i didn't expect to give Molly the night off, given that she's just had a fortnight, but partner was going out on someone's leaving do, so we had to eat early then i had to take her to the station and the end result was it was WAAAY late when i got to the yard......
farrier due in the morning (i do HOPE he got my letter telling him I'd moved Molly and where to!!!) and we may go up see Queenie afterwards, he wants to see her for his academic study of feet, and it's not that often he gets a mother & daughter with the same issues!

What foot issues do they have Claire? Interesting genetic study...
C
well, molly has one foot slightly larger than t'other at the front, farrier says because of the asymmetrical shoulder. Queenie also has asymmetrical shoulder (same difference, same side); had spurs on both front naviculars and there's always the possibility that molly may end up the same that way (less likely, one would have thought). and yes, farrier thinks the genetic study aspect is interesting. but he only has another month! he did shoe queenie before i retired her, but then of course didn't realise the similarities until after they'd swopped places!
