Jet had his first visit with the farrier today. He didn't really need his feet trimmed yet but I wanted him to have a few practice rounds before we ask him to do it for real.
Our farrier came out to trim our other horses and spent some time with Jet as well. He let Jet smell him and look at him. Then he pet him and rubbed him all over. I was very please with how comfortable and steady Jet stayed during the whole process. Mike, our farrier, was then able to pick all four feet and hold them for different lengths of time. Mike was also VERY pleased with how well Jet did and how well G has done working with him. One BIG moment was when Mike was able to get Jet to rest a foot while he was petting it.
Also received a phone call earlier this week seeking more information about the up coming competition. Our local newspaper may be sending a reporter to the competition to do a follow up story including the competition. That is SO wonderful. G will show up with quite the enterage. There will be G's family (+5), a good friend (+1), local newspaper (+2), CREA G's supporter/sponsorer (+2) = 10 people going to watch one little girl and her baby Jet.
Loved meeting Jet last night at 4-H. What a cutie he is! Very sweet disposition and big, lovely eyes. You're doing a great job with him. :)
