For those wondering; Domestic horses reside in grass pastures which generally do not have enough rough terrain to wear down hooves. Additionally, they do not have to run as much and stand idle in stalls. Wild Horses on the other hand traverse over rocks, sticks, gravel, grass, etc and run quite often to travel or escape predators.
Therefore, the owner of a domestic horse should be paying attention to the hooves as well as the diet, coat and general well being. Nobody said it was easy.
This is damn near criminal to let a horses hooves get this bad. Thank you so very much for doing an amazing job and restoring some semblance of quality to the life of this beautiful horse.
I don't know the laws of wherever this is, but where I live, it is certainly criminal and the owners would be fined and banned from ever owning animals again. Absolutely disgusting.
@@gabriel-uc1uz I believe lots and *lots* of natural wear from the hard surfaces the horses regularly travel. It’s the same for wild dogs such as wolves
This horse is foundered. It could be lame for life. One way it happens is by letting them eat too much, or if they accidentally get into the food supply and gorge themselves.
Forreal. They should be fined and their animals taken away. Life-long ban from keeping equines. I know these bans exists in the UK, I hope they exist in the US too.
You saved his life you know! 4 legs, every step is agony, for months, years maybe. No foot, no horse. Thank you, and thank you for passing on your knowledge to others.
There are some popular videos showing donkey hoof trimming in China. Their techniques and tools seem to be much better, unless horse hooves are much much harder than donkey hooves.
I don’t think I’ve ever seen a hoof transformation this impressive, the trimming of the heel absolutely changes the formation of the hoof and the angle of the bone! He looks fantastic, all credit to you for you knowledge and work, you’ll be putting some fantastic farriers out into the world!
You’ve definitely given this boy a new lease on life. The relief must be immense. Great job. I never thought at the start of the video that you could get them that close to perfect.
@@eatass5627 A "new lease on life" isn't an "emotion" ding dong. Troll away fool and get your GED and come back when you have something intelligent to say. Animals do feel pain you idiot.
Shod horses in the New England for 23 years and saw a few that were this bad. It was always immensely satisfying to find the proper hoof under all that growth and get the horses standing correct again. Many farriers do not have this mans ability to bring the hoof all the way back and think you have to do it gradually. You do not. These horses were immediately relieved and lucky to finally be in the care of a professional. Bravo.
I get that it's basically fingernails, but the strain on the tendons had to be immense, that's why I would vote for gradual change, maybe over a week or two, just to be safe. There might be a tendency to run with new abilities, which could easily damage a leg. You could stall them instead, I suppose.
@@sharksport01 yes, I believe so...hoof care is about restoring the proper angle of the coffin bone to restore normal flexion of the tendons in the leg. You can shoe a horse to improve this or adjust as needed.
If the owners did this, they should be fined for animal abuse. Unreal! Fantastic work at the end! Looked like nice hooves!!! Bless you for the relief....I would have been furious!
I just have enormous respect for anybody that is brilliant at their job, no matter if its manual work or something highly technical. That was just great to watch and the horse just had his life made immeasurably better.
Look up how much they could actually make and you’ll realize why some work very hard, but you’re right regardless of whatever you choose to do for a living you should do your best.
I was so saddened and almost overwhelmed at the beginning of this video. But the ferrier made this horse so happy. It honestly looks like art when he was finished! Disturbing that anyone would neglect such a beautiful animal!
Imagine how the horse feels after a little while when the hooves are reshaped and healed up and get new custom fitted shoes...they are a whole new horse.
I imagine the relief this horse is feeling is equivalent to what i would feel after taking off my 6 inch heels after walking in them for LITERALLY YEARS.
@@XX-rs7sqyou can see him struggling to walk at the correct position at the end, surely will be sore for a while. tremendous relief on the tendon, I'm sure tho
It's crazy he looks just like my stud that my father sold out from under me 3 years ago. I still hold his papers but have no clue what happened to him. Tell you one thing all the work and time I put into him I be pissed if some did that to him.
This made me very happy seeing how his hooves were restored to a comfortable and balanced shape making it easy for him to trot on firmly...you can even notice how his legs were adapted to the overgrown hooves he had before...bless your work fine sir, you're a certified good human being 💯🐎
Having this corrected must have felt good/relieving to the horse… he was so patient and calm… these are those types of skills that are highly overlooked but very necessary…drastic change! Good job!
So yes it feels relieving, but the horse will likely be lame from the soreness of the change. A small small inconvenience for the incredible work they did on him! Bout a week he should be done being sore and a happy guy!
Horses are amazing, they already forgive their owners and will be loyal and do their job as soon as they get home, totally amazing creatures. I take my hat off to the farrier school for being so kind that instead of condemning the owners they encourage them to bring them back regularly. Education is a great tool with love and respect.
Who would let the hoofs grow this long. Im surprised to how calm this horse is for not being worked with. I bet that this will be life changing for this horse.
@@coreywitton9699 uhm...but he doesn't own the horse, right? This is his job/business, he was called for his service, like those youtube channels that fix cow hooves, they don't own the cows. 🤷♀️
I know nothing about horses. Hooves can grow? I thought they are like a person's feet. What about wild horses? They don't have anyone to take care of them and they don't end up with long hooves, is this video real? Maybe this is some diseased horse?
@@henrylee8510 Horse hooves grow like a human's fingernails do. Their anatomy is different from ours though, as their foot has evolved into having this one cloved hoof shape rather than the fingered shape that ours do. Wild horses tend to do much more running than domestic horses do, which wears them down. Humans started shoeing horses with metal horse shoes in order to help protect their hooves if they were ridden a lot or would be used to, for example, frequently draw carts or plow field to make sure their hooves wouldn't grind down too quickly as that would mean that they couldn't be ridden or used to draw or plow until the hooves had recovered, which would take quite a while. You do, however, see cases where would horses also have funky-looking hooves if they've grown more sedentary for whatever reason, though it does happen less. Also, considering that hooves and nails are pretty similar in some sense, you can take a look at humans who have grown their nails to extraordinary lengths. You can see some similarity to the way these hooves looked at the beginning of the video.
@@209alfredo2091 They are what's known as "hot-bloods," meaning they are very energetic, flighty, and move around a lot. I'd suspect this horse has been given some medicine for calm, although years of being trapped in a stall and not being able to walk properly probably also affected his demeanor.
He's a beautiful stud, and has to feel immensely better now that his feet are properly trimmed. It's so frustrating to see so many good horses lame due to neglect, ignorance, and/or lack of compassion.
Yeah honestly I understand people h falling on hard times & not being able to afford things but if that’s the case learn to trim your horse’s hooves yourself. A good file down once a month, even if it’s not perfect, would be a huge improvement over what this stud. experienced.
No idea how this came up in my suggestions, and first time I've ever seen something like this but wow, this guy really knows his stuff and does an excellent job to help this poor animal.
yea I think youtube must be actually throwing random videos around so the system is not so suspicious when you say a word and it pops up a related video everytime 😂
Amazing how patient and understanding the horse was knowing he was finally getting some new shoes 😊 great job on taking care of him and the work that you do 👏
Wow, what an amazing job. I can't believe you got the hoof angle and shape that close to normal in one session. You definitely know what you're doing. I noticed the horse was throwing his feet forward after the hoof "surgery" when he walked, having adapted his walking style for his awfully neglected hooves. It'll take a little time for him to adapt back. Fantastic job. You must get immense satisfaction. People can be so cruel with their neglect.
I dont know much about horses but i noticed that too, i could definitely tell that the horses walking style was kind of off based on how it would be walking with those long round hooves. Looks like it’s trying to roll on its feet when it walks.
@@malibu2.010 that's not true at all. Most horses do not get sedated for hoof trimming. Perhaps most severely neglected horses get sedated? But not regular horses that are used to being handled. That said, this guy seems very calm. Maybe it's an edit job, maybe he feels the relief and knows things are getting better and just let it happen
Remember that the Lord Jesus Christ died on a cross for you because He loves you so much. He then rose up from the dead three days later The Ten Commandments are called the moral law, (most of us are lying thieving blasphemous adulterer at heart and deserve hell) you and I broke the law, Jesus paid the fine. That’s what happened on that cross. By believing that Jesus died on the cross and rose up from the dead 3 days later and not just confessing your sin, but also repenting of all sin you have done and putting all your trust in Him in prayer, He will grant you everlasting life as a free Gift.
Always amazing to see how patiently these horses stand for such an extended treatment. They must've been so uncomfortable for so long and yet they have no qualms about picking up their feet and standing beautifully. I wouldn't be quite so gracious and forgiving.
@@usenamenotallowed I don't think the horses were sedated, and even if they were, are you really going to pretend that keeping a scared animal relaxed and calm while you help it is a bad thing? They're not killing the horse, they're actually improving it's health and quality of life, so even if they were sedating them, I don't think that's a bad thing given the circumstances
@@pvppy-boy Since he was so good to stand there with all of the other horses and activity around, he probably hasn't been handled much or at all in several years, and dropping his "boy parts," especially when walking a bit, I would bet money that there was a nice cocktail in him making the procedure easier on everyone. Even with fairly heavy sedation a horse can stand for the farrier pretty easy. Just because he was neglected doesn't mean he is scared. He probably was well trained in an earlier life before he landed with someone who ignored him (and at least one other horse seen in the background later in the video.)
Anytime a power tool is used on a horse like this for safety reasons alone they would be sedated. That tool vibrates so hard not many animals stand for that. Plus it's just cruel to make them stand for that long on a hard surface even though we are helping. So yes, I'm these instances sedation is very necessary
@Stephanie Palmer And thats perfectly fine. Safer for the horse and the human. I look at it like going to the dentist to get something like impacted wisdom teeth out. They can do it with just the novocaine, but a lot of people prefer a little something extra just so they dont have to see/hear all the power tools and chisels.
I'm crying when I see neglect like this. 😢 thank you so much for helping that poor horse. I cannot believe you were able make the hooves normal in the first round❤
I really like that you included all four hooves in the video, some of them I only see one hoove, but being able to see the whole restoration makes me feel a lot better about the horse
🙀 I’ve never In my life seen a horse hooves like that before! That honestly breaks my heart. It’s so good to see that there’s wonderful people like u guys in the world making a difference in a beautiful way! Keep up the amazing work! 💙💜💙💜
What a wonderful gift you have given this beautiful horse. Not only the new shoes, but the time and love spent must have truly touched his heart! I learned a lot and I am very impressed with your skill and knowledge of your craft- but most of all, your kindness. What a guy.
Horseshoeing videos are one of the most satisfying - its art and kindness wrapped into one. The trust the animals shows and stays still is amazing- and the visual satisfaction of the horse being at its comfortable best brings so much joy. God bless these guys!
@@steven401ytxwe hire Farriers for our mini donkeys, they have to work a lot of animals to make a living. It's a hard job even if the animal cooperates. If it doesn't, it's money hard earned, because it can be a battle of wills. We have a good one that comes out on a regular schedule now and it's well worth it. One of our donkeys had long hooves when we got him, not this long, but it was bending his ankles too much. He's doing great now.
On the one hand, I guess it's good you guys have the opportunity to teach your student how to deal with serious cases like this. On the other, it's appalling that you get so MANY of them. God bless you for the work you do.
I hope the people responsible for allowing this beautiful animal to get into such a terrible situation are punished. That person needs to have to walk just like this poor animal! Horrible animal cruelty.
I figure most of these horses are coming from slaughter houses or feed lots...just seems that way to me. Hopefully they can be rehomed or at least put somewhere with adequate care.
@@poisonapple6138 these horses really are purebred arabians. Every single cell of them show off the purity of this breed so they don't come from feed lots let alone from slaughter houses. Plus, as the video title says, they are stud stallions. The one in the background is in the same state. This beeing said, I will never understand how people can neglect their animals. They even don't imagine the suffering the horses undergo. If only they'd let their toes nails overgrowing they would run to the pedicure as soon as possible because of pain.

