Our New Farrier!

We had the Farriers here today to shoe three horses...Bess, Moth and Dibbley all had new shoes,











This is David the 'Boss', he's seating the shoe on Bess...




Neil is an apprentice in his second year of training (still has three more years to go, UK rules) and the DS of some our friends and neighboring farmers, Neil got to put back shoes on Dibbley today, he did a great job...'Well Done" Neil!

  2. My dogs would have been in there. They used to have a 'thing' about the trimmings from the hooves. Yuck.
    I think I might want your life, dogs, country, horses, swap the sheep for cows and I'd be in heaven.
