Do Horses Need Shoes?

- Have you been wonder whether or not horses need to have shoes? Watch this video to find out!
Horses’ hooves continuously grow like our finger nails, so none of this causes any pain for the horse. During this entire process you can see that the horse is very compliant. The shoe needs to be the right size for the horse. The farrier will shape the shoe to make sure it fits properly. Then the shoe is nailed on. Farriers need to know and understand the anatomy of the hoof to make sure they do everything the right way to not cause injury to the horse. After about 6 to 8 weeks the farrier will see the horse again to remove shoes and put new ones on.

I normally send him with money to the store and he buys the shoes he likes..
+Skeptical Open-mind not all horses are that responsible.
mine is very responsible.. he never drinks b4 driving!
+Skeptical Open-mind you can lead a horse to water, but if it's not beer....

Never in my years that I would think to watch a video about why do horses need shoe but covid yet again proved me wrong the video is surprisingly interesting
My god...every six to eight weeks!? I did not know they were changed that often. This is very interesting to watch, and that horse seemed very patient.
ashleighBeeBee123 Mine are barefoot and are done every 4. :) Pretty frequent.
Sometimes, the shoes don't need to be replaced. If the horse hasn't been worked a lot and the shoes are in good shape, the farrier can remove the shoes, trim the hooves and then reset the shoes. With new nails, of course.
My guy has front shoes that have to be done every 3-4 weeks!
Kate Bryant Is he pulling a lot? Sounds like he is doing something to wear down the front shoes especially quickly.
Cool
Red Dead Redemption 2 has really led me down a rabbit hole
Ronzo same
Now I watch horse videos all day
This game improved my general knowledge about horses.
Such a beautiful animal.
Same just came from rdr2
For real man, im 40. Dont even own a horse but i like guns and Hickock45 did a video on guns from rdr2 so i went out and bought a ps4 and rdr2 because my wife says i aleady have too many guns. Now im watching horse videos for fu@$# sake.
Same
@@mr.mojorisin9999 at least with guns you don't have to feed them like you do with horse's
Why the fuck am I here? I don't even ride horses
Only you know the answer to that
I was literally watching a video on gravity before this, i don't even gravity either!
Bambu 3dx Same
I came here from a defcon talk!
Bambu 3dx I was watching a video about viking combat and a few clicks later I ended up here
Can I get my horse Jordans'?
Tryden D'Souza if the shoe fits

