3rd June, 2010 Anna Part I









I received an urgent e-mail about this pony, Anna, who is in desperate need of having her feet trimmed after a gap of six months or more. Anna is ten years old and was an unexpected surprise when her owner's bought a New Forest foal that turned out to be pregnant. Although she has been hand fed, she has not been handled and until now her feet have been trimmed under sedation secreted in sandwiches. To everyone's amazement, she turned out to really like being touched and accepted the scarf very easily. After that it was relatively easy to put her headcollar on and to lift her feet up.
