The horse was sedated in order for him to be able to work on the horse's hooves. He said that the horse was sedated and in one clip you see a lowered head which is from the sedation. No way would the horse allow this to occur without it.
Thank you for helping this severely neglected horse. It is heart breaking to see this horse being neglected like this. I pray for a better life for this beautiful horse. 😢
The amount of science and craftsmanship that goes into helping these horses is just astounding. I hope his owner brings him in more regularly so he can get back to a normal life!
Thank You so much for helping this poor horse! An owner does not have to be very smart to know how bad the horse’s hooves are!! People without empathy should not be allowed to own a horse!!!
That poor horse, he must've been in so much pain! his hooves look so much better when you're done, i'm sure he'll feel amazing in comparison once he gets used to them being a proper length again.
@@terrywereb7639 no because the farrier clearly states elsewhere in the comments that this is not a recent rescue and the people who let the horse get this way are his current owners. He does these at a low cost in the hopes that people will bring in the horses more often.
I literally can't comprehend watching an animal under my care suffer like this ...ESPECIALLY with horses. Horse "people" almost always line up to help by the dozens whenever I ever come across a horse needing rescue (deal w cats/dogs) so all this owner had to do was care ...even a little bit
@@kmaezz I once rescued a 25 year old pony that was skin and bones. She was at a riding stable and she was kept in with at least 20 other horses in the "cheap" pasture which was mostly dust. She had to fight for her food and didn't win very often because she had bite wounds all over. I had gone with my friend who was looking at some of the riding horses for sale. The manager asked if we would be interested in a "Free Pony". I immediately went home and got my truck and trailer. First thing in the morning I called a vet. She had super bad teeth, a severe case of sand colic with horrible diarrhea. Teeth floated, treated the colic (she pooped nothing but sand for 2 days) special diet of alfalfa pellets and dressed her wounds. She made a full recovery and lived another year, happy and healthy.
This is my 4th time watching this video, I can only speak for myself but I like the way you describe the hoof what we’re looking at and then your game plan or goal. No loud music just informative narration and demonstration of the proper technique, thank you again.
The abuse speaks for itself, those hooves made me wince in secondhand pain. Imagine your ankles being permanently twisted and having to walk and run on them.
@@KT-in3wb the time to berate is when they *aren't* finally seeking treatment for the abuse, that just tells them not to ever bother making life better for their animals. I mean hell, for all we know, the owner was elderly and hiding that they couldn't take care of their animals anymore, and the family only just found out and got the farrier asap. 🤷
PLEASE do a follow up video for this horse, Id give anything to see him moving around more naturally and looking a lot happier than he did. Very good job and thank you for helping him!

@@BradfordChristianNeilBongao depends on what part of the video you're asking about. 3:09, it's paint coming off from the new reciprocating saw blade. At 8:04, he explains that he hit a blood pocket due to the deformity of the hoof making it difficult to identify where everything is. 😢
@@BradfordChristianNeilBongao It is paint from the new reciprocal blade he was using. He explained it in the first part of the video. It was NOT blood. He explained toward the end of the trim there was a bit of blood on his nippers from hitting a blood pocket.
RESPECT! Hand trimming is no joke. I follow a hoof trimmer for cattle in Scotland and he uses a grinder. Sticking to the old ways where you can feel every cut is an art. Much respect. This is HARD work and takes maximum skill. Bravo. Being a Ferrier is NO JOKE. It takes skill and you really have to be in shape to not only cut the hoofs, but manage a sedated horse when necessary. Horses are heavy, and if you're trying to keep a horse upright under light sedation while manually trying to trim the hoofs, that's strength and skill.
Who in the HELL let this horse’s hooves get this bad? Whoever it is doesn’t need to have ANY more animals if they can’t do better than that. God bless you Sir for taking care of this beautiful animal.
I hope the owner does come back in the 6-8 week period and that you could film the followup work, I would be interested in following this horse. Thank you for showing that even with foot neglect, a well trained and experienced farrier can bring the horse back to healthy feet.

