Hi,
Love this forum.
I have found that the best way to get the owner to
appreciate my situation, is to begin with a new horse
by talking with the owner while walking 'round the horse
and ending up standing 10 feet behind his rump,
from where I ask:
"Would you mind just picking up one of his back feet and
holding it out for me so that I can check something out, please?"
If they can do that, I pass them a hammer
and ask them to tap on the hoof.
I, of course, do this with my cell phone in my hand.
And yes, I would call 911 before I called my next stop
to tell them I've had a cancellation and can come sooner.
I'm not totally heartless.
