Hi Mags, thanks for asking. No, the Farrier is not now coming until the beginning of next week. He wants to give these new shoes a chance even though he has another set of different new shoes lined up in case they don't work
He told us to 'up' his pain killers for a couple of days. I am really losing faith in Farriers
Even the Farrier Council don't seem to want to know. We really need a Farrier who really knows what he is doing as Bootsy has very bad arthritic problems for his relatively young age and needs very specialised shoeing. Finding a Farrier who can shoe him and is willing to take on such a difficult shoeing prospect is almost impossible
The current Farrier we have was recommended by our equine vet but I really am not impressed at the minute
