I've decided i've had enough of the old blog, so, i updated it. as you can probably see.
This header and the previous one, is thanks to the author and creator of retrobabooshka ( http://retrobabooshka.blogspot.co.nz/ ) and my best friend Jazz. I've decided to change the header, to something i've created, but it can stay there for now until i've figured out how to make a new one.
I've been sick for ages, like two months now. to be quite honest i'm sick of been sick and i'm sick of the word! so i haven't done much with prince. He has basically retired for the winter.. lucky boy!
However i did manage to go out and trim Prince's front feet. i had noticed in the paddock that one of his front feet was really long in the toe and i got worried so i led him to the tie up area.i got out the hoof pick and picked his feet out and noticed he had thrush again, but just grabbed the hoof knife and trimmed most of it off. Along with that i took off alot of sole and then got the clippers and hacked of the hoof wall. Then i finished off with a file over, and some fat and oil mixture smeared on his outside hoof, with honey on the inside to prevent more thrush growing. After doing the other hoof the some i was so tired i was trembling all over for about half an hour afterwards.
i did get photo's but i stupidly left them at home. i'll try to remember them next time. but i supposed you know how it goes. :-)
