I have a helluva lot of respect for farriers. Just today it was a near thing between my cat and me who would go to the doctor (neither of us did, but we're now out of bactine and band-aids). If a horse suddenly decided it's not having it...
Yeap, it looks like it’s been there for so long. Good thing they immediately remedied the problem before it goes up and eventually hurt the horse’s leg.

Don't know what it is. But, these are some of the most satisfying videos I've ever watched. Especially this one. The shoe, the crack sealer, the trimming... I don't know what it is but, farriers are amazing to me.
Looks like you provided a good chance to heal and grow out. That's going to be a long process. Hope the owner keeps up your farrier skills and doesn't put off after seeing improvement. Thanks for sharing
Such talent and craftsmanship is amazing to watch. It very satisfying too. I know nothing about horses but I love these videos and God bless these wonderful people for all the care and patience with these beautiful animals
@@zachkelly89 I don't know. I asked our farrier once and all he said was, 'I dunno, I just don't'. I mean seriously, I can't stand next to ANY animal without giving it a pet or air kisses.
I’m curious as to why you left so much toe length, especially with such a crack? Is that to do with the shoe placement and having something to nail to?
I had a similar problem with one of my horses a couple of years ago and we did the following: 1. trimming at least every 6 weeks or so; 2. making kind of shallow cuts across the crack (the crack did not go all the way to the hoof coronet); 3. cleaning the crack and squeezing a cotton pad soaked in copper sulfate solution into it; 4. no horse shoe (the horse was bare-footed most of his life anyway). The crack started growing down; it took a few months but the problem disappeared and this particular hoof was in a very good shape for the rest of horse's life (7 or 8 years, as far as I remember).
Just asking . Do you think if the hoof was flater and not bow shaped that the hoof woodent split in the center . Pressure on the side walls of hoof . You know. Iam no holes person but I love watching this . Thanks
Looks very good. From a city guy with little experience with horses other than riding a few. What is the purpose of burning the shoe onto the hoof? What does that do?
As well as what the other commenters said, the steel used on a horse like that is generally 20mm wide & 10mm thick, so trying to shape it accurately to a horses foot cold would be nearly impossible, but when the shoe is heated up in the gas or coal forge it makes the steel very malleable & soft & you can shape it easily to get the best fit. Shoe fit is very important & the horse has to live with the shoe that it gets for the next 6-8 weeks & if the shoe isn't fitting just right, it can cause lameness, arthritis from imbalances & inflammation
@@carpathianken Q: How many farriers have I seen in decades of keeping / owning horses which fit the hoof capsule to the shoe instead of fitting the shoe to the hoof capsule. A: Takes more than fingers and toes on both hands and both feet to count. Not in my stable! On my horses or any boarder's horse either!
Why didn't you treat this crack like a hoof crack in another video you made? ( When you used a hose clamp to draw the hoof together.) I'm just curious.
Soooo question from city ignorance... Why are the horseshoes made right there on the spot? I mean, can't they make them at home or are they custom fit? (I understand some horses might need custom made, but is that usual?)
What causes these true cracks? Is it for an injury or infection? I’m not a horse owner, nor am I sure why RUclips sent me your videos but I really enjoy them and have recently subscribed to your channel.
Other comments make it sound as though the crack should grow out like our nails do when they are damaged or cracked. Is that what happens? Will it eventually heal? Also, what causes this sort of condition? Is it preventable, or just one of those unfortunate things that happen sometime? Thank you.
I can only answer the first questions. Hooves are almost exactly like human nails, so yes damage and cracks grow out and are eventually cut or worn off from the bottom. It should eventually heel as long as it's prevented from splitting further and the area where the hoof grows isn't damaged. I'm not horse person or anything, but I know a good bit about mammals, so this may not be completely accurate
No, it has to grow out like a fingernail. May be the horse has a weakness in its hoof that it tends to split at that point, or else it suffered an injury that caused the crack.
How long it takes for a hoof to be totally renewed? I know that for our thumb toenail, it took a whole year for being totally renewed (I know that because Iv'e injured my nail and it turn black and my doctor said don't worry, it won't came off...) so I wonder, for a horse ?
Cracks can be down to wear and tear, trauma, unbalanced feet, bad shoeing and even just individual horses propensity to get them. White hoof horn is softer than black, and is therefore more susceptible to splits. Good nutrition and careful management of feet will help reduce the occurrence of cracks and prevent minor cracks from getting worse.
These horses know that the humans make them feel better after all the fussing and knocking etc in their feet, they know its so that they will feel better or be better afterwards. Its nice to see that in an animal.
Beautiful work. Grandpa used to do his horses. I was under 10 years so I only remember bits. Like the frog. What little kid isn't fascinated to find a frog under a horses foot. 😊 I was wondering, must a horse have all 4 feet in shoes? Or can it be only the damaged foot/feet?
My guess is generally, yes, but if there's a damaged hoof then they would make the rest as even or attempt to give a similar feeling to the horse in all four feet
It's fairly common to shoe only the front two feet if the horse isn't worked too much on hard ground, or on horses or ponies which have naturally good hard feet, but you'd never shoe only one or three feet! They need to be balanced, and if one foot is 'bad' they will have a special shoe on the bad foot - and a normal shoe, of the same height, on the foot on the other side.
just a dumb question mabye but isn't there a hight difference now because of the horse shoe? will the horse get one at all hooves? or is it not bothering the horse?
It appears the crack has gone into the coronet band--is this something she can recover from, or will corrective shoeing be necessary for the rest of her life? Amazing work.
Hola; hace años me clave una púa de erizo (de mar, soy de costa) en un dedo, en el inicio de la uña,como un centímetro o un poco más, no supe sacarla y ahí se quedó hasta que fue saliendo con el crecimiento de la uña y ésta (la uña) creció partida durante varios meses, incluso algún tiempo después de terminar de salir la púa, luego volvió a crecer normal. En realidad no lo sé con seguridad, espero que con el caballo pasará parecido, aunque claro esta, yo nunca cargué buena parte de mi peso sobre las uñas. Salud 🤙.
This is how it should be done! I can’t stand those people who are very rough with it, the trick is to take your time and take care when doing it. How would people feel if the staff in a salon were that rough and pulling and yanking your foot left right and Center??
Hopefully the crack will be able to 'grow out' with appropriate care which includes regular attendance from the farrier with therapeutic trims and/or shoes. If left alone it will just get worse and worse.
I live a urban life in one Asian country with nothing to do with horses. But I'm so so glad that algorithm brought me this channel, fascinating.