As an owner of a hobby farm with only 3 horses, most people don’t realize the expense of horse ownership. Fortunately my wife and I had incomes to support and maintain our small herd. Square bale hay here in Connecticut is $8-10 a bale. We need 400 bales every season. Every 6-8 weeks the farrier comes to trim, reuse the shoes or replace $250.00. The grain, fresh water and treats add up every month. We just put up a new barn 10 years ago. So you see it’s a costly hobby to get into and maintain. Not to mention vet bills twice a year. ($75.00) just to visit your barn before any treatment. You can’t cheap out on your horses. They deserve all the care you can give. I just subscribed. Thanks for the quality and informative videos.

Dude if you can't afford it, sell your horses and your farm. Don't make your horses suffer because of your miscalculation on what you can financially handle.
@youtube-ventura You suffer from a lack of comprehension skills. The poster clearly states that he and his wife have the money to fund their little farm. He wrote only to share the fact that people get horses without knowing how expensive it is and he shared some examples. Then you barge in accusing him of being a dirt-broke animal abuser, all because you can not comprehend reading. Go back to school and try again. Meanwhile, quite commenting and showing the world how pathetic your skills are.
@TWay-yf5zm You're agreeing with a fool. Go back to the poster's comment and find where he says he and his wife CAN'T afford their farm...go on. What you'll find is a man saying they were financially prepared to afford their hobby farm and horses. He did a good service by listing some real costs they pay that people need to be aware of. youtube-ventura did NOT understand a word the man clearly wrote. Then YOU come along like a backwoods bobble-head UH HUH UH HUH AYUCK YUCK YUCK DATS RIGHT! I hope you're at least intelligent enough to be embarrassed and delete your comment to ventura so the nonsense isn't there for all time.
You are brilliant, well done. Thankyou for helping this sweetheart of a horse. THE OWNER SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED ANYWHERE NEAR ANIMALS AT ALL FOR LIFE ! WHAT A CRUEL PERSON. Thank goodness for people like you. Alovely kind compassionate man and brilliant farrier . Hope the horse has a comfortable good life now xx
You obviously know nothing about situations like this. The most common I remember was elderly people that couldn't get to animals because of age or illness and didn't have the money to get them fixed afterwards. The usual option was to just have a neighbor dig a hole with a tractor and put them down. Or they could be sold to a renderer at a stock yard. So a lifetime of raising animals and an elderly person getting dementia and you scream ignorant insults at them.
The world needs more people like you guys. If you ever travel to Bali, Indonesia, there are more suffering dogs there in need of help then I've ever seen in my entire life combined. It's heart breaking
this poor boy :((( thank you for the work that you do, it gives me so much hope knowing that there are people like you out there with the compassion and dedication needed to care for these animals properly. i'm sure you have touched the souls of every horse you have helped ♥
That looked like incredibly hard work! I'm not a farmer, I know nothing about horses, but what u just did for this animal was amazing, brother! Just to take away the pain he was in was worth it. Well done, sir! Well done!
What's amazing to me is that those feet were still reasonably ok under all that overgrowth. Hopefully they have been fully restored by now and the back ones return to correct positions, please God. Great job!!❤❤❤
I can tell by the way the horse is holding his head down that he's sedated, thank you for your care and consideration in explaining this operation to everyone, that's very kind of you. I've often thought about going to school to learn how to perform these procedures but I know there's more to it than just the trimming of their hooves. There's various infections and illnesses that can affect their hooves as well.
You should know when you don't know what you're talking about. A lot of horse people commenting here and they all thank him for his work and keep quite about the owners. Supirt him and send some cash with the thanks button on his videos. A lot of these animals it's leave them as is or put them down.
