The Farrier

Magic, again today.
The farrier came today for his six weekly appointment. Magic, Lucy and Tom had new shoes. Welly, who now has an abscess on his foot, had his racing shoes removed and Roman, who is currently unshod, had a wee check-up.
David, the farrier, was with us for around 3 hours. I find it all fascinating. I'm still amazed that it doesn't hurt the horses when the hot shoes are put on and you hear them sizzle and the nails are hammered in!
Our lot are pretty placid and relaxed about it all. Magic looked particularly relaxed and was almost asleep by the time she was done :)
