Ouch. That must have been tough to hear. :-\
But I'm glad Bay's more comfy now! And maybe he'll have some ideas for what would work for him come spring, huh?
Yeah - but I was prepared for it, after the beating I already took on the farrier forum ;~\
I’m not positive I’ll be able to keep him on for the long term, I don’t know if he really wants a permanent client, but maybe. I think he’ll find me a good farrier if he doesn’t want to do it. He’ll see me through the next few months at least.
He pulled a skeleton of the lower leg of the horse with all the foot bones and started ranting about the way the shoe sat and how it affected the inner workings of the foot, and swinging that leg around and holding it up next to Bay... who was looking at him a little wide eyed at that point.
You can tell he was a good teacher. ;~)
