As you may or may not know, I'm an apprentice thoroughbred racehorse trainer. My Yaya and Grandaddy, (Mom's parents) both do the same on their farm in Kentucky, Wild Aire. I've been learning how to train since before I could even hold my head up AND I even have my own farm truck that Yaya lets me drive. That makes Mom nervous, and she calls Yaya 'Britney Spears' 'cause she says that's some other lady that drives around with her babies in her lap. Anyways I do lotsa chores like making sure the water is OK for splashing before the horses go to drink. I also oversee the farrier. He does a pretty good job, but I make sure to very closely inspect his method 'cause I know personally that everyone needs special shoes to fit their special feet.

Good job maxi. You're going to be the best racehorse trainer! You are very right, you keep a good eye to make sure the shoes fit good for those horses!
ReplyDeleteLoved having my little assistant with me again - all the grooms were so happy to see you - I think you & Opera Ghost have a connection so I will most definitely let you know when he is ready to run. So glad you were able to see Jason, the farrier savant, as you would sit in your stroller last summer for hours and watch every move he made - every nail, every horseshoe, and you even had a blown glass horseshoe, "Mr. Horseshoe", hanging over your changing table -
ReplyDeletelooking forward to another visit - Inky, Scout and Churchill miss you - so do I
love you bunches precious baby - YaYa
