Watching tradesman work is like therapy. We appreciate you guys. I don't work a trade any more but it was some of the most satisfying work I had ever done.
I'm not sure if I've ever been so impressed by something so out of my wheel house. This is definitely an art form that I had never really considered. Truly amazing work. I would say by the looks of the horse, it would agree. Fantastic and marvelous craftsmanship!
Dumb as it sounds, I am wondering what my life would have been like doing this work. It looks physically straining, so that's a big no because of chronic issues.
@@LadyhawksLairDotCom not dumb at all to wonder what it would be like to live as another person does...that is empathy. You're correct, it is a very physically demanding job, working bent over all the time....barns are not heated in winter nor air cooled in summer, except for fans...some horses can be very difficult to work with. Some will lean on the farrier instead of their other three legs. Then there's the smell of hot shoe against hoof - like the smell of burning hair x 1000. Phew!
You ferriers do such beautiful work and it is an amazing craft being a blacksmith as well. You help heal horses and also maintain their health and comfort. No wonder a horse shoe is a sign of good luck.
I have not seen for a long time an ease shoe. But boy that is neat. The work you did on that is pretty good the animal seems comfortable and will be more so given a little more time to get used to the shoe. Lovely job man and the horse seems to have taken to it. Yes tip top. Thanks.
Amazing knowledge and execution to help with the injury. And the ferrier is an amazing athlete to be able to work while in that position without destroying his back.
I always trust a farrier that makes their own shoes! Of course, time doesn't always allow, but learning how to at all shows a good mind and workmanship!
Takes me back to my chilhood in the 70s… we would watch the blacksmith across the church, always hoping for failed nails which we treasured as the biggest treasure we could find. Great and insightful video, thank you for sharing.
Dang that was awesome. It was amazing how he made the shoe for the horse. Didn't know there were anyone who could still do that. Hell people who do shoe horses order everything premade . Awesome 👍
WOW great job & what a difference with that horse! My horse injured both back leg tendons end of July. Dun's on paddock & mostly stall rest, hand walking with leg wraps, cold water compress, Biglioil, pain meds. He was in such pain my farrier could not even trim him. It is stressful for all. He's on the mend & getting better daily but it will be a long haul.
Went to horseshoeing school at Oklahoma state horse shoeing school on 1999. Its hard work but satisfying. Taught us how to make shoes and a whole lot more. It's really not as east as some shows. But it is rewarding.
Would love to see the horses walk in their new shoes after they're all on! nothing more satisfying than horse hooves hitting the ground. Thanks for the awesome channel, I very much enjoy it!
Still might be. Recovery from tendon injuries, for a horse, isn't always as straightforward as remedial shoeing. Extended periods of inactivity on box rest isn't conductive to a horses health or well being, let along turning them out afterwards!
Do you have to be more careful shoeing a horse with tendon injury? Can your having to handle the foot cause pain? Or would there be pain meds administered? Hope your patient recovers well. You are an artist for sure!
خدایی دمت گرم کارت خیلی درسته هم پیش خداوند ثواب میکنی هم اون حیون زبون بسته راحت راه میره چه بسا اون اسب تورو هم دعا کنه.خیلی هم حرفه ای هستی دوست من.
I hope this isn't one of those dying trades and young ones are learning these skills. I remember watching the farrier put turnbacks on a shoe for a racehorse. This is very impressive.
Why do you bounce the hammer on the anvil now and then? And what is the grey powder you spray on? Thank you! I'm enjoying watching people ply their trade for the betterment of the animals.
He does the bouncing to reestablish his grip on the hammer. It will drift as you pound. The powder is borax. It cleans the surface of the metal as they work the shoe, which helps to make a better welding bond. It is also called blacksmithing powder.
The two animals we have the closest partnership with are dogs and horses. No other animals on earth even come close. They will do anything we ask right up to the point where they will kill themselves to obey our command. It is our responsibility to respect and honor their selflessness. This is one way in which we do this. Thank you in your noble pursuit.
@@nobodyspecial4702 I think OP is referring to K-9 units, bomb squad dogs, search and rescue etc. Not necessarily dogs in military service though they are just as important. They are dogs who risk their own life for social services and enjoy being of use to man. The utmost respect for these creatures.
The stuff you spray on a joint….is that some sort of flux ? you don’t show a weld, but maybe you’re fusing? (I’m a metalsmith/jeweler lifelong horse lover). Unfortunately, thanks to scoliosis, my back was never strong enough to consider a blacksmithing/farrier caree I REALLY a enjoy your videos!
Hola que Herrero es un MAESTRO HERRERO y ustedes no nos pueden privar de ver y aprender del MAESTRO QUEREMOS que traduscan los comentarios en CASTELLANO SOMOS DE ARGENTINA LO FELICITAMOS A TODOS Y AL HERRERO PRINSIPALMENTE BUENA 0NDA
I'm really enjoying your videos, you're incredibly skilled and I really appreciate the work you're doing for the horses. Just one concern that you don't wear safety glasses. Does your face never get hit by flying sparks from the hot metal?
I hope I won’t step on anyone’s toe with this question, but I would like to know why this horse didn’t get a leather pad between the shoe and the hoof? I understand this is to relieve pressure on the tendon while it’s healing, but is there no risk of having a caudal failure with such an open heel shoe that is at a steeper angle comparing to the hoof without the shoe? Also, amazing work, I am kind of an “old school” lover, and I’m glad to see you make such a high quality handmade shoe! Well done, there is immediate relief in the horse’s stance as soon as the shoe was applied!
Never seen anything like this before. I do have a question, since one side is now higher and the other side barefoot do the horses get sore in their back or hips? Can you level it out putting a heel shoe on the other foot?
That’s a good question. I’m curious too now how it will affect the horse’s hips and other leg. I know in the beginning he said the horse was going to be on stall confinement so he won’t be walking around on it. I would imagine that it is something they do take into account and will be watching for off side strain. And I’m sure a good chiropractor adjustment once the shoe is off will help line things back up.
Id be shocked if a raised bar shoe this high would be used for a long period of time. There would be a lot of pressure coming down through the front of the hoof and throughout the hoof capsule into the toe. I reckon a few weeks then decrease the height of the heel with a new shoe.
Therapeutic high heels for horses, not a thing I was expecting to see today, but a thing that makes me happy to see none the less.
Watching tradesman work is like therapy. We appreciate you guys. I don't work a trade any more but it was some of the most satisfying work I had ever done.
The great amount of skill required to assess, shape, and then forge to exact specs is outstanding. Good work all around
I'm really impressed at how well that weld looks.
I can't believe what I have just watched. A heeled horseshoe for a disabled horse. It's incredible and you are a master of your craft.
You're a healer and an artist at the same time. Impressive.

