Toe trimming



It was very cold standing in the wind holding the horses still for the farrier today. I feel like I was gypped....the weather forecast was for 58 degrees today and it's at least ten below that with a strong southeast wind. The horses decided to be difficult today too. Our mild mannered sorrel Te was intent on nipping my gloves, and he is never lippy. The only thing I can figure is that he didn't like the smell of the deerskin. Otherwise it was fun standing in the cold, scolding the horse for trying to bite my hands and then paying for the pleasure. Three horses, three manicures every six weeks....it adds up.
