they move a lot more than domesticated one often on rougher surfaces so the hoofs wore down naturally. domesticated horses tend to have way less distance to walk for water and food.
they also often die when they develop a problem with their hoofs. they are prey animals, sick, young, old - they became food if they are in the area where something that eats them live. if not, they will probably die of starvation or dehydration, depending on the area...
Domesticated horses wear irons because concrete is very bad for their hoofs. But this leads to them not naturally wearing out their hoofs. Wild horses just wear them out naturally by running all day
Wild horses don’t need horseshoes. Horseshoes are needed for domesticated horses that are ridden on hard surfaces. Not all domesticated horses wear them for instance
Wild horses move on much softer terrain than certain domesticated ones so the regular hooves are more than sufficient. If the hoofs gets to long they’ll wear them down on a couple of rocks
Imagine if you only walked around in grasslands. You wouldn’t need shoes to protect you either
(Still some sort of shoe is better but not necessary)
Horseshoes is one of those things that can help but is not necessary to survive and wild horses are only limited by evolution. So if they can get around well enough on hooves it’s okay, evolution doesn’t result in the most perfect solution just in the most okayest
Bro there are horses with such bad hoofes. Like with worms and auch living in them. This here is just a basic clean up action. In fact you should clean your horses hoofes regularly, at least once a day, u can leave out a day here and there, you get the gist?
But some people dont do it ever. Thats not good.
Those are Horse Beans,
horses are actually not the actual animal, but the fruiting bodies of the horse plant.
As the horse fruit grow to adult size they will begin to produce horse beans from their hooves.
When a bean reaches maturity, it is naturally planted into soft soil as the horse fruit moves about.
Come next spring, and the bean will have grown a root network strong enough to produce a new horse fruit that emerges from the ground the first warm summer night.
And that is how horses work.
yeah the onomatopoeia for horses is "neigh." This is one of those things that surprisingly varies in many languages, as if we hear animals say different things. I learnt this in Japan, literally every animal sound is different. In English a dog says "woof woof" or "bark bark" but in Japan they say something like "wan wan" like somone saying "one" in English.
I just looked up the sound for horses in Japanese out of curiosity, "hihi-in," it's similar to the German which makes sense, Japan has a lot of loan words from German for some reason so maybe there is some similarity in the language?
No. The video "the history of the entire world , I guess" told me that a middle eastern civilization only started taming horses not really that long ago"
That horse’s hoof was in good shape so probably just a half inch around the toe and clean out the V shaped structure called the “frog”. It’s the toe that grows out and can make them lame if not attended to. Like human or dog nails, you can’t trim too much or you “quick” them. Then-blood all over the place.
Oof! My bird has really fine and looong quicks in his nails. Cutting them is terrifying as conures apparently don't clot well... 😳 on Halloween one year, we had a very bloody evening because of this.
I can't even imagine the blood if you cut the quicks on these big boys!!
You can try filing those nails instead of cutting them if your bird is cool with it! Because you're right, clipping a really small animals nails can be nerve wracking and a nail file gives you much more control and makes it easier to shape the nail. But look up how to file an animal nail first, it's very different from human nails.
That said, some animals really fucking hate it so ymmv 😅
*I don't understand*
*What's being cut away. Was*
*That a jelly bean??*