You gotta get em' some Timbs B) *X gon give it to ya song Intensifies*
I've been considering getting my horse some rubber shoes as he's getting older and I want to protect his legs while he's being ridden. This was nice information :)
Oh that's a good idea. Thank you :)
Happy Tails You're welcome! :)
i don't know why i searched for this but it's cool
I searched for this too lol✌️
Before you go on and say it's animal abuse - remember, it's a big strong beast, it could easily take its powerful leg away and kick the guy in the back if it were in pain.
Just look at the horse's head in the back, it's just chilling out.
Mr_spoon i dont think anyone thought it was animal abuse. Dont evem get why you would argue something that noone was arguing about
Obsidian Wolf that's not what he was saying at all
It's abusive NOT to have your horse's hooves trimmed regularly. Overgrown unbalanced hooves = needless lameness pain and suffering
Just make sure its happy and also theres this thing called tranquilizers
I wasnt planning to say anything about animal abuse., but in many cases they are numbed
Wow he really cut a lot out! I never realized how much of the hoof they cut away!
Fresh_Water right
The first layer was mostly compressed dirt.
Well the hooves do grow fast and it is wearing a horseshoe. so it's basically like wearing a thimble but it's irremovable
This video answered one of my many questions about horses, so thank u for posting it
The shoeing process is so interesting! I wasn't even aware that it was a job. Always learning new things from you, Meghan! Keep up the great videos! 😄
Thank you!
so it is basically a manicure for horses?
Lucy Nemomous yeah
If u ram nails down your nails with a hammer, then yes
@@visualdosage234 if you can’t feel it and it provides health benefits then maybe it ain’t soo bad😅
Nothin like them French tip horse shoes
@@visualdosage234 hahahahaha
"Does it hurt the horse?"
Bitch, if it did, the horse would not be that still.
+solitajre222 exactly 😁
So, what he is cutting away is that the horses hoof? Is, it basically like cutting your nails? If so, would it hurt the horse if you cut away too much?
Yes if a person didn't know what they were doing they could hurt the horse by cutting too much
Emma Highhand no they cut out the dirt it doesn't heart them and I have 7horses on my farm
Emma Highhand shoney sky presy shadow kiawa smokey splash
Happy Tails omg please reply if you do I will scream 🍪🍪🍪🍪🍪🍪🍪🍪🍪🍪🍪🍪🍪🍪🍪🍪🍪🍪🍧🍧🍧🍧🍨🍨🍨🍨🍨🍩🍩🍩🍩🍩🍩🍩🍩🍩🍩🍩🍩🐎🐎🐎🐎🐎🐎🐎🐎🐎🐎🐎🐎🐎🐎🐎🐎🐎🐎🐎🐎🐴🐴🐴🐴🐴🐴🐴🐴🐴🐕🐶🐕🐶🐕🐶🐶🐕🐶🐕🐶🐕🐶🐕🐶🐕🐺🦄🦄🦄🦄🦄🦄🦄🦄🦄🦄
Emma Highhand no it would gust change their movement
All of the horses at my barn are bare foot. My trainer likes things to be more natural. Great video! 🤓
Thank you!
Love your channel and I never even knew putting on horse shoes was so complicated!
Could you please please please do a 'daily pet care video' it would be amazing to see how long it takes you to care for your beloved pets
5:50 didn't know the nails are supposed to come out the hoof.
Jane Doe if they don't then the nails have been placed improperly and may be causing extream pain and a LOT of damage.
There's parts of this that look gruesome but the horse is acting like it's getting a pedicure.
salute to your Dad
his hands says how dedicated he is
Your channel is so supportive! Don't stop what your doing! You help everyone in need, please keep it up!
i was watching stuff about the hundred years war how the fuck did I get to horses
He never got his answer
@@gsausse8_019 i know 😔
Don't know how or why, but I'm here. And lovin it
Itz amazing how people figure out how to do all this.
Well said! My horse has navicular disease and his shoeing is extremely important to his wellbeing. He has to have his changed every 4-6 weeks.
I love your videos! KEEP SMILING!!
Thank you!
Happy Tails how old are you
Wow, this looks really hard! Your father is a hardworking fella. Give him my best.
gorgeous horse! my grandfather has a horse farm. Every now and then i go to ride them
That must be amazing to get to rid them whenever you want!
Lucky my mom doesn't allow me to ride horses
Edit- she says it doesn't have a future for me and it is to expensive
I love how ever time it cuts during editing the horses head is in a different spot.
😂😂😂
Horseshoes are like those tacky 90s fingernail piercings
Madame Red fingernail piercings?
flukeman022 Ohhhhh! You are in for a treat!! Google it!! I recently found out that people did that, and I know a lot of places where people attach metal to... Didn't think of that one, and I know about eyeball "piercings". O_o
This video is *precisely* what I needed after this 2 am ponder!
Beautiful horse!! Your channel is my favorite channel on RUclips!!
Same
Agreed, she gives such informative information. I wish more people would subscribe so they could take care of their beloved pets correctly.
Thanks guys!!

