Horses!

Pretty good thanks, you!?

Great! Just drinking my morning smoothie debating whether I want to go out in the 100F weather and put up fence

Farrier day. Let's hope we get a patient one this time.

Hoping you do too! I always get anxiety with new farriers.

Our old farrier was fantastic and the horses loved her, incidentally the only woman farrier we'd been able to get, and she isn't trimming anymore. This new one seems to have a sizable ego, which doesn't go over well with the horses, especially the mustang. Max should do fine, and I'm hoping he'll be cleared for riding today, but we'll see about the mare and mustang. They're tricky customers.

Anybody noticed that grey's like rolling more than chestnuts? My grey will NOT stay clean.

Don't be ridiculous, everyone knows grays never roll in the mud.

They wallow in it

I love the look your horse is giving you in the first picture!

Those are the ones that scare me. When I was 13 I had a pony that was abused by a man so of course she was naturally hesitant around men. The only farriers around were men so when the hot shot farrier arrived I told him she had been abused by a man, but if he approached her calmly and gently she usually was fine. Well he didn’t. He went in there with the “well she will learn or else” attitude and was anything, but calm or gentle to start. Long story short it ended with him hog tying her, flipping her on her ribs which cracked them and beating her with a hammer. I was the only other person there in the barn and as a 13 year old girl I was absolutely terrified. I’m not going to lie I thought about going after him with the hammer as soon as he set it down, but yeah that horse was never the same and ever since I am very anxious when a new farrier shows up.
