We need more tradesmen to take in young people to do apprenticeship jobs. Very important for the youth today to see the real work people are doing. Good to inform people about this type of work and how important it is.
I totally agree. On the flip side of that...older people should not be denied apprenticeships. I'm a 51 year old woodworker that is completely self taught. I tried getting into an apprenticeship here in Nova Scotia...I was told I'm too old! So I'll prove them wrong and learn without them
Not only that, but there's a big difference between googling things and doing them. If artisans don't teach younger people and take on apprentices, in 40 years there won't be anyone who knows how to do this properly.
Apprentice farrier jobs are like hen’s teeth. To become a farrier through the Royal Company of Farriers (which farriers have to qualify to practise) is extremely difficult as the number of apprenticeships has dropped dramatically to the degree that farriers can’t afford to take an apprentice on.
Aww, the pride and pleasure on Tom's face when Sam is talking about him and what a hardworking and committed lad he is. Such genuine respect and affection between them is lovely to see. There was a time when most teenagers went into apprenticeships instead of university, and part of a good apprenticeship was always the working relationship between older and younger people. So much more was learned about life than the work itself and I've met a few apprentices lately who love their jobs. They're learning and getting paid, and the friendly banter and laughter between them and their mentors was great to hear. I hope that more younger people are fortunate enough to get good apprenticeships like Tom's.🤞
So calming just listening to Sam working and chatting. Love the accent and the good natured commentary. Just a good wholesome time - thank you for sharing your work with these magnificent creatures.
You’ve got an incredible talent Sam. You make it look effortless, even though it’s anything but. It’s not just about your impeccable technique; it’s also clear you love and respect the horses, which deepens the connection you have with them.
I truly appreciate your patience in everything. I'm American, Mexican & love horses. The way you explain, show examples of what you're explaining, give suggestions, advise, just all you do is truly beautiful. I so pray you have a especially huge following from so many youth from not only your Nation, also from all over the world. There's much to be said about learning this trade n especially with a gifted person like yourself. May you continue n have Padre God's Blessing everywhere n with everyone. Paz be with us all 🙏. "Isa"
Yeah,what a stunner indeed !!! Beauty,power stamina,grace glamour...all of it and more,all combined in one horse...absolutely awesome that Hessle...🥰💞💥💪
It's a pleasure to watch an Artisian, a tradesman that takes pride in his craft. Loves what he does. The world needs more of these beautiful people. Amen.
Good morning Samuel! I watched last night when you were shoeing that precious horse that had special needs for her hooves & you glued those special pads on her, bless you! I have learned so much from you! You are truly a great soul ! God has certainly given you a great gift, you are certainly getting wings for Heaven, bless you Samuel 🙏❤️🩹
Fascinating. The 41 minutes just flew by. It’s not just your skill as a farrier that demands attention but the delivery of your commentary is so relaxed and engaging too. I’m thoroughly impressed.
I don't know anything about horses but these videos are fascinating and oddly calming. I agree with comments that seeing youth in this kind of work is good! Keep it up
Well done Tom, it's a very rare thing in the younger generation to have any kind of work ethic. You restore my faith in the younger generation 😊 Just remember when you're being mouthy though ,....... respect the hand that feeds you lol
I don’t know how I got here - the RUclips algorithm works in mysterious ways- but I’m so impressed with Tom for his work ethic and Sam for recognizing, valuing and nurturing him. Amazing work both of you guys, wishing you well from Germany ❤
Love how you take the time to talk us through all the different stages you go through to shoe these wonderful horses. You are a great teacher for Tom, he is learning so much from you being so hands on. A joy to watch thank you.
My half-draft mare is very similar to Fiddler. Flat feet that wear down the soles. My farrier has her in pads in the front, size 4 shoes. We're about to do the same in the back to address a negative palmar angle. My farrier is one of the most important parts of my horse's care team. Train your horse to stand for the farrier. Keep our farriers safe!🙂
I knew you'd run a marathon with your mates and belonged to a gym, but watching the strenuous routine so early in the morning was eye-opening. Especially working off the stiffness of the days before. So impressed. Love Hessel and have seen you work on him before. What a lovely horse! You seem comfortable sharing with us as well. I'm impressed even more. Thanks!
I'm always rooting for Tom in the videos- great perseverance and glad to hear he has a strong work ethic. Tom- always see what needs to be done and do it before you're asked. Really enjoy the videos and the rapport you guys have.
