Laminitis: Ever slightly torn you fingernail from its bed and it gets infected and hurts everytime you touch something, Well now imagine you have to stand on those sore fingers x 4. That's how I see it, poor horsies. It's wonderful to see great people helping them get better. The fact that there is such a big break in angle of the hoof tells me this was a unaddressed long term condition ☹... ❤🐾
I like to watch farrier and cow hoof vids (Nate the Hoof Guy is great!) One time I injured my big toe and ended up with an abcess under my toenail. It was the most painful thing I ever experienced on my foot. Before I went to the doctor to have it taken care of I couldnt wear a shoe at all and standing was agony due to the pressure of the abcess under the nail. Even sitting it throbbed in pain. So every time I see a horse or cow with an abcessed hoof I wince in sympathy. I know how bad it feels to have an abcess confined under a "nail".
My niece stepped and twisted on my toe...ripped the nail clean out. I walk on that foot. So, yeah... I've had a similar experience. Not too bad, honestly.
That poor horse! He stood so well despite the pain he must have been in. I would love to see how y’all work with the x-rays. It’ll be interesting to see how close you were able to get with the angles without the x-rays. Great work. He was walking so well for a foundered horse.
@@tracybowling1156 Horses are very stoic. The do their best to hide their pain because in the wild it makes them easy prey and they’ll be more likely to be singled out from the herd, their safety. A person who sees the horse daily will recognize the pain. One time it took four different veterinarians to find my horse’s lameness. It was clear to me, but it took an incredible veterinarian to see what I saw. The infections in the hoof were recognized and that is why the horse’s owners brought him in.
@@Wranglerlaura Hi again Laura. I have so many questions. I hope I am not bothering you and thank you for your last answer. I know about having animals you know and love just like you do your own kids! One of my ?'s is do all horses need shoes? Do ponies? Donkeys? (Please pretend that is one ?☺️)
@@tracybowling1156 , I’m happy to share knowledge. What’s the purpose of having it if you don’t share. Shoes on equines in general can be a loaded question. There are people (not as many as there once was praise God) who figure as long as you can get a shoe on a horse, they’ll be good. The therapies that can be done on equines through shoes has become incredible. However, a good hoof can resolve many issues before shoes are needed. There are also people who are adamant you are being cruel to your horse/equine by putting shoes on them. Ideally any hooved animals that wear shoes really should have at least a month each year barefoot. Let the hoof recover from the shoes. Shoes aren’t ideal for horse hooves, then again I wear an insole that uses pressure points to push my feet in more of a barefoot mode because our feet too really shouldn’t be in shoes all the time. That being said, the only way in my opinion for the horse in this video to get any relief is shoes. Anything they can do to keep the sole of that horse off of the ground is necessary for relief and recovery. Horses are more likely to wear shoes than mules, and mules are more likely to need shoes than donkeys. Donkeys that are in heavy work sometimes can’t grow enough hoof to replace what’s worn away. As a general rule though not many donkeys wear shoes, especially where they are not working several hours a day. One of the advantages of riding a mile when I was growing up was that they seldom needed shoes. Today, it seems that has changed some. It is also dependent on the quality of the hooves, the amount of work, and the terrain. There is a movement to breed for hooves again in horses. For years, it seemed as long as you could get a shoe on a horse they were good to breed. Unfortunately that mentality has done a lot of damage to horses of many breeds. I’m good to see this movement in action. My horses, ponies, mules, and donkeys are all barefoot at this time. I do have hoof boots for my horses because our ground is brutal and when I ride the horses get gimpy and the extra weight can increase the likelihood of bruising. Now if I get my back well enough to put my horses to work, I’d have to shoe them. With our terrain, regular riding would wear out the boots much faster than a set of shoes. I hope I haven’t overwhelmed or confused you. There’s a lot of information about hooves. I look at these horses shoeing schools of today and am a bit jealous. There’s so much more information today than there was when I went to horseshoeing school in the late 80’s.
@@Wranglerlaura Yes! Your answer is great! I had no idea I was this interested. And I had no idea that shoeless horses are healthy horses, for the most part. It does make sense because I can't wait to get out of my shoes at the end of the day. So did you make horseshoes just like the people in the video? If so, was it hard work?

I’m not into horses, black smithing or any of that stuff I just like watching people being good at their jobs especially when their jobs involves skill talent and knowledge; pretty cool 👍
Thank you so much for helping these horses! And I’m happy he has owners that know how important it is for the. To have healthy hooves, horses are pretty much on their feet 24/7 so I can’t imagine having laminitis or any infection.
