Grey and Bay

The mares are still nameless, and they got their feet done today :) I have decided to keep track of their progress via blogging so I have a reference to look back on and I love documenting! O:) When they got their feet done they were separated for the first time. Bay went first, she walked out like a champ and Grey pinned her ears when she left but nothing further. Bay stood like an angel for the farrier and got her feet trimmed. Her feet are a bit of a mess and need some time to get stronger, but she looked fine and walked away sound. When Bay was getting her feet done Grey was screaming a little but not really running or anything.

Grey went second. When we switched them, Bay started to scream, which I must say I did not really expect. Grey stood for the farrier as well, but not as quietly. She is only four so I did not expect her to be as good. She was not vicious or mean, and looks like she just needs to get used to life. Her feet were also a mess, she had one shoe on which we removed to let her feet get stronger too. Her left front is a little bit dishy, and slowly the angle will get pushed back to where it belongs.

Tomorrow Sandy gets back and we will separate them. They are eating a handful of grain right now and have a lot of weight to put on, but so far they seem healthy, and happy girls! The next thing I want to do is start a record book of them, gather their papers, and make a plan for them.

Naming them needs to happen ASAP I don't want bay and grey to become a habit. :o

Tomorrow is going to be a louddd day...
