He took a bit of calming to get him to stand, I really only sedate if extreamly needed. With gentle words I got one front hoof done, the second front hoof, I got a smack in the leg. I used the shakles (horse versions xD) to tie his backlegs to his front legs. He couldent kick me that way. But anyway I got all hooves shod and trimmed. His feet look great, hes a real spark! =D

You where right. As soon as I laid my hand on his shoulder he took a swing at me, squealing and carrying on. I sedated him, it took a few minutes for it to kick in properly but after that he was fine. He is in nice shape, his legs look beautiful and feel as though they are all muscle. Dragon has excellent conformation and strength, he seems to be a good jumper. I wormed him and gave him his strangles vaccination, as we don't have his records on file for some reason so I didn't want to risk it. Otherwise, he is in beautiful shape, keep it up!
