Visit from the farrier

Had the farrier out today to pull shoes. Should have had it done back closer to Thanksgiving but with the crutches it got postponed. Sinwaan was quite overgrown and I am sure he was glad to have them off. Chad said he wasn't going to trim off as much as usual because the ground was so hard (14 degrees with crunchy snow) and didn't want him to be sore.

After he left I spent some time trying to get a comb through his mane again and put his blanket back on. His tail was all frosty. I also fed him a little grain for a treat and hauled some water as his trough was looking low. He seems to be in good spirits.
