Silly pony or cunning pony?

I can't decide.... Wednesday was farrier at the yard day, Red is due shoes for another 2 weeks but does sometimes throw a front.

 

I thought he'd be fine to wait as usual but nooooo the monkey came in AFTER the farrier had been, missing a front shoe, typical *rolleyes*  He's either got inside info and is cheeky/cunning or it's because he's a silly pony playing out with his pals all day.

He's also managed to get a kick to the hock whilst playing, daft boy :) At least I know he's happy as he pretty much plays with his pals Louie, Banjo and Merlin all day.  Such a change from the horse that hated being turned out ;)

New shoes next week, and hopefully 2 fitting saddles as I bought a dressage saddle off ebay that should arrive soon and I am hoping his GP will fit again eventually.....  Not much excitement on the riding front due to the above^  but he's very well groomed!