Unbelievable hoof trim. I'm still in shock at his condition. If you can't afford to take care of your animal then find someone who can! Ty for the hoof lesson.
Excellent work my friend! Unbelievable how long this poor horse has been neglected, soft grass or not that doesn't grow that out of control in a few weeks. Thank you for working so diligently to restore him. The experienced eye sees the cuts I advance so no further harm is done. Bless you for restoring him
The horse is being so patient, he probably knows he being helped and he'll feel so much better afterwards! 🥰 I can't believe someone would let this happen to such a beautiful soul! 😢
If they're Arabians, they were worth a lot at one time, so they would have been cared for. One of mine fell asleep and actually fell over. My farrier had never seen that before!
Lenora, there's a video on RUclips with a sheep having longer hooves than this horse , and when they were trimmed the sheep would lift up it's legs high , but the weight of those hooves was no longer there so the sheep had to get used to it again, I'm sure if felt tremendous relief though.
@@williamgrimberg2510 I mean trimming in general costs at least $150, so this could easily go for a at least $400 imo (I google searched this + I ride horses)
This video popped up in my feed for some reason but wow what a watch, firstly I was appalled that someone had let the horses hooves get soooo bad and then the wonderful work you performed on the hooves to make them look so much better and comfortable for the horse is truly a skilled art. Thanks for sharing and great job.😊
I haven't spent much time around horses but it amazes me how calm they are through this whole process, even the bit when using the saw. Excellent work!
I'm guessing this horse is sedated. And i believe that it would be far to uncomfortable for this horse to go through all of this while not sedated to be honest.
Great video and great transformation! I know it isn't practical but it would be so satisfying to see the results after about 4 weeks, when he's had a chance for his muscles, tendons and ligaments to re-adjust to a more normal posture and he's had a chance to get used to walking normally, without the risk of stabbing his front feet with those long back feet. Right afterwards, I'm sure he was walking better--and certainly feeling better--but you could still see the abnormal movement pattern imposed by years of neglect.
No surprise that he's four legged lame: months of muscle and joint distortion. Should have a good liniment massage and rub down all over and standing wraps to support joints and ease pain. Some Bute wouldn't go amiss either.
Keeping in contact with the client/whoever purchases the horse can be one way to see the transformation. Simply asking to send in a video shot on your phone or a camera would be one way to keep tabs. Of course, you would need permission to use it in a video or have it as part of the work contract as I'm sure the video captured here was as well. Businesses do before-and-afters all the time as a way to advertise their skill and ability, it's not entirely impractical. I was thinking the same thing myself as I watched the horse jaunt around a bit right at the end of the video.
I sat here in sheer amazement at the incredible job you did for this little horse. You are not merely a farrier, sir. You are an artist! I bet you feel amazing after helping a horse like this. God bless you and your wonderful work. You probably saved this horse's life!
@@SMcCaskill Maybe not because I see another horse with hooves just as bad in the background waiting for a trim. So it might just be that the owners are finally trimming them
Kudos for turning that misshapen, horribly neglected hoof into something somewhat ‘normal’. Shame on the owners - there is NO EXCUSE. Does the horse in the background come from the same place? Was this horse sedated?? I sure hope he (and the horse in the background) are part of a rescue organization and they never have to endure this neglect / abuse ever again.
I don't know much about horses but how do wild horses look after their feet, everyone in the comments is saying alot of the horses on this channel are neglected but wouldn't horses in the wild have the most neglect in this area?
when you see hoofs like this, the neglect is actually being kept in a stall 24/7 where they can't walk around and naturally wear their hooves down the right way... so it's double neglect. horses in the wild of course don't have this problem because they're moving
@@goldenshore6222 gracias por tu explicación, *tengo una inquietud,* al caballito NO le duele cuando le pasaron la sierra?? 😥😥😭😭😢😢 y NO le duele cuando con esas pinzas le sacan pedazos ?? 😢😢😢
Backbreaking, labor intensive job. These farriers are magicians when it comes to healthy hoofs. I know it is even painful after the trim and the horse has to adjust to their new posture and feel of trimmed hooves. Beautiful transformation.
I've been shoein' for over 65 yrs, that stud had the longest hoof i've ever seen... we work alike... great job thnx for your teaching here on utube... most young farriers i've seen nowadays are short on knowledge of what they are doing
you know, its hearing this that makes my guilt all the worse for ignoring a case of neglect years ago when i was just freshly an adult. I was bordering on homeless and the guy I was living with was an older guy who had a couple of horses boarded in his private barn and the owners hadn't been taking care of it and he didn't have the money to get it reshoed or anything and he wasn't a farrier. That horse had hooves easily twice as long as this one and they were curling around in a spiral. I visited it just once and saw how it had to trudge through a foot of thick mud on those hooves and I was so devastated I never went and visited it again. I wanted to call someone so bad, but I was only 19 and had no idea who to even contact and I was afraid I would end up homeless because it would be hard not to know it was me who called and the guy was so poor, a fine could have made him lose his house. It is honestly my biggest regret in life. I had no idea it was a bad enough level of neglect to be unique to someone with your experience. I hope to god that horse got help or passed peacefully because it was in absolutely miserable conditions. I've never talked about this because I'm so ashamed I didn't do anything
@@toyotaecw cuz you could easily take off too much hoof, with horses, you need to be a lot more careful on how much you take off, also, horses spook easily, there are horses that don't like electric machinery near them, due to the noise.
Who ever neglected these animals so badly should be punished. That is unless there is a good reason but I can't think of how this could be the case. So sad.
Not a horse person, but appreciate all animals. Very cool and satisfying to see expert animal care takers giving them better lives. Great job and keep it up!
Seen hoofs growing into leg of neighbors horse. Said horse could walk after getting hoofs fixed. I saw legs bleeding from trying to walk. Mean people for a neighbor.
What I found fascinating was how just uncomfortable the horse appeared with his old shoes or rather army boots. After you worked on the first hoove he started to realize that this was a good thing and settle down and even when you were done which was a wonderful looking job by the way he still walked tentatively especially with his hind legs because he was expecting to feel the ungainly shoes that he was used to. It was a rewarding experience to observe that. Thank you so much you have a good day. Best regards, Bob from Virginia USA
@@samanthagarbettcharles4205 I knew that I just spoke wrong I'm not sleeping and after 3-4 days I got a little goofy but thank you for pointing that out and when I mentioned the army boots is because they sure did look like army boots.

