All Shoes Pulled 11/30
Except for Elvis
The Farrier came on Friday and pulled all shoes for the winter, except for Elvis who is going to wear shoes and snow pads on his back feet this winter. We are doing this because his feet grew so crooked and funny last winter - all splayed out to the outside. I don't have any pictures but it made him pretty cow hocked.
It was fun because the farrier also did a demonstration of horse shoeing for a first/second grade class of gifted school children from a small private school in Denver. They are studying fire and he showed them how fire and heat played a role in shoeing a horse.
If I get photos from the school, I'll post them.
