Not mean but will basically lay down on me if I can keep hold of her foot that she tries to pull out of my hands. The other is a younger horse who has been a problem just touching her legs since I got her. I'm basically going to have to get a vet out at the same time to tranq them or preferrably knock them flat out. I have been having a hard time finding a good farrier in my area (central WI not too far from Oshkosh) have gone through many that I will never go back to and I'm afraid it's been some time since my girls feet have been done and they're looking quite bad. I was recommended to a vet that will knock them out and do them but sadly he just had shoulder surgery and can't for some time. If anyone knows someone willing to work on a tranquilized horse please let me know! I'm desperate. |
