Tucker finally received his mani/pedi on Tuesday. One of the ways we lured him down to the Redmond area was by way of promising not only new friends, but new shoes. Who knew this guy would prance and strut after receiving the aforementioned spa treatment. The farrier commented that T's feet were excellent, but he would benefit from front shoeing. So here they are:
I had the chance to take the fella out for his first spin with a rider and the new shoes. He was outstanding in the arena, on the trails and didn't even hesitate to pick up the trot through some gravel. He's given me the 4-shoes up!
We had some paramount firsts:
- Trained in the arena with another horse and finally were able to make a pass without slowing down, bending or stopping!
- Shanna climbed into the saddle while out on the trails and T didn't run away and she didn't fall off!
It's the little things that make your day :)
YAY...I'm so glad you ladies had a good day!
ReplyDeleteso i've been attempting to talk trash since this got posted and I haven't been able to. so i'm sitting here, started a blog (horsetrashtalking.blogspot.com so this is a test. I will post more flack later. : )
ReplyDeletemy first question: if I get pregnant, will you take my horses too?
ReplyDeletemy second question: what kind of saddle did you get?
my third question: why the front shoes?
finally, when the heck are you going to come riding with me? going to the north cascades tomorrow for a 25+ miler.
missing you and mother tucker! it sounds like he and Z need to spend some more time together. we've been desensitizing to harley motorcycles, tractors, and semis on chuckanut highway. good times by all. my big accomplishment: we haven't been in an arena in two months, and we actually went straight down two sides. I'm thinking about you and your zig/zag pony. : ) xo
Laura-If you get pregnant we'll all be famous as the friends of the amazingly pregnant woman!