Your lad, Tom, is lovely.. you got a good sense of character. Good to see a youngster so interested and determined to learn a trade, and especially a farrier. You're a good teacher ... I only just come across your channel here, and I find already it's interesting and lovely watching but also listening to you, your video.. kind of mesmerising. Thanks for showing us on top of your work and tutoring Tom
Hello, here in the great state of South Carolina USA. I came up on your channel just a day or two ago and have been watching many of your posts. Very impressed with your skills, especially impressed that all of the horses so far that I have seen you do seem to like you and that says a lot. Horses know whether you respect and like them and often that really pays off especially with new clients that may not have had the best farriers along the way. I help a lot of rescues here in the states as well as the World Horse Rescue in UK and Europe. So many rescues have terrible hoof problems and also may have had terrible people messing with their feet. If all farriers were to approach the animals the way you do, there wouldn't be any horses terrified of the farrier. In the US rescues always have numbers of Belgians that the Amish communities have had working for years and some have never had the proper hoof care. So when the rescues get them, it is really quite hard to find farriers that will work on them as their feet are a true mess, and on top of that they have been mistreated in many instances. We need to clone you Sam and send those clones to help our rescues give the last years of life for these overworked mistreated Belgians a pleasant time. I am going to tell some of the rescues that I donate to to start watching your work, and perhaps they can pass along suggestion to their farriers in a nice way so as not to tic them off as after all it is darn hard to get farriers to these rescues at all! I particularly liked your education on how to remove shoes without damaging the hoof itself or as you say the tendons as well. I do give credit to the rescues that are saving the big drafts from slaughter horrors, they try to get heavy duty stocks as soon as possible through donations so that the farriers that DO accept the work will be less likely to get injured working with horses that have been mistreated in their hoof care. The staff work very hard to do training as best they can to get the big drafts familiar with the stocks so they won't be terrified or have to be so heavily sedated that they are in danger of going down in the stocks. Love it that you young helper Tom is interested and learning all he can from you, there can never be enough truly good farriers who also have a connection to the horses.
Please Google ARM located in Miami Florida to see the horror of a horse Funny Biz, illegally slaughtered for meat. He was a racehorse descended from Secretariat. ARM is fighting against the horror of slaughtering our US horses for illegal meat trade. I am shocked at the Amish for their neglect.
@@jackiemack8653. I have lived in Central Pennsylvania for over 50 years and unfortunately this is true There we’re no less than 6 big animal rescues this past spring and summer most from Amish farms They also include the notorious “puppy mills” We get a steady stream of illicit traffic from NY and NJ to transport these poor things that are then sold for thousands of dollars
Can’t understand what this darling is saying but I am mesmerized in watching his skillful procedure on these horses…..it’s like watching those guys that catch the seals to remove the fishing lines from around their necks…..😂 I never pass up watching their videos either…….and now this one…….🥰
First and foremost, I never intended to spend 41 minutes watching a video even if it’s you with your gorgeous smile and sweet voice but was so fascinated and learned so much listening to your commentary. I’ve never had horses but am an animal lover and clearly you are as well. You speak their language and they know your intentions and I find your relationship with these beautiful horses just as endearing as you are with your audience. Thank you for sharing. I’m a fan!
I know absolutely nothing about horses but have become totally addicted to this channel. The beautiful skills shown are mesmerizing, hypnotizing, relaxing, totally satisfying, and almost spiritual. I freaking love watching the interaction of the shoer with the horses. It's so amazing. I just wish I could understand the English accent better.
Try turning the CC on when you watch. It only misses a very few words. I'm partially deaf since I was a baby, so I'm pretty good at lip reading so that helps too.
Am just loving watching the horses and ponies being shod takes me back to my early teens, over 60 years ago now, when we used to go to our nearby stables to help catch them in the fields ride them bareback to the stables, good brushing, whilst they ate, manes, and clean hooves. I remember being told to hold a twitcher on one of the ponies whilst the on hand owner shod the pony, I cried, 😢. Watching you with your respect towards each one of these beauties is so calming, such a difference to that awful memory I remember. 🙂
Definitely my favourite long form so far! Hessel is SO beautiful. I’m a sucker for literal black beauty horses so I love Friesians. I particularly enjoyed you sharing how Tom became your apprentice. Especially, his quiet smile as you said all those positive comments about his attitude and work ethic. You two make a great team. The banter is gold.
