@piney_bend_cattle: The farrier visit was a mixture of nerves, inebriation, and naughtiness. Francy’s founder issues are holding steady— the best we can hope for! She got her usual “happy shot” to settle her nerves. Eeyore showed his… you know, and kicked— which was a first in all the times the farrier has worked with him. He got a “love smack,” and it seemed to settle him. Wynnie was nervous but incredibly brave. My heart swelled when she walked over to me to accept a hug. I have missed my healing hugs from JuJu. I’m grateful Wynnie accepts my love so easily. My homework is to use my file to give Wynnie’s hooves a few passes to help her grow accustomed to it. Donkey School continues to be in session! The farrier’s precious father came along. That gentleman doesn’t filter his opinions! He is refreshing and always has funny observations and advice based on his lifetime of experience with equines. He had a definite opinion on whether Wynnie is with foal. Come back soon to learn what their opinion is as to whether we’ll have a bonkey! A bonkey is a baby donkey. In Wynnie’s case, it will be a binney— baby hinny as she was with horses before she came home to me. If you read all that, thank you!
