What kind of a person would leave an animal in distress like this? I’ll never understand it. Good on you for helping then out and relieving their pain.
As a Horse Trainer, I always enjoy watching you work. I always learn something that may help any of the horses I may work with someday. Thank you for always explaining what you're doing and why. Best Regards from a Retired Paramedic and Horse Trainer in Ontario, Canada, Jenn. 💖 🇨🇦 🇺🇲
Hi Jennifer! Thank you for the kind comment! We so appreciate the support! At the end of the day, we put out content to spread knowledge and hopefully help more horses get to feeling their best!
Great improvement. Would love to see the follows in the future. I’m sure that one will go back to work one day. Ole Red has a good team of vets and farriers behind him
Hello all at Olsen’s ✋✋✋. Brilliant informative video, what a relief this must have been for this gorgeous horse. Your knowledge and care is such a gift for the horses. Wonderful to see the improvement. Thank you for this video. Hope you are all well, stay safe, God bless 🐴🐴🐴🙏🙏🙏👏👏👏❤️❤️❤️🐴🐴🐴
Horse feet are so interesting and complicated. Really love seeing your approach and how it's informed by your experience. Hope you can get this horse pain free.
I love your videos because you explain so much about the anatomical issues and how they are impacting the horse and why the trimming/,shoeing is helping. I also appreciate that you sometimes explain that shoes are necessary but not always permanent. So many people are anti shoes and they don't realize that they can be a great tool to rehabbing a foot..... plus as you have explained in the past that sometimes a horses problems require shoes to give him the most comfort and longevity of hoof health
Hi Deb! We want to spread as much knowledge as we can! Asking questions is such a good way to help educate everyone in horses and we love the curiosity! Thank you so much! We appreciate the support!
I went to horse shoeing school years ago to learn more. I already knew how to shoe and trim because of working as an apprentice. To this day I’m amazed at all the man made terms used to describe a certain hoof capsule or lameness. It’s really quite a fraternity.
When you have a mystery lameness that isn't easy to pinpoint, you have to check your bases! Since this horse was reactive to hoof testers, we wanted to protect the whole hoof without losing frog support!
My horse want lame last week just like the horse in the video Had the vet come out and she block the nerve in the hoof, and he went sound. Hess getting x-rays Monday to see what's costing his heel pain. hoping he gets better
I had a farrier who took my horses shoes off, tried to let her go barefoot. It ended up being a nightmare. He then came back and put shoes back on her, and her feet were very sore and bruised. He quicked her, and she exploded. Poor girl, it was horrible. Now she is scared of the farrier, and I don't use him anymore. He was awful! I wish I could have you do my horses feet. You are awesome.
Hi Cheri! Were sorry you had a bad experience with a shoer! It can be hard to watch your horses struggle! Hope she is feeling better, and starts to learn the farrier is not supposed to be a bad thing!
I have a question. After you twist the end of the nail off, where does that end piece go? Are you holding them in your hand? Tossing in the bin? Don't see where/when/how. Please advise. Thank you.
Great job! It's a shame that poor old horse had to suffer for 2 years before coming to you. 🐎 I think that young man leading the horse may be coming up lame.... 😅
Hi! He is driving the horse forward faster at a trot so we can examine how the horse is moving in order to properly treat his lameness! The flag is used to push the horse in the circle faster! We watch how the horse moves in order to know what is needing fixed in their hooves!
Hi! We weren't expecting a huge massive change in the horse, but we thought we saw some improvements like his willingness to move out come up a bit! We are hoping as we continue working on this horse and correcting this issue we will be able to get him sound!
Such a shame to leave a horse lame for so long and some people don't realize how much time and slow correction from yourself that it takes. Not only the foot but whole body muscle structure needs re balancing. Well done you guys. :)
We would love if in every case the change to perfect would happen immediately! On a case like this, change for the better is a gradual process, and will take some time!
@@olsenequinecjf Thank you for explaining. I am not a horse person, just interested in animal care, hoof trimming, horseshoeing, chiropractic, etc. The RUclips algorithm did this to me.
Was the end trotting supposed to be better than the beginning ? It looked just as lame to me. Why not just retire the horse? Or if it’s in constant pain even in pasture setting - euthanasia would be the kindest option.
Hi Sharon! Our end evaluation was not expected to show a complete recovery, just some improvement! We evaluated that the horse was still moving lame, with a little more willingness though. We plan to continue documenting and following this case so we want it as transparent as possible!
I’m not a horse, nor have I ever owned one, but just from my experience with my own human body, I’m thinking that he’s still sore from all the time he’s been standing & walking on that malformed hoof; and that it’ll get better with time. I know that when I pull something (muscle or tendon) in my own body it can take several days to recover. 🤔
That horse has a few more issues than just the front feet. I am going to say stifled at one point in time. The lameness was coming from the back, pegginess from the front. Probably take a few days to get use to the new setup in shoes.
Hi! Yes, with a long term lameness like this one, we do not expect a dramatic difference right away! We know that it is not an easy fix and want to just do our best to make it more comfortable and with time sound!
When a horse gets so bad he can't even stand on his own feet-- time to lay him down. Not try and come up with ways to get around it. 100 bucks says his feet still hurt after nailing that concoction on.
The hooves are just too long and uncomfortable with pressing bars and heels, long toe, too much material on the hoof... You could have just trim the hoof correctly barefoot, then the horse would have also walked again. Sticking irons underneath is only symptom control but does not fix the cause. The pain is only stunned by iron
We didn't expect a massive change, just some improvement! A horse that has been lame this long we know has a journey to come back to being sound again!
What kind of a person would leave an animal in distress like this? I’ll never understand it.
Good on you for helping then out and relieving their pain.
Very informative for this 68 yr old retired woman with nothing whatsoever in common with horseshoeing! 😂
But loved watching this! Great job.
Thank you very much ma'am! Glad you enjoyed the video!
Aww his face as you put his foot down with the vetwraproll under his frog, it almost made me cry 🥺
Vet wrap trick is awesome! Thank you for sharing it.
So wonderful to see this effort and result for these rescued animals. Wow has to be a new lease on life. Bless you All
Very interesting. You can see the horse was happier to put his foot down afterwards. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you very much maam! We love when they show us theyre feeling better!

