What happens when horses go back home, and some scary shoes...

Had an email from Lucie yesterday and thought you'd all want to know how Solomon was getting on :-)

"Hi Nic,

Just thought I'd let you know that I've just got back from a lovely hour's hack up to the woods :)

He was a very good boy and was walking so forward that I didnt manage to get my camera out to take a pic ;)

He walked out on the roads fine and hardly tried to go on the verge at all :D"

That's what I like to hear!

I also went to see a very lucky ex-racehorse today.  He is only a 10 year old but of course his racing career is over and as with many ex-racehorses, his future was uncertain.  He has fallen on his feet and no mistake (!) in a fantastic new home with an owner who has worked wonders with broken TBs in the past
:-)

What did shock me was the state of his shoes - I guessed that they had been on at least 10 weeks but apparently he was shod 4 weeks ago...     :-0

Underneath all that, there is lots to like about his hooves and both his owner and I will be fascinated to see how his feet change over the next few months...
