I love watching farriers work! It's an art and a science all together. A good farrier is worth their weight in gold, especially one that's patient with horses. So glad you have a good one!
oooh, I like watching the farriers work. I don't like shoes but Apollo needs them so, there it is. Good that you care so well for him and he gets them in plenty of time. That's one reason I don't like them - owners aren't careful. Nice that you can go to the farrier instead of having him come to you when he can. Good boy Apollo to wait so nicely on the farrier.
These two videos are awesome. I am a city dweller and I can only compare these shodding (or treatment in Farouk's case) to a display of great craftsmanship and a timeless art. Thank you for showing this.
Tara,as a little girl I always wanted a horse,after the incredible video of me. Bean showing Apollo finally at62 years old,I realize I couldn't have afforded proper and regular care.what aspectakular thing to those two men ,it takes alot to show each good,I see how he's the best in the world
Hello, lovely Apollo, and the farrier's level: pro. But why am i suddenly want to have tea? :D Part 2 right away. Thank you for sharing and have a wonderful week. #TaraAndApollo
Apollo has such a great personality he is docile and well behaved during this "maintenance" with all the noise etc and yet when riding has such a spark treasure him he is special
That must be a hell of a trim with the nippers on the left front, He didn't even level with the rasp , just hemmed up the edges and straight to the anvil shaping the shoe 👀
The only horse who is not shod is Farouk and the price in the UK depends on what needs doing and is it a light weight racing shoe or handmade or bought in bulk for a manufacturer
How interesting. I wonder what was going through the mind of the very first person who came up with the idea of putting a piece of metal on the foot of a horse?

Yes it's a must to have a good one and not all qualified farriers are made equal x
Absolutely!
Amazing skill of Steve and Apollo such a good customer standing well 🐎
He's very good,makes the whole process look easy.I was mesmerized watching this😁💖
Yes he does make a difficult job look easy.
lovely to read the comments, great horse to shoe. Very honoured to take care of him. Tara please contact me about his next appointment.
Hi Steven, Merry Christmas and I am glad you found my channel. I will ring you later today :)
That's an excellent job you did there, Stephen. Respect!
That was so interesting. what a good boy he is. Kansas,USA
Such a good boy Apollo. Had to laugh at the bit where farriers obviously swapped, it looked for a minute Apollo was standing on 2 hooves only!

The farrier must love Apollo. He's so well behaved!
Apollo is good now but he wasn't when he first went to Steven for shoes. Steven was very patience with him and has a very good way with horses.
The banging and smoke must be most alarming for a horse. Has Farouk been shod yet? ☺️
Farouk may not need shoeing as he has very good hard feet
Tara I hope he doesn't need shoes. I think he might find it quite stressful. As might the farrier. ❤️😂

Apollo must feel spoiled with his fine pedicures and loving attention. As he should be! He even gets on with the barn cat.
Your ferrier is an artist
True craftsmanship, wonderfully calm Apollo.
Apollo is such a lovely boy, well mannered, I bet your young Arabian isn't that calm, thanks for sharing
Farouk is worried when he goes to see Steven but he is two years younger. He goes nearly everytime Apollo goes just to get used to the environment

Spot on comment Cathy Maynen
Hot shoe is good! It makes the bottom of hooves better.
That must be a hell of a trim with the nippers on the left front,

Tara, do you shoe all your horses? I like that his apprentice gets the hoof ready for him.
I'm just curious, how much is a set in the UK?

Beautiful Appolo

I guess it was probably a way to fix damaged hooves at first, then people realised they could use them to protect them and get more mileage.
Apollo is such a good 👦🐴
Oh look! He’s got a little oven in the back of his van 🥧
I see Apollo is impatient like some of us. It looks like it takes long. At least for him, poor baby.
i love your videos hi from australia
Hi there George from down under Happy New Year
This is what I should have done with my life 😀
Apollo looks thinner in these pic. Kansas, USA
he has put on weight this summer
What brand anvil is that??
He had beautiful hooves and your Farrier is a craftsman . I have a question : why shave his fat locks (socks) it is characteristic of a Frisian
I prefer him without feathers and in winter it is easier to spot any signs of mud fever
Good to see a young lad taking up the trade. Toenails clipped ready for his brand new shoes. Well done Apollo.t
👍😊
Since the "youngsters" need shoes... best you find gainful employment for your layabout lad !!
I don't like the hot horseshoe part