@@bootykraken7177 the horse did not look tranquilized to me. Tranquilized horses usually have their heads hanging down, and if male (and this was a stud), their "junk" becomes unsheathed and droopy.
What a calm temperament. I’d have expected An Arabian stud who hadn’t had his hooves touched in who knows how long, would have been high spirited. Beautiful boy. I hope he finds a good home. He’ll make some owner lucky.
The patience this horse had is astounding considering you were taking power tools to its feet! He was so used to his old hooves that he still walked like he had the extra hoof on there even after the trim 😢 Amazing work you all are doing! On a side note, do you think that your videos could include more footage on all of the feet - especially the carving away. I find that to be the most satisfactory and also the shortest part! Thanks!!
We use to have a horse that LOVED hoof trims and grooming sessions. Damn horse would fall asleep during the trimming and grooming and we would have to give her a slight smack on the shoulder to wake her up or else she would fall over usually toward the person trimming or grooming her. She was a very gentle horse, very protective, and 100% a beautiful horse that just couldn't be matched by many of these others. Still miss her from time to time, she was the only horse I ever felt safe riding and being near (besides during the trim sessions of course)
🥰 lol, as a horse owner and lover I really love this. Sorry to say, my boy was thrown with his first shoeing because he slightly resisted the left hind foot. My dad and I both regretted choosing the farrier. After that we got a really good one who "talked" him out of his fear. He was a damn magician. Praise to those who have the patience and understanding to fix these horses. ❤❤❤
@misternoname people say Wildhorses just run enough but I think they just don't have as nutritious diets which plays a big part into the hoof not breaking down or wearing down as easily. My dogs paws would be ruined if I didn't trim his nails every day, and people claim to just walk your dog on cement but nope, doesn't work. Might keep the nails from curling around the paw if you neglect your dog.
I'm about 3/4 of the way through the video and am absolutely amazed as to how perfect the final hooves look. I would have thought it wasn't possible in one operation.
Several things here amaze me. 1. is that someone allowed these hooves to get to this point. 2. Is watching you just saw saw the ends off (mighty cool). 3. That you got these hooves looking almost normal! Say what?! That's incredible. That horse has to feel 1000X better!! Incredible job. Incredible video.
Such a beautiful horse and so well-behaved while you were taking care of his feet. It's almost like he knew you were there to save him. Thank goodness.
He neglects his own horse for months so he can film this video for millions of views Despicable practice I'd say RUclips greed is fostering this kind of toxic culture
@@caralosmendezgomez9048 sure every single horse is always tranquilized? I was trying to just say something nice and I thought it was a beautiful experience and glad they didn't have to like fight the horse in order to get his shit taken care of.