Yes. There’s essentially 3 different procedures you can do on hoof. A trim, which is what they did in this before the shoe was put on. Then you can do a cold shoe, or a hot shoe. Both have varying price points and which you do generally comes down to what the horse is for.
Cold shoe you get an approximate fit and make some minor changes before putting them on. This can also be done with aluminum.
A hot shoe the shoe is heated then custom formed to be near exactly a fit for the hoof. It’s placed on hot to get the surface perfectly flat for better ergonomics. This is typically done for show horses or ones walking on harder surfaces. Leaving an uneven surface would be like having a pebble in your sneaker. In this video he also placed a leather strip for extra cushioning. Meaning the horse was either lame and needed some correction or was typically walking on paved surfaces.
Source: my dad has been a farrier for 40 years. I have watched this being done 10,000 times and it never gets old.
Mileage. Same as how wild dogs or wolves don’t need their claws trimmed. Wild horses walk waaay more and tend to wear their hooves down naturally. But unfortunately lots of them do develop problems that if untreated lead to fatality. Split hooves, foreign objects that lead to infection or absess. Or even when they get older and lazy they grow too big.
I’ve seen horses with long hooves that curl up and others with clubbed feet. Uneven wear causes a lot of stress on the joints. Just like most domesticated animals certain parts rely on us to help them out a bit when otherwise it would happen naturally. But our intervention results in a way more comfortable life with greater longevity.
Negatively to the trim? Or just being stubborn?
An inexperienced farrier could cut into the sole. It’s a lot like cutting your nail too short. They’ll be sore a few days but then be fine. If the hoof is trimmed unevenly or the shoe applied wrong it can lead to the horse going lame. Which means sore or misaligned. But a trained eye can tell just by the way they walk and correct it.
Can confirm the trained eye. My father was a veterinarian for 30 years before he passed. From the time I was 6 until I was 23, I would go on horse calls with him on the weekends and summers and was the official “horse walker/trotter”. His work was fascinating to watch over the years.
The nails are actually meant to go through. It doesn’t show it well in this video but after you clip them to length there is another tool that bends the edge over so they don’t just slide out.
Dumb question, I know- BUT I don’t understand:
Wild horses don’t need this. Why do domestic horses? I’ve seen some crazy videos of pus even coming out (may have been a cow not a horse)
Please explain. And apologies in advance for wasting your time
Wild animals can have issues like the one you describe, with the puss. The nails/hooves can also grow too long and sometimes even fully like loop back out like a horn on the bottom of their foot.
So it’s like hygiene upkeep to an extent, it’s good for their legs and feet, and by extension their overall health. Animals with hooves like this can be like thousands of pounds also so I imagine any refinement of their nails can help.
Wild horses walk on rougher surfaces and their hooves are naturally worn down over time. Like how some rodents have to chew on stuff to trim their teeth. Take that with a grain of salt, I’m no expert.
Wild horses and domestic horses are usually traveling over different types of terrain. Wild horses aren't carrying riders or pulling things and don't walk over asphalt or concrete which a lot of extra puts wear on their hooves. Wild horses actually do have problems with their hooves a lot, they get injured easily and overgrown. People often end up stepping in to medically manage a lot of wild horse herds.
This particular video shows a high-end reshoeing, it's not what most horses would get each time.
The removal of the shoe, cleaning, trimming, clipping, and re fitting of the shoe will be done every 6-8 weeks. But like I say, it'll often be a bit more rough-and-ready than this.
Basic cost where I am is €150-200 per shoe, more if you're getting new shoes, and more again if you're going for something like the video.
Horses without shoes is called going barefoot, but it's not as simple as removing the shoe and saving yourself €800 every six weeks. There's a transition period to get the horse used to it, and other recommended clothes/treatments to keep the hoof strong. You'll also still require the farrier to inspect it and trim/shape it on a regular basis.
I know it feels so good to them to have their hooves done but shoeing always looks brutal.
I've seen too many videos of bad hoof maintenence and what that can cause so that has maximized my appreciation for their footcare.
For want of a nail the shoe was lost.
For want of a shoe the horse was lost.
For want of a horse the rider was lost.
For want of a rider the message was lost.
For want of a message the battle was lost.
For want of a battle the kingdom was lost.
