When they're hooves are too hard it's usually from them being kept on hard dry ground or concrete if they're kept in a pasture they're hooves won't get hard like that and the only way to cut them when they're hard like that is to torch them first

I always use to think in the back of my head "there's no way the horse shoes don't hurt somehow" and this man just put a torch to the hoof and that horse did not move an inch. Guess that cleared away that thought forever lmao (Just a random watcher, not involved with horses at all. So the thoughts are from someone not at all educated about horses. Lol)

The farrier drives the horseshoe nails thru what would be on a human the part of the fingernail that sticks out past the finger. It doesnt hurt the horse at all as long as its done right. Theres a bone in the very center of the hoof called the "coffin bone". Surrounding that is sensitive connective tissue, "padding like" tissue and blood vessels. Then the hoof starts. Its similar in makeup to a human nail, but extremely thick compared to our nails. Like inches thick. The outer hoof kind of acts like a shoe around the sensitive inner hoof. It doesnt hurt the horse to apply heat or drive nails thru the outer hoof anymore than it would hurt a human to do that to your shoe, as long as the nail didnt go into your foot.

What hurts about them is the joints over time. Imagine wearing metal shoes all the time and never being able to take them off. All the shock that would be absorbed by your foot if it was normal clangs on the metal shoes and goes right up to the ankles, knees and hips. I remember wearing my football studs as a kid and walking over the concrete on the way to the pitch was horrible, I can't imagine the discomfort these poor horses live in, there such compliant, sweet animals and humans walk all over them :(

@Fighting For Animals I am not a proponent of shoeing every horse just because.There are plenty of wonderful barefoot trim options and temporary boots out there. That being said, shoeing does have a place for horses with certain medical or conformation issues. A well designed custom shoe package can keep that horse sound. In addition, the few horses that still do pulling work and spend a lot of time walking on roads need shoes as their soles will wear down quickly and hurt the horse severely. So shoeing is not a universal evil or anything.

@@childofcascadiayep, horseshoes are situational. And a flat piece of metal that's securely attached to your foot is not the same as spiky soled shoes like in cleats. Not to disparage the guy above you, but shoes are completely painless for the horse and in cases where they're needed actually prevent painful damage from occuring to the hooves Definitely not needed all the time tho. I'm not an expert on how horseshoes show wear, but based on several other comments on this video from people more knowledgeable than me this horse's shoes had almost no wear, especially considering how long they would have had to be on for a hoof to get so severely overgrown. This horse definitely does not need shoes

That had to be about 20 weeks of growth! I was really surprised how good the hoof looked though afterwards. The only real distortion I saw was a slight "jam" in the lateral hairline. Hoof rings were evenly spaced from what I could see and looked like he might be a little flat footed. Good structural integrity on those appy hooves! Impressive.

Quick question about hoof care. Can you soak hooves in warm water first before trying to clip and style the hooves for arid climates? I have read a long ways back that it helped as long as you do two a day to prevent you and your horse from tiring out, plus it helps build trust if you do it often. Another question. How many times is recommended for caring for your horse hooves? Clip and shoe them every few weeks? I just had enough practice from a childhood of horseback riding and a Girl Scouts field trip to know to clean away pebbles, dirt and rocks from hooves after a ride. ^^

While it's nowhere near the worst I've ever seen on channels like this, it's still a lot of growth, and must have caused the horse some discomfort in his legs, which would lead to lameness eventually. If all they want is a horse-shaped decoration to stand around looking pretty, they should just buy a lawn ornament.
