Blacksmith just been to trim ponies feet

Why does it have to rain just at the point you need to be outside?
Blacksmith arrived at the same time as the rain.
Anyway all the ponies have had their feet trimmed which will do them for another 4 months or so.
If you don't keep on top of it, their hooves grow unevenly which can cause strain on various parts of the leg/foot causing lameness.
At least they don't have shoes on (as they're not ridden much on the road)-then they'd have to be shod approx every 8 weeks plus shoeing is over 3x the cost of a trim.
It all gets rather expensive!
