Is it bad form to ask a farrier...

[McNeddy]

...to hold my mare's front leg up so I can treat a wound on hind end when he's here? Never had to entertain the idea before but struggling to find someone to help and he's due anyway 🤔

No. Your farrier will do it. My grandad was a farrier and he did a lot more than that for his owners.

Oh thanks, that's good to know. Don't want to overstep as he's fabulous!

Goodness no. Mine wouldn't blink at that. He has helped me with much more.

Mine would be fine with that!

As long as you are not expecting him to trek across a muddy field or the treatment is going to take ages I certainly can not see why he wouldn't do it

He didn't bat an eyelid
I just wondered whether it would affect his insurance cover or something, but obviously he wasn't at all worried. Thanks all

Name change fail. Ho hum

I did wonder 😁, slight name change here too.

I am glad he agreed with no fuss , I hope your horse's leg gets better soon

😁 thank you, yes all good ta

🙂🐴🐎

Most farriers are fab, and very helpful. Glad he is too, and hope your mare's on the mend soon x

Mine gets them in and puts them out afterwards. Farriers are pretty unique.

Wow Wally I'm not sure many do that! Yours is possibly very unique, I'd hold on tight

When I hurt my back in a car accident, my farrier caught my ponies for me and turned them back out and didn't charge me extra! He's a lovely man.
