New Shoes equals a New Horse

Mayfly had new shoes done, with a new slightly different shape to them. Thanks to this she is now better than ever :D

The shoes are very nice, handmade beautifully I must say!

They help Mayfly with how she places her hind legs so not to cause twisting or anything on her hocks, and well they seem to be doing wonders.
Fly is so happy and really going for it at the moment. Takes a lot of effort to hold her back when we trot bless her - she is off wanting to canter already!! She'll have to wait for that though.
It is very nice to be able to go on proper hacks and not be gone for absolutely years. lol.

Lovely Fly went out without a rug on for the first time today, and what did she go and do?!?
Find the muddiest spot in the field and roll of course. "I'm gonna roll here!"
:@ took me ages to brush all the thick mud that she was coated in, and I didn't even manage to get all of it off...ahh horses huh?