And all for the want of a horseshoe nail.
The video doesn’t really show it properly, but the nails are supposed to protrude through the hoof wall and then another tool is used to roll them over. This is to prevent the nails from slipping out and the shoe from falling off.
Can someone with knowledge share some here? What are the different parts of the hoof we’re looking at? The outer part looks very hard, the inner part looks pretty soft, and that triangular bit looks… fleshy? What does it all feel like to the touch? Do the parts have names?
Far outside called the toes, a little in called the sole and the triangle is called the frog. Everything is hard except the frog which is semi spongy and is meant to reduce the impact of when a hoof comes down on the ground.
My favorite thing about these videos is thinking about how much the horses trust these people to do this. My dogs get annoyed when I even try to touch their paws.
Saw this yesterday with an AI voice over about the horse being crippled with pain until... ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|thinking_face_hmm)
Nice to see and upvote the original.![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|give_upvote)
Horses in the wild walk a ton more so they wear their hoofs down evenly, they can still get complications of course, but generally are fine. As far as I know though wild horses live shorter than domestic horses.
Information taken from others in this thread.
No, if the person doing the trimming/cleaning knows what there doing. The hard part of the hoof doesn't have nerves, so unless there hoof gets trimmed too much, or the nails put in to hold the shoe in place go too deep/are in the wrong spot to reach the nerves, then the horse is fine.
I'm not an expert, just sharing info gathered from elsewhere on this thread:
Think of the bone bart of the hoof as your finger nails, they grow back and need to be trimmed before they grow too long, and while they need to be cleaned almost daily, I think trimming of the hoof and new horse shoe takes place every 6-8 weeks.
I can't tell, was the hoof looking normal at the beginning, or did it have some kind of build up or infection? And those black pieces sticking out of the sides at the end that they had to file off... Were those normal?
I always wondered if horses can actually appreciate their new shoes, like will they feel better walking afterwards and such? Otherwise it would just be proof for their patience and good nature standing on three legs for that long while some guy does weird shit to your nails.
Did I ever tell you the time my wife cut my dog’s nail too short and it looks like a crime scene with blood everywhere. They both look perfectly calm about it but I cant handle that and this
I rode horses for two years in middle school and i volenteered at the ranch in the summer between those two years, it was definatley one of the best things i ever did
I taught and guided 10 year olds and helped them learn to ride,I was also able to completley ready a horse for riding and demount all the equippment all on my own, i gave the horses showers, combed their hair and even rode without a saddle once (with a teacher of course) and i even took home a horseshoe to hang on my wall
I remember the manicure days, the horses dont feel pain, they actualy dont really mind all the attention, its so satisfying to watch, one of my favourite parts of my lessons was to pick up the horse's hooves one by one and clean out all the dirt inside before the ride begins
Horses are huge and powerful and i was terrified on my first few weeks but they're so sweet and gentle and intuitive, horses are still and have always been one of my favourite animals but getting all up close and personal with one was so amazing, especialy since they remember people and can be very loving if they favor you
TLDR, go pet a horse if you ever get the chance, their muzzles are suprisingly soft and they love treats, literaly just giant hooved dogs
Wow and they don’t feel all this procedure
It's just a huge fingernail
What do wild horses do?
Wear them down by running on hard surfaces
they move a lot more than domesticated one often on rougher surfaces so the hoofs wore down naturally. domesticated horses tend to have way less distance to walk for water and food. they also often die when they develop a problem with their hoofs. they are prey animals, sick, young, old - they became food if they are in the area where something that eats them live. if not, they will probably die of starvation or dehydration, depending on the area...
I haven't spent much time around horses but would say a big thing stopping natural wear on this horse is the shoe he took off
horses wear shoes for multitude of reasons, this being one of them, yes
Domesticated horses wear irons because concrete is very bad for their hoofs. But this leads to them not naturally wearing out their hoofs. Wild horses just wear them out naturally by running all day
Wild horses don’t need horseshoes. Horseshoes are needed for domesticated horses that are ridden on hard surfaces.

