A day of horses

My farrier, Mr. M, and I were talking last month when he came to trim the horses, how Poco's feet grow nearly twice as fast as Sage's do.
So before he left last time he gave me a rasp and a few pointers on how to trim up Poco's feet.
Pretty simple really, stay mostly away from his heels since they didn't grow fast and just kinda roll the rasp of his toes.

 Ashes wondered what on earth was this new type of food I was about to give her.

After a few trips to the garage and back, I finally had my gloves, hoof pick, rasp and horse treats-you know, in case I needed to "persuade" Poco into doing something.
The front feet are easy, and though Poco is good at getting them away from me, he didn't manage this time.
I think he is really growing up. *Sniff*. He used to be such a brat when it came to his feet, but now he is so good with them.

That's not a very happy face :(

I did it!

I have to admit, picking up the back feet is a little intimadating, but surprisingly enough, he's better with his back feet than his front! Imagine that, putting up less fuss.

Its not very clean because every time he puts it back down, its full with mud again.

Sage wanted a treat to, so I cleaned her hooves and fed her alfalfa cubes too.

Sage: I want some more.

I am going to ride later too, if it's not too cold and I'm not too lazy.

Until then.
