Ricky was and still is in need of a hairdo. He had his feet clipped today and they had to take a lot off due to a big horse farrier not doing it right. He looks a lot better now and should be fine. My other new stallion, I am not so sure. My mini farrier said the farrier that did these obviously did not know what to do on minis. She said that it would take several trims on Duke. My poor little man. He may need stifle surgery because his feet were messed up some and now they lock. It is def not a breeding issue with him. He was moving so much better after his trim. She at first recommended the surgery, but after seeing how much better he was doing said let's see how he does after a couple of trims. She is awesome. Anyway, she also said exercise would be great for him. Is this true? Just learning.
Anyway I tied Ricky up this evening and tried my best at detangling the mess of mane and tail he has. He has a lot. It looks better but needs work. They are fairly new here so I started on his tail but didn't go to far into getting it detangled because he is just getting used to me. He is so awesome though. He is wonderful. Should I get a mane tamer to help with this mess of hair or what would you suggest doing. Here are some pictures from this evening after the detangling process. Thanks.
Here he is almost a month ago now.
