That poor horse. It must have been infected for awhile to get that deep

That sweet horse was sure patient.

Probably not possible, but I’d love to see a follow up video. Thank-you for helping the horse out.

That horse is a saint. Hope he is loved.

Yikes!  I hope the horse gets some better care going forward!

I can't believe how calm and steady the horse was.

I truly hate to see these horses so neglected, darn near to the point their feet are rotting off of their legs.
No animal who works or is kept as a pet deserves to be so thoughtlessly mistreated and ignored.
I am a firm believer that people have a right to privacy, mind your own business right…
But when it comes to this kind of neglect the right to privacy has been taken for granted and is no longer deserved, because there’s nothing right about ignoring your companion.
I am 100% thankful and grateful this man has taken care of this animals feet. God Bless you sir.

I'm glad you were able to address that issue. I can only hope the owner brings the horse back for follow up care. This didn't happen overnight. May they walk forever with rocks in their shoes and get a clue how it feels for horses to have untended feet.

I hope this was a rescue situation and this very sweet well behaved horse is in a good home from now and ever

Just thanks for helping the horses, and for teaching the young people too. You do great work.

This poor animal!  His life is about to get better though!  The depth of your knowledge is unbelievable!!!  Thanks, Riley & Ashtyn!

Wow that poor guy!!😢💔

It is always sad to see horses so neglected. She obviously hadn't been trimmed is quite a long time. Hopefully she will get proper care going forward.

This is the scariest case I've ever seen in your channel... Poor horse... I hope the owner won't neglect it again...

That is incredible. What a transformation. Good fresh start for this horse ❤

Great job and I hope the owner brings the horse back so we can have an update .

Yikes... that infection went deep! Looked much better! Great job. Love how thorough you are. Hopefully that hoof grows back healthier now

In awe of your skills.  That looked tough, all the way through.  I really hope the owner is going to do what it takes to take care of that horse going forward.  I would say it's hard to believe anyone could have let it get that obviously bad to begin with, but I've watched enough of your videos to know better. Thanks for all you do.

This broke my heart. This horse was clearly very sweet and patient and had been trained on how to have their hooves trimmed and yet their condition was allowed to get so bad 😢

I love how normally he's walking at the end with ice perky ears.

I used to be a nail technician. I am blown away by how similar this is to Tinea pedis infection of the onyx (nail  plate).

It causes onycholysis, or separation of the plate from the nail bed, and hard but crumbly nails. The fungus and skin build up to the point of deforming both the nail and the bed.

Treatment includes scaling all infected material until healthy grows out (a year or so) plus topical and often oral medication.

It's a lot easier for humans than horses.
