The farrier came out to give everyone their pedicures. As usual the babies where a pain in the BUTT but they are both getting better about it. The older horses where a dream as they always are. Then we get to Katie, her feet where not as bad as they could have been considering where she was before. She did have a horrible crack in one of her front hooves and the beginnings of what looked to be White Line Disease. She is also still pretty weak and looks to have a good case of arthritis and was not able to hold her hooves up for very long. My farrier was great and very patient only lifting her feet just enough to work on them and she has a nice foot rest for the hind feet so that she does not have to hold them up at all. She took care of trying to get that crack to stop and told me what to put on that foot for the white line issue. One of these times when she is out there I will have to have the kids take pics of her working with Katie she is the greatest
Here is another pic of her after she rolled to undo all the work that we did getting her clean with her quick bath!
