I had a nice quarter horse that I showed (he is gone now). I always put "rimshoes" on his rear hooves. I got a new farrier and he never had a pair of "rimshoes" in his stock. I always made him bring a pair when he shod my horse and apparently it was a real pain in the rear for him. One day he called me "rimshoes" in front of the whole barn and it just stuck.
Well, since I CHANGED MY SCREEN NAME, THE ABOVE NO LONGER APPLIES !!
NOW I call myself the "Guinea Goonie" because I have fallen head over heels for these wacky, playful and wondrous birds.
They are such "goones" and I am Goonie about them.