We had horses when I was a child. This makes me wish I knew more about taking care of their hooves when I was young. Very educational. The scenery isn't half bad either - Hessel is magnificent, and I LOVE the name. 😂❤🎉
@@Swfarriers Could have done with you guys for my Ex racer who actually now lives out in Yorkshire. She had Navicular and box walked like crazy!!! I had no choice but to have her live out 😢
Love watching you work w each animal and am impressed how you percieve each unique horses' comfort as you work! You are a horse "therapist" who prevents illness! ❤❤
No , I’m happy with whatever you share with us . I don’t know anything about horses , never plan on having one . In these turbulent times , watching you and Tom work calms me down . Thank you .
My Dad shod our show jumping horses back in the late 60 -1970s here in New Zealand, admire your horse manship, love your accents, hear it quite oft3n here in NZ, love your channel
Very KOOL... love watching this... this job > NO joke... EMPRESSIVE. YOU all work Extremely Hard. WOW. The horse get you -- its like pampering them & they understand. Nice❤
I absolutely love your accent. I'm not a native English speaker and had a hard time understanding you at the beginning but now I got the hang of it and I absolutely love it. ❤
You’ve put your self-described OCD tendencies to excellent use! Love your explanations -personally zed for each horse. They have no idea how lucky they are.
I very much enjoy watching the horses and how well you keep them in check while doing your job. We lost our last one, a Thoroughbred, a few years back, he was 34 when he passed. Our family emigrated from North Riding Yorkshire to the United States over 135 years ago settling in Oregon. I always enjoy seeing videos produced by families from Yorkshire, wonderful commitment to their jobs and working with animals.
To say I am absolutely fascinated watching these videos is an understatement, this is such an unusual trade to do that involves such a wide range skill sets, so educational, pls make more videos, I'm running out 😂 nearly watched everyone, beautiful horses, I am mesmerised
Thanks Sam for the videos and letting us see what farrier´s job is about. I Admire your craftsmanship and the way you handle your four legged "customers", with respect. I wish you all the best in life.
Really great and informative video, thank you Sam. It really helps to understand more about our horses feet. What a legend Tom is, turning up every Saturday, well done Tom. Really looking forward to your next video Sam.
So interesting and satisfying to watch a skilled craftsman doing a traditional trade with passion and training up the next generation. Thanks for this video guys 😊
Awesome videos to learn from. I've always wanted to be a farrier, but never had the time. I'm retired military. So, now that I'm retired and came across your fantastic videos, this desire has now been resurrected. Absolutely love your videis. Very educational. Keep them coming !!
Thanks Sam, and Tom. Great video, how interesting. I can tell you are passionate about your work which is such a pleasure to see. What a fantastic farrier you are and Tom is a lucky lad to have such a great guy teaching him.
Ohhhh Hessel is a handsome and Stately beast! My Grand daughter who is 2 yrs old has her own Shetland that she rides..they were babies together and now they follow each other around endlessly with her Mama's "big girl horsies"..lol
I haven’t worked with horses since college and I miss it! But this was so wonderful to watch! Thanks for all the wonderful knowledge a very calming experience!!! 🩷
Lovely video. Tom, your tenacity to show up every week at the age of 15/16 is commendable, this ethic will enable you to go far. Well done. With stallions' growing much quicker, would you recommend the intervals to be reduced so it's not such a big job each time?
@@Swfarriers thanks for replying Sam, like me when I miss a nail appointment! Keep up the fab content and mentoring for the next generation. We need some girls to take up this trade ❤
@@racheloates6880Rachel, there are a few! There's one near me in Lancashire - but not enough, I agree. If the Worshipful Company had not been so reluctant to come up to speed with equality in the 1960s, I would've been one of the first, as I come from a long family line of farriers, my uncle wanted to take me on officially as an apprentice and I wanted to be one. He taught me such a lot at weekends and school holidays, but eventually we gave up the fight with the WCF and I moved onto a different career entirely.
Look so nice. Very exact and professionally done to perfection. Thank you for sharing.🐴 Well worth my time to see a skilled craftsman at work. So very well done.
What a great story about how you met Tom! I'm sure your encouragement of him publicly does wonders for his confidence and your friendship. I'll bet the horses can feel how close you guys are! Sam, you're a wonderful person with a big heart! The houses certainly love you!!! I'm new to your channel and can't stop watching the great job you do!!!❤️❤️❤️💯💯💯

💯 I agree.
