23rd June, 2014 Making Allowances

I always allow half an hour to catch Anna before the farrier arrives just in case she regresses badly in the eight week gap between visits. These days she comes up to put her nose in the head collar and ordinarily I would leave an owner to it way before this stage. However, Anna's owners are not so sprightly and like the peace of mind of having me there to catch her. Given the additional time, Tracey and I like to give her a good groom or massage and today we saved her from the relentless horseflies that were plaguing her.




Back out on the Forest, Nelly and Blue have plenty of ponies to choose from for mutual grooming. Nelly's favourite choice of partner is 'Exmoor' the New Forest Pony. She's got fabulous ears.
