Day 48: Farrier Comes Out

This morning I woke up to a car pulling into my driveway and immediately looked at my clock and sighed. I had slept in and my Aunt was here to watch as the horses feet got done. I jumped out of bed and got dressed as quick as I could then went down to greet my guest. She had brought 2 more people I did not expect as well. Kendal was eleven and loved horse and with her was her mom who also liked horses but was not as interested as her daughter. We went almost immediately down to catch horses and I showed them how to tie the halters and lead the horses correctly. I put Kendal in charge of our pony Spud and I mainly looked after Reece but I also had my aunt hold and brush her some. Another family friend, Sandy, showed up right after we caught the horses with her nice and they also got a chance to brush the horses and lead them around. The Farrier was late so my aunt Becky, who would be staying with me for the next 3 days, stayed with me and when the farrier showed up helped me hold the horses and put them away when we were done. Reece did very well and her front feet were handled with no problem at all but when he got to her back feet she did move away some at first then stood still just fine. The work I did with her paid off and Greg was surprised to see how well Reece did when I had only had her for 48 days. She did great and I am very proud of her.
