Recently discovered your channel. Excellent work. I’m now in total awe of the generations that used horses exclusively. I imagine the tools and techniques have progressively improved over the decades?
thanks for explaining what thrush is. i'm not a horse guy, you have mentioned thrush before, but never gave a complete answer. i like watching your videos.
@@isaTthrush is a fungal infection called candida caused by an in balance of bacteria, it loves warm damp environments. Babies get it in their mouths, women and men in their nether regions, and horses in their frogs.
Really good to see you work on those hooves. Just curious, but do you have to sterilise your tools after working on hooves with thrush like that? Can it be passed on to another horse or is it just from the hooves being wet for too long that it grows?
I love it when you explain to us the details of what you were doing the before and then the after pictures of the horses and walk away because it’s give us a view of what they would like and now they have a relief of the pain
You are doing an amazing job for these horses. You really seem to know exactly what you are doing, and if unsure you seek the advise from other professionals to get the job done. It shows that you truly care about each and every horse you work on. Keep up the great work! Good Farriers are hard to find 😊😊😊
Hi , watching from Montreal , Canada 🇨🇦 , this is extremely physical work 😮😮 I see your hands which is very young and listening to the mature voice and the way you take the time to explain everything makes me think you must be over 40 yrs old based on voice but I’m sure you are much younger than that , anyways great work , I don’t know anything about horses and the trimming they need which brings me to this question , what about the wild horses since no body takes care of them , what happens when their hoof grows as shown in some videos they are under pressure and pain ??? Thanks for the videos as they are very educational for me and learn about horses too , much love from Canada 🇨🇦
Wild horses maintain their hooves by moving long distances, 20 to 40 miles (30 to 60 km) a day, over rough terrains. This keeps their hooves healthy by building hard hooves that do not need shoeing and wearing down (trimming) the hoof, which prevents overgrowth.
She is the most beautiful paint that I have ever seen!! I really wish one day I can see another one just like this in person. I totally respect and appreciate for all that you do for the horses. Thank you so much.❤😊🐴
I love your videos! When I was in high school, a long time ago..I went with our local farrier, as his assistant... your videos remind me of those wonderful times, but it would seem that the science and art of horseshoeing has developed far beyond what I remember! so fascinating, keep up the good work caring for those wonderful horses..
Wow! I Love this video! You explain everything so well! Im not a horse gal, but ive seen my friend's horses get trimmed twice but i was too shy to ask questions or say anything 😅 im hoping to learn to ride this summer though 😊
Question: Since thrush is anaerobic, wouldn't applying the impression material, then covering the frog with a shoe cause a lack of oxygen that actually allows the thrush to continue? I have a mare, she's barefoot and has thrush and a central sulcus infection. We had a wet and miserable winter here in New England, and I've been battling her thrush for months. I can't stall her because she kicks the stall walls and has damaged her hooves before, even with stall mats on the walls, so she's in a dry lot , (its finally dry here) with free access to a run in. I use the copper granules as a dusting after her foot has been picked and then soaked for 5-10 minutes in chlorhexidine. I've tried creams (human) that treat fungal and bacterial infections pressed into the frog, then covered by the copper granules. It's taking forever to clear up! My vet said to continue the chlorhexidine soaks, but to also use Today, or Tomorrow, a mastitis treatment for cows that I haven't tried yet. What is your suggestion?
I had horses at one time. I was always there for the farrier. I really liked watching them shoe my horse and also I paid them when they were finished. My farrier taught me a lot about trimming horses. He also showed me what to do if my horse loosened a shoe until he could get there to reset it.
Always love your videos, lots of information great audio and video, keep up the great work. Ps: have you heard about the oil for thrush it's call Cool Oil, kills thrush, I have been using it on a daily basis, then 2/3 days a week to stay thrush free, please mention it in your videos what you think.

Lovely Screwbald Paint mare (Piebald means Black & White Paint/Pinto Screwbald means any Other color & White in case you're scratching your head wondering what I'm referring to).
Thank you for sharing the explanation. I have loved horses, but not had much contact with them for various reasons. I like learning more about them, but riding isn't an option. Take care 😊.
Great video. Just wondering - How many times have you accidentally singed the 'Family Jewels' pressing a red hot horse shoe on a hoof clasped between the legs?
Friend visiting and I open my kitchen cabinet and he said “why do you have a farriers rasp??”, well another friend a farrier forgot it when moved to GA. 🤷🏽♀️🤷🏽♀️
He mentioned that the "black stuff" was thrush, several times in the video and that it was a fungal infection that is treated with copper sulfate. You might try Google to help you with some of the words that you aren't familiar with. 😊
How much does a farrier cost not how much do you charge just an average cost for a farrier. I know Clydesdales would cost more which is reasonable average horse or a donkey what would the charge be for shooting them? And I'm mainly asking because this horse they brought them in late other horses end up with feet that are crazy. I mean it can't be because of cost every time. And you say 6 to 7 weeks average. I mean I know it can't be cheap to do horses and depending on how many horses you have because the farrier has a very hard job. And that's a job I'm very thankful for since people want to own horses knowing that it's an expensive animal to have.
What is the approximate cost of your services? I'd like to eventually help with the costs of caring for some horses to show horses that people can be benevolent towards their needs.
@@lilypina9073 No!! It is indeed bacterial, usually cause by Fusobacterium necrophorum. Fungus can sometimes occur as a secondary infection, but it doesn't cause it.

Always interesting and educational, Caleb. but . . . no nail polish? LOL

Awesome job mixed with a lot of care. You are a fantastic farrier.
Great job, and good explanation. My farrier mixes the copper sulphate with the dental impression material, ah you just said you do that too.
Great horsie pedicure🧡
I'm so happy you have ASMR, not music ❤ beautiful job.
Great teaching and commentary. I liked this video. Haven’t heard from you for a while.
Beautiful horse! Love your videos & looking forward to the exciting news!
Glad you have a new posting. Love the video quality and especially your narration. The horses are so beautiful. Thank you. ❤❤

im early today! yayy
Are the discoloration around the nail holes just from the metal?
Yikes. Ty
Great video. Just wondering - How many times have you accidentally singed the 'Family Jewels' pressing a red hot horse shoe on a hoof clasped between the legs?

I noticed you drove 4 nails per side and only crimped 3. Did you pull the 4th nail?
Could you use salicylic acid powder, or would that harden the hoof too much?
How come it's so dark on the frog. It just doesn't look good. What can you do to make it look better

@@judithburke1539 Excellent idea! Amazing what info you can find...
Where can I get copper granuals?
Probably foot with negative bone Angle ,low cut at the tip and long breakover point😢
Your hands look cold Caleb
Is it better to shoe a horse, or are there times when it is better to let them go without?
Really depends on the horse and what they do you have to approach them as an individual
What is the frog?
How much does a farrier cost not how much do you charge just an average cost for a farrier. I know Clydesdales would cost more which is reasonable average horse or a donkey what would the charge be for shooting them?

Darn smell lingers on long after you leave the darn shed
You need gloves! Gnarly scar on your arm. Tough , back breaking work!
Yikes.
Isn't thrush fungal not bacterial?

I thought thrush was a fungus. I will have to remember it's an anorobic bacteria 🦠
It is a fungus. It IS NOT a bacteria of any kind. Now, hooves may grow some anaerobic bacteria but thrush is a fungus.
@@lilypina9073 thank you
@@lilypina9073 No!! It is indeed bacterial, usually cause by Fusobacterium necrophorum.
