 ... and it wasn't Speedy G or Sydney. This time it was me! I spend a small fortune on equine pedicures and I always make time for the farrier no matter what inconveniences it might cause. Anything for my ponies, right?
My own pedicures are dirt cheap (I can get 10 pedis for one farrier visit) and they even include the massage chair and a foot massage! So why do I always seem to wait two months before I go back? The answer is that since I can't get a pedi and go to the barn on the same day something doesn't get done. The choice seems fairly obvious, doesn't it? As I drove home from work on Friday afternoon, I just decided that I was due for an hour of total relaxation that didn't require the removal of horse hair and stink! I am so glad I did. My feet feel great! 11/7/2011 09:33:56 am
:0) They look a lot better now! Let's just say they weren't looking their best this last few weeks! Comments are closed.

About the Writer and RiderI am a lifelong rider.
I began endurance riding in 1996 where I ultimately completed five, one-day 100 mile races, the 200-mile Death Valley Encounter, and numerous other 50, 65, and 75 mile races. I began showing dressage in 2010. Welcome to my dressage journey.