@@sparksmcgee6641so let me get this straight. Me saying that neglect like this is criminal and that the owners should be prosecuted is me having no idea what I’m talking about. Or that giving your horse regular hoof care can prevent this is also me not knowing what I’m talking about. You are the one with no idea. You need to move along 😂
It hurts to see this horse in obvious pain (and it was sedated!). If I hadn't noticed a finished hoof behind the ferrier, I don't know if I could have handled the suspense. It must have taken hours. Thank God for the work of this sensitive, knowledgeable, professional!
In six weeks, does he get some custom shoes to help rotate his bone, ligaments, and tendons back into anatomical alignment? It looks like even with the fantastic job you did getting him back on flat feet, things are still pretty out of whack. It's going to take a while for the neglect to grow out either way. I hope the owner keeps with it; I know you will.
@@YAVUZ8847the horse is probably not doing anything that requires it has shoes, and with everything going on with its hind feet it makes me wonder if it may not be possible to safely shoe those at this point.
Poor thing. I wish somebody loved him. This is probably the closest he’s ever gotten to anybody caring. He’s so patient, he knows he’s being helped finally.
This is heart breaking to watch the condition this poor horse was in and can't believe the amount of pain you figure 1,000 #s of weight of pressure on those feet before trimmed and corrected the best it can be for now Thank you for the video and giving him a bath brushing out his mane and tail the most attention this horse has gotten in awhile attention and love he needs to have! Great job on feet and care he got thank you for what you do
TO SEE SUCH NEGLECT OF THIS HORSE IS, MORE THAN HEART BREAKING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YOU DID A LOT TO HELP THIS HORSE OUT & THANKS FOR SHARING!!! Do take care. Fl.
Thank you for helping this horse. There are possibly numerous reasons why his owner neglected this animal, but hopefully that will change or he will sell the horse.
It hurts my heart to see horses or donkeys and mules with horribly neglected feet! But it's always nice to see a capable farrier get them straightened out enough to have a comfortable surface on the bottom of the hooves for the animal to stand and walk on!!! Good job!! 👍👍❤️❤️❤️
Please post when you get back to this horse! You did remarkable work and I for one would like to see the final result. I’ll subscribe! And thanks for what you do!!!
Thank you for explaining about the paint. I've never seen an animal with hooves like that. I would have been pretty alarmed if I didn't know that was paint.
Thanks for helping him....he looks like a good boy who deserves a better home.....😊 A combination of brawn, knowledge & an artistic bent makes for a beautiful job!🎉
Happens very often when horses get into a grain bin and overdose. It is called foundering. A foundered horse grows hooves like this quickly and there is not much you can do. Especially when a hoof job like this is temporary and expensive.
That's worth knowing. I didn't know the horse would do that. Could it help if the grain bin would stand on a certain high, so it's impossible to stand in it. They would only have to bring their neck and head into the bin, unless they would or could still overdose ?!??
An absolute disgrace that a person would allow their animal to suffer like this i have owned horses for 40 years and never ever have i seen this kind of neglect in horses hooves this is reall disgusting behaviour shown towards this beautiful soul
I bet that horse was sore af for a few days just from the physical shock of such a radical change but I hope with my whole heart he gets better care moving forward. You did a GREAT job!
i feel so bad for the horse. poor thing , he must've been in pain for a long time. then the savior came along.Bless your Hands. you've done a GREAT Job .
Do you have the ability to keep horses to ensure monitoring and close follow up? I don't own a horse, never have, but watching you repair these hoofs and give these horses a better way of life is heart warming. Thank you.
Wow! That was amazing. You did a great job on all the feet. I'm sure it will take him sometime to adjust to his new feet but I think he'll feel so much better. I hope the owner will continue to bring him to you so he can be trimmed on a regular bases and that will probably improve those back feet a great deal.
Man, that was hard to watch. I’m so thankful you’ve got the knowledge and skill to do this horse some justice!
I'LL 2ND THAT!
I felt the same way! I was cringing so many times throughout this procedure, I do hope his owners take better care of him.
