Finally got that one mare in the county barn to stand for a full trim after 4 sessions of just picking up her feet
It took me almost a month of just working on trust and patience with her before she finally let me finish all four hooves in one go.

A month? Good lord man, that's some serious dedication... I would have lost my mind after the first week of just picking up feet. That's a real win right there, you must feel like you finally cracked the code with her. Takes a special kind of patience to not rush it.

Tell me about it, I almost threw in the towel after three days of just standing there. Felt like the world's most expensive coat rack. That moment when it finally clicks though, makes all the pointless hours feel worth it. Honestly think some horses just need you to prove you're not in a hurry before they let you in.

That's the real work right there. People forget it's not about the trim, it's about the conversation. You just proved you'll listen.
