Possible new farrier for the future

P1050524.JPGToday the record was broken for the youngest person to take a shoe off on my books. Max Newton aged 8 astounded me today when he confidently took a shoe off his pony Micky with no help from me at all. I can really see a farrier in the making here he didn't seem to struggle at all and didn't once say he couldn't do it. Fantastic determination. A big well done Max you were a star.

With a smile like that Max you will go far !
Well done on your achievement. I have tried taking a shoe off and it is certainly not easy.
At double your age you could start farrier training.

Thanks for your comments, it was my birthday the day this photo was taken and it could not have been a better present for me, my father was an ornamental blacksmith, so maybe it's in the family!

I am a very very proud mummy!

Thanks Becky, we always look forward to your visits.
