I am busy doing feet at the minute. Two or three ponies a day, depending on how my back stands up to the bending and rasping. The Painpod is a god-send. It really is and I wack it up to full volume and can keep on top of the hooves at the moment.
(Not helping for a photo – thank you, Storm)

(Still not helping – aww, good boys, Albie and Newt)

And now, we’re three good little boys!

After rasping the hooves, I take what’s left of my farrier bag and use it to keep my bottom dry while I sit down in the field for a while. I wait to see who wants to chat.

It is always a bit of a guessing game as to who comes up to talk.

Every day is different and I don’t make anyone if they don’t want. That would be rude. Newt took his time but ended in my face!


Albie, of course, wanted me to himself.

To be loved by a Minion is a truly wondrous gift.

Well, that sounds idyllic to me: sitting in a field waiting for a pony to come by for a chat… 🙂