Plus, they do great work. They have a lot of women who aren't involved with horses watching them because they're so handsome.
So calming just listening to Sam working and chatting. Love the accent and the good natured commentary. Just a good wholesome time - thank you for sharing your work with these magnificent creatures.

This’ so insightful, educational, and soothing to watch after a long day. Thank you for all the care you put into these magnificent horses!
This is actually very informative - for an American that lives in a major city, I have zero horse experience.
thanks for watching😊
I am so impressed with how you handle these young ones ❤❤❤
Love hearing the history/background of the horses & ponies you shoe. 😊
Thanks Sam for the videos and letting us see what farrier´s job is about. I Admire your craftsmanship and the way you handle your four legged "customers", with respect. I wish you all the best in life.
Really great and informative video, thank you Sam. It really helps to understand more about our horses feet. What a legend Tom is, turning up every Saturday, well done Tom. Really looking forward to your next video Sam.
I didn't realise how highly skilled farrier is.
Wow!
This is brilliant, I know nothing about farrier work but I’m fascinated.
I hope you’re both successful.
So interesting and satisfying to watch a skilled craftsman doing a traditional trade with passion and training up the next generation. Thanks for this video guys 😊
I have learned from watching this channel that a farrier is kind of like a horse podiatrist.
Awesome videos to learn from. I've always wanted to be a farrier, but never had the time. I'm retired military. So, now that I'm retired and came across your fantastic videos, this desire has now been resurrected. Absolutely love your videis. Very educational. Keep them coming !!
Sam great educational resource thanks for sharing your knowledge much appreciated. ❤ I'm watching from Gold Coast Queensland Australia

I am always so impressed when you say you take a mental picture, the level of talent and skill to all of this is quite impressive.

Always fascinating to watch the shoeing that stallion is one gorgeous boy ❤

Thanks Sam, and Tom. Great video, how interesting. I can tell you are passionate about your work which is such a pleasure to see. What a fantastic farrier you are and Tom is a lucky lad to have such a great guy teaching him.
@@GC-ny9yy thank you so much for the kind words ❤️
Ohhhh Hessel is a handsome and Stately beast! My Grand daughter who is 2 yrs old has her own Shetland that she rides..they were babies together and now they follow each other around endlessly with her Mama's "big girl horsies"..lol
❤wow what a beautiful horse and Tom is learning from the best❤
Your so good at narrating and sharing. Every horse is different. Best channel ever. 🧲
I haven’t worked with horses since college and I miss it! But this was so wonderful to watch! Thanks for all the wonderful knowledge a very calming experience!!! 🩷
You have such a good voice with the horses, they are very sensitive to it..👍🧡🌿
Wow that's a beautiful black horse
Lovely video. Tom, your tenacity to show up every week at the age of 15/16 is commendable, this ethic will enable you to go far. Well done. With stallions' growing much quicker, would you recommend the intervals to be reduced so it's not such a big job each time?
toms a legend! yeah hessel was abit over his shoeing cycle he was 8 weeks there hes better around 5-6 weeks
@@Swfarriers thanks for replying Sam, like me when I miss a nail appointment! Keep up the fab content and mentoring for the next generation. We need some girls to take up this trade ❤
@@racheloates6880Rachel, there are a few! There's one near me in Lancashire - but not enough, I agree.
If the Worshipful Company had not been so reluctant to come up to speed with equality in the 1960s, I would've been one of the first, as I come from a long family line of farriers, my uncle wanted to take me on officially as an apprentice and I wanted to be one. He taught me such a lot at weekends and school holidays, but eventually we gave up the fight with the WCF and I moved onto a different career entirely.
Look so nice. Very exact and professionally done to perfection. Thank you for sharing.🐴
Well worth my time to see a skilled craftsman at work. So very well done.
thank you!
What a great story about how you met Tom! I'm sure your encouragement of him publicly does wonders for his confidence and your friendship. I'll bet the horses can feel how close you guys are! Sam, you're a wonderful person with a big heart! The houses certainly love you!!! I'm new to your channel and can't stop watching the great job you do!!!❤️❤️❤️💯💯💯
Hi😊 you and Tom seem so kind and happy - and I'm watching you since a while that now I wish my boy to be a farrier
