This is a great video demonstrating step-by-step how to remove a horse’s shoe in case of an emergency. Certified Journeyman Farrier Andrew Elsbree very calmly and clearly demonstrates the process and then leads a novice through as well. I’m not sure all horses would stand as calmly as the demo horse, but this demonstration should help you feel calm and confident about
what you’re doing so that you can convey the “Don’t worry, everything will be alright” attitude to your horse. Then you can take care of a shoe emergency so your horse isn’t in pain waiting for the farrier to arrive.
