New customer

This little cutie was born two days ago. I think he is adorable!I spent more time rescheduling customers the past two weeks than working. There have been storms every morning. I took one week for light duty only because of the surgery on my foot. It was just getting easy to walk again when I got bucked off my bicycle at Shawnee Lake. Not on the mountain bike trail. Oh no. That would be too easy. I was on the concrete trail where no one should fall. So, that means this week had to be overbooked. One of my customers is on vacation this week. She rode with me two days and was a great help. Except at one place where she forgot we didn't shoe. We only trimmed. She picked up the horse owners bucket of brushes thinking it was my bucket of nails and tools. We both watched her load it in the trunk of my car along with my shoeing box, waiting to see how long it would take her to realize she had the wrong bucket. She didn't figure it out until she saw us laughing!

I have three new stops this week with six new horses. One horse was a set of four shoes. He stood nice and quiet. I found out he and my horse have the same daddy. That explains why he is so quiet. I had two from last night that I walked away from. They were trims. One was new to the woman and he already had her scared of him. She can't catch him and has arranged for a cowboy to come in to rope the horse so they can get it on a trailer and gone. The other horse was a brat. She kept rearing when I would pick up a foot, then she would step into me and tried to push me down. I have three new ones tonight. The rest of the week should go smoothly with known good quiet horses.
