Whoa

Hey fellow bloggies, sorry I didn't post anything yesterday. I'm sure Mom and Tom were anxiously sitting by the computer with their coffee hoping for an update - sorry guys. I've been extremely tired lately and I've been trying to catch up on my sleep...it's not working.

We were with a local farrier all day today for our Hoof Care class. All I can say is "wow" there's lots to know about what supports a 1200 pound horse. We observed some severed limbs of our equine friends that have passed on, many with problems in their feet. The farrier constructed a homemade shoe from a bar of steel and demonstrated how to fit it to a hoof. Next we dissected two different limbs so we could get a better look at the tendons, ligaments and bones. It was very cool.

Heidi got some great shots that I will upload tomorrow. Viewer discretion is advised.
