I finally found a farrier for my minis,I do hope she sticks around - seems like every time I find one ,they vanish and I can not get them to come back. My minis are easy to do and are no problem lifting their hooves - I clean them every other day. Well I went to a shop and there was a card for a girl that is a trainer/farrier so figured I would give her a call.She came down and did 3 out of 4 and said that she would come back later in the day to do my 2 month old filly so off she went - knew she would be back because she did not get paid yet.
Later she came and was great with my baby - then she spent 1 hour training my 2 year old gelding to ground drive.She is great and even had me driving her - now I have spent time doing what she showed me and was even getting easier to put the head geer on - which I have never done before.
She called 5 days later to see how I was doing and if I needed more training --- needless to say I jumped at it - even though it cost me $25.00 and hour canadian funds it is worth it and she is comming again sunday. I will be getting her I think once a week until it is time to hook a cart up to him. I hope she does not vanish like the rest of the farriers. Wow it sure is fun when I say gee and my mini goes right and ha he goes left - he also walks on and backs up - which when I tried to get him to do it with just a halter and lead rope he would not .
Funny thing is when I said to her zazoo has troubles with back she laughed and when I asked her what was funny she said he just backed up and when she said it he did it again - WOW , horses can amaze you at times.
