A Reprieve From Today’s Work…

It was farrier day today – Red got nice shiny new shoes, and Huey was supposed to be getting a trim… I say supposed to, because that trim turned into the removal of a very large portion of the front wall of Huey’s hoof!! (Detailed pics can be found at Huey’s blog) …

So I spent a large portion of the day racing around town to collect the ‘ingredients’ I needed to help Huey on his road to recovery. (Biotin supplement, crepe bandages, honey, bluestone, iodine, and I bought some more feed for both boys) … Expensive day to say the least.

Not that Red was complaining – he got out of doing work, and got to do his favourite thing - eat. And eat he did - for there was a mountain of hay to chew through today, as I also want Huey to have access to alot of bulk roughage right now ... Lucky boys.
