Watching this, you can see why, historically, smiths were revered as magicians. The shoe itself is a work of art and the process of making it is mesmerising. I really am in awe of the knowledge and skills of the farrier. I know next to nothing about horses . . . but I'm learning fast! Incredible work.

Make sure you watch the whole video. A lot of your questions are answered throughout the video. Pretty ironic that we made a heart bar on Valentine’s Day! Enjoy the video!
I would like to know what product you are using to coat the outside of the hoof after you finish the job. It looks like good stuff. (I saw it used in a previous video)
I'm addicted to ur channel. It's the forging I like the best! To take a bar of metal n forge it, bend it, beat it, form it n make tracks for the nails. It's a craftsmanship to be proud of. To see the before n after is amazing. Keep up the great work, from S.E. TN!!
I don't think most people have a clue how much skill and craftsmanship is needed to make specialized horseshoes from scratch. Add in the fact that the draft horse, who was easily over 1000 pounds, was constantly pulling his hoof away- mad respect.
I agree: one tends to take more pride in a handmade product, rather than something pre-built! Plus, in this day and age, having more skills takes you farther.
@@KeaveMind nope, i know farriers dont apply to this, but many people only go far because of success other people have created, like generational wealth for example, you can use the existing money you're left with to force ways to get yourself further. only difference is that its not sustainable
The workmanship of the farriers is fantastic. But also, what impresses me is the patience of the horses whilst the work is taking place on their hoof. Well done to both. x
i was making mental pictures of the horse that how he's showing off to his mates and telling em '' huh look at these shiny new shoes of mine here mannnn '' while t master put his foot on that step there :D :ddd
I came here for the horse shoeing, stayed because you’re a truly incredible blacksmith. Rare to see someone quickly and efficiently make a tool with no grinders or other power tools, just a hammer. Got to the exact shape, size and proportions with just hands and eyeballs.
That was the most amazing piece of craftsmanship I've ever witnessed. What a Masterpiece! I've watched so many different videos of ppl shoeing horses, but this just made me truly appreciate the quality of someone who knows exactly what they are doing. My grandfather was a blacksmith but he died when I was only 7 and I only got to witness his work first hand once. So appreciate all the care these ppl take in doing their trade. Kudos to all of you!!
One my other favorite farrier channels talked about why he hand makes shoes a lot, too. He said that it gives him the ability to support the horses in ways that premade shoes sometimes can’t. He also said that he prefers to stock the unmolded bars rather than lug around all of the specialty premade shoes in any size that he might need. That made a lot of sense to me and I think it’s great that you encourage your students to learn it, even if they choose mostly premade shoes in their careers.
Incredible work as always. You’ve made such a fantastic difference to this horse. He/ she is going to feel so much more comfortable and confident with his/her feet. Thank you for the work that you do.
I keep coming back to this channel because of the artistry and the care that goes into each shoe. It's all about making sure the horse will improve and get the support they need.
Coming from a place where farriers use pre-made horseshoes like 99% on the time, it's so amazing to watch these videos and see a horseshoe made from scratch! Beautiful craftsmanship all the way! Thanks so much for these videos!
I am absolutely blown away by the forging of your custom shoes. I've seen you do it a number of times and still come away astounded by your skills in that department.
I know nothing whatsoever about horses..but what I do know is this man has a passion for, and mastery of his craft. The workmanship is impeccable, and the fact that he teaches his students to make everything from scratch tells me he truly loves sharing his knowledge through teaching. Big ups from New Zealand.
Wow ! That truly is an art . I knew nothing about horseshoes and never realised all the craftsmanship involved. Thanks for all your hard work and dedication to do what's best for these beautiful animals.😊
I love watching a master craftsman farrier at work, from working out what the foot needs to give it strength and balance, to making the appropriate shoe for the horse to help for hoof health , comfort and hoof improvement
Even though this horse has not been kindly treated as his feet degraded to this state, he is amazingly patient with the trimming and shoeing process. I hope his life is much better going forward. Such skill - seeing the “before” it is hard to imagine getting to the “after.”
I am amazed how much this trade has changed in 50 years . Just wonderful thing and skillsets you are passing on to the next generation. Bless you. You are very caring to the animals too.
Didn't realize until I saw your post that you did a heart bar shoe on Valentine's Day--this draft horse got his very own Valentine! Exceptional work. The craftsmanship and skill involved in making a shoe by hand is something that your students will take with them throughout their careers that will make them stand out from other farriers. This horse's hoof already looks 100 times better--please update us as to how he heals in 2 months. Hopefully the horse feels better already.
Мне кажется, Тамаре нравятся новые туфли... как женщинам во всем мире! как хорошо животное должно чувствовать себя с этой новой вещью. Привет из Италии
As a human who currently has a horrific fracture and broken ankle, who cant walk. My appreciation of what your doing for these horses is deeper than you can imagine. While the horse may not love you at this moment you have forever changed thier lives and therefore will hold you in thier hearts❤️🩹💞. This school is incredible thank you for keeping the trade alive
