New farrier has been and gone :~)

Here's Bay's right front:

Rest of the pictures of his other feet HERE at photobucket

If you want to compare to the last shoe job... the old pictures are about half-way down on this thread: Horse.com forum... A look at Bay's foot

His right hind is bandaged because we had a bit of a mishap. The shoer was on one side, working on the back, and he thought (or had a moment of not thinking) that he could just give his cart a push and roll it under Bay to the other side. Bay freaked out and left the ground, came down on the cart, dumping the contents and cutting his leg on it. Not bad, we just cleaned it up and wrapped it to stop the bleeding and keep it clean. Bay was a little tense and difficult for the rest of the job... He won't soon forget the new shoer's scary cart. New shoer learned something about A-rab horses too, I think ;~)

Well what do you think of them now?

Did the guy talk much, explain things?

Too bad about the accident...was he embrassed?

I noticed, no pads...what did he say about that, was that OK with you?

What did he say about Cyn’s feet?

Did he make any comments about the old shoe job?

We need details:)

Looks like a really good job to me. The shoes have good placement and his toes and heels look good. So what do you think about it? Did you like the guy, other than the fact that he injured your horse? And I wanna see Cyn’s foot too. Her bare foot will tell the tale. And how did Pony do? Questions, questions questions!! ;o)

*tsk* *tsk* *tsk* He'll know better next time. :-) I'm surprised that he did that.