This gives me an inkling of how much knowledge a farrier must have...from horse anatomy to the geometry of blacksmithing.
Вы мастер с большой буквы ,
любящий свое дело.
Долгих лет родителям , Всех Благ

Кузнец от Бога.
This was so fascinating to watch. Your helping a animal and getting to use tools. OH THE LIFE! Much respect to you sir.
There’s a lot of pretend farriers out there… this guy definitely isn’t one of those! Absolutely amazing to watch a true craftsman and professional.
No truer word said there.
you can tell how much these farriers care about the horses they get in to take care of. I love watching this channel!
You ferriers do such beautiful work and it is an amazing craft being a blacksmith as well. You help heal horses and also maintain their health and comfort.

I've been watching these (sometimes more than once) and I'm hooked. It's healing and art, all in one.
Skilled, CARING professional. KUDOS - was a joy to watch and the horse LOOKS so relieved!
I can't even imagine the pain this poor horse was in before the new shoe was put on. Prayers for a quick recovery!
Hello how are you doing
I wonder how bad the aforementioned injury was?? *Ckm
But the looks of it this shoe has already relieved the horse of some of its pain. Amazing job !
I never cease to be amazed at how skilled you are!
WOW amazing, the time and effort you took into this horse and project is unreal nice job shows you have respect and care.
Смотрел ролик на одном дыхании, кузнец настоящий профи, и это он доказал на деле! Респект и уважение заслуживает этот человек! 👍💪🔥
این فرد استادکاره و عاشقه کارشه با شما هم عقیده ام
ولی صاحب اسب چرا زودتر اقدام نکرده معلومه خیلی درد کشیده قلبم بدرد میاد
Fascinating... its like heel wedges in air casts for horses. Awesome and nice work.
Amazing knowledge and execution to help with the injury. And the ferrier is an amazing athlete to be able to work while in that position without destroying his back.
His back is probably already destroyed
I always trust a farrier that makes their own shoes! Of course, time doesn't always allow, but learning how to at all shows a good mind and workmanship!
I can see that your craftsmanship is exquisite and you take pride in your work.
Wonderful craftsmanship in those young hands!

