Soooo sore today. OMG .
Yesterday, hubs and I helped an older friend get her horses feet trimmed and it was no easy task. She's got 6 horses, from 18 years to almost 30, which is really old and I've not been around a house so old, but the eldest doesn't really act or look that old, until you pick up his feet. He had no balance. The owner doesn't do much with them anymore, since she's in her 70's, but they are friendly, just not handled often. And they are Arabians. So basically a heard of old, semi wild, spunky minded horses. The ferrier had a huge job ahead of him, I'd say we got about 80% finished. Each horse was not pleased about lifting legs, whether it was mobility issues, arthritis, injury or just not into it, so it was a rodeo for about 4 hours. My arms are so heavy I can barely lift them. A couple horses only got the fronts done, too dangerous for the ferrier. But overall no one was hurt, and old horses feel a bit better. And old friend very happy she knows a few youngins that can actually handle her horses. (35 and 39 but don't feel like youngins right now though)