This popped up on my feed and now I had to sub. I don't even look up horse videos. But you guys are the real deal. What an interesting profession. I would've loved to learn this. It's so satisfying to watch you work.
Both of my mini mares reacted to the West Nile shot and foundered - the younger one would have a lot of abscesses- her mom had a few - I also handled Mystic Park a Standardbred Stallion who had Patomac Fever - he ended up at New Bolton Hospital in Chester County Pa - he had all four hooves taken off at the coronary band ( he rotated in all 4 ) and degree his hooves afterwards his feet were soft that you had to watch greasing and picking his feet - other than that he recovered nicely- years later I found out that the Vet I use for my dogs was the intern on his case and he told me what he ( the horse, I handled him 3 years after the fact ) went through - Nice job on your horse
How in the world would a horse live and function without his hooves? I rode and showed horses most of my life and never have heard of that. Was with a friend one day and her horse severed one back foot. It died at a vet's due to shock and blood loss.
@@sondrasmith2691 Something to do with it being a medical procedure with consideration for the horse's survival and not an accident out in the field I'd guess.
Seeing the horse relieved of hoof pain is good to see. Lots of work and love for the animal. I didn't realize how much work it is to look after a horse's hooves. Could never imagine all that weight on the horse and it's hooves are sore.
That's so true. I knew a mare that layed down most of the time because she was in so much pain. The great Triple Crown winner, Secretariat was euthanized because he was foundered so bad.
I think its really cool the way you take a straight rod and make it into a horseshoe, that takes talent and you have gifted hands. The hospital plate is a awesome idea this way the wound would stay clean🤔🐎👍
@@barbrnthere are, it's just that this is a school and knowing how to make a shoe for when it's needed is an important part of knowing how to shoe a horse.

De aquí de P.R saludos y bendiciones. En verdad que eres un maestro te doy un 100 '/: por siento eres el mejor e aprendido mucho de ti gracias a usted aprendído mucho 👍👍💪💪
This video was sooooo interesting. I am amazed and grateful that you shared your work! I’ve never seen someone actually make a horseshoe before and watching you clean the hooves, treat them, make the shoes and apply them …. Omg. I just wish you’d spoken more during the process. I really liked the explanation you gave for what you did and why/how. Very interesting stuff. I have no idea about horses at all but I enjoy watching farriers do their thing.
It sure is nice to be young and able do the type of work you do. I just turned 60 and have arthritis in back and hands and can't even imagine using a hammer and bending over as much as you do!
That plate you put on, doesn’t it make it more slippery for the horse? And if so, do you have a more ‘grippy’ one for winter? I was taught never to walk behind a horse; are these trained to not tweak out and kick, or is this one more calm?
Amazing! Astonishing! Im almost weeping the care and knowledge you have. That horse im certain feels so so much better. Thankyou. I ride and muck out and adore them. When i had my own horse if she was in any pain it was so important to cure it of possible. Thankyou again.
So i have a question to anyone that knows, is traction for the horse an issue with this since it is walking on the bolt heads and not the whole surface area of the hoof? I imagine traction is fine out on dirt or in grass but is it a problem on cement?
Does the horse also get antibiotic treatment? Pain meds? Such a good, patient, calm horse. How long will this condition take to heal? Do these shoes bring immediate relief?
You did a great job of giving the horse some relief without having the xrays to look at, but still the horse should be in less pain after you fixed his feet.
I’m no blacksmith but I assume it’s to get the hammer correctly in the hand before hitting the steel and then maybe at the end to reduce momentum a little?! 😂 could be rubbish. I’m interested too though.
It's a heavy hammer and letting it bounce on the anvil is much easier than trying to stop it in the air. And I agree, it helps to adjust the grip and alignment.
@@noodlepipkinyou keep the hammer bouncing so you don't have to pick up all the weight and hit stuff with it again. At least that's what I was taught. I did this for 45 years. Thank you
They wouldn't use sandpaper, as it wouldn't remove enough material. Grinders aren't used much by horse farriers. Maybe it has something to do with the anatomy of the hoof. They use hoof knives, nippers, and they do rasp the hoof.
In Sweden The biggest veterinary Hospitals vet have a program for lamintis cases with over 80% chance of total recovery even to competition as before. They resect The toe so that NO tearing of The lamina continue. Its a strict rest on soft bed to be able to dop The toe for five weeks and dieting if thats The cause. The sole shall be hard dry and thick. NO shoes to get The sole to take some of The Horses weight. Thank You.
This case of laminitis is cause by an infection (most likely thrush not caught quickly enough) so diet change isn't going to work. If this was laminitis clearly caused by diet, then yes, diet is going to work. In this case, this horse needs some shoes.
