Ok, ya, that all does make sense. I'm just depressed about my saddles not selling, no interest in leasing my horse etc.. and just generally a "money sucks" attitude going on lately.

But you're right that makes sense. he has never been lame and never pulled a shoe before, best not to change anything.

Now regarding how to sort of wean in this new girl for when my farrier fully retires, my farrier has never ever missed an appointment in 3 years, so I can't really have her take care of things from time to time, any other suggestions?
