The girls had their hooves done…..

They have them done regularly…..

Addy is a good girl…..but she probably weighs around two thousand pounds…..

…..she acts dainty…..and petite…..

…..but she’s not…..

She’s exceptionally willing and compliant…..

…..but I’m sure each hoof weighs about fifty pounds…..

Our blacksmith manages…..

He’s much stronger than he looks…..

Poor…..skinny…..young…..amenable…..Montana…..

…..we haven’t broken him…..yet…..

…..but there’s still time…..

I even forgot to give Claire her happy-gel (Dormosedan) ahead of time…..

*****Dormosedan*****

…..(chalk that one up to geriatric/mind/mush)…..

But all things considered…..

…..Claire behaved fairly well for Montana…..(for not being drugged)…..

Like I’ve said before…..we aren’t looking for pretty hooves…..

…..where Claire is concerned…..

We are just plugging away little by little and hoping to make some headway…..

…..and that’s a win in my book…..

Anja was a chunky…..patient…..calm…..pony…..

…..and she was quite a reprieve after Montana had to do battle with multiple fifty-pound behemoth hooves…..

I think Montana’s only complaint with Anja was that (after Claire and Addy) it seemed like he had to get down on his hands and his knees to do Anja’s tiny hooves…..

Anja’s hoof print can easily fit into the palm of Montana’s hand.

But with Claire and Addy…..the width of the bottom of each of their hooves is almost wider than the span from Montana’s pinky finger to his thumb…..

See…..

Mani Pedi’s come in all shapes and sizes…..
