I suspect that, if the cause is found out and rectified for the horse, this wonderful and sensitive handling by the farrier will be all the 'training' he needs to stand calmly whilst behind trimmed and shod.

    @SharonJones-ej9bz 19 дней назад +2

    A lot of horses are fine to pick up their feet for their owners but it’s quite different to a farrier doing it, can take a while to get them used to the grip and the length of time they need to keep their feet up. All credit to this guy he is sooo patient and kind with this horse, fantastic to see a farrier with such a great attitude

    A bit like going to the dentist! Taking hold of horses' feet is taking away their ability to flee, so to see your calm and kindness with this lovely section D (what a handsome horse!) and his reassurance is wonderful. The picture and feel of you in his mind is good - he just doesn't like the process, but you've left him with an unstressful experience for next time.

    A Northern man. No wonder I was interested, along with other reasons. Both my grandfather and father were horse whisperers. They could do anything with horses, including shoeing and blacksmithing. I didn't get to see them working, so I love seeing how its done. As my ancestors were from Lancashire, I get to hear an accent that must be in my genetic memory. I always enjoy watching a craftsman at work. The horses are a bonus. From Australia. Thanks, YT algorithm.

    Just found you and love your work and approach. I have 2ottb rescues and we have 8 other rescues of various sizes and ages. The art of what you do is sooo much from just shoeing. I have done a lot of work with ours on trust and ground work to enable shoeing in particular. It has taken us 5 different farriers and ours who is almost your twin work wise. I have 1 who is very sooky and so gentle and stands great. I had one farriers who took after him for swishing his tail at a fly... Mind U we live in Australia and it's summer. He recoiled so hard I've never seen him have a response like that. Our last ottb was on deaths door. I got her and our farrier Chris Lee saw her the next day. As we got her picked up we were told she would need to be sedated to be trimmed. Chris had as much on as this great guy. One of her back legs looked like it had almost been degloved at one point. When he did her backs he could see an attempt had been made to do them but could see evidence where she had most likely been hit with the rasp multiple times. He also knew previous owners and said he had expected worse. She loves him they all do. We have a 45yo mini with laminitis that is now galloping with the rest as he had to do so much rehab on her feet. U guys are amazing and so thankful there are farriers around like U guys

    Congratulations on your work, and Equine Psychology as well. I have seen a lot of different farriers working on Grandpa’s Percherons, and Dad’s riding and race horses. You are the only person who addresses the horse on a personal basis before the work starts. You are a rare farrier who has come to realize that in any show of strength, the human will lose. It takes longer, but you go home tired, but not bloodied, or broken.
    On to other subjects. Was the female laughter coming from the pretty boy’s owner? What, no dog to grab the trimmings?

Took two yrs before he started to relax a little and let me work without snatching his foot away. it was really nerve wrecking at first. I just knew i would get a nail in my leg or he was going to step on me eventually.