not all of them. I have a Jazz horse who's impossible to shoe. Thankfully he doesn't need it, he has very good hooves naturally. But when I decided to take the shoes off, we had to sedate him as he was willing to fight us over it. It was because his feet hurt badly, he'd been shod wrong. Now he knows that trimming doesn't hurt and it helps him so he's a very good boy now. Well aside from throwing everything he can find, that is.
Kudos to these farriers for helping fix these horses feet. As well great work on this horse husbandry.the horses don't seem bothered or nervous during this process.
What a fantastic video!! Just stumbled on your channel & I’m in awe of you guys! It’s wonderful to see real men doing real men’s work, crafting raw iron into shoes fit for a king!! Bravo to all you men preserving the farriers trade👏👏👏
WOW !!!!!! I am so VERY impressed by the way that you did this horseshoeing and blacksmithing work !!!! You did a FANTASTIC JOB of making sure that this horse was trimmed AND shod with such professional attention to EVERY DETAIL to make him feel VERY COMFORTABLE . HIS HOOF WAS IN TERRIBLE CONDITION AND YOU BROUGHT IT BACK TO AS NEAR TO NORMAL AS YOU COULD HAVE . I - FOR ONE - WANT TO TELL YOU HOW MUCH I TRULY APPRECIATE THE TIME , WORK , AND THE DEDICATION THAT YOU HAVE PUT INTO GETTING THIS HORSE BACK INTO RIDING AND WORKING CONDITION . I KNOW THAT HE AND HIS OWNER REALLY DO APPRECIATE ALL OF THE HOURS AND HOURS OF SCHOOLING THAT YOU HAVE BEEN THROUGH TO GET TO THIS POINT IN YOUR LIFE . YOUR WORK IS ABSOLUTELY AMAZING !!!!!! 🙂🙂😊😊😇😇🥰🥰😉😉😍😍🤗🤗🤠💝💖💗💓💞💕💟❣❤🧡💛💚💙💜❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤🤟👍🤜🤛👊👊👏👏🙏🙏💪💪🐴🐴🐴🐴🐎🐎🐎🐎💐🌸🏵🌹🌺🌻🌼🌷⚘🌲🌳🌞🌞🌈🌈🔆🔆🇺🇲🇺🇦🇺🇲🇺🇦🇺🇲🇺🇦🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲 !!!!!!
What an amazing transformation. Love the skills and craftsmanship as much as the way you choose to teach. And this one I would love to see the follow up for.
Astonishing! These guys are sculptors as much as anything else. I could watch this all day. I was an electrician for high tech and heavy industrial projects for my career. If I wasn't so danged old I'd start fresh and learn this extraodinary craft. Wow!
Wow, what a difference! This horse will definitely feel better now with proper shoes on. Thank you for the video. I hope there will be a future video showing the process to a healthier feet.
Love it! Always better to learn something from the bottom up! Adds a deeper understanding to just about anything you can try to learn! My minor in college was photography. Even though digital cameras were basically the standard by that time, we still had to learn all the darkroom processes. From developing our film to making our own prints and fine tuning/editing them in the darkroom.
Надо ж так запустить...я далека от этого..но видно как дефармировано копыто...а как неудобно и больно было животному...знает только он.😏😏 Спасибо мастеру, кузнецу за их золотые руки‼️👍👍
Stunning transformation, would love to have seen him all shod and walking comfortably, but appreciate your work and help for a neglected work horse. He deserved it.
I have multiple horses. And I watch a ton of these videos. The one thing I can say is that our gentle giants cooperate with all these necessary shenanigans 99.8% of the time. Let’s hear it for the horses. And for the farriers who do the hard work to keep our horses healthy. No hoof, no horse.
Wow what a pleasure to see so many 'proper' farriers making traditional and bespoke horseshoes... Respect to you all and may you take care of those hooves forever... Forged in Fire eat your heart out, LOL💞🇬🇧
I have no idea how I got here but what a fascinating video! I had never thought about what goes into making a horseshoe - or the process of trimming the hooves. Wow. It looks very hard on the hands and wrists. I imagine a lot of aching and sore muscles were had in learning this and building up the hand stamina to do this on the daily. Amazing work!
What a wonderful display of true craftsmanship. That poor horse has been given some extra years. I hope he has been retired. A work of love. Lovely to see the actual shoe made. My horses also were shod with handmade shoes many years ago. This is a fabulous school.
You guys are Amazingggggg!!!!!! taking in consideration of each horse to suit it's needs rather than a generic fit to all shoe🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌💓🙏 Thankfull for you guys out there 🙌🎉🎊
Fantastic to see a shoe crafted from bar, been a long time since i have seen this art practiced, last time was over 50 years ago when our mobile farrier used to come and always reheat bar cut and craft a shoe , always a perfect fit, But then he never had to deal with such a badly neglected Hooves , i bet that Vanner / Cob was so grateful and a whole lot more comfortable after you attended to him , I have honestly never seen such a flat footed draft type horse, Great Work
I always love to see the difference you make for these horses. You really are a excellent craftsman! I also enjoy seeing the inquisitive feet of the onlookers - they’re learning from a master!
I understood hooves grew downwards but I didn't know there was a possible variant in Draft Horses, of potentially growing sideways instead. Not giving much to work with. Appreciate your explanation. In an era of supply availability becoming questionable, your students will be well prepared to be able to take on making needed materials from scratch. Thank you for you sound idea of teaching and for creating the confidence to handle things that come their way.
The horse was in bad shape too😁... gotta watch that auto suggest/ spell check algorithm... has a mind if it's own. Note: The three vertical dots on the upper right hand corner of your comment. If you tap them with your finger, a menu will appear. Tap 'Edit' with your finger and your comment can now be edited for spelling, punctuation etc. using your keyboard. After corrections are made, finger tap the blue arrow on the right. Done deal. 👍
Всё это конечно очень хорошо, но подкова в задней части должен быть выступ в 5-7 мм, а не гладко как на этом видео. Эти босоножки будут скользить как на асфальте так и в грязи.
Вообще не понимаю людей которые заводят животных без возможности ухаживать. Спасибо вам, что есть такие добрые ЧЕЛОВЕКИ. Это очень большой и нужный труд.

