Trim time: Ruffian

Well I am pleased to say that Ruffian did VERY well today. It took me about 2 hours [give or take a minutes ;)]. I had to stop and let Ruffy move his feet once. He was getting a little..... playful. After that though he was all set to trim the last three feet :) I ran into a new situation today....ice. It is really hard to rasp through. It was so cold outside too that if I hadn't used my rasp in a while it would get stickly.... good thing I was wearing gloves ; )

Well I have another week off until I have to trim Knightly.

Trim Time: Prince

December 23 2009

I trimmed Prince today [December 23rd]. It took me 2 1/2 hours this time. I was really proud of Prince. Last time it took me 4 hours!!! So that was a huge imporvement on both of our parts!!!!! Prince did really well 80% of the time. I can't wait to see how he keeps improving over the next months!!

Next week I trim Ruffian. Hopefully the weather will cooperate

Well better go!

Twosox trim

Today I trimmed Twosox. Wow 4 weeks has gone fast!! He did pretty well. He stood the best for his back feet but all in all it only took me 2 hours so that isn't bad.

I didn't have to trim a lot of because it was a 4 week trim. It will be interesting to see how he progresses on being trimmed every 4 weeks. Should be interesting!! His back feet were good foot wise. I didn't have to take much heel down, his bars were a little long but not to bad, and he only had a little flare on each foot. On the front feet the bars were longer than the back feet but now overly long, heels weren't to high, I had to take a little off but nothing major, of course he still has wall separation but that is to be expected for a little while longer. His quarter flares weren't nearly as bad as last time so that was good.

It just started snowing as I was finishing up so that was perfect timing!! So all in all it was a good trim!!