My fav RUclips Chanel
Hats off that,
you didn't install the metal mouth bits which hurts the animal like anything !!!
2:40 I sprang into a jig with a pint of ale in my hand faster than I could possibly imagine.
The man working on the horse has working man hands. Respect to him. Thanks for the video
Oh I love both you and Rainbow you know so much thank you! :)
+Sienna s 🐴❤
I am in awe of how beautiful horses are since I was a child. 🤎
When I grow up I'm going to be just like you
kara nugent I hope I will be too
That hoof trimming is so satisfying to watch.
Very interesting video. Do you replace the shoes because of the growth under it or because of the wear on the shoe ?
+Subhi S Hashwa both
I came here to know if a horseshoe hurts the horse and found the answer in the description. Great video though, very informative. Subscribed. Thanks
people asking if it painful.. let me cut your finger off and watch you stand there without movie. Jesus people if it was painful the horse would definitely react like it.
+L.p Chauhan 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Gabbie Ski
Horses can't feel it. They don't have nerves in the hood wall, so it doesn't hurt.
Kylie Adams they can feel pain in the frog of the hoof though bits that’s the only part
Chanel xxx
I know. I said they don't have nerves in the hoof wall.
Extremely pleasant to watch
theres not much chinchilla info out their, i would love to see more chinchilla stuff on ur channel
leia border collie facts I have kne
Dude, it is SOOOO satisfying watching him cut and carve the hoof .... like u know.. one of those weird things.
Thank you so much Meghan! I have always wondered this!!
Glad you enjoyed :D
Currently mind boggled how, for centuries, horses just allow us to smash pins into their hooves.
TIME TO THROW Poggers XQCL
I like your Beautiful horse. Your lucky you get this special beautiful horse and animals. I have 4 cats 2 fish and 2 dogs.
Is the shoeing process painful at all? Like the horse doesn't look stressed but it stressed me out watching it lol does the huff have a tender bit like in a car or dogs nails? Also would you be able to do more videos on goats :)
It does not hurt the horse however they do have a tender bit in the middle it triangular shaped and called the frog
This was very informative thank you! I also have the exact same gloves your dad does lol
That's alot of work. Man your father must be freaking strong.
I admire the fact that you don't use a bit, cant express that enough
Mulan, my hard working pony doesn't need shoes:) I ride her on both pavement and sand:D
like she said, not every horse needs shoes.
Brooke Horse
Heyy! Let me tell you something. Horse shoes are especially needed on pavement. Im not sure if you're kidding or not. Shoes that humans wear are made of rubber or silicone on the bottom. Take a look at your shoes on the bottom and you can see the uneven ware. What do you think happens when you walk or especially run barefooted on pavement. Your skin will get torn up and scratched also dry. Pleaase don't be stupid or ignorant. Also don't try to dispute the facts. I really hope you understand and have common sense. Whoever told you horse shoes aren't needed on pavement is an idiot. Carriage horses that walk on pavement wear rubber between the hoofs and horse shoes. Please research and stop being cruel to your horse. Just because horses can't feel the ware and tare doesn't mean it's not harmful. You should have known better lady. Smh
@@joshuaespinoza2567 if you correctly transition the horse to being on hard ground the hooves naturally harden up and will not wear down too much
hannah
Thank you. I think you're beautiful. Stay beautiful like your Rainbow ;)
@@joshuaespinoza2567 that's a strange response
That must be hard on your dads back. Excellent video!
My horse has soft feet so she has to have shoes
Lol horse muscle twitching @1:07
We need more duck and goat videos!!! :)
Rainbow is beautiful.
I dont know why but I love goats, I just like them xD.
This is not specimen goat. This is specimen horse. xD lol

Are you Muslim? Cuz that would explain a lot...

