Thankful Thursday!


Violette: Pretty Neighs, Everyone! You didn't expect me to post today, did you? Well, I have something to be thankful for, so here I am. Other than the fact that #1 is back so I am once again getting my apples and carrots, the farrier came yesterday and I got a pedi and new shoes! Now, there are several different ways to shoe a horse and our farrier goes in for hot-shoeing. Look:


Yes! That's my shoe you see there in the background, glowing red!

And here it is being fitted:


All done!


Then I got my treat bucket, of course!


Vidock: I also got my feet done yesterday. In my case, I get shoes on all four feet (Violette only gets them on her front feet as she doesn't do heavy work for now and she shares a field with a bunch of other horses who are not shod).



And how about a nice portrait of my studly self?


In case you're wondering, the pink spot on my nose got covered in kisses whilst I was being shod. That #1!!!!!! Oh, and I got my share of treats too!

  1. For my human, who does photography, hot shoe means something completely different to her than it does to you two!

  3. We guess it doesn't hurt to have hot shoes or does the farrier cool them down first ?

  4. The thought of having shoes nailed on make Mum's eyes water! Hope you get lots and lots of treats.

  5. Great pictures. But doesn't putting that HOT shoe on hurt your hoof - or is a hoof so thick that you don't even feel it. I'm guessing that must be the case because you are standing their so calm.

  6. Our Mommy was doing ok until she saw that pink nose spot! It melts her into a pile of goo.

  7. You two are looking great and glad you got some nice new shoes. Hot shoeing is the best way to do it. They can fit the shoe so much better to the hoof. Have a great day.

  10. The two of you were very patient during that process. We wondered if that hot shoe hurt?

  11. You stay very calm during your shoe process, you're brave ! You both are pawsome (or hoofsome ?) ! Purrs

  12. Ma p'tite jument aussi était ferrée à chaud tu temps où elle était ferrée !
    Vous êtes très sages tous les deux. Vous méritez bien vos récompenses.
    Profites bien du plaisir de partager un pré Mademoiselle Violette. Si un jour tu es ferrée des 4 ça ne sera plus possible.

    Bonne soirée

  13. Looking mighty fine. It has always amazed me watching the shoe with the very hot glowing shoe.

  14. Mowzers, that's petty cool! (and we have it on excellent authority that pink noses are irresistible to humans! *wink*!)

  15. Kissy kissy on your pink spot, Vidock, from the Momster:) Doesn't it hurt to get those hot shoes on?