That is one happy horse. When I was a reining farrier apprentice we never had one that long. These horses you guys are trimming/shoeing with long hooves like that are in great hands and I hope they all go to a good loving home after they are fully rehabbed
Thank you for the demonstration with the bone, for how the hoof is now structured. That horse was remarkably quiet, for handling the reciprocating saw, standing so long on three legs with an an already imbalanced set of hooves., ignoring a loudly barking dog, etc. Really impressed how you are able to re-image what a hoof is supposed to function like, form as after they are so far off normal. Pleased to see the "new feet" walk at the end, as he felt how different it was and that he could start changing his movements.

It was always immensely satisfying to find the proper hoof under all that growth and get the horses standing correct again. Many farriers do not have this mans ability to bring the hoof all the way back and think you have to do it gradually. You do not. These horses were immediately relieved and lucky to finally be in the care of a professional. Bravo.
I was afraid it would make the horse sore with that change. Good to hear it doesn’t.
Thank you for the incite from an expert. I was wondering about that and you answered my question.
I get that it's basically fingernails, but the strain on the tendons had to be immense, that's why I would vote for gradual change, maybe over a week or two, just to be safe. There might be a tendency to run with new abilities, which could easily damage a leg. You could stall them instead, I suppose.
After this cutting, will he require more hoof care in the coming weeks/months than another horse who has been trimmed on a appropriate schedule?
@@sharksport01 yes, I believe so...hoof care is about restoring the proper angle of the coffin bone to restore normal flexion of the tendons in the leg. You can shoe a horse to improve this or adjust as needed.
I'm amazed at how calm that horse is when it obviously has little to no experience with having it's hooves cared for. I'm sure he is so relieved
maybe just it felt that good!
Probably knows he is being helped
It might've also been sedated which would be understandable if the horse isn't used to humans... might be safer this way

