We had an appointment with our farrier for 9:30 this morning. So we go out, round up the wee ones, pick out their feet so they're nice and clean and wait.
Around 10 AM we call him, he says he's up in a town about an hour away, but he says he can be here in 20 minutes (buh?). He has an assistant with him so they horses shouldn't take any time at all. So, we continue to wait.
He calls back about ten minutes later and says he's sorry, but he just plain forgot about our appointment and he'll have to reschedule. I have an appointment at 1 PM for an oil change, so it needed to be in the morning. He says he'll be here at 11:30.
About 11:55 his assistant rolls in, no farrier. Assistant gets to work and tells us the farrier has BEEN HOME this whole time-he lives no more than ten minutes away from us. He's not sick or anything, and the assistant has no idea why he didn't come out. Anyhow, horses are done about 12:30, and by the time I get them put up and get the horse smell off of me, I'm also late for my oil change.
Augh. Yes, I needed to vent! Someone remind me how hard it is to learn to trim your own?
For your troubles, here's a new pic of Tailer, looking generally unimpressed with the Santaman. For the record, Santa seemed pretty unimpressed with him, too!
