He's had his hooves trimmed and while he's touchy about his hind legs he wasn't mean about having a perfect stranger (the farrier) handle them. He just pulled or tucked them away out of reach. [chuckle]
Were you able to try out EDE before buying her? I bought Babe through a friend of a friend, having seen only the photos she took of him. It was helpful with the sale to have that element of trust between friends, but it was still nerve wracking. (racking?) In my exchanges with the seller I felt she was very honest and not hiding anything from me which helped ease the sale. She was frank about his past colic, etc.
I had a vet exam done up in Oregon and that helped as well. I was confident the vet wouldn't risk his professional reputation on the sale of one horse. In fact, I think he was a bit hard on the seller which I actually appreciate now that I have Babe.
