Emergency Horse Shoe removal UNBRIDLED!

[johnta07]

2:13...look how the horse looking at her like " bitch do you know what u are doing with my feet?!"

[mycrazycatXD]

I have 2 horses thats the one think i hate cause the shoes i get are a total of $6,000 each and replace tgem every 6 weeks? So when i moved and went to another barn they give yoi free shoes cuz tge owner makes likes to meke them :)

[MallenMaggie]

i'm impressed at how easily she understood that. It's take me a longer time!

[wh0reship]

such a fabulous video! im so glad you asked questions and broke it down!

[Doodorz]

It's crazy how the horse just lets the guy take the horse shoe off. Usually with other animals when you try to help them with something they struggle and wont let you do it without force. I like how calm they are.

[Maniamanea]

@Doodorz It's because it's used to it. Its very important that you train the horse from a very young age to lift its leg and be comfotable with humans holding its legs.

such a beutiful horse

[threekill28]

Wait idk nothing about horses but do they need horse shoe or what I'm just asking?

[fearlessrider123]

@threekill28 Yes and no, between how a horse is built and how vigorous and strenuous that horses activity, Horse shoes can give longevity and support. Other horses are fine "barefoot" and require only regular trims.

[fiddler9635]

@threekill28 Depends on the horse, and the terrain they are ridden in. Some horses need shod every 4 weeks, but the majority that are shod receive shoes every 6-8 weeks. However if you ride in soft pastures, dont ride at all or when your horse almost builds up a callous on his toe, a shoe may not be necessary. If you have any questions, or want a further explanation, just ask. I am a farrier in the Northwestern Arkansas area

[HarryandApril]

great thanks

[horselovers71]

Thanks for posting it!! I've got only barefoot horses (naturale way). I'm going remove the shoes today from our new horse. I hope it goes just as easy.....

[ddtheking23]

doesnt that hurt the horsey?!

[themyspacethug]

@ddtheking23 Dumbass if it hurt the horse it would be making noise.

[fearlessrider123]

@ddtheking23 No, horse hooves are the same as our finger nails, they feel no pain, only and maybe pressure and dull tapping while shoes are applied and removed!

[AphroditeAllure]

@fearlessrider123 UNLESS you go to far and cut the quick or nail it in wrong, theres BONES in there!

This is why I prefer mules, they don't need shoes really

[Smrobs84]

Even some mules need shoes. Most horses really don't. It all depends on the individual animal and what type of hoof they have or any issues that may need corrective shoeing. Also, some horses must have shoes in order to have security like studs for eventing or police work.

[DJBelbe]

any horse can go without shoes if u get the chance to have him livin on rocks most of the time, I mean, even my thoroughbred wich had butter soft hooves can handle it now. Problem is stalls or soft footing... wich is wa most of us can get unfortunately :(

[trackandfield0214]

i thought shoes are good cause they help in rough trails

[Ntrlhrsgrl]

with the right conditioning and care, a horse can move over almost anything without shoes.

[min54teresa]

If the nails are clenched real tight, you have file into of the hoof wall to get the clench out & then create a clear route to pull the nails through. So if you have a horse with weak hoof walls you're creating potential problems, however in an emergency you must choose the lesser of 2 evils.

Shoes are unnatural for the foot and done for man's convenience & I'll be working on getting my mare sound in her barefeet.After all she was born barefooted.But thank God for caring farriers.

[Ntrlhrsgrl]

I agree! :)

[min54teresa]

@Ntrlhrsgrl -You'll be glad to know that Tari, Harry, Bailey, & Little Man have been barefoot for 3 trimmings now and everyone's doing fine.  Tari has the 'no heel' deal & Bailey's foundered a couple time.Harry has one weird foot like his Dam, Tari & everyone's happy. I should mention that they've all been on wet ground over the winter & still fine.

They'll all show sensitivity when we walk over our rock driveway.but hell, so do I when I walk barefoot over the rocks. You think I'd learn. ;}

[Ntrlhrsgrl]

that's awesome. I love hearing about happy barefoot horses. My boy has never had shoes on, and he has fantastic feet. He wears easyboots if we're doing lots of roadwork but he's mostly fine over pretty much anything. :D

[Ntrlhrsgrl]

Shoes destroy horses legs.

[xlxOrtizxlx]

No they don't destroy horse's legs,,, come on ., tell me why then

[Amobeatles]

that horse is so cute!

[SusanKayne]

Believe me, the MustaD kit is way better than the hammer & buff! Been there, done that! What do you do withyour horse(s)?

[KillerMetas]

lol unbridled thats probs because the horse is broken in well not because of the technique that you pulle the shoe off

and yeah im like 15 and using a buff and hammer to bend the tip of the nail straight also works.

btw good video

[DesaiDynasty]

[DesaiDynasty]

lol

[RiotClan]

what a good mellow horse. I bet farriers wish all horses were that well behaved. My horse liked to play with the farrier's hair, pants, belt. She'd take full advantage 'cause his butt was facing her, lol!

[SusanKayne]

That's my boy Duncan! Best horse I ever owned. Now in heaven with those who have gone before him.

[mongo1prince]

Your right... that horse is so well behaved, with a horse like that you don't even need him tethered up to work his hooves

[ctjerseyfarmer3]

first things firt if you have a person use s tand to rasp cliches tell them not to put knee behind horse foot they can yank fast enough and there goes their knee and if plced in between your legs show to stand more to the side then then behind horse so you can get away just things i have learned. good video though

[natscann]

well, im a farrier and if u dont have a rasp and only a set of pullers, u may use a hammer and buffer so the head of the nail becones straight and for an easy removal, notice how he said we didnt pull at the hoof wall, that's because they rasped the heads of the nails flat and didnt just pull off, this is harder then it looks, and clinchers are for finishing when u u tighten the nails, mate

[jimmyreinforcements]

Not true. (Below comment.) If you are not a farrier and need to remove a shoe rasping is the easiest way. Using a clinch cutter can be very difficult for the uninitiated - (cutter in one hand, hammer in the other, horse's leg between you own.) Not to mention that if you hit the cutter with the hammer and miss the clinch you risk slicing your leg or your horse's.

[Karletto555]

instead of rasping its more easy to use a special tool (dont know the name) that with hammering flatens the nails (outside the hoof)

[2horsesforme]

Very useful!!

[polomarey]

Very useful. I've had to pull a shoe in an emergency a dozen or more times in my life. It always took at least a half hour and I'd end up with bloody knuckles. Good to know what I was doing wrong.