I am also thankful that he was able to give a tranquilizer to the horse. Not all states allow that.
All states allow it, but in most you must be a veterinarian to administer a sedative other than ace.
@@ImogenC-rt3fm or the owner won't pay for it.....cheap.
I dated a ferrier. We'd go for drives and if he saw a foundered horse he'd go back to the farm and offer his services for free. Horses Loved him ❤
oih my god did you see the RAW BLOOD on the HORSES HOOF AFTER HE USED A STRAIGHT MACHINE TO SAW IT OFF?

Dude if you can't afford it, sell your horses and your farm. Don't make your horses suffer because of your miscalculation on what you can financially handle.
@@youtube-venturaso true
Same situation here. 4,000 to treat Lyme. Get the check book out!
@youtube-ventura You suffer from a lack of comprehension skills.
The poster clearly states that he and his wife have the money to fund their little farm. He wrote only to share the fact that people get horses without knowing how expensive it is and he shared some examples.
Then you barge in accusing him of being a dirt-broke animal abuser, all because you can not comprehend reading.
Go back to school and try again. Meanwhile, quite commenting and showing the world how pathetic your skills are.
@TWay-yf5zm You're agreeing with a fool.
Go back to the poster's comment and find where he says he and his wife CAN'T afford their farm...go on.
What you'll find is a man saying they were financially prepared to afford their hobby farm and horses. He did a good service by listing some real costs they pay that people need to be aware of.
youtube-ventura did NOT understand a word the man clearly wrote. Then YOU come along like a backwoods bobble-head UH HUH UH HUH AYUCK YUCK YUCK DATS RIGHT! I hope you're at least intelligent enough to be embarrassed and delete your comment to ventura so the nonsense isn't there for all time.
You are brilliant, well done. Thankyou for helping this sweetheart of a horse. THE OWNER SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED ANYWHERE NEAR ANIMALS AT ALL FOR LIFE ! WHAT A CRUEL PERSON.
Thank goodness for people like you. Alovely kind compassionate man and brilliant farrier . Hope the horse has a comfortable good life now xx
You obviously know nothing about situations like this.
The most common I remember was elderly people that couldn't get to animals because of age or illness and didn't have the money to get them fixed afterwards.
The usual option was to just have a neighbor dig a hole with a tractor and put them down.
Or they could be sold to a renderer at a stock yard.
So a lifetime of raising animals and an elderly person getting dementia and you scream ignorant insults at them.
The world needs more people like you guys. If you ever travel to Bali, Indonesia, there are more suffering dogs there in need of help then I've ever seen in my entire life combined. It's heart breaking
Those were the most horrific conditions I have ever seen on any horse! The work you have done is absolutely bloody Brill! What talent and compassion.
Thank you so much for helping this horse. I pray they do bring him back in six weeks and continue to give him the care that he needs.
Wow. What an amazing transformation. You are truly great at your job. Thank you for helping this sweet horse.
Thank you for helping this horse, which is a beautiful creature who deserved more than this. ❤
this poor boy :((( thank you for the work that you do, it gives me so much hope knowing that there are people like you out there with the compassion and dedication needed to care for these animals properly. i'm sure you have touched the souls of every horse you have helped ♥
It's so awesome that you are helping the horses! I'll be their spokes person today & say thanks & bless you all!💙
That looked like incredibly hard work! I'm not a farmer, I know nothing about horses, but what u just did for this animal was amazing, brother! Just to take away the pain he was in was worth it. Well done, sir! Well done!
What's amazing to me is that those feet were still reasonably ok under all that overgrowth. Hopefully they have been fully restored by now and the back ones return to correct positions, please God. Great job!!❤❤❤
I can tell by the way the horse is holding his head down that he's sedated, thank you for your care and consideration in explaining this operation to everyone, that's very kind of you. I've often thought about going to school to learn how to perform these procedures but I know there's more to it than just the trimming of their hooves. There's various infections and illnesses that can affect their hooves as well.
