Laminitis

Yesterday I had to attend to five Welsh mountain ponies with Laminitis. We have had about 8 days of sunshine after a very long wet spell and the grass is growing like crazy. The owner said they had only been moved onto fresh pasture about two days ago and bingo they are all in a bad way so please keep an eye on your horses and ponies

Newspaper Fame!

This is me shoeing Marie TeHuia's thoroughbred (Bart) outside the Aria Church in Piopio. This photo was featured in the Waitomo News last Tuesday. Even before I'd seen the paper in the morning I'd received three phone calls from potential clients!

My first blog post.

This is my first blog post. I am just posting to see what happens. My son Timothy is helping me set up a blog/journal so that I can keep people up to date on my horseshoeing activities!
