Yes, RNB, my last dollar store purchase!

Well, there are 2 exceptions:
1) I get rid of one of the 4 existing horses I have
2) #1 is met and the horse is as nice as Mr. Spencer!!!

JD said she'd hang me out to dry if I tried to come home with another one. :teehee: If I'm not careful, she'll tell the Mr. all my dark, deep secrets! :jaw:

YEP!!!! I sure will!!!!!!!! :lol: :lol: :lol: Oh....and I'll start calling you by another name if you keep collecting!!!! :lol: :innocent: :point:

BTW....be sure to let me know what your farrier says when he sees her today!!!! I am MOST curious to see if what I think might be the problem is actually the problem (or part of the problem)!!!!!!!! :luck: :luck: that you and your farrier can get this girl back to normal!!!!!!!

Quick update.. post pics later tonight.

Farrier stood back.... leaned his head this way, that way, leaned shoulders back.... then looked at me and said "I'm not sure what he was trying to do, but he sure did a good job of making a mess." When he picked up the RF shoe he said, "Wwwhhhhaaaatttttt?" and shook his head in disbelief. He was rather upset, but there was another person he did not know watching, so all I got was the eye contact look of what was going through his head!!

He said the hind feet had not seen a rasp in quite some time, go figure! (sounds like Jiffy Lube of farriers, huh?!")

He thinks it will take 3-4 shoe jobs to get her fixed, but she looks 100% better already. She's still off, but he thinks a good part of the problem is that RF heel that is caved in (thanks to someone :soapbox: ) and it is probably pressing on her navicular bursa and causing pain. Also, on every foot he took more foot off of one side than the other.... Poor mare. She is soooo sweet, she just stood there like a statue. When I let her go she took off and squealed... I think that was her way of saying she felt much better already! :cheer:

Oh and I can't forget... he asked me where I got the horse. I told him she was my last purchase from the dollar store. He said, "Sheeesssshh, I don't know how you find all these horses for a dollar." I told him I don't go looking for them, they find me! :teehee:

Glad to hear she liked her trimming :) A run and a squeal sounds like she agreed with what your farrier did :)

I've never seen feet like that on purpose :unsure:

YIKES!! I'll bet you have a whole new horse when all is said and done.

Out of the many different horses I've owned, I've only paid for 1 and that was Luna's Dam. They do have a way of finding you, don't they!? They've all been decent horss (some really nice) with varrying degrees of management/health issues that didn't bother me a bit.
