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!
For my human, who does photography, hot shoe means something completely different to her than it does to you two!
ReplyDeleteYou both look furry handsome !
ReplyDeleteGlad you got your treatbuckets after getting new shoes :)
XOXO
We guess it doesn't hurt to have hot shoes or does the farrier cool them down first ?
ReplyDeleteThe thought of having shoes nailed on make Mum's eyes water! Hope you get lots and lots of treats.
ReplyDeleteLuv Hannah and Lucy xx xx
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.
ReplyDeleteOur Mommy was doing ok until she saw that pink nose spot! It melts her into a pile of goo.
ReplyDelete>>Smooches<< being sent!
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.
ReplyDeleteYou two look mighty fancy and we send nose smoochies to you both!
ReplyDeleteA hoof-a-cure and treats! A perfect day

The two of you were very patient during that process. We wondered if that hot shoe hurt?
ReplyDeleteYou stay very calm during your shoe process, you're brave ! You both are pawsome (or hoofsome ?) ! Purrs
ReplyDeleteMa p'tite jument aussi était ferrée à chaud tu temps où elle était ferrée !
ReplyDeleteVous 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

Looking mighty fine. It has always amazed me watching the shoe with the very hot glowing shoe.
ReplyDeleteMowzers, that's petty cool! (and we have it on excellent authority that pink noses are irresistible to humans! *wink*!)
ReplyDeleteKissy kissy on your pink spot, Vidock, from the Momster:) Doesn't it hurt to get those hot shoes on?
ReplyDeleteWoos - Phantom, Ciara, and Lightning
Smoochies for both of your noses.
ReplyDeleteYou two do so good with the farrier! Lovely pictures of the two of you!
ReplyDeleteYou guys get treat BUCKETS??? OMC I wanna be a horse!!
ReplyDeleteHow in the world did I miss you two!!! But here I am today.
ReplyDeleteOur mom wishes she could be there to help give both the V's kisses.
