@Samdracott_Farrier's ASMR content showed him expertly removing a horseshoe from a horse.
Sam Dracott was filmed in the oddly satisfying footage cleaning up one of his horse's hooves.
He told Sky News: 'It's an amazing and surreal feeling that a video of me doing my day-to-day work has accumulated over 270 million views.
'Farriery is a trade that has gone on for hundreds of years, so it's really incredible that people are so interested in a video of me shoeing a horse.
'I receive a lot of messages asking how I got into my trade, how can someone become a farrier, what qualifications I took.
'It's a very physical profession that requires a lot of skill and patience to master the craft, but equally the most satisfying and rewarding job.'
Many commented on the horse's reaction, with one person writing: 'Horse be like: I got my nails done.'

On Christmas Day in 2021, she was rushed to hospital with an infected kidney stone that led to septic shock.
The mother-of-two had to be put into an induced coma and was on life support for 10 days.

Using spray-paint, the worker impressively creates the signage by going over extremely faded markings from a previous sign.

Another individual wrote: 'Dang I wish I could have that stable hand,' while a third said: 'Wow, so talented.'
