Trimming horses

With so many horses at Willis Creek Ranch, there is always a hoof that needs to be trimmed in the barn.   Jackson has learned so much and is taking the lead on trimming these days.  It is back-breaking work, but we sure are thankful that it can be done when needed.  Here are a few photos from two days of trimming.

July 15, 2020 - first up was Piper.



Marvin and Jonathan assist by keeping Piper still and calm.


You trim a horses hooves when they grow out too long in order to keep the hoof in good shape and good balance so they can move better.  





















ha!
