So donkey gets a beautiful set of new shoes on Monday

By Monday night she obviously loves them so much that she has taken one of the front ones off

I have spent this morning going up and down an 8 acre field looking for it - with her trailing behind me the whole way - why can't she just show me where she took it off

Mini rant over

Now waiting for farrier to call me back with a slot!

 

[Heidi1]

Oh no, naughty Donkey.....

Perhaps she has a secret liking to the Farrier.....

 

[Enfys]

Did she show you in the end?

 

[SSM]

No she did not

Will have to trail around again tomorrow morning.

 

[SSM]

Well he is a carrot top

 

[AmyMay]

It will miraculously appear sometime in the spring

 

[PapaFrita]

Ooh, isn't that just typical! PF loved this set just as much but fortunately I found it very quickly (gooooood PF for not hiding it in the mud!!)
First time EVER that she's lost a shoe (or in fact removed it herself)

 

[Heidi1]

Mmmmmmmmmmm think that's what attracts her to him............hehehehe...

 

[Enfys]

Metal detector??? !!

 

[SSM]

Her field is not very muddy at all, it's on a hill so I trailed up and down - too tight to buy a new one!!!!!!!!! This is her party trick - and it is not the farrier to blame - diferent farrier in the summer for one she had taken off and she took it straight off again

If she keeps them on for the first few days they stay on for 6 weeks no problem, I think she takes them off to admire them

Too late now, but might be worth trying over-reach boots after shoeing. Friend TB has to wear over-reach boots on all four feet (looks very silly) for 1st week after shoeing or he takes his shoes off too.

It will be where you least expect to find it - Pidge pulled shoe off on Thursday, got up early Friday to look for it with sister (only 1 1/2 acre field) no sign. Saturday morning even got a fork out to rake through the mud - no sign

Went poo picking last weekend, just over a week after he lost it and found it nail side up

near to the water trough and not in any mud! Was soooooo relieved to find it

They would have manky feet that crumble the minute the shoe falls off and would go lame

Ducks and runs for cover

Not Irish TB - you're thinking about those skinny english ones

 

[pagancluf]

Yes guys the skinny English ones dont like to carry metal on their hooves for more than 3 weeks!! It's too tiring.
But the follow you round the field, fantastic join-up, Monty Roberts would be proud of you!