Your work is brilliant.
Thank you very much!
Great job. Love it when an animal gets some added quality to their life.❤
Thank you very much, Joy!
Great improvement. Would love to see the follows in the future. I’m sure that one will go back to work one day. Ole Red has a good team of vets and farriers behind him
Thank you very much sir! Were hoping with time were going to have this horse fixed up and feeling great!

Nice work!! Horse looks much more comfortable!❤
Horse feet are so interesting and complicated. Really love seeing your approach and how it's informed by your experience. Hope you can get this horse pain free.
Thank you very much! We are also hoping we can help get this horse back to where he needs to be!
As a farrier of 23 yrs this was interesting work. Hope to see followups.
We are hoping to document this horse's progress thoroughly and get it back to feeling and moving its best again!
Thank you for the narration. I like to watch what is happening but love, love it when I can know/understand what is being done and why. Thank you!!
Thank you very much! We appreciate the support!
Thus shit is actually kinda fire i always liked watching people help horses

Very interesting! Would love to see some follow up on this horse. Thanks for sharing! 👍☺
"the toe hasn't done anything wrong" ... that's hilarious, Lee!😆
I appreciate your patience in answering all those who have questions😊 love your work on this most important part of the horse!
Hi Deb!

Love those fancy shoes!!
What music? It lasts for thirty seconds tops when they assess the lameness or the horse
🧐 thank you for taking excellent care ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Thank you maam!
Where are you located? And do you do classes on trimming barefoot? Thank you very much.
Lee, what made you go with the full pad on this one? What made you want to “protect” the toe? Was it depth from radiographs?
When you have a mystery lameness that isn't easy to pinpoint, you have to check your bases! Since this horse was reactive to hoof testers, we wanted to protect the whole hoof without losing frog support!
Well done.
Thank you very much!

Are you holding them in your hand? Tossing in the bin? Don't see where/when/how. Please advise. Thank you.
Hello! We try to keep our shop very clean, but they normally fall to the ground, where we sweep all of our clippings up and throw them into the trash!
Great job! It's a shame that poor old horse had to suffer for 2 years before coming to you. 🐎
I think that young man leading the horse may be coming up lame.... 😅
Working on horses all day will have that effect on you LOL
That horse stayed like statue. Must have known you were helping.
Thank you very much! Hes always been a very patient horse with us!
new watcher. I have a question about the guy holding the flag while the horse runs around...what's the reason? I am not a horse person...
Hi!
He is driving the horse forward faster at a trot so we can examine how the horse is moving in order to properly treat his lameness! The flag is used to push the horse in the circle faster! We watch how the horse moves in order to know what is needing fixed in their hooves!
@@olsenequinecjf ah...ok...makes sense now...thanks!
Horse still feeling that leg when trotted clockwise. But should take a little while to improve greatly
Hi!
We weren't expecting a huge massive change in the horse, but we thought we saw some improvements like his willingness to move out come up a bit! We are hoping as we continue working on this horse and correcting this issue we will be able to get him sound!

Still limping?

@@olsenequinecjf Thank you for explaining. I am not a horse person, just interested in animal care, hoof trimming, horseshoeing, chiropractic, etc. The RUclips algorithm did this to me.
Why is it called a frog
Because of the shape
Was the end trotting supposed to be better than the beginning ? It looked just as lame to me. Why not just retire the horse? Or if it’s in constant pain even in pasture setting - euthanasia would be the kindest option.

@@jeannierickard8504 I thought the lameness was on the Right hind, as it really increased on the right rein.
He's so lame, he can hardly walk.
Poor breeding, too much weight, overuse of joints and shrunken frog
What u do is a lost art
Saved a beautiful animal.😂
Thank you very much!
no more bagel racing DONE WITH THAT!!
Barrel racing damages horses
He's still hurting.
Horse is still very lame.
He's got poor conformation, is overweight and barrel-racing has damaged him.

To much loud music, watched for the horse.
Nice try but you still looked a little lame to me
