Now, I was all set to hop on Charlie tomorrow but his freaking shoes are loose! What the heck?!?! The farrier isn't supposed to come until next Tuesday. I think I mentioned this but just in case I didn't - he comes up from Aiken so I have to hope, pray, make offerings to whatever gods that Charlie doesn't pull a shoe mid-shoeing. Not an ideal situation but the guy is very good although we may be having a conversation about putting the nails a little higher in hopes that Charlie's shoes stay tighter, longer.
Now I leave you with some photos...
I forgot to include this in my last post - Charlie playing racehorse before loading up for our lesson with Janna.
This was from this morning - Charlie's looking a little soggy while eating breakfast.
Oh, I almost forgot! So now I'm going to have to buy 10 rolls of gorilla tape to try and keep his shoes on until next Tues. And then on Wed, I leave to spend 3 days in Denver. I think Charlie will be up to almost 5 weeks vacation. I'm going to be lucky if he doesn't go native on me...sigh...
I love seeing horses enjoying their space - great photos :)
ReplyDeleteThanks! He loves living here.
DeleteHe's enjoying a summer vacation :)
ReplyDeleteI know but what am I going to do when it gets really hot? Oh well, it is what it is. ;)
DeleteI'm jealous of your pasture... gorgeous. I'm sure Charlie will come back ok. It's your riding muscles I'd be worried about. ;-)