@@KateandBree Wrong . You can SEE The line of Founder on the hoof Wall. It looks as someone has drawn a thin wire around The hoof. That causes other problems. This has Gone so far that The coffinbone has tipped so much and penetrated The sole on Both front legs. The X ray is important.
It is so hard to describe. I don't understand it fully. Look up founder, or laminitis. I did. Don't read about it in Wikipedia, if you do look it up. Almost indescribable pain.
Basically, therapeutic shoeing. Farrier has unbelievable strength in his arms,, legs, hands and back not to mention tremendous stamina. I hope the horse goes sound as a result this farrier’s work and skill.
What a good dude, standing so nicely for you. Can the founder damage eventually grow out, or will he always have the deformation? I had a friend with a pony whose hooves just always had those rings around his hooves after he foundered. He was always a happy little guy, though. Of course, by the time I met him, he was long since retired, barefoot, and living the good life on the pasture.
Wish we could have seen the results of the X-rays (radiographs) if they were taken before you proceeded with the trim. Also would like to see or hear of the outcome for this horse. Thanks for another informative video.

This is one of the most insanely cool things I’ve seen in ages. I miss being around horses
You did a great job of giving the horse some relief without having the xrays to look at, but still the horse should be in less pain after you fixed his feet.
What is the purpose of tapping the anvil before and after working the shoe? I’ve been wondering for a while.
I’m no blacksmith but I assume it’s to get the hammer correctly in the hand before hitting the steel and then maybe at the end to reduce momentum a little?! 😂 could be rubbish. I’m interested too though.
It's a heavy hammer and letting it bounce on the anvil is much easier than trying to stop it in the air.
And I agree, it helps to adjust the grip and alignment.
@@noodlepipkin Do you think also, it may be to dissipate the blow so the impact doesn't travel up the arm, so?
@@noodlepipkinyou keep the hammer bouncing so you don't have to pick up all the weight and hit stuff with it again. At least that's what I was taught. I did this for 45 years. Thank you
speaking as someone that knows nothing about any of this. Would you ever use sandpaper or a sander if you just wanted to take off a thin layer?
They wouldn't use sandpaper, as it wouldn't remove enough material. Grinders aren't used much by horse farriers. Maybe it has something to do with the anatomy of the hoof. They use hoof knives, nippers, and they do rasp the hoof.
respect to these hard working gentlemen...
See country men know all about that hard work.This is so impressive to watch.. Beautiful work wow
Just curious, why didn’t you use counter sink screws through the medicated plate?
In Sweden The biggest veterinary Hospitals vet have a program for lamintis cases with over 80% chance of total recovery even to competition as before. They resect The toe so that NO tearing of The lamina continue. Its a strict rest on soft bed to be able to dop The toe for five weeks and dieting if thats The cause. The sole shall be hard dry and thick. NO shoes to get The sole to take some of The Horses weight. Thank You.
This case of laminitis is cause by an infection (most likely thrush not caught quickly enough) so diet change isn't going to work. If this was laminitis clearly caused by diet, then yes, diet is going to work. In this case, this horse needs some shoes.
@@KateandBree Wrong . You can SEE The line of Founder on the hoof Wall. It looks as someone has drawn a thin wire around The hoof. That causes other problems. This has Gone so far that The coffinbone has tipped so much and penetrated The sole on Both front legs. The X ray is important.
Is the enclosed shoe for the hospital plate or is that a personally preferred technique?
It is amazing how the animal trusts the man.
I'm amazed at the multiple skills shown here. Much more than a farrier but a very skilled blacksmith as well.
What causes that infection? Very informative videos
It is so hard to describe. I don't understand it fully. Look up founder, or laminitis. I did. Don't read about it in Wikipedia, if you do look it up. Almost indescribable pain.
Basically, therapeutic shoeing. Farrier has unbelievable strength in his arms,, legs, hands and back not to mention tremendous stamina. I hope the horse goes sound as a result this farrier’s work and skill.
What a good dude, standing so nicely for you. Can the founder damage eventually grow out, or will he always have the deformation? I had a friend with a pony whose hooves just always had those rings around his hooves after he foundered. He was always a happy little guy, though. Of course, by the time I met him, he was long since retired, barefoot, and living the good life on the pasture.
What is that powder you put on the ends of the horseshoe before you hammer them together? Nice job, I wish all farriers were this consciencious.
It's a welding fluxed to seal the weld and make the metal come together. Sills out the air so it will weld
Artist at work.
Hope things got better for him! Laminitis is no joke.
