A collection of what?

[Noodley]

Noodlette Jnr. has a fascination with collecting "things". Here is a picture of her latest collection, with a standard size wine glass to give perspective re size. Anyone hazard a guess as to what her latest collection is?

Hoof trimmings from Shetland ponies?

Unscratched pork scratchings?

How did you get that!?

They stink...

But it's a hobby I suppose

 

[Abitrary]

That's no hobby. That's a calling.

Cobblers, they're my toenail clippings

So basically, she has a collection of toenail clippings. Nice.

Looks like you might have a budding smithy in the house?

 

[Chuffy]

Right. Haven't read more than the first post but I'm thinking those are horse hoof clippings.

Is there a prize?

 

[Chuffy]

Cock. Beaten to it by Longers.
Oh the shame...

At current rates she'd make a good living...

OK then - guess how many ponies are in the field at the bottom of my garden?

Two, one with 5 legs the other with only 3?

No, unfortunately there are 3 - guess what I've been roped into doing tomorrow?

Well, what's the point in only half-heartedly collecting something...

How do you cut them off? Is it a bit like a cheese wire on a handle?
Do you need to heat it up?

The farrier either uses a tool called a hoof cutter (funnily enough! ) or a toeing knife or a drawing knife.

They are not my ponies, so I am not sure how they were trimmed - our horse has considerably larger feet, as elder Noodlette can testify, following getting her foot stood on last week Ouch! I await her toenail falling off, but hopefully this will not be added to the "collection"
