Farrier visit~"metal"~Sunday stills Challenge082210





Not the last time my farrier came to do the "herd", but back in March, I wandered around, camera in hand, and took these photos. Not this time, however~ I had to hold each horse and I couldn't balance my camera and pay attention! I'm glad I took these photos because it was interesting to see all the sizes of the horseshoes in the back of his truck. He mostly does thoroughbreds and he is VERY patient with each horse that he does. He and his assistant talk softly and, in Cali and Quad's cases, they almost fall asleep! He was even able to trim Sunni's back hooves this visit (not the first one, however), and Sunni has decided that he's a pretty good guy! Sunday Stills Challenge~"metal"~for August 22,2010.

    I've never seen a horse shoe set-up like that. Very nicely organized. Good pictures, too!

  5. I went the shoe route, also. But you win per quantity!! Like the first one.

  6. Wow, isn't that just the neatest set up??? You captured it very nicely too!

    Thank goodness for good farriers! Mine is very quiet and confident with the horses too.