Very addicting watching you guys work on the hooves. The horses look like they enjoy the pedicure as well. 😁
Can you do a follow-up video to show what happens over time?👍👍👍
*I'm not sure what amazes me the most. The fact this popped in my recommendations for no appearent reason or the fact I watched it till the end. Fascinating*
There is something so relaxing about watching your videos. The horses really seem to appreciate it as well

From the looks of the hoof, the Crack looks chronic.
The side clips are a good call.
Nice work.
Yes chronic. Thought so too.
Yeap, it looks like it’s been there for so long. Good thing they immediately remedied the problem before it goes up and eventually hurt the horse’s leg.

I feel you, horsie, my nails split and crack too.
Don't know what it is. But, these are some of the most satisfying videos I've ever watched. Especially this one. The shoe, the crack sealer, the trimming... I don't know what it is but, farriers are amazing to me.
Do you think setting the toe back a little more would reduce stress on crack?
Both mother and father working with horses and baby sitting in walker back there 😍
Excellent work. Very clever to put the indentations either side of the crack to stop it continuing to split.
I love horses and I love the people who care for them.
Looks like you provided a good chance to heal and grow out. That's going to be a long process.
Hope the owner keeps up your farrier skills and doesn't put off after seeing improvement.

Such a pleasure to watch a skilled Farrier at work.
Awesome job! You’re a very talented young man! 🐴
That’s one happy horse. Excellent repair. Craftsman.
You did a beautiful job on that poor horse's hoof!! Really well done!!!
Great job hoof looks so much better
Over the years I have watched thouuuussannnds of shoeing videos. I have never seen a farrier pet a horse or go 'Aww gooboi buddy!'.
Why is that
@@zachkelly89 I don't know. I asked our farrier once and all he said was, 'I dunno, I just don't'.
I mean seriously, I can't stand next to ANY animal without giving it a pet or air kisses.
I’m curious as to why you left so much toe length, especially with such a crack? Is that to do with the shoe placement and having something to nail to?
What kind of sealant do you put in the crack, is it a type of silicone? I was also wondering what kind of hoof polish you use

Beautiful worksmanship. The horse must love you for it. Good Job .
Good work there mister!! Happy horse too!😆💜💙💚💛🧡❤
This is how cloven hooves are made
It’s mostly common sense but the creative way you implement it is fascinating.
Парень, ты просто красавец! Отличная работа!
Beautiful job what is the acrylic in the caulking tube that you are using?
Just asking . Do you think if the hoof was flater and not bow shaped that the hoof woodent split in the center . Pressure on the side walls of hoof . You know. Iam no holes person but I love watching this . Thanks
Looks very good. From a city guy with little experience with horses other than riding a few. What is the purpose of burning the shoe onto the hoof? What does that do?
Helps to see where the shoe is going, is the hoof level, is the shoe the right size, is the hoof trimmed the right way.
It's the method to check shoe fit to the foot and check foot balance in all directions.
As well as what the other commenters said, the steel used on a horse like that is generally 20mm wide & 10mm thick, so trying to shape it accurately to a horses foot cold would be nearly impossible, but when the shoe is heated up in the gas or coal forge it makes the steel very malleable & soft & you can shape it easily to get the best fit.

Not in my stable! On my horses or any boarder's horse either!
It also makes the hot and shoe flat with each other so things can't get in between. Makes for a another better fit!
What did you put in hoof black glue? Acrylic?
These videos are so satisfying to watch!! Nicely done!

Are those rasps designed especially for horses, or do you use any standard woodworking rasp?

horse looks very satisfied
Great job and horse is so patient while you do all that work.
Crack in a hoof, is like when we, get a hang nail, sort of. Keep up the good work, I know the horses are thankful.
What was the name of the product you used at the end? What does it do ?
The horses walk splendidly afterwards
Toe clips are pretty bog standard here in the uk.

Could you not use as long of a nail? Or is it possible to use a screw to hold the shoe on?
How often do you resshaw a cracked hoof like that?
Great job....Brand new Botticellis'......Lucky horse!!!
What causes the crack to start in the first place? Anyway to prevent that?

The horse will have 4 shoes on when he is done with the horse. But he just made the video taking care of the worst hoof first.
Will the crack repair over time?

God bless you all for taking care of man best friends...🙏
Wow so impreesd i am,Great job guys!
I want to ask. Do the horses enjoy having there feet done? Do they enjoy the attention?
I’d love to see the entire process of forging the new shoe.
~ NICE! 👊🏽 Will the crack eventually heal itself? Really enjoy your videos…Such awesome work!