The sheer neglect is criminal. The immediate relief you can give these horses just by a regular trim can never be understated.
You should know when you don't know what you're talking about. A lot of horse people commenting here and they all thank him for his work and keep quite about the owners.
Supirt him and send some cash with the thanks button on his videos.
A lot of these animals it's leave them as is or put them down.
@@sparksmcgee6641your comment makes absolutely no sense. 10/10 for effort though :)
@@elandria Because you don't know what you're talking about.
@@sparksmcgee6641so let me get this straight. Me saying that neglect like this is criminal and that the owners should be prosecuted is me having no idea what I’m talking about. Or that giving your horse regular hoof care can prevent this is also me not knowing what I’m talking about. You are the one with no idea. You need to move along 😂
That poor neglected animal :( So glad there's someone like this guy to help and hopefully make their life better.
It hurts to see this horse in obvious pain (and it was sedated!).
If I hadn't noticed a finished hoof behind the ferrier, I don't know if I could have handled the suspense. It must have taken hours. Thank God for the work of this sensitive, knowledgeable, professional!
Words don’t even come to me to express how amazing you are!! Thank you for all you do and Many Blessings!!
In six weeks, does he get some custom shoes to help rotate his bone, ligaments, and tendons back into anatomical alignment? It looks like even with the fantastic job you did getting him back on flat feet, things are still pretty out of whack. It's going to take a while for the neglect to grow out either way. I hope the owner keeps with it; I know you will.
100% what I was about to ask and say, so @adde9506 well said!
I couldn't understand why the horse wasn't gotten horseshoes
@@YAVUZ8847the horse is probably not doing anything that requires it has shoes, and with everything going on with its hind feet it makes me wonder if it may not be possible to safely shoe those at this point.
@@YAVUZ8847 If the owner couldn't manage a trim every 8 - 10 weeks, they certainly aren't going to do shoes every 6 weeks.
Shoes would get in the way.
Heartbreaking. Thank you for looking after these beautiful animals, and giving them proper attention, care, love, support, and delayed justice!
What a patient, calm horse. Thank you for helping him. I hope he is doing much better now.
Horse was drugged he said.
@@tjn8844 Horse got a nice day at the spa but no aspirin for that hangover! hahahaha!
I’m always impressed to see you find the correct foot inside all the awful overgrowth.
Thank you for helping and being so kind to this animal. So sad to see him neglected like this. Hope he’s in better care now
I'm not really a 'Horsey' person although I found this fascinating. Well done that man! It's a work of art.
That broke my heart!!!! I’m so glad you could help him. 🥹
It's amazing that he just stands and lets you do that. He's not even afraid of the noise or vibration
Poor thing. I wish somebody loved him. This is probably the closest he’s ever gotten to anybody caring. He’s so patient, he knows he’s being helped finally.
You work so hard. That horse is blessed to be in your compassionate care.
The work you did for that horse was amazing. God bless you sir.
Amazing watching you work! I am so glad that the poor horses have you on their side. Thank you for a satisfying video of hoof restoration.
This is heart breaking to watch the condition this poor horse was in and can't believe the amount of pain you figure 1,000 #s of weight of pressure on those feet before trimmed and corrected the best it can be for now
Thank you for the video and giving him a bath brushing out his mane and tail the most attention this horse has gotten in awhile attention and love he needs to have! Great job on feet and care he got thank you for what you do
Amazing skills, fascinating to watch. Thank God your helping these horses 🐎 🙏 🙌
No matter what has happened to that horse in the past, thank GOD he found his way to you! ❤🐎
That’s a good way to look at it. It’s easy to judge, but braver to move forward like these farriers are doing. Nice to see the horses getting help.
TO SEE SUCH NEGLECT OF THIS HORSE IS, MORE THAN HEART BREAKING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YOU DID A LOT TO HELP THIS HORSE OUT & THANKS FOR SHARING!!! Do take care. Fl.