Are you talking like 1870s???
I would have loved to have learn this skill and craftsmanship,
thought about it in my 20's. but had no money for the schooling. you do amazing work
This is such an interesting horseshoe. Thank you for your great work & the lesson.
Кузнец не только подковывает, но и протезы изготавливает, мастер на все руки
Equal parts craftsmanship, artistry, humanitarianism, and heroics. Hammer forging that joint; terrific
I've learnt something new,You are amazing what you do to help Horses
Magnificent! Perfect workmanship. I don't know one thing about your craft but I can tell you're very good at this.
I've never seen one like this certainly shows ingenuity looks like it helps a lot.
Dang that was awesome. It was amazing how he made the shoe for the horse. Didn't know there were anyone who could still do that. Hell people who do shoe horses order everything premade . Awesome 👍
I just found your youtube tonight. This is so fascinating. I'm enjoying the skillset to do this job. Awesome.
Thanks for caring for the animals.

Ортопедическая подкова... никогда бы не подумал. Молодцы, что облегчаете жизнь этим прекрасным животным
Ah ecco è ortopedico...
Will you show the horses progress in a future video?
No
Never
I don't think they get revisits since it's a school

Hello Pegg how’s the weather over there
Un trabajo muy bueno👍. Eres todo un profesional ...
تا به امروز نعل پاشنه دار ندیده بودم مهارت و استادی آهنگر قابله شتایشه 👏👏
Thank you for this lovely instructive video. Clearly the horse is very happy with the handiwork. ❤️👏👏👏❤️
You are truly an artist.
well that s the first time I have seen a horse with a high heeled shoe! Brilliant. the legg look sso much more relaxed already. Great work!
To think there was a time when this horse would have been labeled as "lame," and subsequently put down. Amazing work!
Still might be. Recovery from tendon injuries, for a horse, isn't always as straightforward as remedial shoeing.
Extended periods of inactivity on box rest isn't conductive to a horses health or well being, let along turning them out afterwards!
Plenty of horses going to slaughter houses in Mexico every day for lesser issues.
Eso se llama herraje correctivos...cuando hay problema en los talones del animal..mis respetos y felicitaciones al herrador y forjador

Hello Liz how’s the weather over there
What an amazing job beautiful great to take care of these phenomenal animals
I wish someone had told me this was an option as a career when I was in high school.
Straight talent and experience right there. He made that look easy as hell
I hope this isn't one of those dying trades and young ones are learning these skills. I remember watching the farrier put turnbacks on a shoe for a racehorse. This is very impressive.
Based on the fact that this is a school channel, and I've seen easily 15 different students, around my age, I think it'll be just fine
This trade can never die!!! Until there will be horses, there will be a need for these people.
Bro that was amazing what I just witnessed. Never seen a shoe made from just a stick of iron. Holy horseshoe Batman. Great job.

Wow, that was impressive. Great job. Thank you for sharing.
He nailed it with this job. Well done
Nice close ups of you working those shoeing tools!
Trabalho bem feito 👏👏
Man You are great artist and master in your craft.
You can tell an experienced blacksmiths compared to an amateur, and this man is definitely experienced
Beautiful work
Hello Amanda how’s the weather over there

Astounding to watch such skill - thank you
I just bought my first forge at an auction, and now I know that all the forges at the auction were for making and maintaining horseshoes
What you gonna do with it? Blades?
@@jonnylawless6797 That's the plan

We did something similar to that years ago but we used a piece of steel tubing That was welded to the heels of the shoe
You my friend, are one talented dude!!! Amazing! Nice work! Cheers!
This is pretty darned sweet.
Fascinating to watch. What is the powder you put on when joining the ends and what does it do please?
