I am really really happy this wk. My E.P. has been ( or is that Seth's :p ) and done a fantastic job with both Seth,s 'Plates of Meat', and his reluctance to hold his feet up.
After my moan last week on Bobbin's thread, I feel humbled by the amount of time and care taken to work with the 'Lumpy One'.
He was so relaxed by the end,and remained so all evening.
Unfortunately I can't have him booted at the mo,as his feet are an odd size to fit, but E.P. thinks he'll be fine without.:D (he had appeared footsore,but it turns out he had bruised his hoof wall).
I have bought a Bosch Prio cordless sander today, in the vain hope that I can roll the edges of his hooves quicker, as it kills my back,trying to bend and file.(I will be very tentative and careful,so as not to remove his whole hoof!!:eek: :eek: ) I will let you know how I get on.
YIPPEE i'm riding again!:D :D :D

That's great news :) It's a shame about the boots but hopefully he'll be ok, Saff has never (touch wood, fingers crossed) needed boots and long may it continue :)

We do need some piccies though :D

Good news, glad to hear it :) I had the same trimmer to my instructors foot handling shy pony we had been working with and she did a cracking job with him too :)