10,000 plus years of selective breading, we ate the ones that acted up.
If the owners did this, they should be fined for animal abuse. Unreal! Fantastic work at the end! Looked like nice hooves!!! Bless you for the relief....I would have been furious!
I just have enormous respect for anybody that is brilliant at their job, no matter if its manual work or something highly technical. That was just great to watch and the horse just had his life made immeasurably better.
My thoughts exactly. 😊
I 3rd that notion, any time I see ppl flourish in their craft it makes me wanna learn instantly 👌🏾😊
I totally agree! This artist did an amazing job on that stud's hooves!
They can be both ya know, just cuz us manual labor guys make it look easy. Just busting ur 🥎s I know what u mean. 😉
Look up how much they could actually make and you’ll realize why some work very hard, but you’re right regardless of whatever you choose to do for a living you should do your best.
I was so saddened and almost overwhelmed at the beginning of this video.
But the ferrier made this horse so happy. It honestly looks like art when he was finished!
Disturbing that anyone would neglect such a beautiful animal!
Imagine how the horse feels after a little while when the hooves are reshaped and healed up and get new custom fitted shoes...they are a whole new horse.
I agree :)
yes, I thought the same... he knew exactly how to sculpt a healthy hoof out of that mess
This could of been a rescue horse as well
✳️ ✳️ ✳️ ✳️ ✳️
I imagine the relief this horse is feeling is equivalent to what i would feel after taking off my 6 inch heels after walking in them for LITERALLY YEARS.
Might act be difficult to walk now. The horse is so used to neglect that he probably has to regain strength in its ankles...
@@XX-rs7sqyou can see him struggling to walk at the correct position at the end, surely will be sore for a while. tremendous relief on the tendon, I'm sure tho
Omg this poor gorgeous creature!!!
Pretty much, yeah! Plus, you'd have damage in your joints and tendons that would need to heal
So....why do you wear 6" heels then?
The admiration you have for the horses really shows
This horse is so well behaved and decent throughout this procedure. It shows that at one time he may have been very well cared for.
Probably drugged up too. They gave him the good stuff.
WoW.... This was hard to watch...
It's crazy he looks just like my stud that my father sold out from under me 3 years ago. I still hold his papers but have no clue what happened to him. Tell you one thing all the work and time I put into him I be pissed if some did that to him.
@@JonBecker81 And probably in so much pain, depressed, & hopeless, he cdnt imagine it being any worse. PRISON for animal cruelty!
They get used to it from previous 'manicures'. I've seen this aplenty growing up.
This made me very happy seeing how his hooves were restored to a comfortable and balanced shape making it easy for him to trot on firmly...you can even notice how his legs were adapted to the overgrown hooves he had before...bless your work fine sir, you're a certified good human being 💯🐎
LOVELY
I thought they gave it cowboy boots for fun

Having this corrected must have felt good/relieving to the horse… he was so patient and calm… these are those types of skills that are highly overlooked but very necessary…drastic change! Good job!
Pets don't understand human language but I'm sure they can get when a human trully wants to help them. The best outcome for a poor suffering horse.
@@kiaraclement-martin5508 yeah!
So yes it feels relieving, but the horse will likely be lame from the soreness of the change. A small small inconvenience for the incredible work they did on him! Bout a week he should be done being sore and a happy guy!
Horses are amazing, they already forgive their owners and will be loyal and do their job as soon as they get home, totally amazing creatures. I take my hat off to the farrier school for being so kind that instead of condemning the owners they encourage them to bring them back regularly. Education is a great tool with love and respect.
It’s amazing just how calm the horse is. I’m sure he’s very happy! Great job well done!

Who would let the hoofs grow this long. Im surprised to how calm this horse is for not being worked with. I bet that this will be life changing for this horse.
Left this long for RUclips. I'd almost bet my life on it. Hope I'm wrong thought
Though
@@coreywitton9699 uhm...but he doesn't own the horse, right? This is his job/business, he was called for his service, like those youtube channels that fix cow hooves, they don't own the cows. 🤷♀️
I know nothing about horses. Hooves can grow? I thought they are like a person's feet.
What about wild horses? They don't have anyone to take care of them and they don't end up with long hooves, is this video real? Maybe this is some diseased horse?
@@henrylee8510 Horse hooves grow like a human's fingernails do. Their anatomy is different from ours though, as their foot has evolved into having this one cloved hoof shape rather than the fingered shape that ours do.
Wild horses tend to do much more running than domestic horses do, which wears them down. Humans started shoeing horses with metal horse shoes in order to help protect their hooves if they were ridden a lot or would be used to, for example, frequently draw carts or plow field to make sure their hooves wouldn't grind down too quickly as that would mean that they couldn't be ridden or used to draw or plow until the hooves had recovered, which would take quite a while. You do, however, see cases where would horses also have funky-looking hooves if they've grown more sedentary for whatever reason, though it does happen less.
Also, considering that hooves and nails are pretty similar in some sense, you can take a look at humans who have grown their nails to extraordinary lengths. You can see some similarity to the way these hooves looked at the beginning of the video.
I love that you explained that you have to take the heel down also. Not just the toe. And I love that you showed all 4 feet done. GREAT VIDEO!!!

He’s Arabian, a stud and neglected so I imagine they used plenty of sedation.

@@joellel3527Are Arabian horses harder to work with?
@@joellel3527not too much sedation coz he was standing up ok....maybe a bit of muscle relaxant
@@209alfredo2091 They are what's known as "hot-bloods," meaning they are very energetic, flighty, and move around a lot. I'd suspect this horse has been given some medicine for calm, although years of being trapped in a stall and not being able to walk properly probably also affected his demeanor.
He's a beautiful stud, and has to feel immensely better now that his feet are properly trimmed. It's so frustrating to see so many good horses lame due to neglect, ignorance, and/or lack of compassion.
Yeah honestly I understand people h falling on hard times & not being able to afford things but if that’s the case learn to trim your horse’s hooves yourself. A good file down once a month, even if it’s not perfect, would be a huge improvement over what this stud. experienced.
Never blame on intention what can easily be explained on ignorance and stupidity.

