The Joys of Weather

Ick. Ick ick ick ick ick. That's what I have to say about today's shoeing.

It has rained here in Arkansas for three days straight, and we had to be out in it to trim five horses this afternoon. We also helped a vet move from her old clinic to a new one, but the new one had flooded due to a debris blocked creek. All in all, it was a miserably wet day.

Oh well, horseshoeing goes on in all kinds of weather. The only time I truly hate doing it is when it gets too cold, which I rate as 15 degrees F if I have to do it outside, lower if I have somewhere out of the wind. After all, horses are Ice Age critters, right?

Now, I've got to put all my clothing in the dryer because I was soaked to the skin.