Same thing as rabbits with their infinite teeth. Wear em down on things around them.
They visit podiatrists on weekends
If someone sticks a knife into my fingernail I'm suing.
You never use nailclippers?
*I said what I said*
You must be Merican
That makes sense I've seen at least 6 videos and none of these commenter say anything about huge fingernail
The bolts through the top part was eye opening
Yes huge nails through bottom of feet innagine if 1 of the cobblers used too long & was in the poor horse foot in berves,for months or years
Impressive what a shitload amount of ketamine can do
Don't I know it.
Is that a whole fucking cherry tomato lodged in there?
Looks like an [acorn shell](https://www.wildabundance.net/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/acorns-2-.jpg) ??
I was just happy it wasn't a blood blister. Video could've gone down waaay different...

I never do it. Might relate to the fact I don't have horses.
Would need to have Dr. Pimple Popper make a house call

Every time this is posted someone says this lol. It’s clearly an acorn.
Acorn shells could be dangerous and mistaken for a weapon these days 😏

Wow I'd always wondered this for so many years I truly appreciate your knowledge in biology thank you
Horse is running around in a salad
I came here for the answer to this question as well.
How much trial and error went into creating these things lol
Horses? Millions of years, I assume?
Yeah it was so difficult trying to get the bone structure strong enough so humans can ride on them!
I imagine it was harder to convince them to wear shoes
Don't most humans learn that in preschool?
Yes but, you see, horses aren't allowed to attend school. Thats why they can't read
Damn. The education system in this country. SMH.
I’m homeschooling my horse
My horse goes to an expensive religious private school
My horse can beat up your honor student
It's all the fault of Catherine the Great. After all the things she (allegedly) let her horse do they took a lot of their rights away. Very sad
But whenever they're asked if they want to go to school they say "Neigh!"
Do horses say „neigh“ in English? In my native German they say „Vihihihi“ (at least that’s how I learned it).
yeah the onomatopoeia for horses is "neigh." This is one of those things that surprisingly varies in many languages, as if we hear animals say different things. I learnt this in Japan, literally every animal sound is different. In English a dog says "woof woof" or "bark bark" but in Japan they say something like "wan wan" like somone saying "one" in English.

Fun Fact- Did you know that asking a horse "Why the long face" is like a racial slur to them? The more you know
Obviously, it’s not like they were going to learn how to shoe themselves overnight…
They don’t have hands, tragically. Perhaps they could shoe eachother if one horse held the nail and another one held the hammer.
No. The video "the history of the entire world , I guess" told me that a middle eastern civilization only started taming horses not really that long ago"
Is that a common occurrence?
Just think how long horses have been used for things by humans
Backbreaking-and then there are three more. Farriers are the best!
That is truly crazy. How much is trimmed off, do you think?? Like 1 inch off each? Or less?
That horse’s hoof was in good shape so probably just a half inch around the toe and clean out the V shaped structure called the “frog”. It’s the toe that grows out and can make them lame if not attended to. Like human or dog nails, you can’t trim too much or you “quick” them. Then-blood all over the place.

Honestly this is great advice. My cats will not let me clip their nails without violence (against me), but filing? No problem.
Ikr my back hurts every time I watch one of these videos
The pay is definitely worth the work however.
After this, I no longer want to own a horse
Well now I want some coconut.

I’m sad they didn’t show the horsey doing a little tappity-tap at the end
It's disappointing, honestly

I know horses do not feel pain down there but attaching the horseshoe always looks brutal af.
Pretty hardcore. Brave as hell.
Was that shoe put on hot???!
Yes. There’s essentially 3 different procedures you can do on hoof. A trim, which is what they did in this before the shoe was put on. Then you can do a cold shoe, or a hot shoe.

