Last week LeAnn P took a trip to DS Farrier Supply and picked all of us up Circular Knives. I used Julia's awhile back and it was wonderful...so much easier for a woman to use!! It was $36 and worth every dime. My other knives just don't compare.
I went to the barn this morning and paid my board for the boys. Chatted with LeAnn and Linda and then went to get Biscuit. I pulled him up to the wash rack and got my tools out. I got Biscuit a hay net of alfalfa. The last time I did his feet he was a horse's ass about it. LOL He kept pulling his feet away from me and refusing to pick them up.

| Biscuit's front left hoof before I started. It was chipped in the front. |
Front right bars are long and there is some thrush. I pared down the bars and used the circular knife on the frongs and then nipped the heels to the quarters but not the front. I then rasped the underside and the topside.
