In answer to your question about the stool Mona - I am with Jill and Bess with the mechanics stool on rollers. It works wonders for a body clip - I am going to try it again for the feet , but I might also try your position with one knee down and one knee up with the leg/hoof resting on my leg. I will kneel on a piece of carpet - I can get those carpet squares at the pet store for a buck. Gosh it stinks to be getting older - everything hurts LOL. I just have to be really careful because my back went out totally on me last year April and I was stuck in the hospital unable to move at all for six days.Don't ever want a repeat of that.
Connie, to save your knees, you can try a few different things. You said you use carpet pieces, but even softer would be those gardener pads. They are made of soft pliable styrofoam, some are sort of like tubes, with the hollow cores.
Other than that, you can tru volleyball knee pads, or those styrofoam or gel knee pads that carpenters use for roofing etc. Works wonders, and saves the knees!