True. Rocking horse restored back to horse.

No idea how this came up in my suggestions, and first time I've ever seen something like this but wow, this guy really knows his stuff and does an excellent job to help this poor animal.
Ya ..Ive never looked up or said anything about a horse lately and this was suggested..I'm glad I watched it ...poor 🐴🐎
Same here, but now may watch other videos on this subject.
Owned horses for years and it's very satisfying watching a farrier do this. A bonus my border collie would love a piece of hoof like that
yea I think youtube must be actually throwing random videos around so the system is not so suspicious when you say a word and it pops up a related video everytime 😂
Same 😂
Thank you for helping the horse, I sure he is a lot happier!
Amazing how patient and understanding the horse was knowing he was finally getting some new shoes 😊 great job on taking care of him and the work that you do 👏
New shoes 😊
Wow, what an amazing job. I can't believe you got the hoof angle and shape that close to normal in one session. You definitely know what you're doing. I noticed the horse was throwing his feet forward after the hoof "surgery" when he walked, having adapted his walking style for his awfully neglected hooves. It'll take a little time for him to adapt back. Fantastic job. You must get immense satisfaction. People can be so cruel with their neglect.
I dont know much about horses but i noticed that too, i could definitely tell that the horses walking style was kind of off based on how it would be walking with those long round hooves. Looks like it’s trying to roll on its feet when it walks.
I'm amazed at how calm these horses are. My dogs hear a power tool and they're on their way to Canada, devil take the hindmost.
Idk for a fact that this guy practices sedating the horse prior but from what google says often times horses are sedated for their hoof trimming
@@malibu2.010 that's not true at all. Most horses do not get sedated for hoof trimming. Perhaps most severely neglected horses get sedated? But not regular horses that are used to being handled. That said, this guy seems very calm. Maybe it's an edit job, maybe he feels the relief and knows things are getting better and just let it happen

Remember that the Lord Jesus Christ died on a cross for you because He loves you so much. He then rose up from the dead three days later
The Ten Commandments are called the moral law, (most of us are lying thieving blasphemous adulterer at heart and deserve hell) you and I broke the law, Jesus paid the fine. That’s what happened on that cross.
By believing that Jesus died on the cross and rose up from the dead 3 days later and not just confessing your sin, but also repenting of all sin you have done and putting all your trust in Him in prayer, He will grant you everlasting life as a free Gift.
@@dove3853 but we weren't even born when Jesus died, how could he have dies for my sin?
Always amazing to see how patiently these horses stand for such an extended treatment. They must've been so uncomfortable for so long and yet they have no qualms about picking up their feet and standing beautifully. I wouldn't be quite so gracious and forgiving.
@@usenamenotallowed I don't think the horses were sedated, and even if they were, are you really going to pretend that keeping a scared animal relaxed and calm while you help it is a bad thing? They're not killing the horse, they're actually improving it's health and quality of life, so even if they were sedating them, I don't think that's a bad thing given the circumstances
@@pvppy-boy Since he was so good to stand there with all of the other horses and activity around, he probably hasn't been handled much or at all in several years, and dropping his "boy parts," especially when walking a bit, I would bet money that there was a nice cocktail in him making the procedure easier on everyone. Even with fairly heavy sedation a horse can stand for the farrier pretty easy. Just because he was neglected doesn't mean he is scared. He probably was well trained in an earlier life before he landed with someone who ignored him (and at least one other horse seen in the background later in the video.)
That's the thing that hurts the most...these poor abused creatures still have such trust . Drugs or no, their eye shows that trust.
Anytime a power tool is used on a horse like this for safety reasons alone they would be sedated. That tool vibrates so hard not many animals stand for that. Plus it's just cruel to make them stand for that long on a hard surface even though we are helping. So yes, I'm these instances sedation is very necessary
@Stephanie Palmer
And thats perfectly fine. Safer for the horse and the human.
I look at it like going to the dentist to get something like impacted wisdom teeth out. They can do it with just the novocaine, but a lot of people prefer a little something extra just so they dont have to see/hear all the power tools and chisels.
That horse must feel so much better with the job you have done. Fascinating to watch you work, a real craftsman working magic.
The horse probably won't feel the effects immediately, a big hoof change can leave them sore. But in a few days that horse is going to feel brand new.
I think the farrier's wrists were probably a little sore after this❤

They do it because it pays very well
@@steven401ytxwe hire Farriers for our mini donkeys, they have to work a lot of animals to make a living. It's a hard job even if the animal cooperates. If it doesn't, it's money hard earned, because it can be a battle of wills. We have a good one that comes out on a regular schedule now and it's well worth it. One of our donkeys had long hooves when we got him, not this long, but it was bending his ankles too much. He's doing great now.
On the one hand, I guess it's good you guys have the opportunity to teach your student how to deal with serious cases like this. On the other, it's appalling that you get so MANY of them. God bless you for the work you do.
I hope the people responsible for allowing this beautiful animal to get into such a terrible situation are punished. That person needs to have to walk just like this poor animal! Horrible animal cruelty.
I figure most of these horses are coming from slaughter houses or feed lots...just seems that way to me. Hopefully they can be rehomed or at least put somewhere with adequate care.
I think of how sore that hoof inside due to change of angles and how long to adjust. Hope treatment beyond a good hoof job.
@@poisonapple6138 these horses really are purebred arabians. Every single cell of them show off the purity of this breed so they don't come from feed lots let alone from slaughter houses. Plus, as the video title says, they are stud stallions. The one in the background is in the same state.
This beeing said, I will never understand how people can neglect their animals. They even don't imagine the suffering the horses undergo. If only they'd let their toes nails overgrowing they would run to the pedicure as soon as possible because of pain.

