First Trimming

We had his feet trimmed last night. The farrier said he didn't think they had ever been trimmed. He did so good. I was so proud of him. He fought a little bit but eventually just dropped his head and stood there, like I said, he's very tolerant and easy.

Apparently he got himself tangled up in wire at one point. It cut into his coronet band pretty bad and his foot grows a little funny in that spot. He has scars on his left front and back left pasterns / coronet band. The farrier said it will always grow a little funny but should not cause any problems. Other than that his feet looked good, no thrush, etc.