I really appreciate all your hard work! You are making a positive difference in the world, and I'm so grateful for you.
Thank you for helping this horse. There are possibly numerous reasons why his owner neglected this animal,
but hopefully that will change or he will sell the horse.
There’s no GOOD reason for something like this.
I keep watching this video, feeling so sad in the condition. It thrills me how ya'll work miracles. Bless you and thank you for this rescue!
Just have so much admiration for these guys. They help these poor horses& it’s such hard work, but how rewarding.
Thank you ❤🙏
It hurts my heart to see horses or donkeys and mules with horribly neglected feet! But it's always nice to see a capable farrier get them straightened out enough to have a comfortable surface on the bottom of the hooves for the animal to stand and walk on!!! Good job!! 👍👍❤️❤️❤️
Please post when you get back to this horse! You did remarkable work and I for one would like to see the final result. I’ll subscribe! And thanks for what you do!!!
Thank you for explaining about the paint. I've never seen an animal with hooves like that. I would have been pretty alarmed if I didn't know that was paint.
Thanks for helping him....he looks like a good boy who deserves a better home.....😊 A combination of brawn, knowledge & an artistic bent makes for a beautiful job!🎉
I've never seen something so horrible. Poor, poor animal. Thanks for the good hearted person, helping out......❤❤
Happens very often when horses get into a grain bin and overdose. It is called foundering. A foundered horse grows hooves like this quickly and there is not much you can do. Especially when a hoof job like this is temporary and expensive.
That's worth knowing. I didn't know the horse would do that. Could it help if the grain bin would stand on a certain high, so it's impossible to stand in it. They would only have to bring their neck and head into the bin, unless they would or could still overdose ?!??
An absolute disgrace that a person would allow their animal to suffer like this i have owned horses for 40 years and never ever have i seen this kind of neglect in horses hooves this is reall disgusting behaviour shown towards this beautiful soul
I really hope that the owner lets you keep helping this beautiful horse.
What a brilliant job you did I really hope this horse makes a good recovery
Beautiful work! Fascinating to watch, and so pleased knowing the horse is going to feel so much better walking.
The horse moving around his hooves just breaks my heart. Thank you for this! I’m so glad the horse is in better condition
Thank goodness for talented men like this man. Thanks for saving the horse
JFC! Thank you for helping this creature feel so much better! God bless you! 🙏😘
Thank you showing us how to help out the voiceless and they know you're helping them thank you for being there
Wow. That was a mess. Thank you for helping the horse. ❤
The way u explained it is fabulous. So easy to understand the process and the discomfort that poor horse was in. Great job
I bet that horse was sore af for a few days just from the physical shock of such a radical change but I hope with my whole heart he gets better care moving forward. You did a GREAT job!
Hoping this horse gets regular trims and has a good life. Thank you for helping
i feel so bad for the horse. poor thing , he must've been in pain for a long time.
then the savior came along.Bless your Hands. you've done a GREAT Job .
Thank you for helping out the horse despite their owners.
This breaks my heart THANK YOU GUYS for taking care of the ones that need it GODBLESS ❤
My blessings to that young man with a good heart and he will go go far in this occupation!!! Best of luck young man God bless you 🙏🙏🙏🙏!!!!
Do you have the ability to keep horses to ensure monitoring and close follow up?
I don't own a horse, never have, but watching you repair these hoofs and give these horses a better way of life is heart warming. Thank you.
It's surprising how fast they recover. It'll be walking normal the next day or later the same day.
Such neglect is hard to so. Thank you for making this video for awareness!
This poor Horse, How can anyone do this?, I was so glad to see her get new hooves tho, THANK YOU and lots of love from Scotland.xxAnne.
Wow! That was amazing. You did a great job on all the feet. I'm sure it will take him sometime to adjust to his new feet but I think he'll feel so much better. I hope the owner will continue to bring him to you so he can be trimmed on a regular bases and that will probably improve those back feet a great deal.
