Pilgrim goes on his holidays

In all the time we had had Pilgrim we had not been able to get him to pick his feet up. We could brush him, put blankets on him, bath him, anything at all except pick his feet. This is quite worrying as it is important to keep a check on their feet, even when they are as big as dinner plates. We were having much more success in picking Oscar’s feet even though he did nearly fall over one time because he leant on the foot that was off the ground. Intelligent then!
We decided then that we would have to get someone bigger, stronger and more expert to teach Pilgrim how to behave more like a horse and less like a stubborn teenager. We looked around at different places to send him and eventually settled on a man who was an expert in heavy horses. (We had by this time joined the Heavy Horse Society and met some kind and helpful heavy horse enthusiasts). So about a month ago Pilgrim went on his holidays up to the Lake District to learn how to behave.
