Ember's Manicure


Clipping Ember’s hoofs is not an easy task.

 

That is not my experience, but Glenn’s as he was always the one delegated for this necessary, periodic job.

 

Did you catch the word WAS? 

 

Now, Becky’s friend has willingly (we did not have to beg too much) taken over the backbreaking, painstaking chore.  Just imagine…lifting a horse’s leg to clip a thick, solid hoof using every bit of muscle manageable all the while having 1000 pounds or so lean against you for the effort.  Then, repeat the exercise three more times.

 



Glenn is ecstatic since he no longer has to abuse his old bones.  Ember is ecstatic since she gets attended to on a more regular basis.

 

And, Colby… not sharing his comments.
