Continental horse "No matter how good a horse is, if it has pain, it has an impact on the value of the horse." CKUR Chinese League Knights League Equestrian Club nailing master Guo Huayi said.
The new Internet celebrity "Repair Hoof" has an attraction that cannot be ignored in the Internet world, and many friends have joined the team of "Cloud Repair Hoof", and the video of brushing "nailing horseshoes" is a few hours! Watching the nail hoof master clicking and chopping off some useless things, everyone said that it was super decompressing and cured "obsessive-compulsive disorder" for many years.
"Hoof repair" is even more important for horses, and without hooves there is no horse, and horses regularly nail their hooves not only for beauty, but also for health.
This time, the person behind the influencer, the nailing hoofmaster, takes us to unveil the mystery of this work.
Changed from equestrian instructor to hoofsmith
Guo Huayi, the hoofsmith of the CKUR Chinese League Knights League Equestrian Club, has been engaged in nailing hooves for 20 years and is one of the earliest nailers in China. He said, "The health of horses' legs and hooves is very important for horses. ”
Guo Huayi's bond with the nail hoof master is his love and cherishment of horses. Originally entered the equestrian industry, also as an equestrian instructor, but once went to the countryside with several horse owners to ride horses, suddenly felt a horse's hind legs were uncomfortable, when everyone found out that the horse's hooves had been worn a little badly, Master Guo recalled: "At that time, the horse owner was very distressed, just like adults looking at children, his expression deeply touched me." ”
Later, he found a nail hoof master to check, repair soft rubber and pads to re-repair the nail horseshoe, which also became an opportunity for Master Guo to switch to a nail hoof master.
This has been 20 years, and I have been in CKUR for more than 6 years, and said: "The Chinese League's Knights League has cultivated many talents in equestrian over the years, and I am very happy to be able to play an important role in teamwork as a member of the club." ”
"I think I chose this industry right"
Because the cherishing of horses has turned into a nailing hoofmaster, the love for horses is in every daily life, love for every horse, and treat them equally, and this love has become a "responsibility" deeply rooted in Master Guo's heart.
"I like all the horses in the farm, whether they are warm-blooded horses or domestic horses, whether they are white or red," says Master Guo, "because I am responsible for the health of my hooves, and every horse is very important to me." ”
Although the industry of nailing hooves is dirty and tiring, every time he sees a horse that has nailed his hooves on the field and achieves good results with his partner riders, Master Guo believes that the sweat he sheds behind the scenes is very worthwhile. "Do your best to keep all horses' hooves healthy and prolong their sporting careers." It was Master Guo who insisted on the direction of his efforts, and Master Guo and his apprentices worked all day to ensure the safety of the 300 horses of the CKUR League of Chinese League Knights.
When taking apprentices, Master Guo is also dedicated, he understands that the beginner apprentices do not last long, "I try to pass on my skills to my apprentices as much as possible, so that my apprentices can continue to carry forward." ”
The cost of each horseshoe nailing hoof is 600~1000 yuan, and the master can nail up to 8 horses a day, but there are less than 100 national certified hoof nailing masters. Ordinary people, ordinary days, hard work, hard sweat, in exchange for the safety of horses and riders, they are also the behind-the-scenes heroes of riders!
20 years of persistence and excellence, the "craftsman spirit" is vividly embodied. Finally, Master Guo said, "I think I chose this industry right. ”