What happens to a horses hoof in the wild?
Mileage. Same as how wild dogs or wolves don’t need their claws trimmed. Wild horses walk waaay more and tend to wear their hooves down naturally. But unfortunately lots of them do develop problems that if untreated lead to fatality. Split hooves, foreign objects that lead to infection or absess. Or even when they get older and lazy they grow too big. I’ve seen horses with long hooves that curl up and others with clubbed feet. Uneven wear causes a lot of stress on the joints. Just like most domesticated animals certain parts rely on us to help them out a bit when otherwise it would happen naturally. But our intervention results in a way more comfortable life with greater longevity.
Wouldn't the leather be burn by the hot shoe?
Hot shoe to flatten, then glue leather, then add shoe. You can also use rubber or gel insoles. Many types for different feet and jobs.
Very interesting. Thanks.
Have any horses negatively reacted? If so, what does your dad do?
Negatively to the trim? Or just being stubborn? An inexperienced farrier could cut into the sole. It’s a lot like cutting your nail too short. They’ll be sore a few days but then be fine. If the hoof is trimmed unevenly or the shoe applied wrong it can lead to the horse going lame. Which means sore or misaligned. But a trained eye can tell just by the way they walk and correct it.

Why are there holes in the side of the hoof? Nails that were put in too wide or something? I'm sure there's a better explanation.
The nails are actually meant to go through. It doesn’t show it well in this video but after you clip them to length there is another tool that bends the edge over so they don’t just slide out.
Oh, interesting! Thanks for the info
Dumb question, I know- BUT I don’t understand: Wild horses don’t need this. Why do domestic horses? I’ve seen some crazy videos of pus even coming out (may have been a cow not a horse) Please explain. And apologies in advance for wasting your time
A wild horse spends a lot more time walking and wearing it down every day.
This makes a lot of sense thank you
Wild animals can have issues like the one you describe, with the puss. The nails/hooves can also grow too long and sometimes even fully like loop back out like a horn on the bottom of their foot. So it’s like hygiene upkeep to an extent, it’s good for their legs and feet, and by extension their overall health. Animals with hooves like this can be like thousands of pounds also so I imagine any refinement of their nails can help.
Wild horses walk on rougher surfaces and their hooves are naturally worn down over time. Like how some rodents have to chew on stuff to trim their teeth. Take that with a grain of salt, I’m no expert.

Manicure or pedicure?
That depends whether you call the U a horseshoe or a horseglove
Horse leg went from black to white
How often do they have to do that?

Normally every 6-8 weeks.
Am I trippen or is that a different hoof at the end?
"Paint that one pink with blue flowers," the gargantuan black horse said in a voice as deep as the ocean is wide.
I know it feels so good to them to have their hooves done but shoeing always looks brutal. I've seen too many videos of bad hoof maintenence and what that can cause so that has maximized my appreciation for their footcare.
God why are hoof trimming videos so cathartic to watch?
Well I certainly would be painting emojis or glitter or some lovely things on those nails (hooves) before I put the final coat of polish on them.
Get the horse out of my salad 🥗 please
Why am I so fascinated by these videos? And how is the horse so patient?
Clippety clop
Looks to me like the nails used for the shoe are too long
For want of a nail the shoe was lost. For want of a shoe the horse was lost. For want of a horse the rider was lost. For want of a rider the message was lost. For want of a message the battle was lost. For want of a battle the kingdom was lost. And all for the want of a horseshoe nail.
It's normal, meant to be like that. Then they will cut it or contour it
The video doesn’t really show it properly, but the nails are supposed to protrude through the hoof wall and then another tool is used to roll them over. This is to prevent the nails from slipping out and the shoe from falling off.
I can smell that hoof burn through my phone.

Can someone with knowledge share some here? What are the different parts of the hoof we’re looking at? The outer part looks very hard, the inner part looks pretty soft, and that triangular bit looks… fleshy? What does it all feel like to the touch? Do the parts have names?

Trimmed that hoof so well the horse changed colour! Very satisfying to watch mind you
Wow! He even turned the horse white by the end. Impressive
Is this really a manicure or more of a pedicure?
Did he just step in a caprese salad?

