Good feet
What a relief! I have been trying to get a farrier for months. After the local guy left, I found the names of a couple of others. The first on the list never answered my calls. The next was too busy, but recommended his new protege - a young gal named Kate. I worried a bit because of Red's size, but I'd be the last person in the world to let sex alone be the judge, so we set it up and she came at 8:00 this morning.
Was it the Quietex or did Red really love having his hooves cut, rasped and filed? Or did he just like Kate? He was an angel. So was Sparkler. Kate was done with both in a half hour.
She says Red's feet are perfect, despite the light color. She says color has nothing to do with their toughness. Sparkler's feet show a tendency to wear more on one side (don't remember if she said inside or outside), and grew faster than Red's. Another 8 weeks and I'm calling Kate again!
