Farrier visit on 19th

The day dawned bright and sunny for once. Farrier arrived on time too...so it was off to a good start.

We started the day with Molson and his bad front foot. Farrier is now thinking maybe a tight tendon...but that to me seems a little off and he had never mentioned anything like that before and you'd think that by the age of 2 I would have noticed that something was not right with the foot.

Molson was NOT a good boy to start off with. Rob tuned him in but good and he finally stood still like a good boy. Those hormones are sure playing havoc with his brain. Rob still really likes him even with the attitude. Said he is one stunning piece of muscled horseflesh. LOL

The rest of the horses were well behaved for the most part. A few instances of "I don't want to stand right here cause I can't see anyone else"...and one of "OUCH...that is my bad leg".

Dolly, out of everyone, was the most unsure of having her feet done. We usually do them inside when they have a foal but it was such a nice day that we tried for outside. It took us about 10 minutes for her to finally relax and let Rob pick up a foot. Phoenix was a holy terror...running around like his tail was on fire for most of the trimming on his mom.

Rob also looked at his feet - just a visual as we haven't done any halter work with the little man yet. He said he looks okay...but could use a bit of a trim up the next time he is over.

But all in all it was a good day.

We also did the shots and worming on everyone.

I had wanted to measure everyone - mainly the youngsters - for height but just didn't manage to get that in.