Will it be painful for a horse?
I think the horse would have kicked him to kingdom come if it did hurt…
No, if the person doing the trimming/cleaning knows what there doing. The hard part of the hoof doesn't have nerves, so unless there hoof gets trimmed too much, or the nails put in to hold the shoe in place go too deep/are in the wrong spot to reach the nerves, then the horse is fine.
How long do wild horses life without any off this help before they get major infectiona in their hooves? Genuine question
Does Bojack ever fet this done in an episode? I honestly don't remember.....
Nah, cos he's got hands and feet like a person. That's how he wears Chuck Taylors and smokes cigarettes.
Forbidden coconut
I thought that said manufacturing instead of manicuring
Every time I see this I go owww, and also wonder what it smells like. Also, what about wild horses? What happens to their hooves?
I’m most amazed at how still that horse is. My dog won’t let me touch his nails.
Farriers are awesome
Why do I find this so satisfying to watch?? . Beautiful animals and a great skill in carving out a new hoof. 🥰✌️🙏
It looks like the forbidden coconut peeling
I'd love to do this.
Are those… cherry tomatoes?
Why is that hoof full of beans?

Daft question but does it grow back? How many times can u "manicure" the horse before it gets to close to blood supply areas?
I'm not an expert, just sharing info gathered from elsewhere on this thread: Think of the bone bart of the hoof as your finger nails, they grow back and need to be trimmed before they grow too long, and while they need to be cleaned almost daily, I think trimming of the hoof and new horse shoe takes place every 6-8 weeks.
So do horses like this or
Yes they like it, this procedure is required for good health, and it doesn't cause them pain. Info taken from elsewhere on this thread.

I can't tell, was the hoof looking normal at the beginning, or did it have some kind of build up or infection? And those black pieces sticking out of the sides at the end that they had to file off... Were those normal?
What’s with Denethorse and its tomato feet?
Quality farrier work
I always wondered if horses can actually appreciate their new shoes, like will they feel better walking afterwards and such? Otherwise it would just be proof for their patience and good nature standing on three legs for that long while some guy does weird shit to your nails.

horse shoe cleaning is very satisfying to watch tbh
I would be so afraid of hurting the horse and in consequence be hurt by the horse
I rode horses for two years in middle school and i volenteered at the ranch in the summer between those two years, it was definatley one of the best things i ever did I taught and guided 10 year olds and helped them learn to ride,I was also able to completley ready a horse for riding and demount all the equippment all on my own, i gave the horses showers, combed their hair and even rode without a saddle once (with a teacher of course) and i even took home a horseshoe to hang on my wall I remember the manicure days, the horses dont feel pain, they actualy dont really mind all the attention, its so satisfying to watch, one of my favourite parts of my lessons was to pick up the horse's hooves one by one and clean out all the dirt inside before the ride begins Horses are huge and powerful and i was terrified on my first few weeks but they're so sweet and gentle and intuitive, horses are still and have always been one of my favourite animals but getting all up close and personal with one was so amazing, especialy since they remember people and can be very loving if they favor you TLDR, go pet a horse if you ever get the chance, their muzzles are suprisingly soft and they love treats, literaly just giant hooved dogs
Never realised the nail comes out through the top.
I always find this kind of video satisfying

It's good to have them taken care of whenever it's due. It helps keep their feet strong and healthy.
There are horses in the wild, I'm guessing they don't need shoes. Why does a domesticated horse need shoes? Seriously, I have no idea
Satisfying !
Woah horses leg went from black to white

This job pays very well! Typical farriers earn 100k with experience. It’s a pretty easy gig.
Any way to ensure those nails aren’t on show at the end?
So you start with a black horse and end up with a white horse.
You wanna always have work and make good money? Become a Ferrier. We struggled so hard to get one and he had to travel all over.
Is there a subreddit with exclusively content like this?
So that’s where we get coconut shavings !
