New Shoes

Me and Humphries

Humphries was shod today. It was a while since his last set of shoes (probably March) and his hooves were quite overgrown. Michele said he was hesitant to lift his feet for the farrier, so that is something more to add on our list of possible rough treatment -

1. Rough farrier

2. Hardly exercised

3. Treated badly in the stable

4. Left for ages on his own in the horse box

Michele also lunged him, which was wonderful of her. He went ok. Three days in a row being lunged is probably more work than he has done in months! She also lunged J.B and rode Cori. Cori was challenging but went very well. He is in full stallion mode at the moment and showing off his flashy paces as a result.

The newcomer - Toffee

I couldn't go over to see Humphries today because I was helping Madeline collect her new Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, Toffee. The funny thing is, her breeder lives just beside the place we collected Humphries from! When I told Michele about it, she said I could have picked up Humphries' saddle while I was there! I wish I had thought of it when I was there.
