It has been so wet and moist here lately. Bart decided to take the shoes off of the horses and give them a break.
Well, needless to say, their hooves have been growing like crazy. So much so, that some of them are getting chipped off a little bit.
So Bart decided that today would be a good day to give all of the horses a quick trim.
April is doing so much better when Bart trims. She still has one foot that she doesn't particularly like him working on though.
It didn't take him long to get all 3 horses done. I think he finished all of them in just over an hour.
He is so patient with them. I don't know how he does it. It is back breaking work.
You can't see it in this picture, but sweat was just running off of Bart's face.
The last step was putting some medication on the bottoms of their feet that the Vet recommended to keep out all infection and to help harden their feet. All done for another 8 weeks (fingers crossed).