How do wild horses deal with this?
@@conpa18danyRunning more which grinds down their hooves
@@conpa18dany😂
@@conpa18dany Domestic horses reside in grass pastures which generally do not have enough rough terrain to wear down hooves. Additionally, they do not have to run as much and stand idle in stalls. Wild Horses on the other hand traverse over rocks, sticks, gravel, grass, etc and run quite often to travel or escape predators.

The horse is being so patient, he probably knows he being helped and he'll feel so much better afterwards! 🥰 I can't believe someone would let this happen to such a beautiful soul! 😢
Or he is sedated during this procedure.
If they're Arabians, they were worth a lot at one time, so they would have been cared for. One of mine fell asleep and actually fell over. My farrier had never seen that before!
🥰🥰🥰🥰
Lenora, there's a video on RUclips with a sheep having longer hooves than this horse , and when they were trimmed the sheep would lift up it's legs high , but the weight of those hooves was no longer there so the sheep had to get used to it again, I'm sure if felt tremendous relief though.
Probably sedated. A direct kick from a horse ain't pretty.
Look at the horse at the end. He is walking with such relief. He is nickering and happier. Thank you for helping the horses.

@@eliajoe22if you look it up it’s actually more dangerous to sedate horses. They will wake up and knock your lights out.
@@404s4 um no. I work on sedated horses regularly. It’s definitely safer, especially in cases like this.
@@rockinu440 can they still stand up while sedated?!
Great video and great transformation!
I know it isn't practical but it would be so satisfying to see the results after about 4 weeks, when he's had a chance for his muscles, tendons and ligaments to re-adjust to a more normal posture and he's had a chance to get used to walking normally, without the risk of stabbing his front feet with those long back feet. Right afterwards, I'm sure he was walking better--and certainly feeling better--but you could still see the abnormal movement pattern imposed by years of neglect.
No surprise that he's four legged lame: months of muscle and joint distortion. Should have a good liniment massage and rub down all over and standing wraps to support joints and ease pain. Some Bute wouldn't go amiss either.
Keeping in contact with the client/whoever purchases the horse can be one way to see the transformation. Simply asking to send in a video shot on your phone or a camera would be one way to keep tabs. Of course, you would need permission to use it in a video or have it as part of the work contract as I'm sure the video captured here was as well. Businesses do before-and-afters all the time as a way to advertise their skill and ability, it's not entirely impractical. I was thinking the same thing myself as I watched the horse jaunt around a bit right at the end of the video.

I don't know much about horses but how do wild horses look after their feet, everyone in the comments is saying alot of the horses on this channel are neglected but wouldn't horses in the wild have the most neglect in this area?
when you see hoofs like this, the neglect is actually being kept in a stall 24/7 where they can't walk around and naturally wear their hooves down the right way... so it's double neglect. horses in the wild of course don't have this problem because they're moving

Probably also a little tranq
Backbreaking, labor intensive job. These farriers are magicians when it comes to healthy hoofs. I know it is even painful after the trim and the horse has to adjust to their new posture and feel of trimmed hooves. Beautiful transformation.
I've been shoein' for over 65 yrs, that stud had the longest hoof i've ever seen... we work alike... great job thnx for your teaching here on utube... most young farriers i've seen nowadays are short on knowledge of what they are doing
you know, its hearing this that makes my guilt all the worse for ignoring a case of neglect years ago when i was just freshly an adult. I was bordering on homeless and the guy I was living with was an older guy who had a couple of horses boarded in his private barn and the owners hadn't been taking care of it and he didn't have the money to get it reshoed or anything and he wasn't a farrier. That horse had hooves easily twice as long as this one and they were curling around in a spiral. I visited it just once and saw how it had to trudge through a foot of thick mud on those hooves and I was so devastated I never went and visited it again. I wanted to call someone so bad, but I was only 19 and had no idea who to even contact and I was afraid I would end up homeless because it would be hard not to know it was me who called and the guy was so poor, a fine could have made him lose his house. It is honestly my biggest regret in life. I had no idea it was a bad enough level of neglect to be unique to someone with your experience. I hope to god that horse got help or passed peacefully because it was in absolutely miserable conditions. I've never talked about this because I'm so ashamed I didn't do anything
Why not just use an angle grinder with a disc similar to what cattle hoof trimmers use? You’d shave hours off your time.

What I found fascinating was how just uncomfortable the horse appeared with his old shoes or rather army boots.

