Vidock and Violette Vendredi

 

The Big V: Handsome Neighs Everyone! Miss Violette and I are hosting today's post to tell you all about our hooficures yesterday! It had been a while since we had seen the farrier and #1 was getting worried about the length of our hooves. But several farriers have given up farriering in the area over the past few months, and it has become really difficult to find one! #1 was basically wringing her hands in despair, and then she spoke with someone at a Percheron event about a week back, who told her she had a great farrier who was fairly new to the business, and he was willing to travel some distance. #1 contacted him and realised she had met him before when he had helped out at Ms. C's for a while a few years back. Anyneigh, he agreed to come and he came as planned yesterday.

He started with me. My great love, Ms. L, was holding me.

#1 was a little worried because I now have some arthritis in my hind legs and she had been told that it was no longer possible to lift them to trim. Well... the wonderful Mr. P managed without a problem!

Here is a nice pic where you can see me being done, and Miss Violette is patiently waiting her turn:

Then it was Violette's turn:

She snuggled with #1 some of the time;

We of course got carrots afterwards! We now have perfect feet and #1 is happy! Until the next time, Mr. P!
