Pedicure Day!

The farrier came today to trim and shoe all the horses. It's a bit of a marathon with eleven horses to do, but we got through it all in good time. Luckily, all the crashing and sawing and stuff that was going on next door the other day seems to be done, so we didn't have that to deal with. Everyone was good, and didn't give Nick a hard time, even Teddy and Buddy. Nick is very impressed with our youngsters, because they behave quite well when they're being trimmed. There are people who turn their young horses out in the field and don't handle them hardly at all, and then expect the farrier or the veterinarian to take this green horse and work with them.....but that's not our way. We handle the horses every day from the time they are born, and it makes life for everyone so much easier.
Even my badboy Midnight behaved himself today. Yay.

I was supposed to go get my eyes checked today, but had to cancel the appointment because Nick had to come today instead of Tuesday as we'd planned. I really do need to get that done, because I am having trouble focusing with the pair of glasses I have now. Mind you, I've had these glasses since 2001...could be that my eyes have changed as I've gotten older? You think? I find I'm doing the "flip glasses up, look at page, replace glasses, put glasses on head, forget where they are.." routine a lot these days. Plus, the frames have been bent so many times by now, if one more horse smacks them with his head, they're broken for sure.
I just have to find time to get across the street to the eyeglass store. It's not like it's all the way across town or anything.

Speaking of eyes, my kitty Annie's sore eye is better. The swelling is almost gone and it looks almost normal. She's a much happier kitty.

That's my exciting day done.

Oh, I had chocolate cake for my dessert. Most exciting part of the day, LOL.
