The Big V: Handsome neighs, everyone. How are you all? We have been enjoying the fresh grass that has been growing thanks to the rain we've had lately. Yesterday, it was time for another round of hooficures for us! Mr. P, the farrier arrived at 10am, so #1 had to get up early! And guess what? Mr. G and Ms. N came along too! It was great to see everyone!
Miss Violette went first. #1 held Violette still at the beginning, and then Ms. L took over. Ollie supervised throughout, or rather, he was after the soft hoof bits knowns as "frogs" which are very smelly and apparently a delicacy for woofies!
I got to go next, and Mr. G was the one to hold me some of the time, along with Ms. L. It was the first time he held a horse for the farrier!
Needless to say, we got lots of apples, and even pears afterwards! It was a fun morning!
We enjoyed the footnotes 🤭
ReplyDeleteGood job Mr G, helping out!
new shoes? fantabulous... now you can walk and run through fall without taking a fall...
ReplyDeleteLucky you to find yummy hoof frogs, Ollie!
ReplyDeleteVery interesting ordeal ... but glad it's all done and everyone is happy with apples and pears! (and frogs LOL)
ReplyDeleteWe are thrilled you had such a great & tasty day visiting The Horse Doggies!

PeeEssWoo Hi Ollie - you would have loved the place I was fostered - horses and chickens!
You two look like you behaved very well for your hooficures.
ReplyDeleteOllie, we are grossed out!
ReplyDeleteYou sweeties are so good at that!!!
ReplyDeleteGetting apples makes hooficures easier!
ReplyDeleteI am so glad your hooves are seen to regularly. Apples and pears, it was a good day.
ReplyDeleteJava Bean: "Ayyy, you horses do have a fancy foot care regime! Mama does something similar to her own feet sometimes with some kind of abrasive board, but she doesn't get pears or apples afterwards!"
