For those that have not seen a horse being shod before, what you just saw was an expert horseman doing what was needed for the benefit of the horse. A horse cannot work everyday barefoot because, his hooves will deteriorate to the point that it will become lame without shoes. Baron did well for the first time. Few people are fortunate enough, to witness this type of an event

Like any high skilled job such as being a farrier the people who do it every day make it look easy. My family had 60 or more horses on a pmu farm. So we all could trim the feet for walking around raising a foal . But it is very hard on the back.Wish we had a stock like that

❤ just love that Baron, what a horse he is turning out for you both. As just a comment, in the UK it is a criminal offence to shoe horses without formal farrier training and registration. I'm sure that you know what you are doing Jim. My grandfather was in the Royal Artillery during WW1. He joined up as a ploughman so already had a great deal of horse knowledge. Whilst in the army he trained and passed out as a shoeing Smith and fought in France and the Baltics.

In some European countries, two men shoe. One holds the hoof, and one trims and shoes. I didn't know that one could go straight to the stocks without working with their feet first. Oxen require stocks when being shod, and it is common and practical with draft horses. Jim is not cruel to his animals, nor is Brenda. Not to sound smarmy, but Jim is a horseman to look up to, and absorb good horsemanship from. Outstanding picture of Buck. It is an emotional experience for me, too. Baron is being so good and level headed.

I had never seen stocks before until i watched this channel, If you have ever picked up a horses feet you know how heavy they can be and if you have a horse with a tendency to lean it makes things twice as heavy. Draft horses are really heavy without the stocks. you cannot train a draft horse to just stand there without stocks and not lean on you while you are working. Baron is 5 years old he hasn't had his feet done that often so this is very new to him. that being said, he is taking to this like a duck to water. For Jim's sake he really needs to be in stocks. He is doing this like a pro. You have to think of the safety of the stocks he is tied in there and if the horse looses his footing he has safety chains around the barrel of his belly so he can regain his standing position very quickly without going down. If the safety chains were not there the horse could go down and seriously hurt himself. Horses hoofs are heavy just being regular horses but the draft horse is so much more heavy it can also do serious harm to your back if he continuously pulling and pushing his feet it can get very tire some and extremely heavy for Jim doing the trimming and shoeing. The stocks are safer for the horse and the person doing farrier work. in fact most farriers prefer stocks as opposed to free handing the work and could charge you more for not having stocks.

Jim, I feel you as trimming cattle for a afternoon is a very good project also. Baron with just front shoes will give him time to get use to them and be less accident prone than wearing four shoes the first time. How slippery are they on blacktop if startled a little? Brenda sure moved quick when Baron did, which is good as a video isn’t worth injury.

It seemed that Baron was quite interested when you made the spread on the shoes ... he seemed to really watch you and look to you for comfort and attention. I like to think he wasn't so much thinking about biting you as to see what you were doing and get your attention. Hope you have some shots of him on his new shoes. Brenda, I liked your commonsense moving away when Baron got nervous and how you comforted him too. Teamwork shows with you and JIm. I've liked your newsletter since I subscribed.

Hi Jim, I have never heard of shoeing a horse in stocks. In Australia we train our horses to have their feet picked up - Their feet tapped and rubbed as part of their everyday training. If done correctly your horse will have it's first set of shoes fitted with minimal fuss and no restraints necessary. I will admit it can be a little bit hard on your back at times.

I understand why you opted to leave off the drilltec; however, plain shoes are like skates on pavement. No doubt telling you something you already know. Had a horse shy into the road with plates on, slipped fell & had a helluva time getting back up. Had to get off. Drilltec for me, realize it torques the legs; but, lesser or two evils. Baron was very good. That horse has an excellent mind.

Just a question as I only had stock horses. We handled their feet daily to pick up, clean, treat thrust...why don't people with drafts do the same things? Wouldn't it be easier to train them like stock horse to left up their feet. I know drafts do it as I seen it. Just something alot draft people don't train to do. Just thinking of emergency if you need to touch their feet without a stock, what do you do? I just curious as to why? No hate by any means just wanting to know and learn.

I admit when I saw the title, I did not want to watch it because I have seen so many horses shod, to the point of boredom. I really like this horse stock. After watching shoers lose their temper with an impatient horse, and seeing the horse and shoer end up on a bad note, I believe a stock like this would be everyone's dream. Plus the saving of the shoers back, and no chance of injury to him. It does not hurt the horse one bit. And all ends on a better note.