Fabulous job, please wear ear muffs to protect your hearing from all the banging, this advice is from a nurse
@@neeadevil4840 In Nigeria, home to some of the earliest iron working cultures on the planet, blacksmiths assumed a great deal of spiritual and political importance that continues into the modern era.
Working with iron in particular is very difficult, and a population was quite dependent on a small population of smiths to make tools and weapons alike.
@@narellemacpherson9759 No better comment. Add to that these facts: 1)Hearing protection is cheaper than hearing aids.

Thanks for the heads up. Best to you and yours.

I can’t believe how people neglect these horses hooves. Thank goodness for this gifted blacksmith. Wow he is so good!
Like many times in life. People have no idea what they’re buying
I guess that this hooves were put on before they become so overgrown.
I learned how on RUclips and some overly generous horses. They actually like it now
Make sure you watch the whole video. A lot of your questions are answered throughout the video. Pretty ironic that we made a heart bar on Valentine’s Day! Enjoy the video!

I'm just a black man that knows nothing about horses, BUT I can tell good craftsmanship when i see it! Old school blacksmithing! Awesome job sir!
You need to look up Black cowboys. They're in the middle of big cities like LA and NYC.

A special thanks for saving what could be considered a dying art.
People come to the US from all over the world to learn to be horse shoers (farriers)
Какой тяжёлый труд! А мастер виртуоз-профессионал!Лошадь получила новые подковы и ноги болеть не будут. Кузнец долгих лет и здоровья!
The art of a farrier has to be at least 1,000 years old. And it’s still so vital to a horses well-being today. Bravo to all master farriers!❤

I have no idea how I got here but what a fascinating video! I had never thought about what goes into making a horseshoe - or the process of trimming the hooves. Wow.

Such a shame that a quality horse like that was left with neglected feet. Great job.
Shouldn't happen to any horse period. Million dollar horses end up at slaughter just like the ones without papers. So sad
This blacksmith is absolutely amazing all the work he puts into those shoes.... Thumbs up to you buddy You're one of the best.....
Love watching you hand craft the shoe. Thank you.
Love that ur keeping the old school craft going !

Great Job!! would be interesting sometime to see how you measure hoof and length of barstock for a kind of shoe like this
Outstanding job. Well done. Great video.
as always i cry my eyes out for all them horses out there and also a medal to these craftmen who do a ton of a job:)
Wspaniali kowale, wspaniała kuźnia. Serdecznie pozdrawiam z Polski
Whoever let that horse get that way should be fined.

I agree with you. He should be fined and arrested
Usually see this around here on Amish horses...
Not only fined but warned and monitored. If they begin neglecting another animal, they should be barred from owning any animals.
Wow. Is this this communist section?
I love that you're teaching clinical skills AND art.

And bless the horses in his path

Such a good hoof save after your attention. Thank you for sharing.🐴
Вообще не понимаю людей которые заводят животных без возможности ухаживать. Спасибо вам, что есть такие добрые ЧЕЛОВЕКИ. Это очень большой и нужный труд.
Nothing like watching a true craftsman work.
