Today it wasn't too bad, and it being my early day off work I had the chance to get out to the barn while it was still light to do a blanket change and remove snowballs from hooves. Usually by this time, all shoes are pulled and any snowballs that form will knock themselves out by the natural flexing of the hooves, but since I was away last weekend I haven't had a chance to get them pulled so when I took a look, his front hooves were pretty solid. All I can say is, yay for hammers and having dirt ground in near the frog to make it fairly easy going to get all that ice out. Koda needed a few reminders to mind his manners, but he handled it well considering I was chiseling ice out of his front hooves. Once he was satisfactorily de-iced, I decided I wanted to do some ground work and play with mister Koda around the yard. We just went on a mini hike through the property, and that's when he saw it.

I swear, some days Koda is just trying to be a drama king...
Love you, handsome!
