Wow. I haven't written through all of May and here it is June 1st!!! I have written to various yahoo lists where I hang out...and maybe I will stick those posts in as entries here at some point.
The focus of my horse life lately has been my horses' feet. Harley and Doc's shoes were pulled in January and Doc fell apart by mid February. We have had challenges getting reliable trimmers who can make it this far to the middle of no where. I prefer someone who is certified with AANHCP, but the natural trimmer who wasn't certified did impress me a lot. She just can't make it up here without a truckload of financial incentive...not that I blame her.
Most recently, a field instructor from AANHCP agreed he would come every 6 weeks and teach me to do the horses myself. I have already done a bit of a trim on Harley...and I may attempt the same with Breezy--the two with easy to understand feet (well, relative to the other two).
Doc has been a mess. I will post to the blog what I wrote to a natural trimming list last night.
