Can't afford any more new tools now, :D ha ?

What does it cost these days to get a vet to your paddock?

The horse is named Taj. My wife found him.

We had the vet out the other day and it cost $75 to get him out to the paddock and a further $120 in drugs and stuff.

Not a bad nag though. Fricken big. 17.2

What is he/she, looks like a warmblood or TB.
Shop around for vets and look online for a lot of remedies.
Our vet bills are minimal (OK, the vet sponsors us in events etc as does the farrier) and you can do a lot yourself.
I'm sure Sarah will advise you on how to save money.
She's away for a week at the moment buying horses around the State for a few trainers and loving it.

if it turns out to be a nag you can turn him into glue for your next project(s) (x1000)

Taj is a bloke TB.

Taj was a slow race horse. That's why we've got him.

I just get all my drugs from the Vet. Cheaper than going through the mob.

I'd be getting the vet onto methadone before you have him out again... :rolleyes:

I'm a little confused. Where's this 'horse' everyone keeps talking about? All I see is a rather long nosed woodie covered with sawdust (obviously been sanding something)

How long will the horse last when you start feeding it to the dogs:D :D

Depends on how hungry they are.

BTW, I am now a ferrier. Just removed my first shoe. It was a bit lose. I rang a couple of ferriers but none returned my call. :(

When you put a new one on, will you use the nailgun or drive some tech screws with your cordless?
You can trim the edge to fit neatly with a trimmer and a straight bit.

.... do it the modern way and use West system epoxy.
Then you only have to convince the nag to stand dead still overnight:rolleyes:

School starts at the end of the month, where do you get school shoes for a horse.....or does it just wear joggers or should it be trotters.

Termite is one of the best.

Thanks Iain. I don't think I'll show these to Ms. Grunt. I don't need to give her more ideas on how to spend money.

Now that I'm a farrier, I was wondering who was fairyer? Al or Zed?

Are they made by NIKE, I mean to say you couldn't expect a TB to wear generic shoes.

Did you all notice that the rubber shoes are appropriate for "Horse Mounted Calvary".

Not to be a spelling NAZI, but the idea of Calvary on a horse is fascinating. Mel Gibson missed that bit in his movie.

:D :D :D :D :D
Missed that, conjuring up a picture though, I always thought it was more Donkey and Ass country.
Imagine what Monty Python and Life of Brian could do with that:D :D :D
