So this past August I purchased 3 Shetland brood mares who were pretty much range mares. Every day is a new adventure with their handling and with getting them to trust me. Miss nelly ( mccalls kl janelle) was due for a hoof trim. She was too skittish to let me do it but every day I kept catching her and touching her hooves and rewarding her. Finally, today she let me trim het hooves. I prefer to get them to trust me, rather than have to drug or twitch them. So needless to say we are very proud of miss nelly!![20131113_110611.jpg 20131113_110611.jpg](https://cdn.imagearchive.com/miniaturehorsetalk/data/attachments/21/21958-7ba8c48f09621b63a575d0301e54c9be.jpg)