It so satisfying to watch
I was always wondering how they get shoes onto horses
Most people in my city own horses that either stay in the city corrals or on their owners property. My friend's horse is having some problems with one of her back hooves however her horse is very sassy and stubborn so only one of the farriers available can care for the horse in a comfortable setting because the other are impatient and a bit pushy. Getting the farrier to come has been proving an issue as his list fills up when he comes back from his vacations and is unable to see the horse. The horse doesn't wear horseshoes as each hoof is a very different shape from the other. Both of us are concerned for the horse's well being but there's nothing we can do in this situation.
love the irish music lol
I'm a pet expert too '_' I had over 50 pets (it's ok mostly fish!!!)I have had 2 bearded dragons 5 dogs 5 frogs 2 birds 2 hermit crabs 3 hamsters 1 turtle that's all I can think about now :/ I had about 20 fish though and a catfish also 5 crawfish (don't know how to spell it) about 10 fish and the catfish and crawfish lived outside in our pond so the crawfish bred so we had even more and the 10 gold fish were a couple inches long and lived for 10 years (because of how hey we're basically wild but we still cared for them by food and new water) but then the other 10 goldfish lived in doors, they only lived for like 3 years yet they had same amount of care but a little more frequent because there tank was smaller but we were able to remove them from the tank stress free while we cleaned it.
stories:
my catfish lived up to its name by killing and dragging birds underwater killing them.
My dog jumped into the pond to catch a vole/muskrat (can't remember) killed it and brought it inside.
I have raised/helped birds that fallen out of there nest because of there siblings in three years I helped 7 Robin's in all.( Birds have a terrible scene of smell, they only rely on sight and sound and will take them in no matter what)
we caught the crayfish at the pond 11 years ago the original 5 are still alive, they are some children.
1 hamster was a dwarf hamster named jingle bells she was grey and white with a long tail she bit me 28 times
I had another hamster named Humphrey because he looked exactly like the hamster from the book his Nickname was cuddles he never bit me
then we had another hamster Ivey who bit me 3 times she was completely grey with only pink nose and feet
the hermit crabs died because they were old we bought them when they were old :/
I doubt any of you read this whole thing.
I was lame once, then I got some Jordans and everyone thought I was cool again.
Lol funny
watching with sound off. auto captions. "my dad is inferior" oh damn, dad slam! wait, we're talking about horse shoes. inferior, inferior... a farrier! oh... OOOH!
My horses use soes
shoes
TodoAnimalYT what breed is ur horse?
Molly Mouse A very horsy one.
That looks so satisfying
monkaE
traumatized
2:46 I SEE IT D:
Interesting, always wanted to know. Like nails, makes sense. I'm glad Horses are not harmed, and wow every month and a half. I though maybe every 3 months. Cop horses probably 2-3 weeks.
smash the horseshoe.... sorry I mean SMASH THAT LIKE BUTTON!
JṒĐƗΣ ⦕MCK⦖ sure
First time I’ve ever seen something like this! amazing!
does taking off and putting on the horse shoes hurt the horse?
+Woofie Plays no, I would not support a practice that causes harm to animal.
Happy Tails oh ok,just wondering ,also I'm new to your channel :D
Woofie Plays no it doesnt hurt the horse the hoof is pretty much a giant finger nail and the metal nails put into the hoof isnt long enough nor should it be angled towards the inside of the hoof so its not painful in anyway
saneman100 make me a pair and we will see
saneman100 But in rigorous sports like eventing, horses need the traction of shoes when they gallop and jump over different kinds of terrain. Sure, there are a few barefoot eventers, and it can be done, but there are a lot of precautions that must be taken in order to do so.
Very interesting video. It seems like work to remove them and add new ones. But very fun at the same time! I can't wait to own my own horse one day. It's been my dream since a little girl.
Yes it is very hard work!
Horses
Ah, now I know why I keep getting this videos:
Dan and Phil playing My Horse Prince.
Omg. You put nails in their foot? And they run like that?
+Lardian yes if they are running on pavement it's much better for them to have shoes than to be barefoot. You wear shoes when you go out of the house. :)
Lardian Horses have hooves, which unlike our squishy feet, are hard and tough. If the nails are applied properly, the horse will not feel a thing.
It's basically just a beneficial upgrade for them.
Lardian WHAT BUT SHE CUT OUT THE INSIDR OF HER FOOT AND OW SHIT POOR HORSE
Ashsforever Think of it like cutting a fingernail, since they're actually made of the same matter. If it doesn't hurt when you cut yours, it's the same thing for the horse.
Ashsforever you don't cut your toenails??
thanks for the info. great pratical example lol. props from brazil
dear lady; Your video is good. Your speech is very fluent and excellent🍀🌹🇹🇷👌
Thanks for the video. I never knew horses actually wear shoes.
Ur father is very good!!! I've had horses all my life and are glad that u arnt one of those peonies out there who think they know it all! Because it seems like u know a thing or two about horses 😊 very happy to see that!!!
How does this not hurt the horse. Like wow this is amazing to watch
The exact same reason why it doesn't hurt you when you trim your nails
Happy Tails True. I just wonder how close their nerves are to their hooves and how does someone know how deep to trim. Imagine being the first person to try this lol.
I love your videos when I grow up I want to save all kinds of animals the first video I saw was best pets for kids
thanks for showin us dad!!
thank for sharing your beautiful video how she a horse I have a horse
I've always wanted a horse, they seem like such nice and loving animals.
99% of the time they're sweeties. Trust me I've met some asshole horses that have never been treated wrong. Spend a day with it before you buy it. 😅
He is extremely good at what he does.
Is the hooves trimming relieving for the horse? It sure looks like getting all that dirt and excess hoof feels nice.
Wait does this process hurt the horse? Sorry if I sound stupid, I'm just wondering. Thanks for answering this question, I've actually wondered about this for years now!
No, if done by someone skilled, it does not hurt them at all! :D
I ride a 10 year old Warmblood mare named Kelly and she doesn't need shoes, but she does dressage (Like level 3) and hunter jumping.
This video was oddly satisfying
All that hoof jam
I can’t wait to get my horse eek
I love horses so much
thank you very much
I love your horse its beautiful
Meghan you should do another q and a video because I see a lot of questions in the comments that seem worthy of answers
I am going to at the end of summer :)
am I the only one who thinks a horse getting horse shoes is satisfying
