Poor horse, he behaved so well for dealing with such a rough injury. And the work on your shoe was fantastic. Hope he has an easy recovery without complications
I enjoy watching different farriers' approaches to similar mishaps and injuries in horses, because while y'all always put a bar shoe on the horse in the end, and show how you make one (which I REALLY like), there are things that y'all do before the shoe gets forged and put on that are different. And I know that a farrier who's also a vet is going to do stuff that's radically different from a farrier who isn't a vet. That's a given. I really appreciate that you explain in detail what you're doing, why you're doing it, how what you're doing can help or harm a horse, and the importance of shoeing for some horses.
Really appreciate the clarity with which you explain what it is that you are trying to accomplish, and the rationale behind it. Appreciate too, your anatomical identification of the structural features you’re working on. Thank you!
Caleb, you are absolutely amazing. Those horses are absolutely blessed to have you. You are so talented, and have so much empathy regarding the comfort of each horse. Have a blessed day. I love all of your videos, thank you for sharing your life.
It makes me so happy to see how you and Nate the Hoof Guy take such care of the animals in your specialties. That injury looked nasty, poor fella. Hope he feels better soon.
Impressive work...... love watching this stuff. Your narrative and explaining as you go is lovely, and the horses you're helping are so worth your time and effort. Kudos to you....!
Please tell the owner (if they are responsible & want to help their horse) to rub mild iodine into the coronet band above the injury. It stimulates hoof growth. Friends had a mare that did something very similar, & the vet recommended iodine. It really helped. Her hoof never did regain 100% normal appearance, but it was strong enough to take a shoe & it didn't bother her or cause any lameness ussues.
When I was visiting my cousin in Texas, one of her horses sustained an almost identical injury. I had gone out to the barn and found him standing in a lake of blood and pulled him out right quick to see what the problem was. He'd evidently rolled and his hoof had come up under the edge of the corrugated tin of the hay barn his pen was attached to. I just couldn't believe how much that poor horse bled, was amazed he survived. The vet came out and did what she could, but I had to go on back home so didn't get to see his recovery. Cousin told me that's basically the same procedure they used for her horse--I would have loved to have watched him build that shoe in person. Just glad I got to see you do it, and we'll be out here rooting for his recovery!
It’s cool watching you ply your trade with so much skill ! Loved watching you make a valuable custom horseshoe out of a piece of metal ! Enjoyed the video very much!! 😊👍🥳🥳🥳🌷