Wow! Really, this is a very nice & real fact, Long Hooves' on Arabian Stud Horse Restoration proper skill in this best picturised Vlog video sharing by you for each & every, your this U tube channel viewers.
What's shocking, besides the condition of his hooves, is that he stood there that long without fuss! And, you did a beautiful job; I'm glad you could help that poor animal feel better!
@Another youtube account This crap never ends acctually I think it was the horse tranquilizer running through his veins
I thought the same thing! Awesome job, that was incrdible!
@@bootykraken7177 the horse did not look tranquilized to me. Tranquilized horses usually have their heads hanging down, and if male (and this was a stud), their "junk" becomes unsheathed and droopy.
@@RachaelLewis68 yeah it is, 11:01
@@ScotchIrishHoundsman yes, it kind of was.
You can see just how happy and proud the horse was to walk on comfortable feet again after all that time! Excellent work, very educational material.
You did such amazing job restoring the hooves of that poor horse 👏!!! You just made the live of that horse so much happier!!! Well done 👏!!!
Золотые руки! Будь благословен! Низкий поклон,мира и добра твоему дому,уважаемый мастер!!!❤
i just know that the horse feels so relieved by this. i’m so grateful for farriers who do this no matter how time consuming it is!
Нам всем иногда нужен педикюр😊
As a former horse owner it brought tears to my eyes to see that. Thank you!!!
What a calm temperament. I’d have expected An Arabian stud who hadn’t had his hooves touched in who knows how long, would have been high spirited. Beautiful boy. I hope he finds a good home. He’ll make some owner lucky.
Definitely mildly sedated for sure.
Thank you for helping this horse to restoring him. Very kind ❤
Wow, I am so impressed that you can make anything remotely into a hoof from that, I wouldn’t know where to begin. Well done!
The patience this horse had is astounding considering you were taking power tools to its feet! He was so used to his old hooves that he still walked like he had the extra hoof on there even after the trim 😢 Amazing work you all are doing!
On a side note, do you think that your videos could include more footage on all of the feet - especially the carving away. I find that to be the most satisfactory and also the shortest part! Thanks!!
I totally agree with you
Yes, longer videos please
We use to have a horse that LOVED hoof trims and grooming sessions. Damn horse would fall asleep during the trimming and grooming and we would have to give her a slight smack on the shoulder to wake her up or else she would fall over usually toward the person trimming or grooming her. She was a very gentle horse, very protective, and 100% a beautiful horse that just couldn't be matched by many of these others. Still miss her from time to time, she was the only horse I ever felt safe riding and being near (besides during the trim sessions of course)
@misternonamethey run many kilometers a day across a variety of surfaces to keep their hooves in good condition
@misternonamelike dogs if you walk them regularly on pavement 👌🏻
My 115lb Bully grinds em down while he’s pulling me down the street lol
🥰 lol, as a horse owner and lover I really love this. Sorry to say, my boy was thrown with his first shoeing because he slightly resisted the left hind foot. My dad and I both regretted choosing the farrier. After that we got a really good one who "talked" him out of his fear. He was a damn magician. Praise to those who have the patience and understanding to fix these horses. ❤❤❤
Sounds like me during a pedicure or massage 😂
@misternoname people say Wildhorses just run enough but I think they just don't have as nutritious diets which plays a big part into the hoof not breaking down or wearing down as easily. My dogs paws would be ruined if I didn't trim his nails every day, and people claim to just walk your dog on cement but nope, doesn't work. Might keep the nails from curling around the paw if you neglect your dog.
I'm about 3/4 of the way through the video and am absolutely amazed as to how perfect the final hooves look. I would have thought it wasn't possible in one operation.
Several things here amaze me. 1. is that someone allowed these hooves to get to this point. 2. Is watching you just saw saw the ends off (mighty cool). 3. That you got these hooves looking almost normal! Say what?! That's incredible. That horse has to feel 1000X better!! Incredible job. Incredible video.
Such a beautiful horse and so well-behaved while you were taking care of his feet. It's almost like he knew you were there to save him. Thank goodness.
He knew ❤️
He neglects his own horse for months so he can film this video for millions of views
Despicable practice I'd say
RUclips greed is fostering this kind of toxic culture
nope horse knew nothing, they have a tranquilizer for those cases ketamine
@@구독자500명되면이같은 receipts? Please explain to me what information you use to come to this conclusion.
@@caralosmendezgomez9048 sure every single horse is always tranquilized? I was trying to just say something nice and I thought it was a beautiful experience and glad they didn't have to like fight the horse in order to get his shit taken care of. Thanks for taking my nice sentiment and turning it into drug addiction for a horse or something negative and wierd
That is one happy horse. When I was a reining farrier apprentice we never had one that long. These horses you guys are trimming/shoeing with long hooves like that are in great hands and I hope they all go to a good loving home after they are fully rehabbed
How could anyone treat a beautiful animal like this so badly?
This guy was my instructor at Oklahoma Horseshoeing School in 2018. Great information and another beautiful restoration Riley!! 👍🏼👍🏼
Figured this was a school. Wondered Where. Thank you.
Thank you for the demonstration with the bone, for how the hoof is now structured. That horse was remarkably quiet, for handling the reciprocating saw, standing so long on three legs with an an already imbalanced set of hooves., ignoring a loudly barking dog, etc. Really impressed how you are able to re-image what a hoof is supposed to function like, form as after they are so far off normal. Pleased to see the "new feet" walk at the end, as he felt how different it was and that he could start changing his movements.
И гриву расчесали) очень красивое и элегантное животное!
Повезло лошадке попасть в руки настоящему мастеру
It is hard to believe anyone can neglect an animal in this way...
God Bless You for helping this horse!!!!
Cant believe people let this happen to these beautiful animals
Good job mate, it must be fulfilling to do such an incredible job
what happens in nature with them?
@@schwarmi9804 in nature they keep running a lot so their feet stay in shape bcz of all the grinding and all with the ground , but in captivity we need to take care of them as they dont run that much
@@schwarmi9804 In nature they not live that long . All apex predator out there always hunt on the weak and old
@@goblincomic4522 There are no apex predators that could threaten a horse on the Arabian peninsula and as the previous post said, this doesn’t happen to horses in the wild
@@schwarmi9804 It's like dogs. If they can run a lot, you won't ever have to clip their nails.
Why in our world would someone neglect this gorgeous horse??? And there's another one waiting for his turn in the background.😥.
It's an act of love to help heal this horse.❤🐎🇺🇸
This farrier's skill is fascinating to watch.
Before & after is incredible.
Excellent work sir! You are a gift.
Приятно смотреть на работу мастера, человека своего дела. Молодец.
Это что за хозяин такой, что так запустил жеребчика.
So was , ich sehe das erste Mal.лошадка спокойная как такое могло случиться не понятно.Видел лошадей которые стояли зиму в загоне, они за это время дичали , другими словами не хотели снова в узду.
Действительно)
И не знал что бывают такие запущенные копыта. Что за хозяин такой... Конь вообще не гулял что ли...
@@КритическийОдуплятор Может это болезнь у них какая. Но это я так предполагаю. На самом деле не знаю. У диких лошадей ведь такого не бывает. Видимо должно истираться от хотьбы.
It’s a new life for that horse! Bless you for that, and everyone learning to do the same!
