I was very nervous as Joy was being shod by a new farrier today.
I really liked my old one although I felt he wasn't very flexible and thought that all horses should be shod and in natural balance shoes.
This new one was brill.
Firstly he actually arrived and on time
Secondly he had a flexible attitude and wanted to find out what would suit Joy and I. He didn't use natural balance shoes and couldn't see why she needed them. I reserve judgement on that until after I have had her under saddle.
Thirdly he is pro-barefoot wherever posible and bought the topic up himself.
Forthly he was £13 cheaper
I hope that Joy's way of going reflects my faith in my new farrier, only time will tell
