Day 2: Intro to natural hoof care :)

I'm very happy to announce Colin Chilson (a natural hoof care practitioner) came and saw to both my horses. He does such amazing work and is so incredibly good with horses and people alike. He pointed out what issues needed correction as he worked and is extremely proficient in natural trims. This was my first time seeing Iklean done and he wasn't cooperative initially. Colin asked for the right answer to be the easy one by making him move his feet when he wouldn't just stand and willingly allow his feet being handled. With Colin's confident handling while being firm and fair... it didn't take long at all for Ike to settle. I'm beyond happy to have such a great horse-person working on my horses' hooves. Ike is charging the minis at feeding times. He and Ross still haven't decided who's boss. Although, Ross is a really confident little guy. He seems as though he's reluctantly giving leadership to Ike when he stays off the hay. Ike keeps pushing him back when he gets too close. (Which is anywhere within 15 feet of the hay he's eating) Colin complimented the name's origin. :) I think I'll keep it. :) So nice to work with great horse people!
