Charlie is a BIG goat (far left in this picture). Very
big and incredibly strong.
He has a lovely nature but has a particular dislike of
having his hooves trimmed. And you can see in this picture Charlie, has
no horns. Oh dear, nothing to hold onto when attempting a pedicure.
The first time we ever attempted this Mike ended up
with bruised ribs. We’ve always since got the farrier, a man mountain, to
trim Charlie when he’s in to do the horses.
But the farriers not due for a while, Charlie was
limping so it was down to us this morning. Needless to say, Denise ended
up on the floor somehow trapped underneath Charlie! We did manage to trim
all 4 hooves, Charlie wandered off none the worse and we staggered off,
battered and bruised, but pleased the job was done.
Bless him.
