goodbye boots, hello shoes

Walter got his mule pedicure and new shoes courtesy of farrier Joe
Tom Hancock, who very generously donated his services. Thank you Joe
Tom!!

Walter was in the kind and expert hands of racing royalty... Joe Tom
is an ex-jockey and the grandson of Joe Hancock, breeder, trainer and owner of Joe Hancock the
legendary racehorse. As Walter was shod, Mr Corkey and Joe Tom swapped
stories about their years racing the small, not sure if they were legal? (I wasn't sure)
races on the Oklahoma circuit.

The Easyboot Epics were not working out well and gaiters weren't
holding up. Too much gravel for bare feet.

Corkey and Allie B took me on a preview of the next 3 days' route.
Hopefully early start tomorrow.

Allie B and Corkey B.
