Farmer Mary’s donkeys, MABEL and CLAIRE, had a visit from their farrier today. A farrier is a specialist in equine hoof care, including the trimming and balancing of horses’ hooves and the placing of shoes on their hooves, if necessary. A farrier combines some blacksmith’s skills (fabricating, adapting, and adjusting metal shoes) with some veterinarian’s skills (knowledge of the anatomy and physiology of the lower limb) to care for horses’ feet.
Farmer Mary recommends Farrier Katie Ackerman (DreamBigWorks.com)
Her phone number is (919) 818-8422
Yoga students and teachers gathered in the back pasture this morning for a great yoga session.
Farmer Mary is hoping to host more yoga and some drumming events in the future. Let her know if you have ideas!
Farmer Mary’s friend, Kira Atwell Grantz, owns Blessed Reflections Photography in Wake Forest. Here are a few of her recent Easter shots using bunnies from Winterpast Farm. Contact her to schedule a photo session for your family soon!
